Description

The QJ3003P QJ3005P is a highly accurate, DC-regulated power supply with an adjustable output. This output can be used for constant voltage (C.V.) and constant current (C.C.).
The output voltage can be adjusted between 0V and 30V when the device is in the constant
voltage mode. The current-limiting point can be set arbitrarily in this mode.
The output current can be adjusted continuously between 0A and 5A in the constant current mode. The output current and voltage are indicated on the LED displays.

Operation

Switching the Power Supply On or Off

1. Connect the included power cord to the back of the device [15] and plug the other end into a suitable, earthed power socket.
   Always connect the device to an earthed power socket.

2. Press the Power button [1] to switch the power supply on.
   At this moment, there is no output voltage or current on the output terminals.

3. Press the Power button [1] to switch the power supply off.

Using the Power Supply in Constant Voltage Mode
If you want to use the power supply in constant voltage mode, you set up the desired output voltage between 0V and 30V. You also set up the desired current limit.
If the output current exceeds the limit, the power supply automatically goes into constant current mode.

Using the Power Supply in Constant Current Mode
If you want to use the power supply in constant current mode: you set up the desired output current between 0A and 3A/5A. You also set up the desired voltage limit.

Setting Voltage and Current
You can save 3 different voltage/current settings using the memory keys M1~M3.

1. Press the Voltage/Current key [5] to set the voltage. The voltage readout flashes.
   For use in constant voltage mode: this is the desired constant voltage.

2. Turn the adjustment knob [11] until you reach approximately the desired voltage. Press [11] to select a digit in the voltage readout [9] and turn the adjustment knob to fine-tune.

3. Press the Voltage/Current key [5] again to set the current. The current readout flashes.
   For use in constant voltage mode: this is the desired current limit.
   For use in constant current mode: this is the desired constant current.
   If you enable overcurrent protection, the output switches off automatically if the current exceeds this value.

4. Turn the adjustment knob [11] until you reach approximately the desired current. Press [11] to select a digit in the current readout [10] and turn the adjustment knob to fine-tune.

5. Press the memory key [3] again (or wait until the display to start flashing). Then press the m1-m3 button The settings are saved in the selected memory.( the display stops flashing)

Recalling Settings
To recall one of the saved settings, press the corresponding memory key M1~M3 [4]. the corresponding voltage/current settings appear on the display.
Note: the output is switched off automatically when you press a memory key to recall a setup.

Using Memory 3
To use memory 3, proceed as follows:

1. Set the voltage and current as desired Press memory key [3],Wait until the display start to flashing. Then Press key [4] the settings are automatically stored in memory, and until the display stops to flashing.
2. To recall the settings, press key 4.

Connecting a Load

1. Connect the load’s positive terminal to the red + terminal [14] of the power supply.
2. Connect the load’s negative terminal to the black – terminal [12] of the power supply.
3. You can connect the + or – terminal to the green earth terminal [13] of the power supply to pin the voltage to 0V (earth potential) at that terminal.
   If you leave the earth terminal unconnected, the output floats with respect to the ground.

Applying Voltage to the Load

1. Press the Off/On key [1] to apply the voltage to the load.
   The OUT [2] and C.V. indicators [8] light. The power supply works in constant voltage (CV) mode; the display now shows the actual output voltage and current.
   If the current exceeds the set current limit, the power supply automatically goes into constant current (CC) mode. The C.V. indicator goes out and the C.C. indicator [7] lights.

2. Press the Off/On key [1] to switch the output off.

Protection

Using Overcurrent Protection

To protect against overcurrent, set up the maximum current and then press the OCP button. Press Off/On to apply the output to the load.
If the output current becomes higher than the set value, the power supply cuts off the output and the OCP indicator flashes.
Disconnect the load. To recover, press the OCP key.

Remote Control via PC

To operate the power supply via the included pc software, proceed as follows:

1. Install the software on your pc and launch the software.

2. Connect the power supply to the pc via the USB [17] port and switch it on.
   Note : the keys on the front panel are locked when the power supply is connected to a pc. You can only operate the power supply via the pc. The LED display and indicators work normally.

3. Click the shortcut icon to launch the software. The opening screen appears.

4. Choose the connected interface number from the drop list and click ENTER to confirm.

The main screen appears.

Cleaning and Maintenance

1. Disconnect the device from the mains prior to maintenance activities.
2. The power supply cables must not show any damage. Have a qualified technician maintain the device.
3. Wipe the device regularly with a moist, lint-free cloth. Do not use alcohol or solvents.
4. There are no user-serviceable parts, apart from the fuse. Contact your dealer for spare parts if necessary.
5. Store the device in a dry, well-ventilated, dust-free room.

Replacing the Fuse
