Start-Up

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 hou-
sing 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 cover-
ed 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 ter-
minals 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 capacitators 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.

Connecting the Power Cable

Connect the supplied grounding mains cable to the low-power device installation socket (18) on the
power unit. Ensure a tight fit.
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 3 m.

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.
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 dis-
plays. The displays are in the following order:
