--- Quote from: BillB on December 05, 2018, 01:48:58 am ---Picked up a new power supply for half-price because people don't seem to understand how voltage input selection switches work. I saw the auction picture and knew this was going to be a score! :-DD

This mistake doesn't normally end as well in 230V land!

All the Siglents that use a linear supply are set to 230 ex factory (Shenzhen is 230VAC) and are shipped with a warning tape over the IEC socket so to warn the user to set the correct voltage.
Like Bill says, someone couldn't read.....and that's a real worry in electronics ! :scared:

That's one plus for having the 120V system here! This isn't the first item I've seen from some liquidator on eBay selling a "not-working" item with the selectors set for 220V/230V!
Is is wrong of me to not tell them that they could probably just change the switches? What about if I try to negotiate even more off the price because it's a non-working item? ;D

Instead of doing the classical recall they just instead gave you a meter that doesn't have the issue. This sort of support is the reason why you pay a premium for Keysight gear versus say Rigol.
I still haven't found the perfect handheld meter yet but im pretty happy with Keysights ones so far. Calibration on all of them is still spot on to the last digit after years.

Er... so what is a “classic recall” to you, then? Replacement seems to be how everyone handles recalls with small gadgets.

So we can expect a flood of secondhand slightly non working cheap U127x series meter coming to an Ebay near you soon :palm:
