I. Introduction
This unit is a Micro-Processor controlled DC linear Power Supply with a total 90W
output power with adjustable constant current function.
There are 3 user defined presets of voltage and current recall, and 3 programmable
timed presets for cyclical application. An adjustable main output and two Aux snap
on outputs of 5V and 12V.

III. Safety Precautions
1. Do not place anything on the top of unit.
2. Allow at least 50 mm free space on both side of unit for cooling.
3. Do not place the unit in high humid and dusty environment.
4. Do not use the unit for the equipment that requires higher current ratings than
the unit is designed for, otherwise damage could occur to the unit.
5. Do not replace the fuse before ceasing the problems, use same fuse rating.
6. Never touch the power supply when your hand is wet.
7. Never remove the metal cover without unplugging of AC mains.
8. Never operate a damaged unit.

IV. Connection and Operation
1. Check the input rating conforms with your local supply.
2. Turn OFF the unit and the equipment.
3. Connect the equipment to the unit. Positive polarity to Red (+) and negative
polarity to Black (-).
4. Turn ON the unit first and then Turn ON the equipment.
5. When an operation is finished, turn OFF the equipment first and then turn OFF
the unit.

V. Instruction For User Preset And Cycle Operation
Setting the 3 Presets
The 3 Presets must be set in the order of Preset 1 →Preset 2 →Preset 3.
To initiate the setting mode for the Presets, first press Voltage Knob then quickly
press the Current Knob.
1. Press the Voltage Knob and then press the Current Knob. Icon “1” is flashing
to show ready for setting.
2. Adjust Voltage Knob for voltage value and Current Knob for current value.
3. When Icon “1” is flashing still, press the Voltage Knob then the current Knobs
to confirm Preset 1 new settings and Icon “2” will start flashing to indicate
Preset 2 is ready for setting.

4. Adjust Voltage Knob and Current Knob accordingly and press Voltage then
Current Knobs to confirm Preset 2 new settings and Icon” 3” will start flashing
to indicate Preset 3 is ready for setting.
5. Adjust Voltage and Current as before and press Voltage and Current Knobs to
confirm Preset 3 new settings.
6. All the new settings of the three Presets are now completed.
And there is no flashing of anyone of the P1, P2 or P3.

Recalling the Presets
1. Before using this function ,make sure the main output has been switched off by
the Push Button (4)
2. Give a quick press to Voltage Knob then the Current Knob to get Preset
flashing P1. Check the displayed values of voltage and current accordingly.
3. Repeat the above to get to Preset P2, then P3.
4. Quick press of Voltage and Current Knobs at P3 will exit from the Preset Mode
to normal operation mode N at which has no flashing Presets Icon.
NORMAL MODE N→P1→P2→P3→NNORMAL MODE →P1→P2→P3→N
NORMAL MODE
→= Quick press to Voltage Knob then Current Knob.
Warning: Avoid turning action on the knobs while pressing otherwise the set
value will be changed.
Se
tting the Timed Presets & running the Cycled Program

Remarks :
The three Timed Presets share the same Icon of the single V & I Presets. But they
have run time settings and a cycle setting. The power supply can thus be
programmed to operate from one Timed Preset which runs for a set time period
and moves to the next lot of Timed Presets.
When the power supply is in cycle operation the cycle icon flashes with the
time preset in operation.
Setting the Timed Presets
1. Push Button (4) to Output “OFF” position, check display to confirm.
2. Press and hold the voltage knob for about 5 seconds to enter into the setting
mode with flashing “Preset Icon” as shown below.
3. Use voltage knob to adjust voltage for U1, press voltage knob to confirm new
setting.

4. Use current knob to adjust current for A1, press current knob to confirm new
setting.
5. Use voltage knob to adjust time duration in seconds for t1, press voltage
knob to confirm new settings.
6. Repeat above steps for P2 and P3.
7. To set the number of cycles.
After t3 of P3 has been set and confirmed, the P icon will then appears and ready
for setting of number of cycles.
Adjust the voltage knob to set the number of cycles from 1 to 999***.
To double check the Timed Program Cycle Settings.
To Check the settings of Timed Presets before cycle run starts.
Just repeat procedure from 1 to 5 and take note of each setting.
To run the Timed Program cycle

8. Push Button (4) to Output “ON” position, check display to confirm.
9. Press the Voltage Knob to start the cycle runs.
The power supply will return to Normal Mode once the set cycles have
completed the operation.
Selective running of P1, P2 , P3 with Timed Cycle Program :
1. The cycle run will skip any Preset with timer set to zero.
Example 1:-
If you only want to run P1 and P2, then set the time (t3) of P3 set to 0.
Example 2:-
If want to run P3 only, then set the time (t1 and t2) of P1 and P2 to 0.
2. During a cycle run the preset in operation and the Cycle Icon are flashing
together .
3. If all the preset timers ( t1,2,3,) are set to zero then only the Cycle Icon is
flashing. This serves as a warning of wrong setting of 3 preset timers.
Remarks :
A) ***If the number of cycle is set at zero, then the unit will run infinite cycles.
B) To exit from the Timed Presets Cycle Program during operation or the setting
with P1, P2, P3 and number of cycles, just press the Voltage Knob for 5
seconds.
C) If during any of the setting of the Timed Presets & Cycle Program, the setting
operation stops for more than one minute, the unit will return to normal
operation.
D) Previous setting time period values of P1, P2 and P3 are stored after the cycle
operation exit cycle run.
E) The values of both the Presets and the Timed Presets are retained in the unit
even after the power supply is switched off.
F) The cycle number will not be retained after the power supply is switched off or
after the preset runs completed.

VI. Setting the Output Enable / Disable at Power Up
The power supply has been factory preset with Output Power Off when unit is
powered up. This default setting can be changed to Output Power On when unit is
powered up.
VII. Features
1. One main adjustable output with 3 user presets of V & I.
2. Three independent user presets.
3. Programming of timer and auto-cycling of preset in sequence.
4. Rotary encoder tuning of V & I.
5. Output On-Off switch with status indication.
6. Large LCD display for V & I, Presets, CC, CV, status of main and aux. outputs
and Aux outputs and faults.
7. Constant current can be set without shorting.
8. Two Aux snap on outputs of 5V and 12V with status indication.
VIII. Protections
1. Over current to the output
2. Short circuit or over load
3. Over voltage to the output
4. Over temperature to the unit
