FAQs

Can I adjust the output voltage on the FSP-1136?

No, the FSP-1136 is a fixed voltage power supply providing a steady 13.8V DC.

Is this power supply suitable for outdoor use?

The device is designed for laboratory and indoor workshop environments and is not rated for outdoor exposure or high-humidity conditions.

What happens if I pull more than 6A?

The built-in current limiter will activate to protect the supply, which may cause the output voltage to drop or the unit to shut down.

Does this unit require active cooling?

The unit relies on its heavy-duty steel enclosure for passive heat dissipation, so ensure it has adequate airflow around the sides.

Can I connect two FSP-1136 units in series?

This is not recommended as the power supply is designed for single-unit operation and has not been tested for series configurations.

Troubleshooting

No output voltage detected

Verify the unit is connected to a live 230V outlet and check the status of the front power indicator.

Unit shuts down under load

The internal current limiter may have tripped due to an overload; disconnect the load, wait a few minutes, and verify your device does not exceed 6A.

Device humming or vibrating

As a linear power supply, a slight mechanical hum from the transformer is normal; however, ensure the unit is on a level, solid surface.

Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up the FSP-1136, ensure the unit is placed on a stable, well-ventilated surface to allow for proper heat dissipation during operation. Connect the device to a standard 230V AC mains outlet. Use high-quality 4mm banana plugs for your connections to the output terminals; ensure the polarity matches your device.

Care Instructions:

  • Keep the ventilation slots clear of dust and debris.
  • Periodically inspect the power cord for signs of fraying or wear.
  • Store in a dry, temperate environment to prevent internal oxidation.
  • Disconnect from power when not in use for extended periods.
