Front Panel
- Power button
- CC (constant current) indicator: This indicator is on during constant current operation.
- CV (constant voltage) indicator: This indicator is on during constant voltage operation.
- Voltage display
- Current display
- Voltage coarse adjustment knob: Turn it clockwise to increase the output voltage and turn it counterclockwise to decrease the output voltage.
- Voltage fine adjustment knob: Turn it clockwise to increase the output voltage and turn it counterclockwise to decrease the output voltage. FINE and COARSE can be used together to adjust the output voltage to the exact value required.
- Current coarse adjustment knob: Turn it clockwise to increase the output current and turn it counterclockwise to decrease the output current.
- Current fine adjustment knob: Turn it clockwise to increase the output current and turn it counterclockwise to decrease the output current. FINE and COARSE can be used together to adjust the output current to the exact value required.
- 0~30V output terminal “-“pole (black).
- Ground terminal (GND, green): This terminal is connected to the chassis and the ground wire of the power cord.
- 0~30V output terminal “+”pole (red).
Note:
A temperature recovery fuse is installed inside the transformer of the
product, when the internal temperature of the transformer exceeds 130 degrees,
the temperature recovery fuse is automatically disconnected, and the
transformer is powered off; when the temperature drops below 130 degrees, the
temperature recovery fuse is automatically connected, and the transformer
starts to supply power.

- Power supply input
- Fuse holder
Operation and Protective Measures
- Switch the POWER to the off state and connect the power cord attached to the power supply. Connect the L terminal of the power cord plug to the live wire of the power socket. The ground wire of the power cord should be ensured a good connection to the ground.
- The PS303/PS305 is a floating type power supply. If grounding is required in use, connect the 0~30V output terminals “+”pole or “-“pole on the front panel to the GND with a wire.
- To ensure good ventilation, keep a gap of 10cm between the upside/downside/left side/right side and other objects. Do not expose this device to dusty environment, corrosive gases and other harmful substances.
- Constant voltage output: Switch the POWER switch to the on state. The CV indicator will be on and the power supply will be under constant voltage operation. Adjust VOLTAGE knobs (C0ARSE and FINE) to obtain desired output voltage.
- Constant current output: When no load is present, adjust the output voltage within 2~ 5V and counterclockwise turn the CURRENT knobs (COARSE and FINE) to “0” position. Use a wire size not less than 0.5mm2 to short-circuit the 0~30V output terminals “+” pole and “-” pole. At this time, the CC indicator will be on. Adjust the CURRENT knobs to reach the desirable current and disconnect the short-circuited wire.
- In order to match the specifications, the power supply should be used after warming up for 15 minutes.

Please follow the steps below before booting.
-
Check the input power
Make sure that the AC power cord meets the requirements in the AC input power column above (NOTE: Maximum input voltage 250V). -
Check the AC selector
Make sure that the settings of the AC selector on the rear panel of the device match the actual AC input power (please refer to the form above). -
Check the fuse
Check to see if the fuse specifications match the fuse required for the input voltage (please refer to the form above).
Maintenance
- If the supply voltage is normal and the CC and CV indicators are not on or the digits are not displayed after starting up, the fuse may be blown or there may be other malfunctions. Turn off the power switch and unplug the power cord, then replace the fuse or seek professional advice.
- At constant voltage state, if the output voltage is less than the preset value and the CC indicator is on (current protection), the device will automatically switch to the constant current working state. Users should check the load or increase the maximum current as required (adjust the CURRENT knobs clockwise).
- At constant current state, if the output current is less than the preset value and the CV indicator is on (open circuit voltage protection), the device will automatically switch to the constant voltage working state. Users should check the load or increase the maximum voltage as required (adjust the VOLTAGE knobs clockwise).
- At constant voltage state, if the device is unstable, the AC supply voltage may be lower than 99V/198V. If any malfunction is serious and cannot be resolved, please contact your local dealer.
