WRONG FUSE INSIDE UNIT... BLEW INSTANTLY!
WARNING! PLEASE READ! The Power Supply itself is awesome! No complaints with it so far. The voltage levels match dead on with my Fluke benchtop DMM. I will post more later if any other issues are found. The power supply is shipped from the factory with the voltage setting at 220VAC. No problem. So I set the switches per directions for 120VAC operation. I then plugged it in, pushed the power button and it blew the fuse in the unit! I pulled the fuse out and noticed it was only a 3A fuse. It's clearly marked on the back of the unit that it needs a 6A fuse for 120VAC operation. The 3A fuse is for 220VAC operation. So it shipped with a fuse for EU not NA. Luckily I had a correct fuse to swap it out with for NA power. The manufacturer needs to provide and ship both fuse ratings and let the customer use the correct one.
