How to use

Connect the power supply to a mains outlet using the supplied mains lead, then connect the device under test to the output terminals observing correct polarity. Use the voltage control to set the required output voltage and the current limit control to set the maximum allowed current. Monitor the output values on the digital display and, if required, connect the USB port to a computer for remote monitoring or control according to the manufacturer software instructions. When finished, reduce the output voltage and switch the unit off before disconnecting the load.

Recommendations

For accurate measurements and safe operation, set the current limit slightly above the expected operating current of the device under test and verify connections before powering. Avoid prolonged operation at the maximum rated current without adequate cooling and allow ventilation space around the unit. Use the USB interface only with trusted computers and follow the software user guide for proper remote control procedures.
