ome power supplies have an adjustable voltage output. Milnor uses a potentiometer (POT) to set the voltage output. Voltage is adjusted by turning the screw. Typically turning the screw in clockwise (CW) direction will raise the voltage, while turning the screw counter clockwise (CCW) will lower the voltage.
Some power supplies source 5, 12, and -12 VDC. If the processor uses 5 VDC then this voltage is most important to regulate using the POT on the board. The POT adjusts 5VDC and may also affect other voltages.
Processor boards must have stable 5 VDC to operate properly. If voltage fluctuates approx .25 volts high or low, then the processor will reset. We typically set the 5 volt supply at 5.10 volts DC.
You will need a meter with 2 digits of resolution to set the supply voltage properly.
Never measure the voltage at the power supply! Always check the voltage at the processor board power connector and adjust the supply as needed to get 5.10 volts at the processor connector. Voltages at other boards may vary and of course the voltage at the power supply will be higher than at the processor board. Example of a typical POT on a power supply (your power supply and POT may look different)
The DC and AC power supply connections are pictured below.
