Draw a clear distinction between input lead and output lead: input 24V (red lead), ground electrodes (black lead), regulation wire (white lead), reference voltage 5V (yellow
lead), shutdown (blue lead), Positive output high voltage (thick red lead), and Negative output high voltage (black lead). While regulating the potentiometer, connect the intermediate tap of the potentiometer with white lead, and connect the other two ends to ground (black lead) and reference voltage (yellow lead) respectively. Switch on the power, and regulate the potentiometer to have the required output voltage.
