Frequently Asked Questions - 1570 PeakTech

How to adjust the output voltage on the PeakTech 1570?

Turn the voltage adjustment knob (VOLTAGE) on the front panel. Press the button to toggle between coarse and fine adjustment (the display brightness changes). After a few seconds, the value is confirmed.

What does the Rear Control indicator mean?

The Rear Control indicator lights up when the rear mode selector is set to Preset, Remote Control or Set. In these modes, the front buttons are disabled.

How to use the Preset presets (P1, P2, P3)?

Set the mode selector to Preset. Turn the RECALL selector to choose P1 (5V), P2 (13.8V) or P3 (16V for 1570). To customize, switch to Set mode, adjust voltage and current, then return to Preset.

What to do if the display shows OVP?

OVP means overvoltage protection. Turn off the device, disconnect any load, then turn it back on. If the problem persists, contact a specialized dealer.

How to clean the PeakTech 1570 power supply?

First disconnect the device. Use a lint-free damp cloth with a mild detergent. Avoid liquid entering the interior. Do not use abrasive products.

Can I charge a battery with this power supply?

No, laboratory power supplies are not designed to charge batteries. This could seriously damage the device and void the warranty.

How to use remote control?

Set the mode selector to Remote Control. Use an external voltage source 0-5V (pins 2 and 4) or a 5 kOhm potentiometer (pins 1,2,4) to control voltage and current. Consult the pinout diagram in the manual.

What to do in case of overheating (OTP)?

The display shows OTP. Turn off the device, remove the load, let it cool for at least 30 minutes. Check that the ventilation slots are not blocked. If the fan does not make noise on restart, contact a dealer.

How to install the USB software?

Insert the provided CD-ROM and install the Silicon Lab CP210x driver (subfolder 'USB CP210x Drivers'). Connect the USB, then launch the program. You can then program voltage, current, cycles and monitor data.

What is the difference between the AUX and main outputs?

The AUX output (front panel) supports up to 5 A. The main output (rear) supports up to 60 A for the 1570. For loads over 5 A, use the main output.

9.5. Remote Control Mode (P 1570 / 1580)

There are two methods for remote control of current and voltage adjustment. Both methods require current remote control part to be set up in order for remote control mode to be functional, otherwise unit will be in CC mode all the time.

Method A:

Using two external variable DC voltage sources.

Method B:

1	Internal DC +5V	Less than 50mA
2	Voltage Adjust	0 ~ 5 V
3	Current Adjust	0 ~5 V
4	Ground
5	Output OFF	Short to Ground

11. Faults and Trouble Shooting

11.1. OVP: Over Voltage Protection

This unit has a built-in tracking over voltage protection feature. In the event of output voltage becoming greater than the set value (see specified range from specifications table), protection will be triggered and the output power will be cut off and OUP warning appears as below.

To reset the warning, switch off the unit and remove all loading.
Switch the unit back on again and it should resume normal operation.
If this problem persists, please contact and consult with your agent.

11.2. OTP: Over Temperature Protection

There is a thermo sensor inside the unit to monitor and to prevent the unit to gets too hot inside. At OTP, there is no output and the following warning will appear on the LED display. When you get this warning, switch off the unit and remove all loading.

Check your load and output setting. Allow the unit to cool down for at least 30 minutes.

Check if any of the ventilation is blocked, check enough clearance around power supply.

Listen carefully for the short wind noise from the cooling fan when you turn on the unit again.

If you cannot hear this routine self test wind noise on switch on, the fan is fault and do not use the power supply, contact your agent.

11.3. OLP: Over Load Protection

Normally the overload protection is sustained by the CC constant current mode.

When the CC mode fails and goes undetected, it may cause serious damage to your test piece or load.

The OLP is to minimize the extent of damage to your loads as power supplies do fail some day.

Switch off your power supply as soon as you see this warning as shown below.

To reset this warning, switch off the unit and remove all loading.

Switch the unit back on again and double check with caution.

If this problem cannot be fixed, please contact and consult with your agent.

12. PC Interface Control

Support OS: Windows XP/Vista/7 (32bits/64bits)

Driver: Silicon Lab CP210x USB driver

(Included in CDROM folder "USB CP210x Drivers V6.5 for Win_XP_S2K3_Vista_7")

12.1. Main Display

The Main interface divided into 7 panels.

2	20.0	0.00	0:00:00	✓
3	0.0	0.00	0:00:00	✓

-Set time for this step to be running. The time range is between 0 to 9 hours 59 minutes 59 seconds. You can click up/down button to change value or directly input value. If the time value is set to 0, this step will be skipped.

-Select running cycle between 0-999. You can use slide bar to select or directly input value in text box. Input 0 means run the program forever.

Running Cycle:

• Click on button to start running cycle.
• In between program running cycle, click button to stop program.

Clear Table

• Click to clear the setting.

12.5. Internal Preset Memory

The PC interface remote mode really eliminates the tedious process in keying in groups of entries on the power supply. Because all the data are displayed together in the monitor, possibility of wrong entry is greatly reduced. Data of different groups can be classified, stored, exported and retrieved for use at any time.

Furthermore, retrieved data will be in red color if they exceed the present preset limits of voltage in upper voltage level or current limiting value.

Clear Table ---- Delete all data on the Display Table to ready for new data entry.

Read for PS ---- Get data from the Power Supply.
