Hi, I have a Pyramid power supply that the voltage meter says 15.5 volts, I checked the voltage out put with a volt meter that I know is accurate and it shows 13.5. So it is putting out the correct output but I want to know if the meter in the power supply can be adjusted to show 13.5 instead of 15.5. Thanks, airplane1 |

Airplane: I also have a Pyramid 46. My voltage reading (on the binding posts) is 13.83V and my meter reads a hair below 15V also. Sorry I can't help with the adjustment. Just thought I would commisserate with you.... and Welcome to the FORUM! |

I checked 4 models with meters and they all show a variable resistor in line with the meter. On 3 of them it comes off the negative side of the meter and before a 30k ohm resistor. On the older 4th version there was no fixed resistor, the variable was mounted on a board on the back of the meter. |

Hi again, I see what looks like a screw head at the pivit area on the meter, I was thinking of trying to adjust it that way! I would think they adjust them at factory. You would think there would be a way. Hope some one can figure it out,I emailed the company twice and get no responce. airplane1

I checked my MFJ-4035 also. 13.72V on the posts when the Power Supply meter reads 13.8V |

That adjustment at the pivot point is for zeroing the meter. You should be able to adjust with the trim pot that is near the meter. Good Luck |
