1.  INTRODUCTION

 

 
This family of efficient, upgraded SMPS with small form factor, auto cross over CV CC, 3 VI presets, remote control 
offers unique solution for various loading conditions and applications. 
The dual action (coarse/fine tune) rotary encoder tuning with MCU makes setting the voltage and current levels ever so 
smooth, precise and fast. Setting, changing, and checking the current limit level can be done easily without sparking the 
output poles. 
The  remote  control  functionality  allows  the  output  power  on/off,  voltage  &current  be  adjusted  without  touching  the 
front panel of the power supply. 
The USB port is added for access to computer to run cyclical operation with Max. 20 programmable sets of preset of 
voltage and current with different time duration and up to 999 cycles. 

It is suitable  for a  wide  range  of applications  such as  laboratory,  telecommunication,  production testing, field test of 
voltage critical distant load, powering of dc network and etc... 

The 3 user defined presets facilitate quick access to frequently used VI settings.

 

 

2.  WARNING

 

 
•  Do not use this power supply near water. 
•  Do not operate or touch this power supply with wet hands. 
•  Do not open the casing of the power supply when it is connected to ac mains. 
•  Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel only. 
•  Before replacing the AC fuse at AC socket, find out and clear up the cause first. 
•  Replace the AC fuse with the same type and rating as the original fuse. 
•  The  max.  output  voltage  of  Model  HCS-3404  is  over  60VDC,  avoid  touch  the  metal  contact  part  of  the  output 

terminals. 

 

3.  CAUTION

 

 
•  Use a grounded 3 pin AC source. 
•  This unit is for indoor use only. 
•  Do not operate or place this unit in a humid, dusty, in direct sunlight location or near any heat source. 
•  Before plugging into local AC mains, check with the rating label at the back of the unit. 
•    Do not block any ventilation openings of the unit. 
•  This unit must be used within the specified rating, regular excessive continuous loading may cause damage to the 

power supply. 

•  The gauge size of input power cable must be at least 0.75mm

2

 and the total length of power cable must not exceed 

3m. 

 

4.  OPERATION ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITION
