Pull  the  front  bezel  away  from  the  chassis  to  access  the 
calibration adjustments. 

 

VOLTAGE AND V METER ADJUSTMENTS

 

 

1.

 

Connect the multimeter (set to 20 DCV Range) to measure the 
dc  voltage  across  the  power  supply 

(+)  and  (–)

  OUTPUT 

terminals. 

2.

 

Turn on the power supply, and set the front panel 

VOLTAGE

 

control maximum (fully clockwise). 

3.

 

Adjust Trimmer 

VR3

 for a reading of 14.50 ± 0.10 volts on the 

multimeter. 

4.

 

Set  the  power  supply  front  panel 

VOLTAGE

  control  for  a 

reading of 14.00 ± 0.10 volts on the multimeter. 

5.

 

Adjust Trimmer 

VR4

 so that the  meter pointer on the 

V

  meter 

lines up with the 14 volt mark. 

6.

 

Turn off unit power to proceed to the current adjustments. 

 

CURRENT AND A METER ADJUSTMENTS 

 

1.

 

Connect  the  0  to  2  ohm  resistive  load  in  series  with  the 
multimeter  (set  to  20  DCA  Range)  to  measure  the  dc  output 
current  across  the  power  supply 

(+)  and  (–)

  OUTPUT 

terminals. 

2.

 

Turn  on  the  power  supply  and  adjust  the  resistive  load  for  a 
reading of 10.0 ± 0.1 amps on the multimeter.
