Hi,
No, I think they are OK. Delta is a good brand and while its not impossible to blow them up they are well designed
and do not fail as a result of the usual misadventures they suffer.
I agree, and am glad because it was my mistake the induced you to do it. I think this is a case in point of what I mean above. Delta has made design
provision that the supply could be shorted WITHOUT causing failure where another cheaper brand may not have.
Delta drives are not hugely expensive but I'm sure I don't want to damage mine any more than you wish to damage yours, so it behoves
us to be a little cautious about wiring them up.
I will draw a circuit diagram that may hopefully clear up some of the confusion.

Does it appear to you that I have not toasted the photodiodes? given the measurements I have listed above.

BTW, I was careful not to short out the internal 24dc like I did before. I thought the clicking sounded 're-set-ish' and so I pulled the meter leads after short observation. fortunately the protective circuitry appears to have saved me.
