Switching Mode Power Supply
USER’S MANUAL
INTRODUCTION
This fixed voltage switching mode power supply is designed with high RFI stability especially for DC operated radio
equipment. It is also suitable for a variety of applications that need a clean DC source.
The concealed trimmer allows fine tuning of output voltage range of 13.3 ~ 14.5V for SPA-8230 & 26.6 ~ 29V for SPA-
8232.
Constant current circuitry is used for overload , short circuit and over temperature protection. Output voltage and current
would drop to a safety value when any of the faults occur and the DC output ON indicator will turn off. This power supply also
has Over Voltage Protection to prevent your connected equipment from damage by abnormal high output voltage.
Please read through this manual and pay special attention to the caution and safety precautions.
Keep this manual in an easy to find place for future reference.
