1. Connect the power supply to the mains, making sure that the switch on the unit is turned off.
2. For adjustable power supplies only, the voltage and current limits must be set before connecting anything to the outputs.
- Turn the unit on and check that the current limit adjuster is set to the required value. Generally, when used as a
power supply, the current limit will be set to maximum (fully clockwise). N.B. The display only will show the current
being supplied and not the current limit that has been set, so setting this limit is only approximate.
- To set the voltage, turn the adjuster to obtain the required voltage.
3. With the power supply turned off, connect the charger (or other device) to the power supply ensuring the correct
polarity.
4. The unit can now be turned on and the LED or LCD screen (depending on the unit being used) will light up showing
that power is now being supplied.
• This unit must ONLY be used indoors.
• Place the Power Supply on a firm, non-flammable, level
surface.
• DO NOT cover the Power Supply.
• ALWAYS check the connection polarity, as permanent
damage can occur if connected to the supply with the
wrong polarity.
• ALWAYS disconnect the Power Supply from the AC
mains when not in use.
• NEVER connect power supplies together (serial or parallel).
CHARGING LEAD-ACID BATTERIES WITH A PS201ADJT
Lead-acid batteries can be charged with an adjustable power supply by charging at a constant current then constant voltage.
1. With the battery disconnected, using the voltage adjuster set the maximum charge voltage. For lead-acid batteries, the
voltage limit should normally be calculated based upon 2.4V per cell. i.e. 12V batteries should be set to 14.4V.
2. Decide upon the maximum charging current for your battery. This is normally between 8% and 30% of the battery
capacity i.e 10Ah battery can normally be charged at between 0.8A and 3.0A.
3. Turn the current limit to 0A (fully anti-clockwise) and connect the battery ensuring the correct polarity (Red = +ve,
Black = -ve). Now slowly turn the current limit clockwise untill the desired maximum charge current is shown on the
display. N.B If the battery is well charged then the voltage limit may already be reached, so the desired maximum
charge current will not be achievable. In this case, set the current limit adjuster to the point at which the current display
stops increasing.
4. The power supply will charge the battery at the desired current until the voltage of the battery reaches the maximum
voltage, at which stage the charge current will slowly reduce as the battery becomes charged.
5. When the charge is complete, turn the power supply off and disconnect the battery.

• DO NOT disassemble the power supply, as there are
no user serviceable parts inside and this can affect the
warranty.
• The Power Supply may become warm in use and you
may hear a slight buzzing sound – this is normal and no
action is needed.
• DO NOT attempt to use with equipment which requires
more than the maximum current selected.
• ALWAYS ensure that the connections into the power
supply are suitable for the current being drawn.
