4. Caratteristiche del prodotto

• Automatic Power Calculation: Unlike other DC power supplies, the WANPTEK DPS305U automatically calculates the power value. It simultaneously displays voltage, current, and power values with a precision of 0.01V, 0.001A, and 0.001W.
• 5V / 3.6A USB Interface: Equipped with a high-speed charging protocol identification chip, this variable power supply supports USB fast charging. It provides a 5V / 3.6A output, allowing for quick charging of mobile phones and other devices, or for powering devices under repair.
• Allarme cortocircuito: Designed to enhance safety and extend the lifespan of the DC power supply. When a short circuit occurs, the adjustable DC power supply unit stops output and emits an alarm. The bench power supply includes safety protections such as over-voltage, over-current, over-temperature, and overload protection.
• Ampia applicazione: This adjustable power supply features an electrically controlled fan and an excellent heat sink for efficient heat dissipation. It is particularly suitable for laboratories, electronic repair DIY, communication equipment maintenance, product lines, scientific research, and educational units.
• Alta precisione: The power supply boasts a high resolution of 0.01V and 0.001A, ensuring accurate and stable output.

7. Istruzioni per l'uso

7.1 Funzionamento di base

1. Accensione: Flip the Power On/Off switch to the "ON" position. The display will light up.
2. Regolazione Voltage (Costante Voltage Mode - CV):
   • Turn the V-COARSE knob clockwise to set the approximate desired voltage.
   • Use the V-FINE knob to precisely adjust the voltage to the exact desired value.
   • The "C.V" indicator on the display will light up when the unit is operating in Constant Voltage modalità.
3. Adjusting Current Limit (Constant Current Mode - CC):
   • To set the current limit, first short-circuit the output terminals (connect the red and black alligator clips together). The "C.C" indicator will light up.
   • Turn the A-COARSE knob clockwise to set the approximate desired current limit.
   • Use the A-FINE knob to precisely adjust the current limit.
   • Remove the short circuit from the output terminals. The unit will return to Constant Voltage mode if no load is connected or if the load draws less current than the set limit.
   • The "C.C" indicator will light up when the unit is operating in Constant Current mode (i.e., the load is drawing the maximum set current).
4. Collegamento del carico: Dopo aver impostato il volume desideratotage and current limits, connect your device or circuit to the output terminals. Ensure correct polarity.
5. Monitoraggio: Observe the display for real-time voltagletture di corrente, potenza e corrente.
