Never turn the voltage selection switch during operation. This can damage any load
that is connected (a radio or walkman or the like), on one hand, and destroy the
power supply unit by contact-breaking sparks on the switching contacts, on the oth-
er. Do not use unsuitable tools to make settings. Only use the adjusting tool which
is included. When making settings always be sure the arrow points accurately to the
respective voltage marking.
• Set the required output voltage with the voltage selection switch on the back of the device,
using the voltage setting key.
The output voltage is adjustable from 5 V/DC (DC = “direct current voltage”) to 15 V/
DC, which covers most applications. Note that the power input of the load connected
may not exceed a maximum of 3000 mA (= 3 A) in the range from 5 V/DC to 12 V/
DC The maximum input is 2400 mA (= 2.4 A) in the range exceeding 13.5 V/DC to
15 V/DC.

Now select one of the eight low-voltage plugs which fits the consumer load at hand.

There is an arrow marking on the connection jack at the end of the cable. These
arrow markings are on either side of the low-voltage plugs which are included. A
certain connection polarity belongs to each arrow marking. The result is as follows,
depending on the connection to the jack:
/ outside -
inside - / o
The front end is considered to be “inside” for jack connectors.
• Then plug the low-voltage plug into the connector socket at the end of the output cable,
observing the required polarity.
• Connect the low-voltage plug to the consumer load and only then switch the consumer on.
• Turn the consumer off before disconnecting it from the power supply unit.
Care and Cleaning
• Disconnect the device from the mains voltage and from the connected consumer load be-
fore starting to clean the device.
• The power supply unit does not require any maintenance except that the surface of its
casing needs cleaning occasionally. However, check the mains plug for the integrity of its
insulation at certain intervals.
• Do not use any aggressive cleaning agents, rubbing alcohol or other chemical solutions as
they can cause damage to the housing and malfunctioning.
•
Use a clean, non-fluffy, antistatic, and dry cloth to clear the device of impurities.
Do not use carbon-containing cleaning agents, petrol, alcohols or similar agents.
This can attack the surface of the device. Furthermore, the fumes are a health haz-
ard and explosive.
Moreover, you should not use sharp-edged tools, screw-drivers or metal brushes or
similar objects for cleaning.
Troubleshooting
By purchasing the power supply you have acquired a product that has been designed to the
state of the art and is operationally reliable. Problems and malfunctions can occur nevertheless.
We would therefore like to show how you can rectify certain faults yourself:
Observe the safety instructions by all means!
Problem
Cause
Solution
The power indicator is
not lit.
No mains voltage.
Check the circuit breaker of
the power outlet.
Check that all plugs are
properly plugged in.
Power supply overloaded.
Remove the consumer and
check the technical data.
Disposal
This symbol must appear on any electrical and electronic equipment placed on the
EU market. This symbol indicates that this device should not be disposed of as
unsorted municipal waste at the end of its service life.
Owners of WEEE (Waste from Electrical and Electronic Equipment) shall dispose
of it separately from unsorted municipal waste. Spent batteries and accumulators,
which are not enclosed by the WEEE, as well as lamps that can be removed from
the WEEE in a non-destructive manner, must be removed by end users from the
WEEE in a non-destructive manner before it is handed over to a collection point.
Distributors of electrical and electronic equipment are legally obliged to provide free take-back
of waste. Conrad provides the following return options
free of charge
(more details on our
website):
•
in our Conrad offices
• at the Conrad collection points
• at the collection points of public waste management authorities or the collection points set
up by manufacturers or distributors within the meaning of the ElektroG
End users are responsible for deleting personal data from the WEEE to be disposed of.
It should be noted that different obligations about the return or recycling of WEEE may apply in
countries outside of Germany.
