4.Button/Potentiometer/LED introduction:
1>.Long press means need keep press for more than 3second.
2>.ON/OFF:Short Press to select whether output.Long press is
used to restore default settings.
3>.IN/OUT:Short Press to switch display input voltage or output
voltage.Long press is used to switch display output current or output
power.
4>.CV Potentiometer:Adjust output voltage.Increase the output
voltage when rotating clockwise.
5>.CC Potentiometer:Adjust output current.Increase the output
current when rotating clockwise.
6>.OUT LED:Green LED,Output indicator.It will turn ON when
there is a output at output terminal.
7>.CC LED:Red LED,Constant current output indicator.It enters
the constant current state when the load current reaches the set
current and CC constant current indicator turns ON.

5.Using Steps:
1>.As a ordinary step down power module:
1.1>.Connect right input voltage at input terminal;
1.2>.Adjust CV constant voltage potentiometer to set output
voltage according to require.
1.3>.Rotate CC potentiometer counterclockwise more than
10 turns at first.
1.4>.Test Output short circuit current by multimeter at 10A
or 20A(Connect two Test Probes to output terminal on module)
1.5>.Rotate CC constant current potentiometer clockwise to
set output current according to require overcurrent protection value.
1.6>.Test and using(E.g:Module’s maximum output current
is 2A if display 2A on multimeter.Red LED indicator will turn on if
output reach to 2A.Otherwise LED is OFF.)
2>.As a charger:
2.1>.Tops:Power module can not be used as charger module
if it does not support constant current function.The voltage difference
between the battery with insufficient voltage and the charger is very
large.Causes excessive charging current even damage the battery.So it
need keep charging in constant current mode to reaching a certain
level.Then automatically switch back to constant voltage charging.
2.2>.Make sure floating charge voltage and charge current

for battery.If the lithium battery’s parameter is 3.7V/2200mAh, then
the float charge voltage is 4.2V, and the maximum charging current is
1C, which is 2200mA.
2.3>.Connect right input voltage at input
terminal.(Note:Please don’t connect load during set parameter).
2.4>.Test output voltage by multimeter and adjust CC
potentiometer to make sure output voltage reach to require floating
charge voltage.(If charge a 3.7V lithium battery, adjust the output
voltage to 4.2V)
2.5>.Rotate CC potentiometer counterclockwise more than
10 turns at first.
2.6>.Test Output short circuit current by multimeter at 10A
or 20A(Connect two Test Probes to output terminal on module)
2.7>.Rotate CC constant current potentiometer clockwise to
set output current according to require charge current value.
2.8>.Connect battery at output terminal and start to
charging.
3>.As a high power LED constant current driver:
3.1>.Make sure LED working current and maximum
working voltage.
3.2>.Connect right input voltage at input
terminal.(Note:Please don’t connect load during set parameter).

6
3.3>.Test output voltage by multimeter at output terminal
and adjust CV potentiometer to set output voltage to LED’s maximum
working voltage.
3.4>.Rotate CC potentiometer counterclockwise more than
10 turns.
3.5>.Test Output short circuit current by multimeter at 10A
or 20A(Connect two Test Probes to output terminal on module)
3.6>.Rotate CC constant current potentiometer clockwise to
set output current according to require LED working current.
3.7>.Connect LED and test.
6.Note:
1>.Default output voltage and current is about 18V 7A.
2>.It is a step down power supply module,So the output voltage
must be lower than input voltage.Otherwise it will not working
normally.
3>.Please rotate the CV potentiometer counterclockwise more
than 20 turns if there is no output voltage.
4>.It is a DC power module,So it can not connect to AC power.
5>.Please don’t short output because 7A by default.Please set
down output voltage less than 10V and rotate CC potentiometer
counterclockwise more than 10 turns.And then short output to adjust
output current.

7
6>.Input voltage must be 0.8V higher than output voltage.
7>.Please connect input before connect battery when use as
charge and make sure output voltage is higher than battery voltage.It
is recommended to serial a anti-backflow diode at input positive
terminal.
8>.’IN-’ and ‘OUT-’ can not be connect together,otherwise module
can not support constant current output.
9>.Please make sure input power is more than load power.
10>.Please step down output power if module is hot.
11>.Please read use manual and description before use.
