Keep this manual in a safe place for quick reference at all times.
This manual contains important safety and operation instructions for correct use of the
DC Converter. Read through the manual and pay special attention to the markings and labels
of this unit and equipment to be connected.
Pay special attention to these two types of notices used in this manual
WARNING: Failure to observe this warning may cause injury to persons and
damage to the DC converter or connected equipment.
CAUTION: Failure to observe this warning may result in damage to equipment
and improper functioning of the DC Converter.
1.
Do not use the unit for equipment which requires current input higher than the maximum
specified value.
2.
Do not use the unit for lamps or motorized equipment that requires high starting surge
current.
3.
Do not connect input voltage outside the specified input voltage range of 18 to 38VDC.
4.
Never turn ON the unit when the load is set at full load even if the load current is within
the range.
5.
Always place the unit in well ventilated area as high heat is generated.
6.
Never install the unit near heat sensitive material as the casing of unit can get as high
as 60°C (140°F).
7.
Never apply a voltage source higher than 13.2V without a proper diode to the output,
otherwise unit may be damaged.
8.
Although the unit has very low standby current, it is advisable to disconnect the DC
input if the unit is not to be used.
PDC-6218 DC converter offers regulated 13.2V DC power from 20-30VDC sources. It
implements switching mode technology to generate less heat yet higher efficiency. Its
advanced design and sturdy construction assures continue stability and reliability.
1.
Overload Protection: When the output current reaches the maximum limit, the overload
circuitry is activated and the output voltage and current are reduced to protect the unit.
2.
Over Voltage Protection: When the output voltage reaches the maximum limit, the over
voltage protection is activated and the output voltage shuts down. Protection is
maintained even though output load is removed. The unit can be reset by disconnecting
input for about 5-10 seconds.
3.
High RFI Stability: The unit is designed with high protection circuitry against Radio
Frequency interference.
4.
Operation and Fault status LED indicators.
5.
Versatile clip-on mounting bracket for quick installation.
