110 Volt wire connections on power supply Make sure you connect the protective ground (green wire) to chassis If the screws will unscrew out completely I would use Ring wire connectors on end of

Another good power supply that I have used for the past 8 years is an Alinco DM-330MV. It is made for the ham radio world. Is a 30 amp switching power supply with lots of connection options. It also

The way I read the ANSI/IEC60601-1 standard this claims to conform to, these are standards which govern the /safety/ of electrical medical equipment that patients come in contact with. Low leakage,

Good point but that shouldn't be too hard to change - I'm more interested in what people think in terms of it being a medical rated supply and if this means anything in terms of it being higher

Hi Mike, This power adapter has strange DC connector. It shows 4-Pin DIN Male connector which is unusual for this hobby. Peter

Interesting I have that too with Messier objects but since I use APCC I just use TheSkyX to slew to objects. The keypad can slew to stars fine. I updated the keypad to 4.19 a while ago with no issues.

What about this style DC switching medical supply from

Good point. I'll look into mounting it in a PVC or metal outdoor box. Why not RTV? --- Mike

If you set it to EXT, you will never have to disconnect it, and it will function for you in numerous ways without ever creating a problem. That's the reason we put this mode in there. Roland

Thanks Rolando I disconnected it. steve

Thanks for the link. I would mount a P/S like that in a NEMA or UL rated weatherproof enclosure of some kind.

Mike, That power supply is not intended to be used as a stand alone device. It is actually an OEM part, and the expectation is that it will be mounted in an protective enclosure of sorts. Your concern

Yes. I have many decades experience designing, building, and using electronics, and I am familiar with DMMs. I just wanted to confirm that the Mean Well supply still works correctly if the negative

You can use a DVM or digital volt meter to check any power supply as long as the power supply voltage does not exceed the meter rating. Make sure the DVM leads are attached to the DVM properly, ie

Joe, please call us at Astro-Physics. 815-282-1513 Just ask for me.

Yes. I bought this 15V 7A supply for $20 on eBay:

Can you link to this power supply, are you referring to their little switcher power supplies in the perforated metal cases?

Yes, the negative terminal is always the ground terminal which is also connected to the case. Roland

Make sure that your hand controller is set to EXT so that it does not send time, date and location to the mount when power is applied. EXT allows the mount to be properly initialized by the ASCOM

A week or two ago, Roland stated that the Mean Well works fine with A-P mounts. I bought a 15V model, and have a question. The AC line input ground terminal is connected to the metal case, as it
