• If it is no longer possible to operate the product safely, take it out of operation and
protect it from any accidental use. Safe operation can no longer be guaranteed
if the product:
- is visibly damaged,
- is no longer working properly,
- has been stored for extended periods in poor ambient conditions or
- has been subjected to any serious transport-related stresses.
• Please handle the product carefully. Jolts, impacts or a fall even from a low height
can damage the product.
• 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 specified 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 modified or
rebuilt.
• Avoid installing bare metallic cables and contacts. Cover all bare points by suit-
able, difficultly inflammable insulating materials or take other measures, thus pro
-
tecting such points from being directly contacted. Likewise, take measures apt to
protect the electrically conducting elements of the loads connected from being
directly contacted.
• This product is not authorised for use in damp rooms or outdoors or under adverse
ambient conditions. Adverse ambient conditions are:
- Moisture or excessively high humidity of air
-
Dust and inflammable gases, vapours or solvents
- Heavy vibrations.
• In commercial and industrial facilities, the regulations for the prevention of ac-
cidents as laid down by the professional trade association for electrical equipment
and devices need to be observed.
• Measuring devices used at schools, training facilities, do-it-yourself and hobby
workshops should not be handled unless supervised by trained, responsible per-
sonnel.
• Never turn on the device immediately after it has been brought from a cold into a
warm room. Condensation water that forms might destroy your device. Leave the
device switched off and wait until it has reached room temperature.
• Consult an expert when in doubt about the operation, safety or connection of the
appliance.
•
Maintenance, modifications and repairs must only be completed by a technician
or an authorised repair centre.
• If you have questions which remain unanswered by these operating instructions,
contact our technical support service or other technical personnel.
b) Connected devices
• Also observe the safety and operating instructions of any other devices which are
connected to the product.
Operation
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 sufficiently 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.
• Connect the power cord’s low-voltage plug with the matching socket of the power supply
unit.
• Connect the mains plug to a standard mains socket.
• The red LED on the top of the power supply unit lights up and indicates that the power
supply unit is ready for use.

Intended Use
This product is designed to connect and operate low-voltage consumer loads with an operat-
ing voltage of 5 / 6 / 7.5 / 9 / 12 / 13.5 / 15 V/DC. The consumer’s current consumption must
not exceed a max. of 3 A at up to 12 V/DC and a max. of 2.4 A from 13.5 to 15 V/DC. If this is
exceeded, it can lead the product to overload. In case of overload, e.g. through short circuit or
too high a continuous current consumption, the output is automatically lowered. Polarity of the
connection (+ or - inside) is determined by the orientation of the low-voltage plug used. The
product is designed for connection to a standard mains socket with a voltage of 100 - 240 V/
AC, 50/60 Hz.
This product fulfils European and national requirements related to electromagnetic compat
-
ibility (EMC).
CE conformity has been verified and the relevant statements and documents have been de
-
posited at the manufacturer.
It is intended for indoor use only. Do not use it outdoors. Contact with moisture, e.g. in bath-
rooms, must be avoided under all circumstances.
For safety and approval purposes, you must not rebuild and/or modify this product. If you use
the product for purposes other than those described above, the product may be damaged. In
addition, improper use can result in short circuits, fires, electric shocks or other hazards. Read
the instructions carefully and store them in a safe place. Make this product available to third
parties only together with its operating instructions.
This product complies with the statutory national and European requirements. All company
