hey bro,

I've had my EMS from the first week they were introduced to the market. so far I have not had a hitch with it, I once dropped it off a table, and it never had a scratch on it, i've wiped down my machine with everything from 1/50 bleach solution, to clavicide. and it never shown any signs of the touch screen being loose.

Ill ask around to see if I can find more information on it.

take care,

Stephen Stacey

I too have had the ems 400 since release
I bag it, and use madicide never had a issue either
hmmm
I will be staying tuned to this thread

Mine kept going out but I would unplug it and plug it back it to make it work. Had it since Sept 2011, and it's finally crapped out on me. No display on the screen, but it still works. I'm sending it back to see what's up. I miss the old turn dial blue screen one, wish I never sold it! Lol

Hey i still have an old turn dial blue screen Eikon supply if your interested in going vintage?

Just saw on the EIKON site that there is 15 of the ems supply units available...

I got an EMS 400 in Oct 2012. I have had problems with the screen being scrambled... where is shows the CPS, clock, etc, it gets crazy horizontal lines through it and you can't see anything on the part of the screen. Eikon told me to do a factory reset on it, but it doesn't seem to have helped.

Also, I don't know if it is possible, but I have been have problems with my set ups now. Its like there isn't consistent power or something??? My needles are shaking all over the place, not constantly but very spurattically. Maybe for 5 seconds once every minute or so.... I have had to put 3 elastics on just to hold them in place. I have set up the same way for almost 5 years now and all of a sudden I have this problem... I have even replaced my machines with brand new Aaron Cain machines and still have this problem... any insight on if this can be the power supply...?

@ SODAWATER

Or what was causing it??

I have these Problems sinds day one

looking forward to any respond

Thanks

Hey guys,


It's been 2 yrs almost to the day from my last post on this topic.

To give an update on my Eikon 400. In the last 2 months, I have also been noticing some power fluctuations at completely random occasions. Judging by the sound, it seems as though more power is coming through at different times and it is causing my machines to run faster. after a while it will go back to a normal set speed. and at other times it will jump up and down. there seems to be no set time frame for any of this. it can occur in the beginning of my tattoo or in the middle, there is no pattern.. it can be a Little more difficult to notice when I'm using rotary's, because they are harder to hear. especially if I have music going, and can be potentially dangerous if I'm not paying attention, I could over work the skin if I'm not careful.... But now that I have seen this first hand, I am mindful to it...

I'm going to be doing some testing on the board of the 400 to determine the cause of this problem. I've tested the power of all outlets in my building and their is only a 1 volt variance, so even if I used a voltage regulator on the power to the unit, it would not solve the problem. I have a bunch of degrees and shit in Electronic and computer sciences that I never get to use, so I'm going to dust off my trouble shooting gear and see whats going on. I should be able to determine the problem. Most likely it could be something as simple as a resistor over heating, or a burnt cap, or just a communication error with the board...
Hopefully I can find the time to get to this soon to get back to you guys with it. In the mean time I see a Critical Cx2r-G2 in my very near future. But I'm NOT knocking Eikon, they make killer power supplies, and for what I paid. It has been good to me for 2 years without a hitch... I'm sure ill be the first in line for their next flagship model...

Take care.

Stephen stacy!!!

i will be stalking this thread...i wanna know what is turning our machines in to unpredictable russian roullette machines!!!

I called my supplyer and he told me to bring hem in, i am not sure whats gonna hapend...iff he wil replace it...or send it in...i got this piece of crap for about 7 month's...

Iff others having some experience on guarantee or problems please share...i wonder how they take care of their costumers!!

Btw dont get me wrong!!!

mine is a piece of crap...not all of them...if you dont have these problems you got an awesome power unit.

I heard eikon take good care off there costumers...i hope they will take care of me like they did with others

TJ

Any news yet??

I notice allot of change of rpm on my bizarre v2 running the ems 400...its impossible to work with...

Anybody got the same issues with their bizarre v2 and their ems 400?

I am thinking and testing but i cant find an answer for this problem

but i changed my cords for new ones...rc and clipcord...pulled out foot switch...its like when when the machine moves it changes even more...


someone any thoughts on what is hapening???

I hope someone got an answer...

To clear up everything - perfect choice for professionals. If you had any problems regarding power or something similar its due to the fact that these lovely power supplies work only with industrial sockets. If you had any physical malfunctioning problems - Eikon will be happy to take care of that :)
