Based on the module's markings, the switches (labeled 1, 2, 3, 4, A, B) correspond to different voltage settings. The exact combination for each voltage may vary, but the labels indicate the available options:

• Switch 1: Associated with 5V output.
• Switch 2: Associated with 9V and 20V outputs.
• Switch 3: Associated with 12V output.
• Switch 4: Associated with 15V and 36V outputs.
• Switch A: Associated with 20V and 48V outputs.
• Switch B: Associated with 15V, 36V, and 28V outputs.

To select a voltage, adjust the corresponding switches to the 'ON' or 'OFF' position as indicated by the module's design. For precise voltage selection, it is recommended to consult any specific diagrams provided with the product packaging or product listing, as switch combinations can be intricate. After setting the switches, connect the Type-C power source to activate the selected voltage output.

6. Maintenance

The Type-C PD Fast Charge Module requires minimal maintenance. Follow these guidelines to ensure longevity:

• Keep Clean: Ensure the module is free from dust, dirt, and moisture. Use a soft, dry cloth for cleaning.
• Avoid Physical Damage: Handle the module with care to prevent bending pins, damaging the Type-C port, or cracking the PCB.
• Storage: Store the module in a dry, cool environment away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Proper Connections: Always ensure secure and correct polarity connections to prevent short circuits or damage to the module or connected devices.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with the module, consider the following troubleshooting steps:

• No Output Voltage:
  • Ensure the Type-C power source is functional and capable of Power Delivery (PD) or Quick Charge (QC).
  • Verify that the Type-C cable is fully inserted and functional.
  • Check the voltage selection switches on the module; ensure they are set correctly for a valid voltage.
  • Confirm that the connected load is not drawing excessive current, which might trigger protection in the power source.
• Incorrect Output Voltage:
  • Double-check the switch settings against the desired voltage.
  • Ensure your Type-C power source supports the requested voltage. Some power sources may not offer all voltage profiles.
  • Use a multimeter to accurately measure the output voltage.
• Module Overheating:
  • Ensure adequate ventilation around the module.
  • Verify that the load current does not exceed the module's or power source's capabilities.
