  • Page 2 Please read this manual carefully before operating the power supply. 1. Introduction Volteq HY series single output switch mode DC power supplies are regulated variable DC power supplies designed to provide the most often required DC outputs in scientific and research institutions, schools and colleges, industrial R&D, as well as manufacturing and testing.

    output terminal ("-") is usually shorted with “GND”. Only select models include the front terminals. Warning: the front terminals are rated for less than 10A only. Use only the rear output terminals if current draw is more than 10A, and tighten the connection to reduce contact resistance. Warning: For electrochemical applications (e.g., plating and anodizing), remove the short connector between “–”...

(19) Cooling fan: the fan is turned on briefly when the power supply is energized; afterwards it is turned on when internal temperature of the power supply rises above 45℃. (20) AC voltage selector switch: use this switch to select the input AC of either 110V or 220V for select models.

    2-3 Technical Parameters 1) Voltage stabilization: ≤0.2% 2) Current stabilization: ≤0.5% 3) Load stabilization: ≤0.3% 4) Ripple and noise: ≤1%( RMS) 5) Display accuracy: ±1%±1 digit 3. Operation Instructions 3-1 Installation 1) Before plugging into AC outlet The input voltage of the power supply is typically shown on the top rear part of the case. AC voltage should be within 10% of the input voltage specified, e.g., if the specified input voltage is 110V, the power supply will work with AC voltage of 110V±10%.

Warning: To avoid electrical shock, the grounding conductor of the power cord must be connected to AC ground. Warning: Do not connect any load to the power supply before it's turned on.
  • Page 9: Constant Voltage / Constant Current Characteristics

    3-2 Constant Voltage / Constant Current Characteristics The power supply is a regulated constant current / constant voltage (CC CV) power supply, which is characterized by automatic crossover from constant current (CC) to constant voltage (CV), and vise versa. At any moment, the power supply automatically determines whether to operate in CV or CC mode, depending on the voltage and current limit (set by the front knobs), and the load connected (if no load is connected, it simply means that the load resistance is infinite;...

    becomes the lower limit, and the output current remains constant and the output voltage drops in proportion to the further decrease of the load resistance. Similarly, crossover from constant current (CC) to constant voltage (CV) mode automatically occurs when the resistance of the load is increased.

    switch first before turning this button on; conversely, turn this button off before switching off the air switch in the back. For the models without air switch, this button turns the power on and off. 1) Constant Voltage (CV) Operations e) Adjust current knobs (knobs 3 or 4) to slightly above zero so that CV indicator light is on, and set voltage (knobs 12 and 13) to the desired output voltage.

    h) Once finished, turn the current down to < 1A, disconnect the load, and then turn off the power supply. 3) Battery Charging Operation Warning: at no time should the battery be connected to the power supply when the power supply is turned off, or with the output voltage of the power supply set to lower than the battery voltage.
  • Page 13 k) Disconnect the battery from the power supply, and then turn off the power supply. 4) Inductive Load Warning: it is critical to change the current on the inductive load slowly. Sudden changes of power supply output can cause the inductive load to generate a reverse EMF much larger than the voltage from the power supply, and cause damage to the power supply.

Caution: For models with air switch, the green On/Off button enables/disables the output. Turn on the air switch first before turning this button on;...

    For very sensitive applications, it maybe desirable to set OV level to a specific value, by following the steps below: 1) Determine the maximum voltage allowed by the your application (the OV limit). This should be slightly higher than the operating voltage. If for whatever reason there is a voltage surge above this limit (measured at the output terminals), the OV light will turn red, and the power supply will no longer respond to user input (with the output turned off).
  • Page 16: Fuse Replacement

    4-1 Fuse Replacement Some models are equipped with air switch, which is a reset-able breaker and does not require a fuse. The rest of the models are equipped with a fuse. If the fuse is blown, the power supply will not turn on. It is a good idea to determine and correct the cause of the blown fuse, then replace only with a fuse of the correct rating and type.

The power supply is reset and ready to be used. 4-3 Recovery from Over-temperature Protection If the internal temperature is too high, the power supply is disabled due to over-heating, and the OT indicator turns red.
