Introduction

The power supply works as the package is designed and built but I found the adjustable voltage potentiometers to be very touchy as to getting to an exact voltage desired and a bump of the knob would through that off. While not a major problem, I found it frustrating when wanting the positive and negative voltages to match for a project.

    • UNPLUG Power Supply from any external power and disconnect all cables.

    • Remove the two #1 philips head screws from the sides of the power supply.

    • Take a photograph of your wiring before starting to make sure you get them back correct.

    • Using your desoldering equipment desolder the 4 leads going to the two voltage control potentiometers.

    • Remove the 2 potentiometers and all their hardware.

    • To fix this it was a simple fix of replacing the 2K Ohm standard potentiometers for voltage adjustment with a 10 turn precision potentiometer.

    • Insert the new potentiometers in their places.

    • Solder all four wires back to each post.

    • Put new 10 turn knobs on the front.

    • Plug power supply in and test functioning.

    • Put cover back on with four #1 philips screws.

    • You are done.

Conclusion

You are replacing VR1 & VR2 which are the 2 K voltage adjustment potentiometers for the variable power supplies. See page 18 of the pdf

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.
