Section 1.O Description
1.l Introduction
The VR28-013 is a bulkhead mounted Voltage Regulator. Its adjustable output is normally set to
+13.0 Vdc with a maximum current of 5.5 Amps.
Note: Although only one model is currently available, a major revision was implemented for serial
numbers 1033 and following. The information contained in this manual pertains to both revisions except
where noted.
1.2 Purpose of Equipment
The VR28-013 is specifically designed to provide a method for installing +12 or +14 Vdc equipment into an
aircraft that has only +28 Vdc available.
1.3 Design Features
The VR28-013 uses the same switched mode power supply (SMPS) circuitry utilized by NT series radios
to provide constant output power without excessive heat generation.
The unit has remote onloff switching,
An output power LED is provided to give a visual indication that the unit is operating.
Power In, Power Out, and Ground pins are grouped together and internally connected for installation
versatility.
The unit has over-voltage and reverse-voltage protection to ensure operation in severe aircrafi
environments.

Introduction
lnformation in this section consists of: unpacking and inspection procedures, installation procedures,
post-installation checks, and installation drawings.
2.2 Unpacking and Inspection
Unpack the equipment carefully. lnspect the unit visually for damage due to shipping and report al1 such
claims irnrnediately to the carrier involved. Note that each unit should have the following:
- VR28-013 Voltage Regulator
- Product lnformation Card
- Release certification

2.2.1 Warranty
All Anodyne Electronics Manufacturing Corp. (AEM) products are warranted for 2 years. See the website
www.aern-corp.comlwarranty for complete details.
2.3 Installation Procedures
2.3.1 Warninas
Do not bundle any lines from this unit with transmitter coax lines. Do not bundle any logic or audio lines
with this unit. Do not position this unit next to anv device with audio interfaces, or siqnificant audio
interference will result.
2.3.2 Cautions
In al1 installations, use shielded cable exactly as shown, and ground as indicated. Significant problerns
rnay result from not following these guidelines.
2.3.3 Cabling and Wiring

2.3.4 Post-Installation Checks
2.3.4.1 Voltaqelresistance checks
Do not attach the VR28 until the following conditions are met.
Check the following:
a) Check harness pins < l > <2* and <9> for +28 Vdc relative to ground.
b) Check pins <4> < I l > and 42, for continuity to ground (less than 0.5 C l ) .
C) Ensure +13 Vdc lines pins <6>, <7> and <14> are not shorted to ground.
2.3.4.2 Power On checks
Power up the aircraft's system with the VR28 installed, and confirm that the unit is operating properly and
the Power Output LED is on.
Double check that the mounting and connector hardware is tightened securely.
Upon satisfactory completion of al1 performance checks, make the required log entries and
complete the necessary MOTIFAA papenvork before releasing the aircraft for service.
2.4 Continued Airworthiness
Maintenance of the VR28 is 'on condition' only. Periodic maintenance of this product is not required.
2.5 Accessories Required But Not Supplied

Section 3.0 Operation
3.1 Introduction
Information in this section consists of the functional and operational procedures for the VR28-013 Voltage
Regulator.
3.2 General
When the Power Key line (J2 - pin 3) is grounded, the unit will turn on and the preset output voltage will
be generated.
An external LED located near the connector illuminates red to indicate that the circuitry is working and
that output power is being generated.
3.3 Operation Specifics
The VR28-013 has no user operational aspects.
