2. Safety Information and Precautions
Important: For indoor use only. To ensure extended life, avoid operating the unit for prolonged periods at currents exceeding its rated capacity.
- Always ensure the power supply is disconnected from the AC mains before making any connections or adjustments.
- Verify the input voltage switch setting (110V/220V) matches your local power supply before connecting. Incorrect setting can cause damage.
- Ensure proper ventilation around the unit to prevent overheating. Do not cover the ventilation holes.
- This power supply is equipped with short-circuit, overload, and overvoltage protection functions to safeguard connected devices.
- Only qualified personnel should perform installation and wiring.

3. Setup and Wiring
This power supply features a terminal block for AC input and DC output connections. Follow these steps for proper setup:
3.1. Terminal Identification
Figure 3.1: Detailed view of the terminal block, showing connections for Live (L), Neutral (N), Ground (⌴), DC output negative (COM), DC output positive (+V), and the voltage adjustment potentiometer (ADJ).
- L (Live wire): Connect to the live wire of your AC mains.
- N (Neutral wire): Connect to the neutral wire of your AC mains.
- ⌴ (Ground wire): Connect to the protective earth ground. This is crucial for safety.
- COM (DC output -): Connect to the negative terminal of your DC load.
- +V (DC output +): Connect to the positive terminal of your DC load.
- ADJ (Voltage Adjustment): A potentiometer for fine-tuning the DC output voltage by approximately ±10%.
3.2. Installation Steps
- Verify Voltage Switch: Before connecting any wires, ensure the 110V/220V switch (refer to Figure 2.2) is set to match your local AC supply voltage.
- Mounting: Securely mount the power supply in a well-ventilated area using appropriate fasteners. Ensure there is adequate space around the unit for air circulation.
- AC Input Wiring: Connect your AC mains power cable to the L, N, and ⌴ terminals. Use appropriately sized wires for the current rating.
- DC Output Wiring: Connect your DC load to the COM (-) and +V (+) terminals. Observe correct polarity.
- Double-Check Connections: Before applying power, carefully inspect all connections to ensure they are secure and correctly wired.
4. Operating Instructions
Once the power supply is correctly installed and wired, you can proceed with operation:
- Power On: Apply AC power to the unit. The power supply should activate.
- Voltage Adjustment (Optional): If your application requires a precise 12V output or a slightly different voltage within the adjustable range, use a small screwdriver to carefully turn the 'ADJ' potentiometer while monitoring the output voltage with a multimeter. Adjust slowly to avoid overshooting the desired voltage.
- Load Connection: Connect your 12V DC devices to the output terminals. Ensure the total current draw of your devices does not exceed 20A.
- Power Off: To turn off the power supply, disconnect the AC mains power.
5. Maintenance
Regular maintenance helps ensure the longevity and reliable operation of your power supply:
- Cleaning: Periodically clean the exterior of the power supply, especially the ventilation holes, to prevent dust buildup. Use a soft, dry cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners.
- Ventilation: Ensure that the area around the power supply remains clear and well-ventilated. Obstructions can lead to overheating.
- Connection Check: Occasionally inspect the wiring connections to ensure they remain tight and free from corrosion.
- Environmental Conditions: Operate the power supply within its specified temperature range (20℃ to +60℃) and avoid high humidity environments.
6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your power supply, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| No output voltage | No AC input power Incorrect 110V/220V switch setting Internal fuse blown Overload protection activated | Check AC power source and connections Verify switch setting (disconnect power first) Contact support; do not attempt to replace fuse Reduce load; disconnect and reconnect power |
| Output voltage too low/high | ADJ potentiometer misadjusted Overload condition | Adjust ADJ potentiometer with a multimeter Reduce load; ensure total current is within 20A |
| Unit overheating | Insufficient ventilation Excessive load | Ensure clear airflow around the unit Reduce load; ensure total current is within 20A |
| Intermittent power | Loose connections Faulty wiring | Check and secure all wiring connections Inspect wires for damage and replace if necessary |
If the problem persists after attempting these solutions, please contact Greluma customer support.
