Operation

4.1. Setting the Output Voltage of CH1 and CH2

Connect the power supply to the power source.
Press the POWER SWITCH [1] to turn on the power supply.
Press AUTO CURRENT CUT OFF PROTECTION KEY [2] to activate output and the OUTPUT INDICATOR [3] will on.
To set CH1, use the CH1 VOLTAGE TUNE KNOB [6] to adjust the CH1 voltage to give the desired output voltage.
Connect the circuit to the TERMINALS [21,22]
When the CH1 CV/CC INDICATOR [5] is in red color, adjust the CH1 CURRENT TUNE KNOB [4] to give a suitable current.
To set CH2 voltage, repeat the above steps using CH2 VOLTAGE TUNE KNOB [11], short MAIN TERMINAL [18,19], and CH2 CV/CC INDICATOR [12] instead.

Remarks:

If CH2 cannot be adjusted, check the TRACKING MODE SELECTION KEY [14, 15] is not pressed.
If want to preset a desired current output before connecting to the circuit, read Section 4.2 first.

Caution:

Make sure the INPUT VOLTAGE SELECTOR [26] is set to the correct position Otherwise; it will damage the power supply.
Do not short the MAIN TERMINALS over 1 minute; it will damage the power supply.

4.2. Setting the Output Current of CH1 and CH2

Turn the power supply on
Refer to Section 4.1 step 1-4 to give the voltage around 2-5V
For CH1, turn the CH1 CURRENT TUNE KNOB [4] anticlockwise to reach the minimum current value.
Short the + and the – MAIN TERMINAL [21,22] with a conductor which is cross section area not less than 0.5mm
Ensure the output indicator is on. Otherwise, press the AUTO CURRENT CUT OFF PROTECTION KEY [2]. Then the CH1 CV/CC INDICATOR [5] will turn to red color.
Adjust the CH1 CURRENT KNOB [4] to give the desired output current.
Repress the AUTO CURRENT CUT OFF PROTECTION KEY [2] to Cut off the output.
Then the CH1 CV/CC INDICATOR [5] will turn a green color.
Remove the conductor from the MAIN TERMINAL [21,22]
Set the desired voltage.
Connect the circuit to the MAIN TERMINAL [21,22]
To setting CH2 current, repeat the above steps, use CH2 CURRENT TUNE KNOB [13], short MAIN TERMINAL [18,19], and CH2 CV/CC INDICATOR [12] instead.

Remarks:
The conductor is not provided
Caution:

Ensure the current is set to zero before shorting the MAIN TERMINALS. Otherwise, it will damage the power supply.
Do not short the MAIN TERMINALS over 1 minute; it will damage the power supply.

4.3. Setting Normal Mode

Release both TRACKING MODE SELECTION KEY [14, 15].
In independent mode, CH1 and CH2 are two independent power supply units, voltage or current can be adjusted separately.
Adjust CH1 or CH2 VOLTAGE/CURRENT KNOB [4, 6 / 11, 13] to set the desired value.
Connect the circuit to the CH1 or CH2 terminals.

4.4 Setting Series Tracking Mode

Press the TRACKING MODE SELECTION KEY [14] and release the TRACKING MODE SELECTION KEY [15] to enable series tracking mode. In series tracking mode, CH2 output voltage and current value follow the CH1 setting. The output voltage is double the CH1 display value.
Turn CH2 CURRENT KNOB [13] clockwise to maximum current output, and then use CH1 CURRENT KNOB [4] to adjust the desired current output value. (Reference to Section 4.2)
Use CH1 VOLTAGE KNOB [6] to adjust the desired voltage output value.
Connect the circuit to the CH1 “+” TERMINAL [22] and CH2“-” TERMINAL [18] to get double voltage output.

4.5. Setting Parallel Tracking Mode

Press both TRACKING MODE SELECTION KEY [14,15] to enable parallel tracking mode. In parallel tracking mode, CH2 output voltage and current value follow the CH1 setting. The output current is double the CH1 display value.
Use CH1 VOLTAGE KNOB [6] to adjust the desired voltage output value.
CH1 CURRENT KNOB [13] adjusts the desired current output value. (Section 4.2)
Connect the circuit to the CH1 TERMINAL [21,22] to get double the current output.
4.5.1 Operating as a Bipolar DC Power Supply
For the bi-polar DC power supply with common ground, connect CH2 + TERMINAL [19] to “GND”} GROUNDING TERMINAL [20]. CH1 “+” TERMINAL [22] now is the negative output. CH2 “+” TERMINAL [19] is in common with the GROUNDING TERMINAL GND the positive output. CH2 “- “ [18] is still the negative output.

4.6. Caution!
5 V output has reliable protection for current-limit and short. The two adjustable outputs have current limit protection. As there is a controlling circuit for regulating the transistor’s power loss in the circuit, when short- circuit occurs, the power loss on large power transistors is not very high, it can’t cause any damage to the unit. But there is still power loss when short- circuit, in order to reduce aging and energy consumption, so this situation should be found as soon as possible and turn off the power, then exclude the faults.
When operating is finished, put it in a dry place of good ventilation, and keep it clean. If it is not in use for a long period, pull off the power supply plug for storage.
For maintenance, the input voltage must be cut off.

Fuse Replacement

Caution:

Ensure that no power is connected to the power supply; otherwise, electrical shock may occur.
Do not apply excessive force on the fuse socket, or it may be damaged.

Disconnect all power connections.
Locate the fuse socket at the rear panel power socket.
Replace the fuse with an identical rating.
Fuse: 115 V = 6 A/250 V 5 x 20 mm; 230 V = 4 A/250 V 5 x 20 mm
Reinstate the fuse socket. (Re-push the fuse socket to the power socket.)
