Product Information

Full details

The VOLTCRAFT DPPS-60-10 is a versatile bench mountable laboratory power supply unit designed for operating low-voltage consumables. It offers adjustable DC voltage and current with precise control via digital rotary encoders and a clear LCD display. While it provides both front panel (5A max, overload protected) and rear panel high-current outputs, users should note the front panel's 5A limitation and ensure proper connection types for the desired output. Key features include constant power operation and three programmable memory slots for quick access to common settings.

FAQs

What is the maximum current the rear panel can output?

The rear panel can output up to the full nominal current rating of the device, which is 10A. However, the total current drawn from both front and rear outputs combined cannot exceed 10A.

Can I use the front and rear outputs simultaneously?

Yes, you can use both outputs simultaneously, but the total current drawn from both must not exceed the unit's maximum capacity (10A). The front output is still limited to 5A.

How do I set the constant power limit?

The constant power limit can be pre-set through the digital controls. Refer to the operating instructions for the specific sequence of button presses and rotary encoder adjustments required to set the power limit without needing a shorting bar.

What type of connectors are used on the front and back?

The front panel uses standard 4mm safety sockets (banana plugs). The rear panel uses high current socket screw connectors, requiring compatible connectors for connection.

How many settings can I save?

The DPPS-60-10 features three freely programmable memory slots where you can save different fixed voltages and current limitations for quick recall.

Is this power supply isolated?

Yes, the DPPS-60-10 serves as a potential-free DC voltage source, meaning its output is isolated from the mains input.

What comes included with the power supply?

The package includes the Voltcraft DPPS-60-10 unit, a power cord, a connector for remote connection, a 1.5m USB cable, a software CD, and the operating instructions.

Troubleshooting

Device does not power on

Ensure the power cord is securely connected to both the PSU and the mains outlet. Verify the mains outlet is functional by testing with another device. Check the main power switch on the PSU.

No output voltage or current

Confirm that the output terminals are correctly connected to your load. Check that the voltage and current are set appropriately and that the output is enabled (if applicable via a switch or software). Ensure the load is not short-circuited.

Front panel output trips overload protection

The connected load is drawing more than 5A. Reduce the current limit setting on the PSU or use the rear panel output for loads requiring more than 5A. Check the connected device for a short circuit.

Inaccurate readings on LCD display

Ensure the display is clean. If persistent, recalibration might be needed; consult the full operating manual. Verify connections to the load are secure.

Software not connecting to the device

Verify the USB cable is properly connected at both ends. Ensure the correct drivers are installed from the provided CD. Check that the device is powered on and the software is configured to recognize the correct COM port.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Precise voltage and current adjustment with dual-mode rotary controls.
  • Overload protection on the front panel output for safety.
  • Versatile output options with front and rear connections.
  • Programmable memory slots for efficient workflow.
  • Clear LCD display for real-time value monitoring.
  • Constant power setting capability for stable operation.

Cons

  • Front panel output is limited to 5A.
  • Rear panel connections require specific high-current connectors.
  • Requires careful selection of output based on current needs.
  • Software functionality may vary and requires CD drive.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Connect the included power cord to the rear of the unit and a suitable power outlet.
  2. For front panel use, connect your load using standard 4mm banana plugs to the front output terminals.
  3. For high-current rear panel use, connect appropriate high-current connectors to the screw terminals on the back.
  4. Connect the remote connection cable if remote control functionality is needed.
  5. Insert the provided software CD into your computer if you intend to use the software features.

Compatibility:

  • The unit is designed for operating low-voltage consumables and electronic circuits.
  • Ensure your device's voltage and current requirements are within the DPPS-60-10's output specifications (up to 60V, 10A total).
  • Front panel output is limited to 5A.

Care:

  • Keep the unit in a well-ventilated area to prevent overheating.
  • Clean the exterior with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals.
  • Ensure ventilation slots are clear of dust and debris. Periodically clean with compressed air if necessary.
  • Store the unit in a dry environment when not in use.
