24vdc Power supply

[thuffner3]

Hello Gang,
I picked this unit up from e-bay the other day

http://www.ferrus-power.co.uk/Custom...200/fs200.html

The seller claims the unit is 24v but I can't seem to get any more than 16.3 to 16.5v. Am I doing something wrong in testing?

Also I'd like to get a 12v leg out of this thing so I don't have to have an additional PSU in my Controller box.

Can I achieve this with what I have?

TIA.

I suggest you email the Manuf. if you don't have the spec sheet on this unit, it looks like it has multiple outputs, do you have it connected for 110ac? According to the description it has remote sense, which on most supplies must have one of the output voltages strapped across to it for fullvoltage.

This might be stupid suggestion, but the unit is 220V or 110V. Is the selector switch in auto mode? Should be set to 110V.

No Pack,
It depends on how you make your terminal connection from your power source. There are two connector, one for 110v the other or 220v.

Neil, Do you have any hook up sheet at all? as according to the specs it has an enable/inhibit terminal, and the second page looks like it shows terminal 1 as the inhibit?

No, I haven't had the chance to get in touch with the manufacturer yet.

Is pin number one as indicated in the picture at the bottom of page two? If so I was thinking this was the line connection for 220v. with (N) being for nuetral??

It looks like there is two terminal strips (upper/lower), I was refering to the top strip term. 1 , it's a job to make out but it looks like INIH. I wonder if this is an industrial ATX style PC power supply as this would have all the PC required power supplies including PS-ON which is pin 14 of a regular ATX supply and has to be connected to common to switch the supply on.

I'll dig up my camera and take a picture of what I have.

[thuffner3]

It does look like the second set of terminals has INH as a number 1.

That's the best I can do with the camera. Can't seem to get the right lighting. But I can see that terminal #1 of strip #2 is INH. 4 & 5 of Strip #1 are for L N and gnd.
