Information

DESCRIPTION The Hickok Model 244 Mobil/Comm Power supply is a compact, state-of-the-art, precision instrument, designed to supply filtered, regulated, direct current, applicable to servicing automotive-type electronic equipment, specifically personal communications transceivers such as Citizen Band units. Model 244 incorporates features of particular value to the communication equipment technician. The voltage output is variable from 10 to 14.5 Vdc with a calibrated meter designation for 13.8 Vdc. The current output is capable of supplying 0 to 3 amperes. Both voltage and current are metered. "Foldback" current limiting makes the Model 244 absolutely burn-out proof. Even a dead short across any output terminals will cause no damage. There are no circuit breakers to reset, or fuses to replace. After the short circuit is removed, the unit will return to normal operation. During shorted or high current conditions, the "foldback" current limit circuit reduces available current to approximately 1.4 amperes and the OVERLOAD indicator lamp lights. Three 5-way output binding-post terminals are provided on the front panel, +, -, and ground. Depending on the application, the unit may be operated up to 500 volts off ground potential.
