| Post subject: | Zeus and the wrong power |
I rented studio space today and the facility had the wrong power fed to my me. Within a minute or two of turning on my Zeus, it began to smoke and emit a metallic smell. I immediately dumped, powered down, and unplugged. The facility manager corrected the power and everything worked just fine for the rest of the day (6 hours of continuous shooting). Should I have my pack examined for damage? Alan |

Sounds like you may have plugged it into 240V. If so, this could have caused some real damage. I would say if it's still working, use it and keep an eye on it. If you have problems, we'll take care of it. |

Eight more hours of shooting today with no problems. I'm assuming nothing will crop up from here. |

Sounds like you dodged a bullet. If plugged into 240V it should have blown all the modeling lamps and shut down the circuit breaker. Who knows what it got plugged into. So I guess if it an't broke, don't fix it. If it is broke, we'll fix it. |
