Ebay is dumping paypal as their primary, so I think paypal will be pimping
to all the vendors. I prefer paypal, easy to choose what account Im using,
I can change banks and not have to deal with anything with vendors form of
payment

plus the chinese have a one stop shop to steal all my riches

Yep and the little sucker wanted 240...  Go tell, why don't these things 
do what I was thinking instead of what I accidentally ordered...

Re: [AFMUG] I must be doing something wrong...

[Robert Andrews]

Figured it out...   Needed to order the S unit with a switchable input 
voltage not the plain unit that wants 200-240VAC...   Yep sometimes I am 
just that dumb...


Good news is that Jameco now accepts paypal and somehow they are 
shipping to me faster than Amazon!

Thanks, I'll check that, it sounds like that could be the problem.

Have you checked your input wiring? No bad landings?
Is this an adjustable unit on output side? Not ever worked with meanwell so
forgive questions...

I haven't used that model, but I did have a meanwell power supply once 
with a jumper to select 240v vs 120v, and it came as 240v by default.  
When set to the wrong input voltage, it did turn on, but put out the 
wrong DC voltage and an internal breaker would trip at the drop of a 
hat.
