The Basic Power Station, 189-A0, is ideal for use in classroom laboratories where science programs such as basic electricity, electronics, physics, and chemistry are taught. The Basic Power Station has two variable-voltage AC outputs (high and low voltages), one fixed-voltage AC output, and one variable-voltage DC output (filtered). A control knob on the front panel sets the voltage of all variable outputs. Two standard grounding-type, simplex receptacles and a pair of color-coded banana jacks provide access to the AC power outputs. A pair of colorcoded banana jacks provides access to the DC power output. The Basic Power Station is powered from a standard AC power outlet and turned on by a toggle switch on the front panel. A pilot light illuminates when the unit is energized. It is recessed for semi-flush mounting in wood or metal rails using screws. To prevent tampering, it is assembled so that no screw heads or other means of component disassembly appear externally. The Basic Power Station is made of 16-gauge steel finished with scuff-resistant, black baked enamel. The station is supplied complete with installation and operating instructions, one set of alligator-clip leads, and mounting hardware when required.
