Adding a digital voltmeter to any Astron power supply

- You can add them to virtually any model Astron power supply, metered or non-metered. Takes less than one hour for a DYI. You can get these on ebay for about $10, by doing an ebay search for "motorcycle voltmeter". Disclaimer: You (not I), are fully responsible for your own equipment and any mods or repairs that you do it it. If you don't know what you are doing, then don't try it. If you do try it, make sure the power supply is unplugged from the wall and has no power, and take all the necessary safety precautions. I assume no responsibility.

Those voltmeters work very well. Be advised though that the double-sided tape is fairly permanent. Trying to pry the meter off the panel will result in the back of the meter breaking off. WIth that result, it still works!
I put one of these on my non-metered Astron, thanks to this video. Works great!
Great idea man. I just picked up the adjustable voltage model of this power supply and this is going to help a ton
Good idea
If there's a major power outage tonight, you'll have a good idea what happened!!!
Can a combination voltage/ ammeter be installed? How would it be hooked up?
(Just saw one on FeePay...)
Hi. I have a Astron RM-12A. It has a power switch on the front that kinda flickers. Any thoughts on what could cause this and if it will be an issue? Asking because I had the supply randomly turn off. I unplugged it and waited plugged it back in and it works again. Appreciate any insight you can give.
No. Do not worry about it.
It is a neon bulb and as they age they start flickering and often eventually quit working completly.
Why add this digital meter? Make me wonder if the owner can read to standard meters assuming the PS has those.
Do you know if there's an Add-on Meter that does BOTH Voltage and Amps for the Astron?
