Saugos informacija ir svarbios pastabos

• Įvesties tomastage Reikalavimas: Įvesties ttage must be at least 1.5V higher than the desired output voltage. This module is a buck (step-down) converter and cannot boost voltage.
• Poliškumas: Ensure correct polarity when connecting input and output wires. Do not reverse the input and output interfaces to prevent damage to the module.
• Output Current/Power: Keep the output current under 2A (or 15W). For prolonged operation at higher loads, a heat sink is recommended to prevent overheating.
• Elektros sauga: Always disconnect power before making any connections or adjustments. Exercise caution when working with electrical circuits.

Sąranka ir jungtys

Prieš prijungdami modulį, įsitikinkite, kad visi maitinimo šaltiniai yra atjungti.

1. Identifikuokite terminalus: Locate the "IN+" (Input Positive), "IN-" (Input Negative), "OUT+" (Output Positive), and "OUT-" (Output Negative) screw terminals on the module.
2. Įvesties jungtis: Connect your DC power source to the "IN+" and "IN-" terminals. Ensure the positive lead of your power source connects to "IN+" and the negative lead to "IN-".
3. Išvesties jungtis: Connect your load (the device requiring regulated voltage) to the "OUT+" and "OUT-" terminals. Ensure the positive lead of your load connects to "OUT+" and the negative lead to "OUT-".
4. Pradinis ttage reguliavimas: Before applying power to your load, it is recommended to pre-adjust the output voltage. Connect a multimeter to the output terminals and adjust the potentiometer until the desired voltagRodomas e.

Naudojimo instrukcijos

ttage Reguliavimas

Išėjimo tūristage is adjusted using the blue multi-turn potentiometer located on the module.

• Use a small screwdriver to turn the screw on the potentiometer.
• Pasukimas pagal laikrodžio rodyklę will generally padidinti išvesties ttage.
• Pasukimas prieš laikrodžio rodyklę will generally mažėti išvesties ttage.
• Pastaba: The factory default setting often results in a high output voltage. You may need to turn the potentiometer counter-clockwise approximately 7-15 full rotations before the voltage begins to decrease. Each full rotation typically adjusts the voltage by about 1V.

Digital Voltmeter Operation

The integrated LED display provides real-time voltage skaitymai.

• ON/OFF Button (Left Button):
  • Trumpas paspaudimas: Toggles the digital voltmeter display ON or OFF.
  • Long Press (>1s, <4s): Shuts down the digital voltmeter display.
  • Long Press (>4s): Enters voltage measurement self-calibration mode (see Calibration section).
• Mode Button (Right Button):
  • Trumpas paspaudimas: Switches the display between input voltage ("IN" indicator light) and output voltage ("OUT" indicator light).
  • Long Press (>2s): Used during calibration to switch between input and output calibration, and to save calibrated values.

Voltmeter Calibration (Optional)

This procedure is for users requiring highly accurate voltage readings from the integrated voltmeter. The factory setting is 0.0V deviation.

1. Įjunkite kalibravimo režimą: With the module powered on, long press the left "ON/OFF" button for more than 4 seconds. The "IN" indicator light will illuminate, signifying input voltage measurement calibration has started. The display will show a calibration value (e.g., "0.0").
2. Calibrate Input Voltage: Connect a precise external voltmeter to the input terminals. Compare the reading on the module's display with the external voltmeter.
   • Tap the left button to decrease the displayed value.
   • Tap the right button to increase the displayed value.
   • Each tap adjusts by a small unit (less than 0.1V). You may need to tap 1-5 times to see a 0.1V change. Adjust until the module's display matches your external voltmeter.
3. Switch to Output Calibration: After calibrating the input voltage, long press the right "Mode" button for more than 2 seconds. The "OUT" indicator light will illuminate, signifying output voltage measurement calibration has started.
4. Kalibruoti išvesties tūrįtage: Connect a precise external voltmeter to the output terminals. Compare the reading on the module's display with the external voltmeter.
   • Tap the left button to decrease the displayed value.
   • Tap the right button to increase the displayed value.
   • Adjust until the module's display matches your external voltmeter.
5. Save Calibration: After calibrating both input and output, long press the right "Mode" button for more than 2 seconds. The adjusted values will be saved (retained even after power loss), and the module will return to normal voltage rodymo režimas.

Trikčių šalinimas

• Nėra išvesties Voltage / Display Off:
  • Check input power supply connections and ensure it is within the 4V-40V range.
  • Patikrinkite įvesties poliškumą.
  • Ensure the left "ON/OFF" button has been short-pressed to activate the display.
• Išėjimas ttage Not Adjusting:
  • Patvirtinkite įvesties tūrįtage is at least 1.5V higher than the desired output.
  • Turn the potentiometer counter-clockwise multiple rotations (7-15) as the default setting might be at maximum voltage.
  • Ensure the potentiometer is not damaged.
• Modulio perkaitimas:
  • Reduce the output current or power draw.
  • Užtikrinkite tinkamą vėdinimą aplink modulį.
  • Consider adding a heat sink if operating continuously near the maximum current/power limits (2A or 15W).
• Inaccurate Voltmeter Reading:
  • Perform the voltmeter calibration procedure detailed in this manual.
  • Ensure connections to the external multimeter are secure and accurate during calibration.
