3. Setup Instructions
- Connect Power Input: Connect your fast charger or power adapter to one of the input interfaces on the test board (Type-C, Micro USB, Mini USB, or DC-005_IN). Ensure the connection is secure.
- Connect to Load Tester: Use the 4-wire output terminals (A+, V+, A-, V-) to connect the test board to a compatible load tester, such as the DL24. This allows the load tester to measure the output voltage and current from the test board.
- Initial Power-Up: Once connected, the board will power on. The PWR indicator light will illuminate.
- Voltage Selection: Use the 'V-' and 'V+' keys on the board to select the desired voltage for the fast charging protocol you wish to test. The available voltages depend on the detected protocol (e.g., 5V, 9V, 12V, 15V, 20V, 28V for PD3.1).
4. Operating Instructions
4.1. Fast Charging Protocol Deception
The DL24B-XSP16 board supports various fast charging protocols, allowing you to trigger specific voltages for testing. Use the 'V-' and 'V+' keys to cycle through the available voltages for the detected protocol. For example, if a PD3.1 charger is connected, you can select 5V, 9V, 12V, 15V, 20V, or 28V.
4.2. Power Outage Memory Function
This function is designed for rapid simulation testing in production environments. The measurement mode is automatically memorized. Upon the next power-on, the device will automatically recall the previously set mode, significantly reducing testing time and improving efficiency.
4.3. Voltage Memory Function
This is a special voltage memory function that is manually adjusted. After a power outage, the next time the system is powered on, it will call up the previously stored protocol and voltage data. This intelligent and fully automatic sending of corresponding protocols helps achieve fast charging equipment aging. For example, if you set the voltage to 12V before powering off, the board will automatically recall 12V when powered on again.
5. Maintenance
- Cleaning: Keep the board clean and free from dust and debris. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the surface. Avoid using liquids or abrasive cleaners.
- Storage: Store the device in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
- Handling: Handle the circuit board with care to avoid damaging components. Avoid static discharge.
6. Troubleshooting
- No Power:
- Ensure the power adapter is properly connected to one of the input ports.
- Verify the power adapter is functional and providing power.
- Check if the PWR indicator light is on.
- Incorrect Voltage Output:
- Confirm that the connected charger supports the desired fast charging protocol.
- Use the 'V-' and 'V+' keys to select the correct voltage.
- Ensure the charger is capable of delivering the requested voltage.
- No Reading on Load Tester:
- Check the 4-wire connections between the test board and the load tester for proper polarity and secure contact.
- Ensure the load tester is correctly configured to read voltage and current.
7. User Tips
- For accurate measurements, always use a 4-wire connection to your load tester to minimize voltage drop across the test leads.
- When performing long-term aging tests, ensure adequate ventilation for both the test board and the power adapter to prevent overheating.
- Familiarize yourself with the specific fast charging protocols of your chargers to effectively use the voltage deception features.
