SSL-newbie polarity question

[moqtev]

Hi all!

Just assembled my first DIY project the SSL.

Just powered up the main board without the control PCB connected and with out any IC's (including VCA's) in the sockets.

I want to check if everything looks OK so far....and it does I think except for a few things. For one the polarity is reversed, for instance on the two jumpers that says -15V and +15V my meter says +15 at the -15 mark and vise versa. Thats wrong isn't it? Did I put something in the wrong way.
The bridgerectifier has a "+" on the housing and it matches the plus on the PCB. The diodes and caps is also OK...can anyone give a clue is this wrong or right?

Best regards

Morten

Are you measuring a + voltage on the pin of the diode bridge that is marked + ? If not --- could the wires on your meter be reversed?

Silly question, I know, but I've done it.

Peace,
Paul
