 D.C. REGULATED POWER SUPPLY
0 - 24 V / 1 A

INTRODUCTION

DC Regulated power supply is versatile, power easy to use, low power, low voltage, high
regulation, laboratory supply specially suitable for experimental set ups, circuit development
and low voltage applications.

It provide output voltage from 0 - 24V and current from 0-1A. Both voltage and current are
precisely regulated with low output ripple. It is fully protected against overload. The output
voltage and current are monitored on separate digital meters. The power supply is designed
to operate in ambient temperatures of upto 500C and full output may be drawn continuously
provided free air circulation is allowed.

 OPERATION

The Power Supply works on 230V +/- 10%, 50Hz single phase AC supply. A three pin plug
with cable is provided to connect the power supply to mains. Use of 3 pin plug and 3 core
cable enables the unit to be properly grounded.

Observe that the ON / OFF Power Control switch is in the OFF position and plug the unit into
three pin wall socket (with proper earthing) giving 230V AC , 50 Hz, 1 phase. Turn the power
control switch to ON position, the built in indicator & digital meters will start glowing.

The DC Regulated Power Supply gives the selected output between 0-24V and current up to
1 Amps.

For setting the output voltage and current limit:

Setting of Voltage limit

Leave V+ and V- terminals open and adjust the voltage by coarse and fine control until
the voltmeter reads the desired voltage. (This Voltage becomes the voltage limit of the
supply)

Setting of Current limit

For setting the current limit, short the Output Terminals and adjust the current by
coarse and fine control until the current meter reads the desired current. (This current
becomes the current limit of the supply). Remove the external load.

Now the power supply is ready for use within the set voltage and current limit and will
go into CC (Constant Current) mode when the load current increases over the set limit and
the output voltage will drop to minimum (near zero).

To bring back to normal CV (Constant Voltage) mode, decrease the load back below
the set current.

Repeat the above steps for other settings.
