Frontal Panel Description 

In order to properly use the full capabilities of the PB-503A, it is highly recommended that the 

user become familiar with the panel layout and the features of the components. See Figure 1.

A detailed panel layout and description of the PB-503A is given in the section “Components 

and Features”.

The PB-503A can run off of 115 or 230 VAC. The unit comes standard with a 250 V / 1.5 A   

type T fuse for the 115 VAC setting. In order to use with 230 VAC, please slide the switch in the 

back to 230 VAC, and replace the fuse with a 250 V / 0.75 A type T fuse.
