Introduction
This is the User Manual for issue 1 of the RPSU circuit board from Oakley Sound. The
Oakley RPSU is a power supply unit designed to be used in conjunction with the Oakley rack
projects like the HVM and SE330. However, it may also be used with a Dizzy module as part
of a larger DIY project.
As well as giving details as to what the PSU board does, this document contains instructions
on how to wire up your board to your source of power, any external switches and the optional
power indicator. I will also give you some information about suitable sources for your low
voltage AC power supply.
The Oakley PSU allows for various options in the installation. You can use the unit either in
full wave rectification mode for connection to tapped linelumps or twin transformer
secondaries, or in half wave rectification for single phase AC output wallwarts and linelumps.
If all this sounds very confusing at the moment, do not worry, in this manual I will try to make
it clearer so that you make the right decision about what power source you will need.
If you are building the RPSU as a complete DIY project please also download the latest
Builder's Guide. This can be found on the main RPSU webpage along with our very useful
generic parts and construction guides.
