So I just tried to hook up my new to me Edge 9000 mini, and I think I got the polarity wrong. Is there a fuse or circuit breaker inside this thing somewhere. When I did it I head a click.


TIA.

And pray you did not burn out the power supply. Some of the older ones are NOT very forgiving to reversed polarity.

There has to be an easier way to get inside these things. I've taken the lenses off, and If I take out it looks like the power supply is in back wards. It is a fricken pain to the angled strobes out. Please tell me there is an easier way. PS.. Still haven't found fuse.

You need to remove the lenses and there are two screws that hold the power supply in place. Remove the screws and pull the PS out; that's where the fuse is. It is a PITA so that's why you always remember which wire is hot and ground! :D

He mentiond something about it being in backwards. I wonder if he has the 9M version. If so the P/S is behind one of the corner strobes.

Thanks for all the help. I had to take an entire side of lights, plus the alley light,plus a corner on the other side. The fuse was in there, but the fuse had been moved to the other end and I couldn't get the P/S out. The original owner ran extra strobes in the alley lights and when he did that moved abunch of stuff around. Got it all fixed now. Thanks for the help!
