jrb06 Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 Tried search with no luck. Was looking for information on the AC adapter for the Dillon scale. Can someone verify which terminial is + the inside pin or outside on the AC adapter cord end. I purchased a used scale without the adapter and would like to know how it is wired. I have several AC 6v adapters but need to verify polarity of plug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Vigilante Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 Found the manual for this scale which strongly recommends using only the adaptor which comes with the scale. It appears the scale is made by CED as their name is listed to return for repair, etc. You might contact them on Monday for the info you need or for a replacement adaptor.

SD1 Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Do you have a electrical tester? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrb06 Posted April 15, 2013 Author Share Posted April 15, 2013 Yes I do. Tried checking the plug on the scale but the battery power does not come back through the plug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SD1 Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Put tester on continuity. Touch center post of PLUG and touch ground and hots on battery plug. That will tell you what it is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChuckS Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 The center conductor is negative, the outer is positive. The supply is spec'ed at 9 VDC at 100 ma. Later, Chuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G29SF Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 Just to backup what ChuckS said... I just went out in my garage and looked at my D-Terminator's power supply. The drawing on it shows the positive (+) being on the outside and the negative (-) being on the inside. I dug out a multi-meter and verified this. So... the 'pin' in the scale is negative (-) and goes inside the hole in the power supply's plug. My multi-meter showed a little over 10 volts DC.
