5. Operation

5.1. Basic Power On/Off

To power on the device, flip the main power switch located on the front panel to the ON position. The display will illuminate. To power off, flip the switch back to the OFF position.

5.2. Adjusting Voltage and Current

1. Press the U/I button to switch between voltage (U) and current (I) adjustment modes. The active parameter will be highlighted on the display.
2. Use the Encoder Knob to adjust the value. Press the knob to select the digit you wish to change, then rotate the knob to increase or decrease the value of that digit.
3. Once the desired voltage and current limits are set, press the OUTPUT button to enable or disable the output. When the output is enabled, the device will supply power according to the set parameters.

6. Maintenance

• Keep the power supply clean and free from dust. Use a soft, dry cloth for cleaning.
• Ensure proper ventilation around the unit to prevent overheating. Do not block the ventilation openings.
• Avoid exposing the device to moisture or extreme temperatures.
• Regularly check cables for any signs of damage. Replace damaged cables immediately.

7. Troubleshooting

7.1. No Power

• Check if the power cable is securely connected to both the power supply and the AC outlet.
• Ensure the main power switch is in the ON position.
• Verify the AC outlet is functional by plugging in another device.
• Check the fuse located near the AC input on the rear panel. Replace if blown (refer to specifications for correct fuse type).

7.2. No Output Voltage/Current

• Ensure the OUTPUT button is pressed and the output is enabled.
• Check if the output cables are correctly connected to the power supply and the load.
• Verify that the set voltage and current limits are appropriate for your load.
• If OVP, OCP, OLP, or OTP indicators are active, address the underlying issue (e.g., reduce load, check for short circuits).
