4. Operating Instructions
4.1 Basic Operation
- Ensure the power supply is properly connected to AC power.
- Press the main power switch on the rear panel to turn on the unit. The display will illuminate.
- Setting Voltage: Rotate the Voltage Adjustment Knob to set the desired output voltage.
- Setting Current Limit: Rotate the Current Adjustment Knob to set the desired maximum output current. This acts as a current limit for your connected load.
- Connecting Load: Connect your device or circuit to the output terminals (Red for positive '+', Black for negative '-', Green for Ground 'GND').
- Activating Output: Press the ON/OFF button on the front panel to enable the output. The display will show the actual output voltage and current.
- Deactivating Output: Press the ON/OFF button again to disable the output.
4.2 Memory Functions (M1-M10)
The power supply allows you to save and recall up to 10 sets of voltage and current settings.
- Saving Settings: Set the desired voltage and current. Press and hold the Shift button, then press one of the M1-M10 buttons until the display indicates the setting is saved.
- Recalling Settings: Press the desired M1-M10 button to recall the saved voltage and current settings.
4.3 Protection Functions
The HDP135V6 includes several protection features to safeguard the unit and connected devices:
- Over Current Protection (OCP): Automatically limits or shuts down output if current exceeds the set limit.
- Over Voltage Protection (OVP): Shuts down output if voltage exceeds a preset limit.
- Overload Protection: Protects against excessive power draw.
- Overheat Protection: Activates the cooling fan and may shut down if internal temperature is too high.
- Short-Circuit Protection: Immediately cuts off output in case of a short circuit.
4.4 Key Lock Function
To prevent accidental changes to settings during operation, you can activate the key lock function.
- Activate Lock: Press the Lock button. A lock icon will appear on the display.
- Deactivate Lock: Press the Lock button again. The lock icon will disappear.
4.5 USB Quick Charge
The front panel features a USB port for quick charging compatible devices. This port provides a variable output from 5V to 12V, depending on the connected device's charging protocol.
5. Maintenance
5.1 Cleaning
To clean the exterior of the power supply, use a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents. Ensure the unit is powered off and disconnected from the AC supply before cleaning.
5.2 Fuse Replacement
If the power supply fails to power on, the fuse may need replacement. The fuse holder is located on the rear panel, integrated with the AC input socket.
- Disconnect the power supply from the AC outlet.
- Using a small flat-head screwdriver, gently pry open the fuse compartment within the AC input socket.
- Remove the old fuse and replace it with a new fuse of the same type and rating (e.g., 5.0AT/250V for 110V/115V input, or 3.15AT/250V for 220V/230V input). Refer to the rating label on the rear panel.
- Close the fuse compartment securely.
6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your Hantek HDP135V6, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Unit does not power on. | No AC power, faulty power cord, blown fuse, incorrect AC selector setting. | Check AC power connection. Verify AC selector switch is correct. Replace fuse if blown (refer to Section 5.2). |
| No output voltage/current. | Output is OFF, OCP/OVP activated, short circuit in load. | Press the ON/OFF button to enable output. Check for OCP/OVP indicators. Disconnect load and check for short circuits. |
| Output voltage/current is unstable or incorrect. | Loose connections, faulty load, internal issue. | Check all connections. Test with a different load. If problem persists, contact support. |
| Unit overheats. | Blocked ventilation, excessive load. | Ensure ventilation openings are clear. Reduce load or operate in a cooler environment. |
| Unexpected voltage spikes on output activation. | Characteristic of power supply design, especially with very light or no load. | Always connect a suitable load before activating output. Monitor output carefully, especially with sensitive devices. If critical, consider adding a dummy load or using a power supply with soft-start features. |
