FAQs
What is the maximum current the power supply can deliver?
The maximum output current varies by voltage: 600mA at 3-6V, 450mA at 7.5V, 400mA at 9V, and 300mA at 12V. The total output power is capped at 3.6W.
Can I use this power supply with my laptop?
This power supply is rated for a maximum of 3.6W. Most laptops require significantly more power (e.g., 45W or higher), so it is not suitable for charging or powering laptops.
How do I select the correct output voltage?
Consult the specifications plate or manual of the device you intend to power. It will indicate the required DC voltage (e.g., 5V, 9V). Then, use the rotary switch on the power supply to match that voltage.
What does 'reversible polarity' mean?
Polarity refers to the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals within the DC connector. Some devices require the center pin to be positive, while others require it to be negative. Reversible polarity means you can connect the plug in a way that achieves the correct configuration for your device.
Are the interchangeable input plugs included?
Yes, the APS 300 Traveller comes with interchangeable input plugs for Europe, the UK, the USA, and Australia.
Does this power supply have short circuit protection?
Yes, the Ansmann APS 300 Traveller features built-in short circuit protection for safety.
What kind of devices is this power supply best suited for?
It is ideal for small electronic devices such as portable radios, battery chargers for low-power gadgets, routers, modems, some LED lighting, and other devices that operate within the 3V-12V range and consume less than 3.6W.
Troubleshooting
Device does not power on
Verify that the correct input plug is securely attached and the power supply is plugged into a working outlet. Ensure the output voltage and polarity settings are correct for your device and that the chosen DC output plug is making good contact.
Device powers on but functions erratically
Check if the selected output voltage is correct for the device. Ensure the output plug is fully inserted. The issue might also be due to insufficient power; confirm your device's power draw does not exceed the 3.6W limit or the maximum current for the selected voltage.
Power supply feels warm during operation
Some warmth is normal, especially under load. However, if it becomes excessively hot, disconnect it immediately. Ensure ventilation is not obstructed and the device's power draw is within the specified limits.
Incorrect output plug selected
Refer to your device's manual for the correct connector type and size. The APS 300 Traveller includes multiple plugs; try different ones until a secure fit is achieved. Ensure the plug is inserted correctly for proper connection.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup:
- Select the appropriate input plug for your region (EU, UK, USA, AUS) and firmly attach it to the power supply.
- Connect the desired DC output plug to the end of the 1.8m output cable.
- Adjust the rotary switch on the power supply to the required output voltage for your device (e.g., 3V, 5V, 9V, 12V).
- Ensure the polarity of the output plug matches your device's requirements. If unsure, consult your device's manual. The polarity can be reversed by inserting the plug in a specific way or by using a reversible plug if provided.
- Plug the power supply into a wall socket and then connect it to your electronic device.
Compatibility:
This power supply is compatible with devices that require an input voltage between 3V and 12V DC and draw a maximum of 3.6W (or the corresponding current for the selected voltage: 600mA at 3-6V, 450mA at 7.5V, 400mA at 9V, 300mA at 12V). Always check your device's power requirements before use.
Care:
- Keep the power supply and its accessories in a dry environment.
- Clean the unit with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using solvents or abrasive cleaners.
- Ensure the ventilation openings are not blocked.
- Store the interchangeable plugs and output connectors in a safe place to avoid loss.
