AC Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 I measured each of the two outputs on my Allo Shanti that I just received a couple days ago. The 5V/3A output reaches only 4.7VDC, and the 5V/1A output reaches 4.5VDC. Both were measured with no load using a Fluke DMM. Additionally, it takes over two minutes for the output voltages to slowly 'ramp up' to these levels [ never reaching 5.2VDC as spec'd on the Allo website ] while my other power supplies reach full 5VDC immediately upon powering them ON. Is this Allo Shanti behaving normally? Is it out of spec? Are there trim pot adjustments that I should make? Which one? Is my Allo Shanti defective and should it be sent back to Allo? Thanks. greyscale 1 Link to comment

allo.com Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 Hi AC indeed you seem to have a faulty unit. Shanti output is 5.2V at low loads and 5.05 V usually at full load . I think that our CS is taking care of you. Sorry about your faulty unit I understand how frustrating it can be. Link to comment
JanRSmit Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 Mine has 5.3volt on both when not loaded. So far functioning fine. Seems you have a faulty one. Link to comment
