Installation Instructions: Mini Meter Output

This Meter Output is to be used only with a Mini Anodizer. It contains a specially designed circuit to regulate the output voltages for your volt meter. This allows your meter to correctly predict the voltages of the charged anodizing bath. You may use either anolog or digital meters from a source such as Radio Shack.

The most common and least expensive meter will be a multi-meter. These units start at about $20 and are capable of measuring AC and DC voltage, resistance and current. It must read DC voltage to be effective with a Meter Output. Some meters may require adapters to fit banana jack outputs.

INSTALLATION:

Please read all of the instructions before starting the installation.

1) Unplug the power cord from the Mini.

2) Unplug the two leads from the jacks on the back of the Mini.

3) Plug these two lead wires into the back end of the two Meter Output leads that come out the side of the black plastic box. See Diagram #1.

4) Plug the piggy backed plugs back into the Mini. See diagram #2. If you already have a Current Limiter installed insert the red lead into the piggy back plug as described above.

5) Remove the protective film from the mounting strips on the back of the Meter Output. Very carefully (You won't get a second chance!) place the box on the back of the Mini leaving a little play in the leads. Press it firmly in place. See Diagram #1 for the proper positioning.

6) Plug the two color coded leads from your multi- meter into the two jacks on the back of the Meter Output box. If your meter reads negative voltage check to see that the color connections all match.
