When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always

be followed to reduce the risk of re, electric shock and injury to persons or

property.
Read all instructions before using the appliance and retain for future reference.

• Check that the voltage indicated on the rating plate corresponds with that of the
local network before connecting the appliance to the mains power supply.

• Do not operate this appliance with a damaged plug or cord, after a malfunction or
after being dropped or damaged in any way.

• Check the product before use for any damage. Should you notice any damage on
the cable or casing, do not use.

• This appliance contained no user-serviceable parts. All repairs should only be

carried out by a qualied engineer. Improper repairs may place the user at risk of

harm.

• This product must be grounded through the earth connection in the mains lead for
safe operation and to reduce ripple and noise.

• Do not block or obstruct the cooling vent opening.

• Avoid severe impacts or rough handling that leads to damage.

• Do not discharge static electricity.

• This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and above and persons
with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities or lack of experience and
knowledge if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the
appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards involved.

• Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

• Always disconnect from the mains when the product is not in use or before
cleaning.

• Do not use the appliance for any purpose other than that for which it is designed.

• Do not operate or store in an environment of high humidity or where moisture may
enter the product as this can reduce insulation and lead to electric shock.

OVERVIEW

Voltage and Current Adjustment Knob Operation

• There are two adjustment modes for the voltage and current levels - Mode 1 and
Mode 2.
Mode 1: before setting, press the controls to adjust the voltage and current levels.
Mode 2: adjust directly, there is no need to press the controls.

• These two modes can be switched between by pressing the voltage adjustment
control and the current adjustment control at the same time and holding for two
seconds.

Front panel controls

1. Displays the setup value of the output current.

2. Voltmeter displays the setup value of the output voltage.

3. Constant current mode.

4. Constant voltage mode

5. Over current protection active.

6. Panel LOCK indicator.

7. Adjustment knob for current.

8. Adjustment knob for voltage.

9. Power ON/OFF button.

10. Output terminals.

OPERATION

Mode 1 (ne adjustment)

• Voltage adjustment control: Push the voltage adjustment control and then one of
the voltage indicators will light up, the voltage output can be changed by adjusting
the control.

Pushing the voltage control again changes the digit for ne adjustment.

• Current adjustment control: Push the current adjustment control and then one of the
current digit indicators will light up, the current output can be changed by adjusting
the control.

Pushing the voltage control again changes the digit for ne adjustment.

Mode 2 (coarse adjustment)

• In Mode 2, rotate the adjustment knobs to adjust the voltage and current values.
The default resolution of the voltage initial settings is 1V while that of the current is
100mA. The voltage and current adjusting resolution can be changed by pressing
the controls.

Lock Function

Press and hold the voltage control for three seconds to lock the front panel and then
press again and hold for 3 seconds to unlock.

Operation of Over Current Protection

Press and hold the current control for three seconds to start OCP mode, where the

output will be cut off when the output current reaches the set value. In the OCP mode,

press the control to recover the output.

PC Remote Control

COM setting: Congure the COM port settings on PC according to the following list:

• Baud rate: 9600

• Parity bit: None

• Data bit: 8

• Stop bit: 1

• Data ow control: None
