8. Commissioning and Operation

a) Connection and Operation

• Place the lab mains adapter on a firm and level surface.
• The on/off switch must be in the "OFF" position initially.
• Plug the low-power device plug of the included mains cable into connection (16) on the rear of the device and the mains plug in a mains socket with 230 V/50 Hz alternating current.
• Switch on the lab mains adapter by pressing the on/off switch (10) ("ON" position).
• The two LED displays (1 and 2) light up and display the currently set current and voltage values.
• Depending on the position of the rotary control "CURRENT" (11) for output current limitation, either the LED display "CV" (12) for output voltage control or the LED display "CC" (13) for output current control are lit.
• The lab mains adapter is now ready for setting the output voltage and current limitation.

b) Setting the Output Voltage

For the correct output voltage to be set, the lab mains adapter output must be operated in voltage-controlled condition.

• Turn the rotary control “CURRENT” (11) for output current limitation clockwise from the left stop until the red LED “CC” (13) for current limitation goes out and the green LED “CV” (12) for voltage control lights up.
• Check the rotary control "FINE" (6) for fine voltage adjustment. This control should be in the centre position.
• Then set the desired output voltage approximately with the rotary control "VOLTAGE" (5). The currently set voltage is displayed by the LED "V" (2). If the control is turned clockwise, the voltage increases. If the control is turned counter-clockwise, the voltage decreases.
• Then precise settings are performed with the rotary control "FINE" (6).

If the rotary control "FINE" (6) has to be turned to the stop, return it to the centre position and adjust the voltage value with the rotary control "VOLTAGE" (5) before returning to fine adjustment.

Attention!

The set voltage is only put on the output sockets when the pushbutton (4) for activation/deactivation of the output sockets is pressed. In this case, the LED display (3) also lights up for the active output sockets.

c) Adjusting the Current Limitation

First set the permissible operating voltage for the consumer to be operated using the two voltage controls "VOLTAGE" (5) and "FINE" (6) (see chapter 8. b).

The set voltage must not be put on the output sockets and the LED display (3) for active output sockets must not be lit.

If the LED display (3) is lit, press the pushbutton (4) for activation/deactivation of the output sockets so that the voltage at the output sockets is switched off and the LED display (3) goes out.

• Then set the desired maximum current with the rotary control “CURRENT” (11) for output current limitation. The currently set current value is displayed by the LED “A” (1).
• If the control is turned clockwise, the current increases. If the control is turned counter-clockwise, the current decreases.
• When the desired maximum current is set, switch off the lab mains adapter using the on/off switch ("OFF" position).

When both rotary controls for setting the voltage (5 and 6) are turned to the left stop, the voltage display indicates 00.0 Volt.

If the rotary control "CURRENT" (11) for current limitation is then moved to the left stop, the lab mains adapters switches into current-controlled condition and the voltage display indicates a minimum value.

This is due to the circuit and not an error of the lab mains adapter.

d) Connecting Consumers

First ensure that the total power of all consumers together does not exceed the maximum output of the lab mains adapter.

• The consumers should always be switched off when they are connected to the lab mains adapter. Otherwise, there may be sparks that may damage both the output sockets and the plugs.
• Switch on the lab mains adapter.
• Set the required operating voltage for the respective consumers.
• Set the current limitation to the required value.
• Connect the plus connection (+) of the consumer to the plus output socket (7) of the lab mains adapter and the minus connection (-) of the consumer to the minus output socket (9) of the lab mains adapter. Use sufficiently large cables with 4mm banana plugs or use standardised lab cables.
• Earth the consumers using the intended earthing connection (8) of the lab mains adapter.
• Press the pushbutton (4) for activation/deactivation of the output sockets so that the voltage for the output sockets is cleared and the LED display (3) lights up.

Once voltage is cleared for the output sockets and the consumer is switched on, the current values for current and voltage are displayed in the LED displays (1 and 2).

Depending on operating condition of the lab mains adapter (current- or voltage-controlled), the red LED display "CC" (13) for current limitation or the green LED "CV" (12) for voltage control is lit.

If required, you can also readjust the current limitation or voltage control value with the output sockets cleared.

To switch off voltage at the output sockets again, press the pushbutton (4) for activation/deactivation of the output sockets again, so that LED display (3) goes out.

Attention!

The lab mains adapter has a protective switch that limits current in case of short circuit. TO prevent the lab mains adapter from overheating, always switch it off right away and disconnect the consumers. Let the lab mains adapter cool off and ensure unhindered air circulation. The cooling fins (14) should be clean and dust-free, and the casing openings must not be covered.

The maximum uninterrupted operating time of the lab mains adapter is 8 hours. Then turn off the lab mains adapter and let it cool down to ambience temperature.

9. Cleaning and Maintenance

a) General Care

Always switch off the lab mains adapter before cleaning. Clean the exterior of the lab mains adapter with a soft, dry cloth or brush only. Never use any aggressive cleaning agents or chemical solutions. They may damage the casing surface.

b) Fuse Replacement

Attention!

Switch off the lab mains adapter first and remove all connection cables from the lab mains adapter. Unplug the lab mains adapter's mains plug from the mains socket.

Use a suitable flat screwdriver to push the rear fuse holder (15) in slightly, and open the bayonet lock with a quarter turn counter-clockwise.

Replace the defective fuse with a new fine-wire fuse of the same type and the same rated current (see chapter "Technical Data").

Replace the fuse holder, press it in slightly and tighten it again with a screw driver by turning it clockwise. Then check the lab mains adapter for correct function.

10. Functional Problems

The lab mains adapter does not work, the displays are not lit.

• Check the on/off switch.
• Check that the low-power connection plug is connected to the mains socket (16) at the rear of the device correctly.
• Check the functional safety of the mains connection (mains sockets, fuses, circuit breakers, etc.).
• Verify that the correct mains voltage is applied.

The connected consumers do not work.

• Connect the polarity of the connection sockets (7 and 9).
• Check if current limitation is active.
• Reduce load placed on the lab mains adapter by the consumers.
• Check the technical data of the consumers.
