The side panels feature ventilation grilles for heat dissipation. The rear panel typically includes the AC power input socket, a cooling fan, and potentially additional communication ports (not explicitly shown in provided images but common for such devices).
3. Podešavanje
3.1 Raspakivanje i pregled
Carefully remove the power supply from its packaging. Inspect the unit for any signs of physical damage. Retain the packaging for future transport or storage.
3.2 Priključak za napajanje
- Ensure the main power switch on the front panel is in the OFF position.
- Connect the provided AC power cord to the power input socket on the rear panel of the power supply.
- Plug the other end of the AC power cord into a suitable grounded electrical outlet.
3.3 Output Terminal Connection
Connect your load to the output terminals using appropriate test leads. Ensure correct polarity:
- Connect the positive (+) terminal of the power supply to the positive input of your load.
- Connect the negative (-) terminal of the power supply to the negative input of your load.
- The GND terminal is for chassis ground and should be connected to the load's ground if required for safety or noise reduction.
Caution: Do not short-circuit the output terminals for extended periods, even with protection enabled.
4. Uputstvo za upotrebu
4.1 Uključivanje/isključivanje napajanja
- Pritisnite glavni POWER ON/OFF switch on the front panel to turn the unit on. The displays will illuminate.
- Za isključivanje pritisnite POWER ON/OFF ponovo prebacite.
4.2 Podešavanje Voltage i struja
- Pritisnite V-SET dugme za unos glastage setting mode. The voltage display will flash.
- Koristite ADJUST knob to change the voltage value. Turn clockwise to increase, counter-clockwise to decrease.
- Koristite LIJEVO i PRAVO buttons to select the digit you wish to adjust for finer control.
- Pritisnite V-SET again to confirm the setting or wait a few seconds for it to auto-confirm.
- Repeat steps 1-4 for current setting using the I-SET dugme.
4.3 Kontrola izlaza
Nakon podešavanja željene jačine zvukatage and current, press the ON / OFF button (typically green) to enable or disable the output. When the output is ON, the corresponding indicator will light up, and power will be supplied to the load. When OFF, no power is supplied.
