4. Setup

Follow these steps to set up your AFITSEP TPR-3020D DC Power Supply.

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove the power supply from its packaging. Inspect for any signs of damage during transit. Report any damage to your supplier immediately.
2. Placement: Place the power supply on a stable, level surface. Ensure adequate ventilation around the unit, keeping at least 10 cm (4 inches) clear space on all sides, especially around the rear fan.
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 input socket on the rear panel.
   • Plug the other end of the AC power cord into a grounded mains outlet.
4. Output Connections:
   • Before connecting any load, ensure the power supply is OFF.
   • Connect the positive (+) terminal of your load to the red (+) output terminal of the power supply.
   • Connect the negative (-) terminal of your load to the black (-) output terminal of the power supply.
   • If grounding is required for your application, connect the ground terminal of your load to the green (GND) output terminal.
   • Ensure all connections are secure and properly insulated.

5. Operating Instructions

This section details the basic operation of the TPR-3020D DC Power Supply.

5.1 Basic Operation

1. Power On: After making all connections, turn the power switch to the ON position. The displays will illuminate.
2. Setting Voltage:
   • Adjust the Voltage Adjustment Knob (coarse) to set the approximate desired voltage.
   • Use the Voltage Adjustment Knob (fine) for precise voltage adjustment.
   • Observe the Voltage Display to confirm the setting.
3. Setting Current Limit:
   • Important: It is recommended to set the current limit before connecting a sensitive load.
   • To set the current limit without a load, short-circuit the output terminals (briefly connect + to - with a suitable wire). The current display will show the maximum current.
   • Adjust the Current Adjustment Knob (coarse) to set the approximate desired current limit.
   • Use the Current Adjustment Knob (fine) for precise current limit adjustment.
   • Remove the short circuit. The current display will now show zero (or a very small leakage current).
4. Connecting Load: Connect your load to the output terminals as described in the Setup section. The power supply will now deliver the set voltage and current (up to the set limit).
5. Power Off: Before disconnecting the load, turn the power switch to the OFF position.

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

The TPR-3020D automatically switches between Constant Voltage (CV) and Constant Current (CC) modes depending on the load conditions.

• Constant Voltage (CV) Mode: When the load resistance is high, the output current is less than the set current limit. The power supply maintains the set output voltage.
• Constant Current (CC) Mode: When the load resistance is low, the output current reaches the set current limit. The power supply maintains the set output current, and the output voltage drops accordingly.

6. Maintenance

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

• Cleaning: Disconnect the power supply from the mains 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 on the rear panel are free from dust and obstructions. Use compressed air to clear dust if necessary.
• Fuse Replacement: If the power supply does not turn on, the fuse may need replacement.
  • Disconnect the power supply from the mains.
  • Locate the fuse holder on the rear panel.
  • Carefully remove the fuse holder and replace the fuse with one of the same type and rating (e.g., 250V/5A).
  • Reinsert the fuse holder securely.
• Storage: When not in use for extended periods, store the power supply in a dry, dust-free environment.
