UNIVERSAL SWITCH-MODE POWER SUPPLY
Item No. 51 27 25
INTENDED USE
1.
The power supply can be used wordwide due to its wide supply voltage range of from 100 to 240 V/AC
(~) and to the interchangeable power plugs. The connection and operation of low-voltage loads from
3 to 12 V/DC is universally possible in educational, business and hobby applications (CD players, cassette
players, etc.). The current consumption of a connected load may not exceed 600 mA. Exceeding this limit
will lead to overloading of the power supply. The polarity can be selected at will by means of the low-voltage
adapter. A high output current with small physical size and low weight is achieved through the use of switching
power supply technology. With overload of the power supply (e.g. through short-circuit or too-high a continuous
current consumption), the output is reduced under control.
This product fulfi ls European and national requirements related to electromagnetic compatibility (EMC).

The product is not a toy and should be kept out of reach of children!
•
When used in conjunction with other devices, observe the operating instructions and safety notices of
•
connected devices.
The product must not be subjected to heavy mechanical stress.
•
The product must not be exposed it to extreme temperatures, direct sunlight, intense vibration, or
•
dampness.
Take care not to damage or destroy its insulation.
•
Never use the power supply unit as a charging device proper.
•
When using power supply units you are not allowed to wear metallic or conductive pieces of jewelry, e.g.
•
chains, bracelets, rings or the like.
Power supply units are not allowed for use on human beings or animals.
•
Hazardous voltages will be produced when the outputs of several power supply units are connected in
•
series (> 35 V/DC).
Do not cover the ventilation slots of power supply units. Such devices are cooled by convection in most cases.
•
Do not operate unattended power supply units and loads connected to them. Take measures apt to protect
•
and secure the loads connected from the effects produced by the power supply units (e.g. excess voltages,
failure of the power supply unit) and the effects and hazards originating from the loads themselves (e.g.
inadmissibly high power input).
Power supply units may produce voltages exceeding 50 V/DC in a malfunction case. Such voltages cause
•
hazards, even if the specifi ed output voltages of the devices are lower.
When working under a voltage only use tools which are explicitly allowed for the purpose.
•
The two-pole plug at the output of power supply units may not be modifi ed or rebuilt.
•
Avoid installing bare metallic cables and contacts. Cover all bare points by suitable, diffi cultly infl ammable
•
insulating materials or take other measures, thus protecting such points from being directly contacted.
Likewise, take measures apt to protect the electrically conducting elements of the loads connected from
being directly contacted.
If there is reason to believe that safe operation has become impossible put the power supply unit out of
•
operation and secure it against any unintended operation. Safe operation must be presumed to be no
longer possible, if
the unit exhibits visible damage
-
the unit does not operate any longer
-
the unit was stored under unfavourable conditions for a long period of time or
-
the unit was exposed to extraordinary stress caused by transport.
-

OPERATION
6.
The surface of the casing will heat up intensely during prolonged operation at a rated
•
load. Attention: Danger of burns ! Therefore, take great care to suffi ciently ventilate
the power supply unit. Never operate it when partially or fully covered. This will help
avoid any damage.
When connecting a load always take care not to connect it as long as it is switched
•
on. A load in an ON condition, when being connected to the output terminals of the
power supply unit, can cause sparks to form on the supply terminals. This, in turn, can
damage the supply jacks or the cables connected and/or their terminals.
If you do not need the plug-in mains adapter disconnect it from the mains.
•
Select one of the four power plug adaptors included and insert it into the adaptor slot on the underside of
1.
the power supply unit, observing the correct direction. Slide the adaptor towards the voltage mode switch
until you hear the adaptor lock into place.
To remove the adaptor, use a tool (e.g. a screwdriver or tip of a pen) to press down the locking lever. Then
2.
slide the adaptor away from the voltage mode switch and remove the adaptor.
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 other. 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
3.
setting key.
The output voltage is adjustable from 3 V/DC (DC = “direct current voltage”) to 12 V/DC, which
covers most applications. Note that the power input of the load connected may not exceed a
maximum of 600 mA .
Now select one of the eight low-voltage plugs which fi ts the consumer load at hand.
