CHARGER INPUT
Two terminal connections are provided for connection of an external current source for charging the
POWER SUPPLY OUTPUTS
Two independent User programmable voltage power supply outputs (A and B) feed the twelve position terminal strip on the right side of the unit. The top four terminals are all connected to the A supply output and the middle four to the B supply output. The bottom four terminals are all connected together and to the COMMON (circuit ground) of the two supplies.
OUTPUT VOLTAGE / MODE SWITCHES
Each of the two power supplies has an eight position DIP switch associated with it. The top seven switches determine the output voltage for that supply and the last switch (#8) defines the mode of operation (AUTO or ON) for the power supply.
