Voltage Regulator Adjustment

3.
a. 28.5 Volt Adjustment
(1) The regulating voltage, in the 28.5 volt range, is determined by the position of the wiper arm of
the multi-turn potentiometer (1,Figure 2) R46. Clockwise (CW) rotation increases the voltage
level at which the unit operates. Conversely, counterclockwise (CCW) rotation decreases the
voltage level.
b. Line Drop Compensation
(1) Line drop compensation allows the voltage at the load end of the output cable to remain constant
despite the voltage drop associated with the output cable. Clockwise (CW) rotation of the
single-turn potentiometer (2,Figure 2) R24 increases the compensation. This potentiometer
should be set for flat regulation of voltage at the load end of the output cable when delivering
rated load current.
