3. Setup

3.1 Initial Voltage Setting

Before connecting the power supply to the mains, verify the voltage selector switch on the rear panel. Ensure it matches your local power grid (115V for North America, 230V for most of Europe and Asia). Using the incorrect voltage setting can damage the unit.

3.2 Connecting to Power

  1. Ensure the power switch on the front panel is in the OFF position.
  2. Connect the provided power cable to the AC inlet on the rear of the power supply.
  3. Plug the other end of the power cable into a suitable wall outlet.

3.3 Connecting Load

  1. Connect the positive (+) terminal of your load to the red output terminal on the power supply.
  2. Connect the negative (-) terminal of your load to the black output terminal on the power supply.
  3. If grounding is required, connect the ground terminal (green) to your circuit's ground.

4. Operating Instructions

4.1 Powering On/Off

Press the ON/OFF switch on the front panel to power the unit on or off. The display will illuminate upon power-on.

4.2 Adjusting Voltage and Current

The DPS3010U features encoder knobs for precise control:

  • V-COARSE / A-COARSE: Use these knobs for large adjustments to voltage and current.
  • V-FINE / A-FINE: Use these knobs for small, precise adjustments to voltage and current.
  • Encoder Knob Function: Press the encoder knob to switch between digits for adjustment. Rotate the knob to set the desired value. The coarse adjustment knob sets the value before the decimal point, and the fine adjustment knob sets the value after the decimal point.
