After setting it to CC, the constant current value is adjusted by default. When driving the LED, fast dimming can be achieved by rotating the encoder, which is very convenient!
2. Instructions for setting interface operation:
2.1. Press and hold the rotary encoder button for 3 seconds to enter the setting interface;
2.2. Adjust the size of parameters by rotating the encoder potentiometer, support rapid rotation (rapid increase/decrease), short press the rotary potentiometer button to switch the parameters to be adjusted;
2.3. In the maximum capacity (OAH)/maximum energy (OPH)/maximum operating time (OHP) interface, short press the “ON/OFF” button to select the corresponding function on or off, if it is off, it will display “—- “;
2.4. In the maximum capacity (OAH)/maximum energy (OPH) parameter interface, long press the “ON/OFF” button to select the capacity range (9.999Ah/99.99Ah/999.9Ah/9999Ah, 9.999Wh/99.99Wh/999.9Wh/9999Wh );
2.5. After the parameter setting is completed, press and hold the encoder potentiometer button for 3 seconds to exit the setting interface, and the setting parameters are automatically saved;
Note: After the product is protected, the output will be turned off, and the LCD will display the corresponding protection code (LVP/OVP/OCP/OPP/OAH/OPH/OHP). The power chip itself also has various protections. If the chip itself is protected, then Display OEP.
3. This product has a locking function:
Press and hold the encoder potentiometer button for 5 seconds to lock the set voltage and current to prevent misoperation! After locking, press and hold the coding potentiometer button for 5 seconds to unlock!
4. How to use the product:
4.1. Use as an ordinary buck-boost power supply with overvoltage/overcurrent/overpower/overtemperature/undervoltage protection;
(1) Set the voltage value.
(2) Set the constant current value (overcurrent protection value); (For example, if the constant current value is set to 3.00A, then the maximum current when you use the product can only reach 3A, and the LCD will display “CC” when the current reaches 3A status, otherwise the LCD displays “CV” status)
4.2. Use as a battery charger
Products without constant current function cannot be used to charge the battery. Due to the large voltage difference between the exhausted battery and the charger, the charging current is too large and the battery is damaged. Therefore, the battery should be used constant current at the beginning. When the charging reaches a certain level, it automatically switches back to constant voltage charging.
(1) Determine the floating charging voltage and charging current of the rechargeable battery you need; (if the lithium battery parameter is 3.7V/2200mAh, then the floating charging voltage is 4.2V, if it is a 12V rechargeable battery, generally set the floating charging voltage to 14V or so) (2) Under no-load conditions, set the voltage value to make the output voltage reach the floating voltage; (if charging a 3.7V lithium battery, adjust the output voltage to 4.2V) (3) Under no-load conditions, Set the constant current value (charging current of the battery); (4) Connect the battery and charge.
4.3. Used as LED constant current driver
(1) Determine the working current and maximum working voltage you need to drive the LED;
(2) Under no-load conditions, set the voltage value and current value to make the output voltage reach the maximum working voltage and working current of the LED;
(3) Connect the LED and test the machine.
This product can realize the stepless dimming of LEDs without stroboscopic by adjusting the constant current value (between 0 and working current)! !
5. Function details
5.1 Capacity/Energy/Runtime Statistics:
Statistics will start automatically after the power is turned on (ON), the value of the previous state will be displayed after the power is turned off (OFF), and the recording will automatically restart after the power is turned on (ON) again; on the corresponding interface, long press the ON/OFF button for 3 seconds to The corresponding data is automatically cleared.
5.2 Set max capacity/max energy/max run time
5.2.1. Set the maximum capacity (OAH)/energy (OPH): when the OAH/OPH function is activated, when the statistical capacity/energy is higher than the set maximum capacity/energy, the power supply will automatically turn off the output and flash “OAH” /’OPH’; After the alarm is cleared, the capacity/energy statistics are automatically cleared;
5.2.2. Set the maximum discharge time (OHP): When the OHP function is activated, when the power supply running time is greater than the set maximum discharge time, the power supply automatically turns off the output, and flashes “OHP”; after the OHP alarm is removed, the time is automatically cleared Statistical data;
This function can well realize quantitative/timed power supply.
Note: When the OAP/OPH and OHP functions are not turned on, the power supply will automatically record the capacity/energy and running time. After turning on the OAH/OPH and OHP functions, the power supply will automatically turn off the output when the set value is reached; after turning on the OHP function, the power supply The runtime is in countdown mode;
6. Notes:
6.1. It is forbidden to short-circuit the input VIN- of the module with the output OUT-, otherwise the constant current function will fail.
6.2. Please ensure that the power of the power supply is always greater than the power required by the output load!
6.3. If the module wants to output at full load, the input voltage should be more than 8V. When the input voltage is 5V, the output power is about 15W; the maximum current value of the module is 4A, which is limited by the maximum output power. For example, if the output is 18V, the current should not be greater than 2A. .
6.4. The module has input under-voltage protection function, the default is about 4.7V, when it is lower than this value, it will automatically disconnect the output, when the voltage is higher than 4.7V, it will automatically restore the output (Note: 4.7V is the voltage at the product port , when the input current is relatively large, do not ignore the voltage divider on the input wire).
