Cleaning the cabinet
Prior to cleaning the cabinet, withdraw the mains plug from the power outlet. Clean only with a
damp, soft cloth and a commercially available mild household cleanser. Ensure that no water
gets inside the equipment to prevent possible shorts and damage to the equipment.
1.1. Introduction
The models PeakTech
Supplies provide high power output with it small size and lightweight. They are suitable for a
variety of uses, especially for DC operated radio equipment.
Please read through this operation instruction carefully and follow the instructions to prevent
from abuse or misuse. This manual must be kept for reference at anytime in need.
NOTE:
Laboratory Power Supplies are not designed for charging batteries. Any use of this type can
cause serious damage to the device, which are exempt from any legal claims whatever.
Operation with inductive loads
Please note that our power supplies are designed for resistive or capacitive loads.
When using an inductive load, e.g. Electric motors, it may damage the power supply.
The power supply has protective functions against short circuit and overload, but it is not a
protection against inductive reverse voltages, which can be caused by electric motors or
batteries.
2. Features
*
Lightweight and Small Size: Switching mode power supply has the advantages of
lightweight and small size. Comparing with linear mode power with the same power output,
it is much lighter and smaller.
*
High Efficiency: The unit is operated with efficiency over 85 % (P 1565/1570);
87 % (P 1575); 86 % (P 1580); 88% (P 1585) under the best condition.
*
Overload Protection: The constant current limiting protection is adopted to prevent from
overload. The overload indicator will be lighted up when the unit is overloaded.
*
Over Temperature Protection: The over temperature circuitry is functioned when the unit is
over a certain high temperature to prevent the unit from damage by the high temperature.
When the circuitry is functioned, the output voltage and current will drop down to a safety
value.
*
Over Voltage Protection: The over voltage circuitry the unit and the loading equipment
form damage by abnormal high output voltage.
*
High RFI Stability: The high protection circuitry against RFI (Radio Frequency Interference)
provides a stable operation.
*
Variable Voltage Output: The variable range of output voltages enables good fits with
various uses.
