Safety Precautions

This product complies with the requirements of the following directives of the European Union for CE conformity: 2014/30/EU (electromagnetic compatibility), 2014/35/EU (low voltage), and 2011/65/EU (RoHS).
To ensure the safe operation of the equipment and eliminate the danger of serious injury due to short circuits (arcing), the following safety precautions must be observed.
Damages resulting from failure to observe these safety precautions are exempt from any legal claims.

• Do not use this instrument for high-energy industrial installation measurement.
• The instrument must be set up so that the power plug can be removed from the socket easily.
• Prior to connecting the equipment to the mains outlet, check that the available mains voltage corresponds to the voltage setting of the equipment.
• Connect the mains plug of the equipment only to a mains outlet with an earth connection.
• Do not place the equipment on damp or wet surfaces.
• Do not cover the ventilation slots of the cabinet to ensure that the air is able to circulate freely inside.
• Do not insert metal objects into the equipment by way of the ventilation slots.
• Do not place water-filled containers on the equipment (danger of short-circuit in case of knock over of the container).
• Replace a defective fuse only with a fuse of the original rating. Never short-circuit fuse or fuse holding.
• Check test leads and probes for faulty insulation or bare wires before connection to the equipment.
• To avoid electric shock, do not operate this product in wet or damp conditions. Conduct measuring works only in dry clothing and rubber shoes, i. e. on isolating mats.
• Never touch the tips of the test leads or probe.
• Comply with the warning labels and other info on the equipment.
• The measurement instrument is not to be operated unattended.
• Do not subject the equipment to direct sunlight or extreme temperatures, humidity, or dampness.
• Do not subject the equipment to shocks or strong vibrations.
• Do not operate the equipment near strong magnetic fields (motors, transformers, etc.).
• Keep hot soldering irons or guns away from the equipment.
• Allow the equipment to stabilize at room temperature before taking up measurements (important for exact measurements).
• Use caution when working with voltages above 35V DC or 25V AC. These voltages pose a shock hazard.
• Periodically wipe the cabinet with a damp cloth and mid-detergent. Do not use abrasives or solvents.
• The meter is suitable for indoor use only
• Do not operate the meter before the cabinet has been closed and screwed safely as the terminal can carry voltage.
• Do not store the meter in a place of explosive, inflammable substances.
• Do not modify the equipment in any way
• Do not place the equipment face-down on any table or workbench to prevent damaging the controls at the front.
• Opening the equipment and service – and repair work must only be performed by qualified service personnel
• Never use this device as a battery charger
• Measuring instruments don’t belong to children’s hands-

Cleaning the cabinet
Prior to cleaning the cabinet, withdraw the mains plug from the power outlet. Clean only with a damp, soft cloth and a commercially available mild household cleanser. Ensure that no water gets inside the equipment to prevent possible shorts and damage to the equipment.

Introduction

These are both power supplies in modern design constructed especially for the service centers and education fields. The LCD displays enable the user to read the fixed values very fast, precise and the outputs for constant voltage and current are continuously adjustable.

Operating Method

1. For constant voltage, the mode adjusts controls (5) clockwise to the maximum position. Switch on the power ON/OFF switch (1) and adjust controls (4) to set the desired output voltage. Connect the load to the output terminal (10).
2. For constant current mode adjust controls (4) clockwise to the maximum position. Adjust controls (5) anti-clockwise to the minimum position. Switch on the power ON/OFF switch (1) and connect the load to the output terminal (10). Adjust controls (5) to set the desired output current.
3. The overcurrent protection will be activated as soon as the load tries to draw more current than set by the current adjustment knob (5). As the result, the instrument switches to CC mode (9), and the output voltage will be decreased.

Caution

In the event of a short circuit at the output, the current will limit to the value set by the current controls, however, the unit should be turned off and the short circuit removed before continuing use.
The mains’ power must be switched off before servicing and servicing should be referred to a qualified person. The unit should be stored in a dry and well- ventilated place and the power cord removed if stored for long periods.
Laboratory Power Supplies are not designed for charging batteries. Any use of this type can cause serious damage to the device, which is exempt from any legal claims.
