3.1 General Components
Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2:
1. Input Lugs: Sized for #10 hardware. Use these for making connections to the input source.
This board does not contain reverse polarity protection. Check for proper polarity before
applying power.
2. Full-chip PRM-RS module (PS01)
3. Input Fuse (F01): 15 A rated
4. Input Capacitor (C01): 100 µF, 63 V capacitor allows for stable operation with
most input sources.
5. Enable / Disable Switch (S01): Dual switch with the following functionality:
a. S01_1 (Top): Spare switch. Wired to H07 and H06 on the PRM ® board signal test point
header (#6) to allow for extra functionality if needed. Both positions are open and not
connected anywhere else on the board.
b. S01_2 (Bottom): PC enable switch. When in the right position (ON), the PC pin will be
connected to –IN and the device will be disabled. When in the left position, PC will be
open, and the device will be enabled.
6. Signal Test Point Header: Dual row of plated through hole test points for making measurements
or connections to the signals labeled.
7. VTM ® Signal Test Point Header: Plated through holes for measuring VTM module signals
returned through connector X03. For use only with VTM Customer Boards containing
dual headers.
8. Output Lugs: Sized for #10 hardware. Use these lugs to connect the output directly to the load
9. Signal Connector (X03): Used to transfer the VTM module PC, IM, TM, and output sense signals
between the PRM and VTM Customer Boards. For use only with VTM Customer Boards
containing dual headers. Refer to Figure 2 for pinout.
10. Power / Signal Connector (X01): Used to transfer power (+/-Out) and VC to downstream VTM
Customer Board when used. For use with all VTM Customer Boards. Refer to Figure 2 for pinout.
11. Output Oscilloscope Probe Jack (J01): Used for making accurate scope measurements of the
output voltage (i.e. ripple). Remove scope grounding lead and insert probe directly into jack
ensuring a good connection between the jack and the probe ground barrel. Do not attempt to
install while power is applied. May not be compatible with all scope probes.
