3. Intended use
The laboratory power supply serves as a floating DC voltage source for the operation of low-
voltage consumers with constant voltage or constant current. Up to three voltage/current output
ranges can be stored as presets. The maximum output power is 80 W. The DC output can be
realised alternatively on the front of the device via 4 mm safety sockets or on the back via plug-in
clamps. Voltage drops in the DC line can be compensated and the output value stabilised via
a sense cable.
Always use sufficiently dimensioned connection cables. A wire cross-section that is
too small can cause overheating and fire.
To achieve higher output currents, multiple LSP-1362 laboratory power supplies can be
connected in parallel via master/slave control. In that case, all laboratory power supplies are
controlled via the master device.
An adjustable voltage and current limit protects the connected consumers against excess
voltage/current. If the voltage/current is reached, the output is deactivated. The voltage and
current strength are shown on the dual display and can be continuously adjusted.
The laboratory power supply is overload and short-circuit-proof and contains a safety
temperature cut-off. The laboratory power supply is designed in compliance with protection
class 1. It is only approved for connection to shockproof sockets with protective earthing and a
standard domestic alternating current of 100 to 240 V/AC.
Operation under adverse ambient conditions is not permitted. Adverse conditions include:
•
Wetness or high humidity
•
Dust and flammable gases, vapours or solvents
•
Thunderstorms or similar conditions such as strong electrostatic fields, etc.
For safety and approval purposes, do not rebuild and/or modify this product. Using the product
for purposes other than those described above may damage the components. In addition,
improper use can cause hazards such as a short-circuit, fire or electric shock. Read the
operating instructions carefully and store them in a safe place. Only make this product available
to third parties together with its operating instructions.
