Merlin64 Posted September 21, 2013 Report Share Posted September 21, 2013 My NS50 has become unreliable , it keeps blowing fuse after fuse . Luckily I carry my Challenger to clip onto the scope . Any suggestions or ideas to resolve this issue? I rang nitesite to ask for some more fuses and they still have not sent me any over 2 weeks ago now .

djgeoff Posted September 22, 2013 Report Share Posted September 22, 2013 i had this problem with my ns50, i used anti surge ( denoted by the letter T on end cap e.g T 2amp, F 2amp is quick or fast blow) too tide me over until i could afford the lion battery..... the lion battery seems to have resolved it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blowing fuses tends to be indicative of another problem. If its in Warranty take it back, if not ask advice form NS or send it back for repair if you are not electrically minded!

Merlin64 Posted September 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2013 Its not in warranty , and already been returned once due to a faulty power lead . Got some fuses ordered off e bay but to be honest I find my pulsar challenger better and easier to use . plus it does not light your face up. If I get the NS50 running again I will try it again but I have to say I found it very disappointing in the field , its just not robust enough . The battery connections are just not robust enough , I have had to solder them in myself, as they kept coming loose . I regret buying it at £400 I could have got a dedicated night scope built to a tougher spec . guess you live and learn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mick miller Posted September 23, 2013 Report Share Posted September 23, 2013 Li-ion battery doesn't give the same trouble. But this happens occasionally with my ns200 if I use the old fashioned brick battery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merlin64 Posted September 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2013 Took the plunge and orderd li-on battery from scotts for £99.00. Looking forward to hassle free shooting and it looks a lot lighter . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merlin64 Posted September 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2013 Wow that is cheap , hope this proves to be worth the money . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peek-at Posted September 25, 2013 Report Share Posted September 25, 2013 Must have plenty of money then.....Most of these things are shipped in from china anyway and at £12 mine has been very useable with no problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mick miller Posted September 26, 2013 Report Share Posted September 26, 2013 Not all the cheap chinese batteries are correctly regulated. I would rather pay the money for the nitesite or deben li-ion batteries than take a chance. Some folks have fried their nitesites by using those little blue batteries. Plus, if you have problems nitesite will replace faulty items foc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pigeon Paul Posted September 26, 2013 Report Share Posted September 26, 2013 My NS200 Has just started blowing fuses (only 6 months old)...... Went back to Nitesite on Monday via local RFD I bought it from. I await a response...! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
golfshot Posted September 26, 2013 Report Share Posted September 26, 2013 Got the NS50 about two years ago had to send it back after 3 weeks little niggles ever since had to get new cables recently .in the end i was reading EVO's thread in craft & DIY and got him to build me a kit IMO it works a lot better .

And no I don't have plenty of money Mr Peek At, just an ordinary working man . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
