SP5ELA description. HSTNS-PL18*/** Switching Power Supply modification.

Figure 1 HSTNS-PL18. Pulse Power Supply. Weight: 1000gr. Dimensions: 190x87x38.

Factory default output voltage is 12.0V, output max current 63A on main terminal. Modification for
“Ham Radio” voltage – 13.8V. Parts: R=5.1koHm, 0.125W (or 0.25W) resistor.
On board components:

*Other model - HP DPS-750RB A. Same parameters as HSTNS-PL18. Caution: PCB can be different in this
model.

**Note that a 100-300 Ohm resistor to connect pin 33 to 36 could be used for purpose (to switch PS ON
and OFF) rather than shorted wire (blue wire on photo above).
