[motm] How to get +5v from a Power-One supply?

[motm] How to get +5v from a Power-One supply?

2003-01-13 by elhardt@att.net

I know some of you have bought Power-One supplies that also have a 5 volt 
section. I just bought the HBAA-40W-A which is just like the regular motm power 
supply but with an addition PCB for 5 volts. I've hooked up the AC and I get +/-
15 OK, but the 5 volt board doesn't seem to recognize the ground on the 15 volt 
board and therefore my meter shows 0 volts.  Only if I measure between the -
Out/-S and +Out/+S poles on the 5 volt board do I see 5 volts.  The question is 
what do I use for single DC ground to use the 5 volt section?  I need to go 
into a cable that only has 4 connections, +15, -15, +5, and ground.  Do I dare 
tie the -Out on the 5 volt board to the Common on the 15 volt board?  I've 
never seen anything like this before.  Thanks for any help.

Yes, that's exactly what you do. Make the connection at the power 
supply, and not out on some distribution board.
