CONNECTING EXTERNAL DEVICES
Always connect the red (+) positive lead from your charger or other external device (or the included
terminal block) to the red (+) positive terminal on the power supply, and the black (-) negative lead
from your charger or other external device (or the included terminal block) to the black (-) negative
terminal on the power supply.
Note: The black and red terminal caps can be unscrewed and removed if needed.
WARNING: ALWAYS ensure polarity is correct when connecting external devices to the power
supply. Reverse polarity will not damage the power supply but it may damage the external device.
WARNING: NEVER attempt to connect batteries directly to the output of the power supply!
TERMINAL BLOCK ADAPTER
A terminal block adapter is included for convenient
connection of external devices which have alligator
clips on their input power leads. This also allows the
adapter to be located away from the power supply
itself which can be very convenient in crowded work
spaces. The terminal block has two large, metal
terminals or “posts” which are clearly marked for
polarity; one terminal is red for positive (+) polarity, the
other terminal is black for negative (-) polarity. When
connecting external devices to the terminal block, be
sure to make a solid physical connection to avoid
intermittent power delivery to the external device.
WARNING: Do not allow wires or other metal objects to accidentally make contact simultaneously
with both terminals, as a short circuit condition will exist.
SAFETY FEATURES
The Team CheckPoint 25 Amp Racing Power Supply has a 25 amp solid-state current limiter for
overload protection, plus short circuit protection. If either of these conditions occur, disconnect the
supply from the AC input, wait approximately 15 seconds to allow the device to reset, and then re-
connect to the AC input.
Twin built-in rear mounted cooling fans keep electronics cool to help maintain optimum effi ciency
and extend the life of the power supply.
WARNING: Do not block the air vents on the power supply. Make sure there is ample room for air to
enter and leave the power supply so heat can dissipate effi ciently.
