Hi, Guys - I recently acquired a POWERTEC, SuperSwitcher, Model 9N15-50-372-FG-3. Just wondering if anyone has an owners or service manual for this power supply or knowledge as how to program the 'J1' connector. I did not get and do not have the plug that fits the 'J1' socket. Your help in this matter is greatly appreciated. Thank you, Jack
Look at the close up on this page, the text on the wrapper has some j1 information. it is a different model, but might help.

From the picture, can anyone give definitions of the 'J1' connections on this power supply? - And do they need to be configured in some way to make the PS work? - Thanks, Jack
Looks like it is dedicated for an auxiliary unit (like wired remote), for controlling the power supply.

picture shows wonky AC cord attached wrong >should power up with out J1
1) make sure big jumper is in place for 115V ( this is live! use plexiglass to cover)
2) use a 3 wire AC plug
3) use a 1A dummy load on output for stability ~ 30W worth of sand cast resistors

Thanks for replying - Big jumper is in place for 115VAC - So how does one interpret AC-HI and AC-LO? Jack
AC Hi = hot or live (black )
AC lo = neutral (white )
Safety Earth = chassis (green)
let us know when you succeed!

Thanks, infinia - Miracles still happen - I don't know if this made any difference but as I was looking deep into the power board section of the supply, I noticed that a standard cartridge type fuse was not seated into its socket [angled at about 45 deg.] - The fuse was good so I seated it - Learning that AC-LO does not mean 115VAC and AC-HI does not mean 230VAC, I wired it correctly - The picture shows the results [notice the GREEN, POWER GOOD indicator] - Thanks for your help, Jack

nice
I see by your voltage, your use is for a manual battery charger, 50 amps worth
right the big jumper handles the input voltage change , lucky you didn't blow someone or something up!

My curiosity got the best of me - I mentioned that while I was looking inside the PS, I noticed that a standard, low current, cartridge type fuse had been unseated and was sitting in the holder at about a 45 deg. angle - The fuse and holder was in near perfect condition so I seated it, wired the AC input correctly and plugged it in to house current - IT WORKED BEAUTIFULLY - so today, I removed the fuse and applied power - The output was 0.2 volts - reseating the fuse, once again, gave 13.8 VDC - I feel that someone in the history of this PS knew what they were doing and had a plan, Jack
