4. Safety Information
WARNING: This product involves working with high voltage AC electricity. Improper handling can result in electric shock, injury, or death. Always exercise extreme caution.
- Ensure all connections are made by a qualified professional or someone with adequate electrical knowledge.
- Disconnect the power source before making any connections or adjustments to the PCB.
- Do not touch exposed terminals or components when the board is powered.
- Operate the power supply within its specified input voltage and output current limits.
- Keep the PCB away from moisture, dust, and extreme temperatures.
- Mount the PCB in an enclosure to prevent accidental contact and ensure proper ventilation.
- Verify correct polarity for DC output connections to prevent damage to connected devices.
5. Setup and Installation
Follow these steps for safe and proper installation:
- Identify Terminals: Locate the AC input terminals (typically marked "AC IN" or similar) and the DC output terminals (typically marked "+12V" and "GND" or "-").
- AC Input Connection:
Connect your 100-240V AC mains power supply to the designated AC input terminals. Ensure a secure connection. It is recommended to use insulated wires of appropriate gauge.

- Mounting: Securely mount the PCB within a suitable, non-conductive enclosure to protect it from environmental factors and accidental contact. Ensure adequate airflow for cooling.
- Final Check: Before applying power, double-check all connections for correctness and security.
6. Operating Instructions
Once the power supply PCB is correctly installed and all connections are verified:
- Apply Power: Connect the AC mains power to the input of the power supply. The board should power on, and if an indicator LED is present, it will illuminate.
- Verify Output: Use a multimeter to confirm that the output voltage is approximately 12V DC before connecting sensitive devices.
- Connect Load: Connect your 12V DC device to the output terminals, ensuring the load does not exceed 2 Amperes.
