Oh wise list members. Perhaps one of you can identify an
electronic component for me.
The fence charger has failed that protects my vegetable garden
from deer. The charger is a Parmak S.E.3 of the 110 volt type. I found
one of its two 1 amp fuses bad, as has happened over the years when
lightening strikes nearby. But a new fuse didn't fix it this time.
Everything looks good inside except, as shown in the attached
photograph, a small dull red pill apparently overheated. It is in line
from the recently blown fuse to a transformer. It is attached in the
circuit via a plastic block of four set screws that clamp rather than
solder the wires together and all was covered by a plastic sheath. When
I took out the pill it fell apart. It is marked R270 and below that, CM
56. Does anyone know what this item might be?
Parmak is one of these outfits that won't publish a schematic:
they would rather you ship it back to them in Kansas City. The youth at
Radio Shack who looked at the red pill could not identify it. A call to
a local electronics repair place said they would look at it for a
minimum $40 fee. Good Lord.
A new charger of like power is about $150. A beer and some fresh
sweetcorn next year to anyone who can help. Oh and the deer hunting
here is good.
