4. Setup

Follow these steps to set up your PULME HSPY-400-1 DC Lab Switching Power Supply:

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove the power supply and all accessories from the packaging. Verify that all components are present, including the power cord and output cables.
2. Placement: Place the power supply on a stable, level surface, ensuring adequate space around the unit for ventilation. Do not place it near heat sources or in direct sunlight.
3. Power Connection: Ensure the power switch on the front panel is in the OFF position. Connect the provided AC power cord to the AC power inlet on the rear panel of the power supply, then plug the other end into a grounded 110V AC power outlet.
4. Load Connection: Connect your load to the output jacks on the front panel. Connect the positive (+) terminal of your load to the red output jack and the negative (-) terminal of your load to the black output jack. Ensure connections are secure.
5. Initial Power On: Turn the power switch to the ON position. The display will illuminate, showing the default voltage and current settings.

5. Operating Instructions

This section details how to operate your power supply for various applications.

Setting Voltage and Current:

1. Enable Output: Press the Stop/Run button to enable the output. The display will show the current output status.
2. Select Parameter: Press the U/I button to toggle between voltage (U) and current (I) adjustment modes. The active parameter will be highlighted or indicated on the display.
3. Adjust Value: Use the Adjustment Knob to change the value of the selected parameter. Turn clockwise to increase, counter-clockwise to decrease. The knob allows for both fine and coarse adjustments.
4. Fine Adjustment: For precise adjustments, use the Left and Right arrow buttons to select a specific digit on the display, then use the Adjustment Knob to change that digit.
5. Confirm Settings: Once the desired voltage and current are set, the power supply will operate in either Constant Voltage (CV) or Constant Current (CC) mode, depending on the load.

Constant Voltage (CV) and Constant Current (CC) Modes:

• Constant Voltage (CV): When the load resistance is high enough that the set current limit is not reached, the power supply will maintain the set output voltage.
• Constant Current (CC): When the load resistance is low enough that the output current reaches the set current limit, the power supply will maintain the set output current, and the output voltage will drop accordingly.

6. Storage and Recall Memory Function

The power supply features three memory buttons to store and recall frequently used voltage and current settings.

1. Storing Settings:
   • Set the desired voltage and current using the adjustment knob and U/I button.
   • Press and hold one of the memory buttons (e.g., M1, M2, or M3) for approximately 3 seconds until a confirmation message appears on the display, indicating the settings have been saved.
2. Recalling Settings:
   • Briefly press the desired memory button (e.g., M1, M2, or M3). The stored voltage and current values will be loaded and displayed.
   • The output will automatically adjust to the recalled settings.

7. Maintenance

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and reliable operation of your power supply.

• Cleaning: Disconnect the power supply from the AC outlet before cleaning. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the exterior. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Ventilation: Regularly check that the ventilation openings are free from dust and debris. A clogged fan can lead to overheating.
• Storage: If storing the unit for an extended period, ensure it is clean, dry, and stored in a stable environment away from extreme temperatures or humidity.
• Inspection: Periodically inspect the power cord and output cables for any signs of damage. Replace damaged cables immediately.
