4. SAFETY INSTRUCTIoNS
Please read all the instructions before using this device; they contain impor-
tant information on its correct operation.
Damages due to failure to follow these operating instructions will void the
warranty/guarantee! We do not assume any liability for any resulting damage!
We do not assume any liability for material and personal damage caused by
improper use or non-compliance with the safety instructions! In such cases,
the warranty/guarantee will be null and void.
This device has left our factory premises in a safe and perfect condition.
We kindly request the user to observe the safety instructions and warnings contained in the
enclosed operating instructions so this condition is maintained and to ensure safe operation.
Please pay attention to the following symbols:
An exclamation mark in a triangle indicates important information contained in these
operating instructions that must be observed by all means.
The “arrow” symbol is used where special tips and notes on operation are provided.
Protective earth wire connection. This contact/this screw may not be loosened.
Only to be used in dry indoor areas.
The product is CE-conform and meets the requirements of the current European
and national guidelines.
The unauthorized conversion and/or modification of the product is inadmissible for reasons of
safety and approval (CE).
If you have doubts about how the device should be operated or how to connect it safely,
consult a trained technician.
Never touch the device with wet or moist hands. There is danger of a life-threatening electric
shock.
Keep the unit out of the reach of children. It is not a toy.
Do not carelessly leave the packaging material lying around, since it could become a danger-
ous plaything for children.
On industrial sites, the accident prevention regulations of the association of the industrial
workers’ societies for electrical equipment and utilities must be follow ed.
Power supply units used at schools, training facilities, do-it-yourself and hobby workshops
should not be handled unless supervised by trained, responsible personnel.
The device will become warm during operation. Ensure there is sufficient ventilation provided;
do not cover the housing!
Handle the product with care. It can be damaged through impact, blows or drops, even from
a low height.
The design of the product complies with the safety class 1. Only supply the product with a
voltage from an earthed standard mains socket connected to the public supply grid. The
mains socket must be close to the device and easily accessible, or an emergency stop device
must be present.
Always lay the connection cables so that nobody can trip over or become entangled in them.
There is a risk of injury. The cables may not be pinched, kinked or damaged by sharp edges.
Protect the product from extreme temperatures, direct sunlight, strong vibrations, high humid-
ity, moisture, combustible gases, vapours and solvents.
Never pour out liquids above electrical appliances and never leave objects filled with liquids
(e.g. glasses) in the vicinity.
Do not use the device in rooms or under unfavourable ambient conditions in which there are
or could be combustible gases, vapours or dust.
If safe operation is no longer possible, take the device out of service and secure it against
unintended use. Safe operation is no longer possible, if the product:
- has visible damage,
- no longer functions properly,
- has been stored under adverse ambient conditions for an extended period of time or
- has been exposed to considerable strain during transport.
Exclusively use fuses of the type and rated current specified. It is absolutely prohibited to use
repaired fuses.
Avoid using bare metallic cables at the DC output in order to prevent short-circuits.
Never switch the device on immediately after it has been taken from a cold into a warm envi-
ronment. Condensation that forms might destroy your device under unfavourable conditions.
Allow the device to reach room temperature before switching it on.
The power supply unit is not designed for attaching to humans or animals.

1. INTENDED USE
The linear fixed voltage power supply unit with electronic stabilisation is used to supply the
power of low-voltage consumer loads with a nominal operating voltage of 12 Volt. You can
perform a fine adjustment for the output voltage in a range from approx. 11 - 14 V.
The power supply unit is constructed in safety class 1 (protective insulation) and may only be
connected to and used on a standard household mains voltage of 230 V/AC (+/- 10%). The
product is connected to the mains via an IEC power cord (not included in the package).
The connection to the DC output is done via two 4 mm screw terminal sockets. The output
provides a stabilised direct current voltage (DC) that is electrically isolated from the mains.
The momentary output voltage is indicated on the display.
The power consumption of the consumer load must not exceed the nominal current of the
power supply unit (for this purpose, please observe the information in the technical data
section). If exceeded, the power supply unit may overload. If the power supply overloads, e.g.
due to a short-circuit or excessive current draw, the output will be shut off to avoid damage.
After removing the overload, the power supply unit can be put back into operation.
The interconnection of multiple power supply units to increase the voltage or current is not
permitted since this will lead to hazardous voltages which can cause an electric shock.
The power supply unit is not a charger. To charge rechargeable batteries, use suitable charg-
ers with a charging current cut-off.
Do not use the product under adverse ambient conditions. Unfavourable ambient conditions
are:
• Damp or excess air humidity
• Dust and flammable gases, vapours or solvents
• Thunderstorms and storm-like conditions.
Any use other than that described above can lead to damage to the product and may involve
additional risks such as short circuits, fire, electric shock etc. No part of the product may be
modified or converted!
Always observe the safety instructions in the individual chapters and the operating instruc-
tions of the connected devices!
