Manuals
(All manuals in PDF format unless noted otherwise)

It supplies 0 to −20 V and 0 to +20 V at 0.4 A, as well as +5 V at 1 A, and was introduced in 1972.

The later PS503A version (introduced in 1976) delivers ±20 V at 1 A when used in TM500 high-power compartments.

The variable supplies can be adjusted independently or can track one another, and are floating. The 5 V output is ground referenced.

The PS503 was designed by Gunther Engert and Roger Stenbock.
