muchmore power supply.. any help?
hi, i just recently purchased a muchmore power master 20A power supply from hong kong. i live in australia and in australia we use 240V power as opposed to 110V from hongkong. in the instructions it says that the power supply is either 110V or 240V, but it also says that it is pre adjusted from the factory and shouldnt be touched.. does this mean that if i plug it in it will blow up because there is too much current running through it?? thanks!!

Go to the website or catalog where you bought the PS from and see if it's advertised as 110v or 240v. That should be your clue as to how it's configured.
The PS is considered switchable but like your computer PS it has to be switched over manually - in this case you have to disassemble the PS case to flip a switch inside. I haven't done this on mine since I bought and use my PS in the UK but if the website/catalog you got the PS from is no help you might want to try opening the case and seeing if there are any clues telling you what voltage the PS is ready for, or what switch to flip. I'd look for small numbers printed on the circuit board saying "110" and "240" or something similar if there isn't a clear clue telling you what the PS is currently set at.

FYI you other guys, after you choose the Much More brand on the link Nick posted the cell master charger picture on the right is the picture you want. The link I posted is the same file renamed and put on my personal site.
Nick, the links we've posted show the instructions for changing the MM cell master charger from 110v to 220v, etc., does that actually work for the PS as well?

Hello Frank,
You are right there are 2 pictures of the cell master. The one is the manual and the other as the instructions for the change!
Stupid me, the instructions are for the PS there is no need to do anything on the charger!!!
I'll fix immediatelly!!
Sorry guys!

Re: muchmore power supply.. any help?
Hello,
Open the case of Power master then you'll find 110V and 220V marks on the PCB.
Find squared shaped grey colored connector. Move it to another pin. If the connector places on 220V, it is adjusted for 220V.
If you bought Power master from HK, it must be adjusted 220~240V. but you need to open and check.
Thanks,

Thanks Ryan, I thought the circuit board power links would be the same but wasn't sure.
Nick - hi! One of these days I'll visit Greece, I know it's popular with the Brits

hey guys.. i opened up the power supply and there is only one pin labelled 220V which it was already plugged into. it seems that the PS is auto sensing between 220V and 110V... is this true...?
