2. INTENDED USE

The laboratory power unit serves as a potential-free DC voltage source to operate low-voltage consumers. The adjustable output can be tapped with up to 5 A at the front and up to the full nominal current at the back. The front output is limited to 5 A and protected against overload. When switching the outputs of several power supplies in series, voltages of >75 V/DC, which are dangerous to touch, may be generated. This is why insulated lines/measuring cables must be used for safety reasons for voltages above this. Connection on the front is performed with 4 mm safety sockets, on the back with high-current socket screw connectors. The outputs (front and back) are connected to each other.

VOLTCRAFT DPPS1630 - INTENDED USE - 1

The connection cables used must be large enough. Where the conductor section is too small, overheating and fire may result.

The output data of the laboratory measuring devices is as follows:

Type Output voltage Output current(Total, MAIN + AUX)
DPPS-16-30 1 – 16 V/DC 0 – 30A
DPPS-32-15 1 – 32 V/DC 0 – 15A
DPPS-60-8 1 – 60 V/DC 0 – 8 A
DPPS-16-40 1 – 16 V/DC 0 – 40A
DPPS-32-20 1 – 32 V/DC 0 – 20A
DPPS-60-10 1 – 60 V/DC 0 – 10A
DPPS-16-60 1 – 16 V/DC 0 – 60A
DPPS-32-30 1 – 32 V/DC 0 – 30A
DPPS-60-15 1 – 60 V/DC 0 – 15A

Current and voltage can be set continually through digital rotary controls using coarse and fine settings in order to allow fast and precise value settings. The values are displayed on the structured LC display. A power limit for constant power operation can be pre-set without a shorting bar.

The power unit can be remote-controlled. An external voltage (0 - 5 V/DC) or external potentiometer (5 kOhm) can be used to set the output voltage and output current. The DC output is turned on and off via the a switching contact.

Three freely programmable memory slots can be assigned to different fixed voltages and current limitations. The selection switch is located at the back of the device.

With the software included and the USB connection, the power supply can be controlled by a personal computer for running cyclical operations. Up to 20 programmable sets of voltage and current at different time durations can be programmed into the operation and the cyclical operations can be repeated up to 999 times.

The device is overload- and short-circuit-proof and contains a safety temperature cut-off. The laboratory power unit is designed in compliance with protection class 1. It is only approved for connection to shockproof sockets with protective grounding and an alternating current of 230 V/AC commonly used in households.

Unauthorised conversion and/or modification of the device are inadmissible because of safety and approval reasons (CE). Any usage other than described above is not permitted and can damage the product and lead to associated risks such as short-circuit, fire, electric shock, etc. Please read the operating instructions thoroughly and keep them for further reference.

7. START-UP

VOLTCRAFT DPPS1630 - START-UP - 1

The laboratory power unit is not a charger. To charge batteries, use suitable chargers with a charging current cut-off.

During a longer period of operation under nominal load, the surface of the housing will heat up. Attention! Risk of burns! Therefore, make sure that there is adequate ventilation of the power unit and never operate it partly or fully covered to avoid any damage.

When connecting a consumer, ensure that it is not connected when switched on.

A switched-on consumer can result in sparks when connecting to the output terminals of the power unit, which in turn can damage the sockets or the connected cables and/or their clamps.

If your power unit is not required, switch it off and disconnect it from the mains.

The displays remain on for a few seconds after it is switched off to unload the internal capacitors and to store the last parameters that were set.

Always ensure a sufficient conductor cross-section for the DC connection lines, since overload may cause fire in the line.

a) Connecting the power cable

  1. Connect the supplied grounding mains cable to the power input (12) on the power unit. Ensure a tight fit.
  2. Connect the power cable to a shockproof mains socket with protective grounding. The maximum length of the power cable to the outlet must not exceed 2 m.

b) Unit installation

Place the laboratory power unit on a stable, level and robust surface. Make sure that ventilation slots in the casing are not covered up.

c) General informations

The laboratory power unit is micro-processor-controlled and is operated through two digital controls (incremental encoders without end position) with sensor function. This enables fine and coarse control via a control.

After the device switches on, a system check is performed. The test status is displayed on the two displays. The displays are in the following order:

→ Set the current limitation before setting any voltages. If the current value is too high, your connection lines can be damaged; if it is too low (<1 A), the output voltage can be limited.

a) Set current limitation

Limiting the output current is a protection mechanism to protect the consumer or connection cables. Current limitation can be pre-set at the output without any short circuit. The power unit then supplies the maximum current set.

  1. Remove any connected consumers from the power unit.
  2. Switch on the power unit at the On/Off switch POWER (5). The display (1) lights up, and after a short self test, the current and voltage displays appear.
  3. Set the current limitation at the control knob CURRENT (4) according to your application.
  4. Turn the control and a current limitation value appears.

VOLTCRAFT DPPS1630 - a) Set current limitation - 1

Where no setting is made within 2 seconds, the display switches back to the current current display.

  1. Turn the control to the left or right to set the current limitation. After switching on, the fine settings area (0.1 A) is always active. This is indicated by a slightly lighter digit. Press the rotary control slightly from the front. The decimal position (1.0 or 0.1) of the setting range changes each time you press. Turning changes the value.
  2. Settings can be made coarsely (whole numbers) or fine (by tenths).
  3. Where the desired current value was set, the display switches back to normal display after 2 seconds.

VOLTCRAFT DPPS1630 - Where no setting is made within 2 seconds, the display switches back to the current current display. - 1

If the preset current is reached in normal operation, the power unit switches to current limitation mode and reduces the voltage value. This operation is signalled with the red status display C.C. (1).

b) Set output voltage

The output voltage can be set at the control knob VOLTAGE (3) control. The coarse and fine control is performed in the same way as for setting the current limitation.

VOLTCRAFT DPPS1630 - b) Set output voltage - 1

With the large control range, it is possible that the voltage setting takes approx. 1-2 seconds to switch from a high to a low voltage value.

VOLTCRAFT DPPS1630 - b) Set output voltage - 2

In normal mode the device operates in constant voltage mode. This means that the power unit emits a constant, preset output voltage. This operation is indicated with a green status LED C.V. (1).

c) Connecting a load

VOLTCRAFT DPPS1630 - c) Connecting a load - 1

When connecting a consumer, make sure that it is connected to the power unit when switched off. The maximum current consumption of the device to be connected must not exceed the capacity indicated in the technical specifications.

For serial connection of the outputs with several power supplies, the resulting voltages can be fatal on contact (> 75 V/DC). As of this voltage, you may only use insulated accessories.

Avoid the use of non-insulated metallic cables and contacts. All these exposed areas must be covered with suitable, flame-resistant insulation materials or by other measures and be protected from direct contact and short circuits.

Ensure a sufficient cable diameter for the intended current.

The power unit has two outputs. These outputs always have the same output voltage. The difference, however, is in the current carrying capacity.

VOLTCRAFT DPPS1630 - c) Connecting a load - 2

Max. 5 A shall be tapped at the terminals AUX. OUTPUT 5A MAX. (6).

A PTC overcurrent protection protects those terminals against overloading and interrupts the current supply when triggered (>5 A). To reset the unit, immediately turn it off and let it cool down to room temperature before using it again.

The terminals MAIN OUTPUT (screw sockets) (7) on the back are indicated for full nominal current. From an output current of 5 A, the screw clamp function of the rear sockets is recommended to avoid overheating of the plug sockets.

  1. Remove any connected consumers from the output.
  2. Switch on the power unit at the On/Off switch POWER (5). The operating display (1) lights up and the current and voltage display appears on the display.
  3. Set the parameters according to your specifications as described in the chapter "Start-Up".
  4. Check once more that the correct output voltage is set.
  5. Connect the plus pole (+) of the consumer with the red socket “+” and the minus pole (-) of the consumer with the black socket “-” of the respective output (front = AUX. OUTPUT 5A MAX. (6), rear = MAIN OUTPUT (7)).
