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), 2011/65/EU (RoHS).
To ensure 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 whatever.

  • Prior to connection of 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 earth connection.
  • Do not practice device unattended.
  • The instrument must be set up so that the power plug can be removed from the socket easily.
  • do not place the equipment on damp or wet surfaces.
  • do not subject the equipment to direct sunlight or extreme temperatures.
  • do not subject the equipment to extreme humidity or dampness
  • replace a defective fuse only with a fuse of the original rating. Never short circuit fuse or fuse housing
  • do not exceed the maximum permissible input rating.
  • conduct measuring works only in dry clothing and in rubber shoes, i. e. on isolating mats.
  • comply with the warning labels and other info on the equipment
  • do not cover the ventilation slots of the cabinet to ensure that 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)
  • do not operate the equipment near strong magnetic fields (motors, transformer etc.)
  • do not subject the equipment to shocks or strong vibrations
  • keep hot soldering iron or guns away from the equipment
  • allow the equipment to stabilize at room temperature before taking up measurement (important for exact measurements)
  • do not modify the equipment in any way
  • do not place the equipment face-down on any table or work bench to prevent damaging the controls at the front.
  • Do not operate the meter before the cabinet has been closed and screwed safely as terminal can carry voltage.
  • 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 store the meter in a place of explosive, inflammable substance.
  • Opening the equipment and any service- and repair work must be performed by qualified service personal. Repair work should be performed in the presence of a second  person trained to administer first aid, if needed.
  • – Measuring instruments do not belong to children 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

Digitally controlled, high-precision DC power supply with variable voltage and Current setting. An advanced microprocessor controls the generation, display, control and protection of voltage, current.
This technology improves the accuracy of the generation and control, it also facilitates the operation and the reading of the values.
Henceforth should be emphasized that the voltage can be fixed over the whole range, making the convenience is increasing and unnecessary, inaccurate, steps can be  prevented.
Caution!
The PeakTech 6070 provides a keylock function. Please read chapter 5.3 on page 15 for more detailed information.
Caution!
Laboratory Power Supplies are not designed for charging batteries. Any use of this type can cause serious damage to the device, which are exempt from any legal claims whatever.

Operation

5.1. Adjusting the output voltage
Direct entry
Proceed as described to adjust the output voltage:

  1. Switch on the device.
  2. Press the [V] key. The LED display indicates 00.00 and the first digit flashes.
  3. Press the appropriate number keys to enter the desired voltage value.
  4. If an incorrect entry be carried out, use the [Del] key (Correction key), the previous entry is rejected and you can repeat your entry.
  5.  Pressing the [Enter] button will confirm and save the entry.

Example 1:
Setting 5.99V

  1. Press the [V]-key.
  2. Sequentially, press the number keys [0][5][9][9] and then [ENTER] to save the entry or …
  3. Press the [V]-key and then sequentially the number keys [5] [.] [9] [9] and then press the [ENTER] key to confirm and save the entry.
