2. Instrucciones de seguridad

Before operating the device, please read and understand all safety instructions. Failure to comply may result in injury or damage to the equipment.

• Asegúrese de que la fuente de alimentación esté conectada a una toma de corriente con conexión a tierra.
• No opere el dispositivo en mojado o damp condiciones.
• Evite bloquear las aberturas de ventilación para evitar el sobrecalentamiento.
• No intente abrir ni reparar el dispositivo. Encargue cualquier servicio técnico a personal cualificado.
• The device is equipped with overload and short-circuit protection. However, always ensure proper load connections.
• Safety standards: EN-61010-1 and safety transformer according to EN-61558-2-6.

3. Configuración

Follow these steps to set up your PeakTech P 6145 power supply:

1. Desembalaje: Carefully remove the power supply from its packaging and inspect it for any signs of damage. Retain the packaging for future transport or storage.
2. Colocación: Place the unit on a stable, level surface. Ensure adequate ventilation around the device, leaving at least 10 cm of space on all sides, especially around the rear fan.
3. Conexión de energía: Connect the provided power cord to the AC input socket on the rear panel of the power supply and then to a suitable grounded mains outlet. Ensure the mains voltage coincide con la clasificación especificada en el dispositivo.
4. Comprobación inicial: Before connecting any load, ensure all control knobs are set to their minimum positions.

4. Instrucciones de funcionamiento

The PeakTech P 6145 offers flexible operation with its dual adjustable outputs and a fixed output.

4.1 Panel frontal sobreview

• Pantallas digitales: Two sets of displays show the output voltage (V) and current (A) for the Master and Slave channels.
• Volumentage Adjustment Knobs: Fine and coarse adjustment for output voltage on each channel.
• Perillas de ajuste de corriente: Fine and coarse adjustment for output current limit on each channel.
• Terminales de salida: 4mm safety sockets for Master (0-30V/0-5A), Slave (0-30V/0-5A), and Fixed (5V/3A) outputs.
• Mode Selection Switches: For Master/Slave operation (Normal, Series, Parallel).
• Botón de encendido/apagado de salida: Toggles the output for the adjustable channels. The fixed 5V/3A output is always active.
• Interruptor de alimentación: Interruptor principal de alimentación de la unidad.

4.2 Funcionamiento básico (modo independiente)

1. Ensure the Master/Slave mode switch is set to NORMAL.
2. Turn on the power supply using the main power switch.
3. Ajustar el volumentage and current limit for the Master channel using its respective knobs. The displays will show the set values.
4. Repeat for the Slave channel.
5. Connect your load to the appropriate 4mm safety output terminals.
6. Presione el SALIDA ON / OFF button to enable the output. The displays will now show the actual voltage y corriente entregada a la carga.
7. For the fixed 5V/3A output, simply connect your load to its dedicated terminals.

4.3 Master/Slave Operation

The two adjustable channels can be configured for series or parallel operation:

• Modo serie: Seleccionar SERIE on the mode switch. This combines the voltage of both channels, providing up to 60V (e.g., 30V + 30V) at the current limit of the Master channel (up to 5A). Connect the load to the Master output terminals.
• Modo paralelo: Seleccionar PARALELO on the mode switch. This combines the current of both channels, providing up to 10A (e.g., 5A + 5A) at the voltage of the Master channel (up to 30V). Connect the load to the Master output terminals.

In both series and parallel modes, the Master channel controls the overall output, and the Slave channel automatically adjusts accordingly.

5. Mantenimiento

Un mantenimiento adecuado garantiza la longevidad y el funcionamiento confiable de su fuente de alimentación.

• Limpieza: Desconecte la fuente de alimentación de la red eléctrica antes de limpiarla. Utilice un paño suave y seco para limpiar el exterior. No utilice limpiadores abrasivos ni disolventes.
• Ventilación: Regularly check that the ventilation openings and fan are free from dust and debris. Use compressed air to clear any blockages if necessary.
• Reemplazo de fusibles: If the unit fails to power on, check the fuse located in the power input socket on the rear panel. Replace it only with a fuse of the same type and rating (e.g., 250V/T3.15A).

6. Solución de problemas

Si tiene problemas con su fuente de alimentación, consulte los siguientes problemas y soluciones comunes:

• Sin energía:
  • Check if the power cord is securely connected to both the unit and the mains outlet.
  • Verify that the mains outlet is functional.
  • Check and replace the fuse if blown (refer to Section 5. Maintenance).
• Sin volumen de salidatage/Actual:
  • Asegúrese de que SALIDA ON / OFF button is pressed (output enabled).
  • Comprueba si el voltage and current limit knobs are set above zero.
  • Verifique que la carga esté correctamente conectada y no en cortocircuito.
  • If the unit is in Constant Current (CC) mode, the current limit has been reached. Increase the current limit or reduce the load.
  • If the unit is in Constant Voltage (CV) mode, the voltage limit has been reached. Increase the voltage limit or reduce the load.
• Overload/Short-Circuit Protection Activated:
  • The unit automatically protects itself from overload and short circuits. Disconnect the load, resolve the issue (e.g., reduce load resistance, fix short), and then re-enable the output.

If the problem persists after following these steps, contact customer support or a qualified service technician.
