5. Setup and Installation
Follow these steps for proper installation of the PS-35-12 power supply:
- Unpacking: Carefully remove the power supply from its packaging. Inspect for any visible damage.
- Mounting: As this power supply operates without a shell, it must be installed within a suitable, insulated enclosure or mounted in a location where accidental contact with live components is prevented. Ensure adequate ventilation for natural air cooling.
- Input Connection (AC): Connect the AC input wires to the designated terminals. Ensure correct live, neutral, and ground connections according to local electrical codes. Refer to the markings on the unit for terminal identification.
- Output Connection (DC): Connect the DC output wires to your load. Pay close attention to polarity (+12V and GND). Incorrect polarity can damage the connected device.
- Verification: Double-check all connections for tightness and correctness before applying power.

CAUTION: Ensure the total current drawn by your connected devices does not exceed the power supply's rated output current of 3A to prevent overload and potential damage.
6. Operating Instructions
Once properly installed and connected, the PS-35-12 power supply operates automatically:
- Power On: Apply AC power to the input terminals. The power supply will convert the AC input to a stable +12V DC output.
- Monitoring: Observe the connected load to ensure it is functioning correctly. The power supply is designed for continuous operation within its specified limits.
- Power Off: Disconnect the AC input power to shut down the unit.
This power supply is suitable for integration into automation machinery, control systems, and other applications requiring a stable 12V DC power source.
7. Maintenance
The PS-35-12 power supply requires minimal maintenance. Adhere to the following guidelines:
- Cleaning: Periodically inspect the unit for dust accumulation. If necessary, gently clean the surface with a soft, dry cloth. Ensure the unit is powered off and disconnected from the mains before cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners.
- Ventilation: Ensure that the natural air-cooling paths are not obstructed. Maintain adequate clearance around the unit for proper heat dissipation.
- Inspection: Regularly check for any signs of physical damage, loose connections, or discoloration. If any issues are observed, discontinue use and consult qualified personnel.

8. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your PS-35-12 power supply, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:
- No Output Power:
- Verify that the AC input power is connected and active.
- Check all input and output wiring for loose connections or incorrect polarity.
- Ensure the load connected is not drawing excessive current, which might trigger overload protection.
- Intermittent Operation:
- Check for stable AC input voltage.
- Ensure the operating temperature is within the specified range (-10℃ to +60℃) and there is adequate ventilation.
- Confirm the load is not exceeding the rated power.
- Overheating:
- Ensure the unit is not enclosed in a way that restricts airflow.
- Reduce the load if it is consistently near or above the maximum rated current.
If problems persist after following these steps, discontinue use and contact customer support.
