OK, as I learn this fun hobby, I am needing help along the way. This case is no different. I am ready to hook up my power supply to my Millet Hybrid, and I need advice on how so I don't fry anything.

Here is what I have:

Output:

What I want to know is how do I hook up the jack to this thing, and what to connect to the board.

Thanks

Humm ... For examples,

I live in Japan and I have 100VAC.

So I m supposed to connect 1 and 3. Then connect 2 and 4. Then apply 100VAC across 1 and 5.

You follow the instructions like I did with YOU outlet voltages.

I m not sure about S- and S+ ... You will have to pull out your volt-o-meter and check them out.

Don't forget the fuse ...

The -S and +S is for remote sensing. You can leave them blank or ...
Connect the +S to the +Out and the -S to the -Out for slightly better regulation.

Thank you, was wondering about the s's. This has helped.

Does it matter what kind of wires I use to hook this thing up? Gauge, material, sheilding, etc...

Thanks

For a Millett Hybrid? Since the amp will draw less than 200mA total, assuming a relatively short run, it doesn't really require anything large. 22 gauge is ok, 18 gauge is borderline overkill. Just the usual hookup wire is fine, you don't need anything shielded. Keep that transformer far away from the amp board or you will induce magnetic interference (read: hum).

Ok, thanks. So you obviously would not recomend them being next to eachother in the same wooden box?

Would it be best to keep them in seperate enclosures? I guess that would be the safest bet.

Thanks, and any more advice for a noob is greatly appreciated; you know, like the stuff that I don't know that I don't know.

Separate boxes are definitely the superior way to go, especially for those EI-core power transformers (which emit a strong magnetic field around them). If you put the power supply in the same box as the amp, allow as much distance between the two as possible.
