dual LED display for voltage and current coarse and fine adjustments of voltage and current protection mode: voltage or current limiting output connectors: insulated safety plugs organic glass front panel / other panels made of steel memory: 5 programmable memories computer connectivity: pc remote control via USB or RS232 software V2.5 included for Windows XP, Vista and W7, W8, W8.1 (32 bits + 64 bits)

The LABPS3005D is a highly accurate, DC-regulated power supply with an adjustable output. This output can be used for constant voltage (C.V.) and constant current (C.C.). The output voltage can be adjusted between 0V and 30V when the device is in the constant voltage mode. The current-limiting point can be set arbitrarily in this mode. The output current can be adjusted continuously between 0A and 5A in the constant current mode. The output current and voltage are indicated on the LED displays. Refer to the illustrations on page 2 of this manual.

Using the Power Supply in Constant Voltage Mode If you want to use the power supply in constant voltage mode, you set up the desired output voltage between 0V and 30V. You also set up the desired current limit. If the output current exceeds the limit, the power supply automatically goes into constant current mode. Using the Power Supply in Constant Current Mode If you want to use the power supply in constant current mode: you set up the desired output current between 0A and 5A. You also set up the desired voltage limit. Setting Voltage and Current You can save 4 different voltage/current settings using the memory keys M1~M4.

1. Press the memory key [5] of the memory for which you want to define the settings. The

corresponding indicator M1~M4 [13] lights and the existing settings for voltage and current are displayed.

2. Press the Voltage/Current key [16] to set the voltage. The voltage readout flashes.

o For use in constant voltage mode: this is the desired constant voltage. o For use in constant current mode: this is the desired voltage limit. o If you enable overvoltage protection, the output switches off automatically if the voltage exceeds this value.

3. Turn the adjustment knob [14] until you reach approximately the desired voltage. Press < or >

[15] to select a digit in the voltage readout [7] and turn the adjustment knob to fine-tune.

4. Press the Voltage/Current key [16] again to set the current. The current readout flashes.

o For use in constant voltage mode: this is the desired current limit. o For use in constant current mode: this is the desired constant current. o If you enable overcurrent protection, the output switches off automatically if the current exceeds this value.

5. Turn the adjustment knob [14] until you reach approximately the desired current. Press < or >

[15] to select a digit in the current readout [6] and turn the adjustment knob to fine-tune.

6. Press the memory key again (or wait until the display stops flashing).

The settings are saved in the selected memory. Recalling Settings To recall one of the saved settings, press the corresponding memory key M1~M4 [5]. The corresponding indicator M1~M4 [13] lights and the corresponding voltage/current settings appear on the display. Note: the output is switched off automatically when you press a memory key to recall a setup. Using Memory 5 To use memory 5, proceed as follows:

1. Press memory key 4 and turn the adjustment knob until indicator M5 lights.

2. Set the voltage and current as desired. Wait until the display stops flashing. The settings are

automatically stored in memory 5.

3. To recall the settings, press memory key 4 and turn the adjustment knob again until indictor M5

lights. Connecting a Load

1. Connect the load’s positive terminal to the red + terminal [18] of the power supply.

2. Connect the load’s negative terminal to the black – terminal [18] of the power supply.

3. You can connect the + or – terminal to the green earth terminal [17] of the power supply to pin the

voltage to 0V (earth potential) at that terminal. If you leave the earth terminal unconnected, the output floats with respect to the ground. Applying Voltage to the Load

1. Press the Off/On key [1] to apply the voltage to the load.

The OUT [12] and C.V. indicators [11] light. The power supply works in constant voltage (CV) mode; the display now shows the actual output voltage and current. If the current exceeds the set current limit, the power supply automatically goes into constant current (CC) mode. The C.V. indicator goes out and the C.C. indicator [10] lights.

2. Press the Off/On key [1] to switch the output off.LABPS3005D

Locking the Panel To prevent unwanted operation of the panel keys, you can lock the front panel.

1. Press and hold the Lock/Unlock key [4] for about 2 seconds. You hear a short tone. The keys are

2. To unlock the panel, press and hold the button again. You hear a short tone.

Key Tones Each time you press a key on the front panel, you hear a tone.

1. To switch off the tone, press and hold the OCP/Beep key [3] for about 2 seconds.

2. To switch the tone on again, press and hold the OCP/Beep key [3] for about 2 seconds.

1. To protect against overvoltage, set up the maximum voltage and then press the OVP button.

The OVP indicator lights.

2. Press Off/On to apply the output to the load.

If the output voltage becomes higher than the set value, the power supply cuts off the output and the OVP indicator flashes.

3. Disconnect the load.

4. To recover, press the OVP key.

Using Overcurrent Protection

1. To protect against overcurrent, set up the maximum current and then press the OCP button. The

OCP indicator lights.

2. Press Off/On to apply the output to the load.

If the output current becomes higher than the set value, the power supply cuts off the output and the OCP indicator flashes.

3. Disconnect the load.

Nothing happens when you press the panel keys. The keys are locked. Press and hold the Lock/Unlock key [4] about 2 seconds. You hear a tone when they keys are unlocked. Power is on and output is switched on, but there is no output. The load is not properly connected, or the current setup is 0. The output voltage rises slowly when the output is switched on. The current setup is too small.

10. Remote Control via PC

To operate the power supply via the included pc software, proceed as follows:

1. Install the software on your pc and launch the software.

2. Connect the power supply to the pc via the USB [21] or RS232 [20] port and switch it on.

The power supply connects automatically to the software. When connection is successful, you hear a tone. On the pc, the communication status is indicated. Note: the keys on the front panel are locked when the power supply is connected to a pc. You can only operate the power supply via the pc. The LED display and indicators work normally.

3. Click the shortcut icon to launch the software. The opening screen appears.

4. Choose the connected interface number from the drop list and click ENTER to confirm.LABPS3005D
