[time-nuts] Datum Lamp Voltage

Hi

6.0 to 7.0 volts is a *very* typical lamp voltage on an early LPRO. 

Later production runs did something that bumped the number up to around 9
volts. I've never seen any real data showing that the 9 volt parts are
actually any better (or worse) than the 6.5 volt parts. The change could
have just been a resistor value on a buffer amp...

Hi,

I'm just powering a new to me Datum Rb, Type 102500-001, LPRO for the
first time. The unit locks up quickly, and after about an hour, I checked
the Lamp voltage.

My unit is sitting at 6.9 VDC.

>From the manual on Didier's site, below 3.0 or over 14 indicate failure.
Does anyone know whether the measured voltage should be for a new unit?
I'm trying to guestimat the remaining life.

Thanks,

-John
