- Asegúrese de que el interruptor de encendido en el panel frontal esté en la posición "APAGADO".
- Connect the provided power cord to the AC inlet on the rear panel of the power supply.
- Plug the other end of the power cord into a standard 230V AC, 50Hz grounded electrical outlet.

3.3 Encendido inicial
After connecting the power cord, switch the power supply ON using the main power switch on the front panel. The display should illuminate, indicating the device is ready for operation.
4. Instrucciones de funcionamiento
4.1 Panel frontal sobreview

The front panel features digital displays for voltage and current, control knobs for precise adjustment, and multiple output terminals.
4.2 Ajuste del volumentage and Current (Output A)
- Connect your load to the main output terminals (Output A). Use the red terminal for positive (+) and the black terminal for negative (-). The yellow terminal is for ground.
- Turn the "VOLT" knob to set the desired output voltage. The digital display will show the set voltage.
- Gire el "AMPERE" knob to set the desired current limit. This acts as a current limiter to protect your circuit.
- The "C-LIMIT" indicator will illuminate if the current limit is reached.
- The "OVP" (Overvoltage Protection) indicator will illuminate if an overvoltage condition occurs.

4.3 Using the USB Outputs (Output B-USB)
The VLP-1602 includes dedicated USB outputs for testing and development purposes. These outputs can be used to stress connected USB devices.
- Connect your USB device to one of the USB-B1 or USB-B2 ports.
- Use the "MODE" switch to select the desired USB output mode (e.g., 4.8-5.2V, 4.5-4.7V, Normal).
- The "ADJ" knob allows for fine adjustment of the USB output voltage within the selected mode.
- Refer to the labels near the USB ports for specific voltage and current ratings (e.g., USB-B1: 5V/2A, USB-B2: 12V/0.5A).
5. Mantenimiento
5.1 Limpieza
To clean the exterior of the power supply, use a soft, damp Paño. No utilice limpiadores abrasivos ni disolventes. Asegúrese de que el dispositivo esté apagado y desenchufado antes de limpiarlo.
5.2 Reemplazo de fusibles
If the power supply does not turn on, check the fuse located on the rear panel near the AC inlet.
- Desconecte el cable de alimentación de la toma de CA.
- Use a flat-head screwdriver to open the fuse holder.
- Replace the blown fuse with a new fuse of the same type and rating (T 1.6A / 250V).
- Cierre el portafusibles de forma segura.
Advertencia: Always replace fuses with the specified type and rating to prevent damage to the unit or risk of fire.
6. Solución de problemas
| Problema | Posible causa | Solución |
|---|---|---|
| El dispositivo no se enciende. | No power from outlet, power cord disconnected, blown fuse. | Check power outlet, ensure power cord is securely connected, replace fuse (see Section 5.2). |
| Sin volumen de salidatage / actual. | Terminales de salida no conectados, vol.tage/current knobs set to zero, OVP/OCP triggered. | Ensure load is properly connected, adjust voltage/current knobs, check for OVP/OCP indicators and reset if necessary. |
| Vol de salidatage/corriente es inestable. | Poor connection, faulty load, internal issue. | Check all connections, test with a different load. If problem persists, contact support. |
| sobrevoltajetage Protection (OVP) indicator is on. | Vol de salidatage exceeded a safe limit. | Reduce the set voltage or check the load for issues. Power cycle the unit to reset OVP. |
