- AC Power Input Socket: For connecting the provided power cord.
- Voltage Selector Switch: Red switch to select between 230V and 115V input voltage. Ensure this is set correctly before connecting to mains power.
- Cooling Fan: Provides necessary ventilation to prevent overheating.
4. Setup
- Unpacking: Carefully remove the power supply and all accessories from the packaging. Verify that all components listed in the package list are present: 1 x DC Power Supply, 1 x Power Cord, 1 x Clip Cable.
- Input Voltage Selection: Locate the red voltage selector switch on the rear panel. Set it to either "230V" or "115V" according to your local mains power supply. Failure to set this correctly can damage the unit.
- Power Connection: Connect the provided AC power cord to the AC power input socket on the rear panel of the power supply, then plug the other end into a suitable grounded wall outlet.
- Initial Power On: Turn the ON/OFF switch on the front panel to the "ON" position. The digital displays should illuminate.
- Pre-Operation Check: Before connecting any load, ensure the voltage and current adjustment knobs are set to their minimum positions (fully counter-clockwise) to prevent accidental over-voltage or over-current to your device.

5. Operating Instructions
5.1 Adjusting Voltage and Current
- Connect Load: Connect your device to the output terminals using the provided clip cable or other suitable cables. Ensure correct polarity (Red to positive, Black to negative).
- Set Voltage: Use the V-COARSE knob for large voltage adjustments and the V-FINE knob for precise adjustments. Turn clockwise to increase voltage, counter-clockwise to decrease. Observe the voltage display.
- Set Current Limit: The current adjustment knobs (A-COARSE and A-FINE) set the maximum current the power supply will deliver. To set a current limit, short the output terminals (briefly connect Red to Black) and then adjust the current knobs to the desired limit. The CC indicator will light up. Remove the short circuit. Alternatively, you can set the current limit while the load is connected, ensuring the voltage is set first.
- Power On Load: Once voltage and current limits are set, you can power on your connected device. The power supply will operate in Constant Voltage (CV) mode if the load draws less than the set current limit, or in Constant Current (CC) mode if the load attempts to draw more than the set current limit.

5.2 USB Fast Charging
The integrated USB fast charging port supports various fast charging protocols. Simply connect your USB-compatible device to this port for quick charging. This function operates independently of the main DC output settings.
5.3 Protection Features
- Over Voltage Protection (OVP): Automatically shuts down output if voltage exceeds a safe limit.
- Over Current Protection (OCP): Limits output current to the set value. The OCP indicator will light up.
- Over Temperature Protection: Protects the unit from damage due to excessive internal temperature.
- Short Circuit Alarm: Stops output and triggers an alarm in case of a short circuit, with self-recovery once the short is removed.

7. Maintenance
- Cleaning: Disconnect the power supply from the mains before cleaning. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the exterior. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Ventilation: Ensure the ventilation openings on the sides and rear of the unit are kept clear of dust and obstructions to maintain proper airflow.
- Storage: When not in use for extended periods, store the power supply in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
- No User Serviceable Parts: Do not attempt to open or repair the unit yourself. This will void the warranty and may expose you to dangerous voltages.
8. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| No power when switched on | Power cord not connected, wall outlet faulty, rear voltage switch incorrect, internal fuse blown. | Check power cord connection. Test wall outlet. Verify rear voltage switch setting (230V/115V). If fuse is suspected, contact support. |
| No output voltage/current | Output terminals not connected, voltage/current knobs set to zero, protection activated (OCP/OVP). | Ensure load is properly connected. Adjust voltage/current knobs. Check if OCP/OVP indicators are lit; reduce load or adjust settings. |
| OCP indicator is lit | Load is drawing more current than the set limit. | Increase the current limit using the A-COARSE/A-FINE knobs, or reduce the load on the connected device. |
| Unit overheats | Blocked ventilation, prolonged high load operation. | Ensure ventilation openings are clear. Reduce load or allow unit to cool down. |
| USB fast charging not working | Device not compatible with fast charging protocols, faulty USB cable. | Try a different USB device or cable. Ensure the device supports fast charging. |
