A600 PSU MeanWell PSU + Voltmeter / Ammeter

[fpmpaolo]

Hello people, I'm going totally NUTS trying to put a Voltmeter / Ammeter on my MeanWell RT-65B PSU.

This is my ammeter / voltmeter (Back)

As you can see there are 2 connectors.
The one with 3 cables is the voltmeter + power supply.
So I put the YELLOW and RED cable on MeanWell's terminal block in port +5V, while the black on MeanWell's COM.

Now.

I'd like to connect the ammeter but...where should I put the black and red cable?

This is the guide I followed to make my MeanWell PSU.

Thanks.

The amp meter must be connected so that the current flows through it. So in series.

Contrary to a volt meter which you connect in parallel.

Start with the main (current) circuit.

1. PSU +5 V output goes straight to Amiga +5 V input.
2. Amiga ground goes to meter thick red cable.
3. Meter thick black cable goes to PSU ground.

Then voltage measurement: connect thin red cable from the meter to PSU +5 V output.
Finally meter power supply: connect thin yellow cable to either PSU +5 V or +12 V (not to -12 V!).
Thin black cable is left unconnected.
Note that accuracy of these meters is rather poor, from my experience 5% on voltage, 15% on current.

Took me a while to work it out too, but seems to work (even if with poor accuracy)

Sorry for the huge image but it shows the wiring

Thanks everyone I managed to install it
