5. Nastavitev

1. Prepare Power Source: Ensure the power source (e.g., USB charger, power bank) you intend to test is within the operating voltagObmočje enosmerne napetosti 4–25.0 V.
2. Connect the Load Tester:
   • For standard USB power sources: Plug the USB male port of the LD25 directly into the USB output port of your charger or power bank.
   • For Micro USB or Type-C cables/devices: Connect the Micro USB or Type-C port of the LD25 to the respective cable or device.
3. Preverite povezavo: Once connected, the 4-digit LED display should illuminate, indicating the device is powered on. If it does not power on, check the connection and ensure the power source is active.
4. Initial Current Setting: Before applying a load, ensure the adjustable potentiometer is set to a low current or off position to avoid sudden high current draw.

6. Navodila za uporabo

6.1 Osnovna operacija

1. Vklop/izklop:
   • Kratek pritisk na Tipka za vklop/izklop to toggle the load output on or off.
   • Dolgo pritisnite Tipka za vklop/izklop to set the default boot state (output on or off) for future use.
2. Prilagoditev toka: Zavrtite Nastavljiv potenciometer to increase or decrease the discharge current. The current value will be displayed on the LED screen. Adjust gradually to the desired load.
3. Načini prikaza: Kratek pritisk na Tipka SET to cycle through the display modes: Voltage (V), Current (A), and Power (W).
4. Setting Protection Modes: Dolgo pritisnite Tipka SET to enter the protection setting menu. Refer to Section 7 for details on protection functions.

6.2 Delovanje inteligentnega hladilnega ventilatorja

The intelligent cooling fan will automatically activate under the following conditions to maintain optimal operating temperature:

• When the discharge current exceeds 2A.
• When the internal temperature of the device exceeds 40°C.

The fan supports continuous 25W discharge and ensures uninterrupted operation by efficiently dissipating heat.

7. Protection Functions and Troubleshooting

The LD25 USB Load Tester incorporates several protection mechanisms to ensure safe operation and prevent damage to the device and connected equipment.

• OVP (Over-Voltage Zaščita):
  • Activates if the input voltage exceeds 25V (up to 30V).
  • The digital display will show "OVP".
  • Pozor: voltages exceeding 30V can cause permanent damage.
• OTP (zaščita pred previsoko temperaturo):
  • Activates if the load temperature exceeds 80°C.
  • The device will stop working, and the digital display will show "OTP".
• OPP (zaščita pred preobremenitvijo):
  • Activates if the discharge power exceeds 25W.
  • The device will stop working, and the digital display will show "OPP".

When a protection condition is met, the device will halt operation. To resume, address the underlying issue (e.g., reduce voltage, allow cooling, reduce power draw) and then manually or automatically reset the load as configured.

8. Aplikacije

The DROK LD25 USB Load Tester is a versatile tool for various testing scenarios:

• Charger Testing: Measure the actual output current capacity of USB chargers and power banks.
• Cable Quality Testing: Evaluate the quality and performance of Micro USB and Type-C charging cables by observing voltagpadec pod obremenitvijo.
• Bulk Aging Tests: Suitable for factory quality control and aging tests of chargers and power supplies.
• Power Delivery Verification: Confirm stable power output from various USB power sources.

9. Vzdrževanje

To ensure the longevity and accurate performance of your DROK LD25 USB Load Tester:

• Čiščenje: Za čiščenje naprave uporabite mehko, suho krpo. Ne uporabljajte tekočih čistil ali topil.
