Don't know how to install my Mean Well S-320-12?

[krag]

I bought this from one of the bros in the classifieds but it didnt' come with a manual. I want to pair it with a 172w TEC eventually but I dont' have any idea of how to do it. I figured you guys would know or at least give me a link to a downloadable manual. I tried Mean Weel's site but all I got was a PDF file about the PSU schmatics. I even tried Danger den but with no luck. here is a pick of the terminals.

I know have to get a relay for it so if you could show me how to wire it to the relay & TEC I would be very gratefull.:cool:

From looking at the install guide for one of SwiftTechs TEC blocks it looks like the red TEC wire goes to one of the +V outlets and the black wire connects to the -V outlet.

As for wiring the PSU to a relay, if you get one of the Swifttech relay kits its going to include directions on how to wire it together. If you buy your own relay you need to be 110% sure that the one you get can handle the amperage of the Meanwell and you'll also need to find directions on your own on how to wire it together.

Hmm, that looks familiar...;)

To be honest, I never really looked into it as I scrapped the project before I got down to the gritty details. The red does go in to V+, and the black into the corresponding V-. However, I don't know the N and L for the AC.

I am pretty sure th e symbol next to the "N" is for a power source. But that don't help me much. So far I know this from posting my problem here:

1) V+ is for the "red" wire on the TEC.
2) V- is for the "black" wire on the TEC.
3) The symbol has something to do with a power source.


Wheres Larva at? He knows a lot about power supplies.

you could PM him to make sure he sees this, as I doubt many people really know for sure.

We'll also need to know is the pelt a 12 or 24Volt kind?

The pelt that i want to run on it will be either a 120w or a 172w both are 16v pelts...so 12v should be just fine due to the peak efficientcy is achievec at 70% of the pelts voltage.

I think I have just solved my own problem. Heh! maybe this little excersize will help others later on?

Here is the relay schematics that I scanned:

The power source symbol is the top terminal and the "N" is the left terminal and the "L" is the right terminal of the AC plug. Heh! Got it figured out now!!! Thanks fellas for your help! :clap: :clap:
