|

Hi guys,
So I got mine hooked up with the meters and power supplies supplied by the Electric Brewery. The power supplies red LED's light up, one is considerably dimmer than the other and I get no display on the meters themselves.
From what I can see in the diagrams, I am correctly hooked up. One thing I did not check was the output voltage of the power supplies, but they were pre-set as it said on the package to 4.5v i think. I read on the instructions from the website that they may not work correctly unless set to 5v. Should I try this next?
Thanks!

Definitely confirm the DC output voltage on the power supplies with a multimeter, but like you mentioned they should be fine. Don't go above 5V DC. Let us know what you find out.
Also let us know what AC voltage you are feeding into the power supplies.
Nothing on either meter is a bit odd as the odds of a double failure are low. I know you mention that things seem correctly hooked up, but I would check again or get someone else to confirm for you. Sometimes a second set of eyeballs helps. Posting pictures helps too as there's maybe something you're overlooking.
As well, if you're having issues I suggest not hooking up the signal lines to the meters yet, just hook up the 5VDC power supplies and make sure you can get the displays to turn on with "000".
Good luck and welcome to the forum!
