revisions from POT4a

• changed reference from TL1431 to fixed voltage MAX1631
• added circuit to make REF- and REF+ approximately symmetrical about COM
• OPAMP drives REF- and REF+ is a precise voltage above REF-

Identification

top side

bottom side

• POT4b is a green PCB with white silk screen on two sides.
• Dimensions 1.75" x 0.85"
• Two mounting holes (diameter = 0.125"), top side clearance > 0.25"
• The color of DL1,DL2 indicates the input configuration of the board

Led Indicators

• (DL1, DL2) : A pair of single LEDs indicate the present of power. These LEDs are aligned with the power input to the boards.
• DK1 : The intensity of this dual RED/GREEN LED indicates the voltage of the "position signal".

board status / history

• 4-5-06 : B5 when powered by CEB and Greddy smokes RN1 and associated PCB trace. Replaced and controlled power to board to discover that UA1 gets hot. Most likly power was applied to the input side of the board and destroyed the device.

• 3-15-05 : B3 has power application problem.
