8. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your power module, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

Device does not power on:
- Ensure all internal connections are secure after assembly.
- Verify the input power source is within the specified DC 6.0V ~ 30V range.
- Check the 15A removable fuse for continuity. Replace if blown.
No output voltage/current:
- Confirm the device is powered on (short press ON/OFF button).
- Check all output connections for proper wiring.
- Ensure the current and voltage limits are set appropriately for your load. The module supports adjustable current and voltage.
Fast charging not working or displaying 'nOn':
- Ensure your mobile device and charging cable support one of the listed fast charging protocols.
- Try a different cable or device to rule out compatibility issues.
- Re-insert the mobile phone to trigger protocol negotiation.
Can the PSU be powered using the USB-C port?
- Yes, the Type-C port can be used as an input if connected to a PD protocol fast charging head.
Can I input 55 volts?
- No, the maximum input voltage for the DC plug is 30V. Inputting 55V will damage the device.
