LABORATORY POWER SUPPLY
JT-RD6012-C
1. GENERAL INFORMATION
Dear customer,
thank you very much for choosing our product.
In the following, we will introduce you to what to observe while starting
up and using this product.
Should you encounter any unexpected problems during use, please do
not hesitate to contact us.
The RD6012-C is a laboratory power supply that can be used in various
operating modes (e.g. constant current or constant voltage operation,
etc.). A keypad and a push and turn encoder make the operation of the
power supply very comfortable. Furthermore, the keypad allows you to
conveniently save and reload up to nine settings. The high-resolution 2.4inch color display clearly shows all the important information. The USB
interface and an optional Wifi interface allow you to operate the device
via PC or with an app from mobile devices.

5. MENU INTRODUCTION
1. Operation Menu
Press 'SHIFT'+'0' to enter the system setting menu . In the menu operation, the icon
in red or cursor is the currently selected menu; the icon in blue is the unselected
menu; press ENTER to confirm; press the encoder to cancel or return; press the direction key to move the cursor or switch menu; rotate the encoder to change the setting;
the settings will be automatically saved when returning from the menu page.
Press and hold the 0 button and power on to restore the factory settings; press and
hold the 1 button and power on to restore the factory calibration value; press and
hold ENTER and power on to enter the boot mode.
2. Battery Charging mode
The RD6006 and RD6012 have their own battery charging function to facilitate the
charging of batteries and accumulators. To do so, close the negative pole of the battery with the black port and the positive pole with the green port. The battery charging function can detect when a battery is connected by changing the battery symbol
on the display from blue to red. You have to set the charging end voltage and charging current using "I-SET" and "V-SET". You can start and stop charging with ON/
OFF. IMPORTANT! You have to do this according to your battery otherwise there
is danger to life! As a safety measure you can use the temperature sensor of the
power supply unit to observe the behaviour of the battery. With the temperature sensor the device is able to stop the charging process when the battery has reached a
temperature of 80 °C. As the battery approaches the final charge voltage, the device
will reduce the charge current until it falls below 10 mA and it will stop charging. The
device indicates charging with a green symbol of the battery.
Note that NO batteries with a protection circuit are suitable for charging with the
RD6006 or RD6012.
It is your responsibility to make the correct settings to charge the battery according to the manufacturer's specifications, which can be obtained from the
battery manufacturer. We strongly recommend that you also use the temperature sensor and a suitable protective equipment.
Do not charge damaged batteries. The device and the batteries must be supervised during the charging process, in case of doubt stop charging.
Incorrect settings or faulty batteries pose a considerable risk of injury or death
from heat, fire, burns, explosion and electric shock.
3. Main Page Output Voltage and Output Current Setting
Press 'I-SET' button to set the output current value, you can use the encoder to ad-
just the output value directly, press the direction button to move the cursor.
Of course, you can use the keypad to set the value and press 'ENTER' to confirm.
If you set the wrong value, you can press the encoder to cancel.
Press 'V-SET' button to set the output voltage value, the operation method is similar
to the output current setting. Press 'SHIFT'+ 'I-SET' button or 'SHIFT'+ 'V-SET' button to set the value of overcurrent protection (OCP) and overvoltage protection
(OVP). The overcurrent protection switches o the output of the unit as soon as the
current set at OCP is exceeded at the output. The overvoltage protection switches o
the output of the device as soon as the voltage at the output exceeds the voltage set
on OVP.

booting RD6006 or RD6012. If you turn it o, you will enter the main page directly.
The system language supports English, German, French and Simplified Chinese.
The screen brightness can be set from level 0 to level 5.
The communication interface can be set to USB, Wi-Fi or TTL, USB interface is the Mi-
cro-USB interface on the front panel interface, you can see the
on the top when communication starts.
Wi-Fi interface is the Wi-Fi module connected to the communication interface,
you can see the on the top when communication starts (connect mobile phone
by Wi-Fi, but you need to choose Wi-Fi interface first, Wi-Fi module can not be in-
stalled or removed when RD6006 or RD6012 is powered on), TTL is not available for
the time being.
When the interface is changed, you need to reboot the device to apply the modifica-
tion. The baud rate can be set 9600/19200/38400/57600/115200 under USB mode;
The Baud rate under Wi-Fi is fixed at 115200. The device address can be set from 001-
255. You can set the date and time by rotating the encoder, the setting will be
saved immediately aer modification. Please do not set a wrong time, it may cause
the date to not be automatically accumulated. Press the encoder to return and the
set value will be saved automatically.
Measure is the refresh rate of read back voltage and current on the main page,
you can set it to low, middle and high. Press rotary encoder to return and it will be
automatically saved.
