Безбедносне информације и важне напомене

• Улазни волtagе Захтев: Улазни волtagНапон е мора бити најмање 1.5 В већи од жељеног излазног напона.tage. This module is a buck (step-down) converter and cannot boost voltage.
• Поларитет: 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.
• електрична безбедност: Always disconnect power before making any connections or adjustments. Exercise caution when working with electrical circuits.

Карактеристике производа

• DC-DC step-down module with integrated LED digital voltmeter.
• Thickened circuit boards and advanced solid-state capacitors for stable performance.
• Short circuit and over-temperature protection.
• Подесиви излазни волtage via a multi-turn potentiometer.
• Display can show either input or output voltage.

Подешавање и везе

Before connecting the module, ensure all power sources are disconnected.

1. Идентификујте терминале: Locate the "IN+" (Input Positive), "IN-" (Input Negative), "OUT+" (Output Positive), and "OUT-" (Output Negative) screw terminals on the module.
2. Улазна веза: 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. Излазна веза: 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. Инитиал Волtagе Подешавање: 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 voltagе се приказује.

Упутство за употребу

Волtagе Подешавање

Излазни волtage is adjusted using the blue multi-turn potentiometer located on the module.

• Use a small screwdriver to turn the screw on the potentiometer.
• Окретање у смеру казаљке на сату will generally повећати оутпут волtage.
• Окретање супротном смеру казаљке на сату will generally смањити оутпут волtage.
• Напомена: 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 voltagе читања.

• ON/OFF Button (Left Button):
  • Кратки притисак: 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):
  • Кратки притисак: 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. Уђите у режим калибрације: 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. Калибришите јачину звука улазаtage: 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. Калибрација излазне јачине звукаtage: 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. Сачувај калибрацију: 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 voltagе режим приказа.

Решавање проблема

• Но Оутпут Волtage / Display Off:
  • Check input power supply connections and ensure it is within the 4V-40V range.
  • Verify input polarity.
  • Ensure the left "ON/OFF" button has been short-pressed to activate the display.
• Оутпут Волtage Not Adjusting:
  • Potvrdite unos voltage 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.
• Прегревање модула:
  • Reduce the output current or power draw.
  • Обезбедите одговарајућу вентилацију око модула.
  • Consider adding a heat sink if operating continuously near the maximum current/power limits (2A or 15W).
• Нетачно очитавање волтметра:
  • Perform the voltmeter calibration procedure detailed in this manual.
  • Ensure connections to the external multimeter are secure and accurate during calibration.
