IMPORTANT

The LEDs are required for stable operation

at low levels of current draw.

This means they must be attached, even if you do not plan to panel-mount

them. Just put them on short leads (or even just solder them to the headers).

Power Connections

The power output connectors are standard 0.25” width male quick-connect

terminals, compatible with the standard Doepfer PSU harnesses and distribution

board terminals.

T+1 & T+2: +12V

T-1 & T-2: -12V

TG1 & TG2: System ground

Compensation jumpers

Power supplies are infamous for mysteriously becoming unstable.

Their performance is dependent upon the type of load they are powering, and

no two systems are the same. As I have dealt with this sort of problem in the past,

there are provisions on the PCB to adjust the regulator output capacitors to tailor

output performance to your specific load characteristics.

The existing jumpers – JP1(V+) & JP2(V-) – bypass these provisions, and

are required for normal operation. The positions marked JP3 & JP4 are connected

in parallel with C4 and C8, respectively, and can be used to increase the

regulator output capacitance. Cut JP1 or JP2 as necessary to reduce the output

capacitance.
