5. Operating Instructions

Follow these steps to operate and configure your TVPS1-16C protector:

5.1 Power On/Off

• To Power On: Once plugged in, the device will typically power on automatically. If not, press the ON/OFF button (power symbol).
• To Power Off: Press the ON/OFF button. The display will turn off, and power to the connected appliance will be cut.

5.2 Viewing Voltage and Current

The digital display continuously shows the real-time voltage (top display) and current (bottom display) of the connected circuit.

5.3 Adjusting Protection Parameters

To enter the settings menu and adjust parameters:

1. Press and hold the SET button for approximately 3 seconds until the display starts flashing, indicating you are in the settings mode.
2. Use the Up and Down adjustment keys to navigate through the different parameters (e.g., Over-voltage protection value, Under-voltage protection value, Over-current adjustment range, action times, recovery delays).
3. When the desired parameter is displayed, press the SET button once to select it. The value will start flashing.
4. Use the Up and Down keys to adjust the value.
5. Press the SET button again to confirm the new value.
6. Repeat steps 2-5 for all parameters you wish to change.
7. To exit the settings menu, wait for approximately 10 seconds without pressing any buttons, or press and hold the SET button again until the display stops flashing.

5.4 Voltage and Current Calibration

If you suspect the voltage or current readings are inaccurate, you can calibrate them:

• Voltage Calibration: While in settings mode, navigate to the voltage calibration option. Use the Up/Down keys to adjust the voltage reading from -9.5% to +9.5%. Confirm with SET.
• Current Calibration: Similarly, navigate to the current calibration option. Adjust the current reading from -9.5% to +9.5%. Confirm with SET.

5.5 Restore Factory Settings

To restore all parameters to their default factory settings:

• Press and hold the Down adjustment key for more than 12 seconds. The display will indicate a reset, and all settings will revert to default values.

5.6 Fault Inquiry

To check for past fault conditions:

• Press and hold the Up adjustment key for more than 12 seconds. The display will show information about the last recorded fault.

6. Maintenance

The OJOPOV TVPS1-16C protector requires minimal maintenance.

• Cleaning: Ensure the device is unplugged before cleaning. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the exterior. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Inspection: Periodically check the device and its connections for any signs of wear, damage, or loose connections.
• Environment: Keep the device in a dry environment, away from direct sunlight, excessive heat, and moisture.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your TVPS1-16C protector, refer to the following:

• Device not powering on: Ensure the protector is securely plugged into a live wall outlet. Check the wall outlet with another device to confirm it has power.
• Protection frequently tripping: This indicates that the connected appliance or circuit is experiencing frequent over-voltage, under-voltage, or over-current conditions. Check the appliance for faults or consult an electrician to inspect your electrical wiring. Review and adjust your protection parameters if necessary, but do not set them outside safe operating limits.
• Display not working: If the device is powered on but the display is blank, try unplugging and re-plugging the device. If the issue persists, contact customer support.
• Incorrect voltage/current readings: Perform a voltage or current calibration as described in section 5.4. If the readings remain inaccurate, the device may require service.
• Cannot adjust settings: Ensure you are pressing and holding the SET button for the correct duration to enter settings mode. If the buttons are unresponsive, try resetting the device to factory settings (Section 5.5).
