Assembly Instructions

C6724 O.I?UDC POWER SUPPLY KIT

AS$EMBLY IIISTRUGTIOI{S
1 . Assemble per parts layout (Figure 1),
parts
list and schematic (Figure 2) using resin or rosin core solder only. (Acid
core
solder or acid fluxes will ruin the kit.)
2. lnstall diodes D1 to D4 observing cathode band for correct
placement.
Notice that the cathode of D3 and D4 is pointing
toward the bottom of the board and the cathode of D1 and D2 toward the top.
3. Install the resistors
per parts layout, parts
list and color code. lnstall also the pigtail
fuse F1.
4. Install the electrolytic capacitors C'l and C2 observing
polarity.
The negative lead of the capacitor is the shortest one.
5, Install LED L1 with the flat side ol the lens (and the short lead) in the direction indicated by the black half moon in the
parts
layout.
6. Installthe heatsink, using the provided
boltand nut, in the tab of transistor 01 as shown in Figure 5. Then installtransistor
Q'l to the board with the tab and heatsink in the direction shown in the
parts
layout.
.7. Cut the
provided
wire into six equal pieces. Install potentiometer P1 to the board, as shown. Also connect two pieces
of
insulated wire to the DC outputs of the power
supply (+ and
-
points
on
parts
layout.)
8. Install transformer T1 to the board. Make sure that the transformer is positioned
as in the parts
layout, making sure that
the color of the wires are in the correct location before soldering. After soldering, aftach the transformer to the PC board
using the supplied double stick tape against the transformer's metal laminations,
9. Connect one lead of the line cord to the PC board and one lead of the line cord to the switch. Now use a
piece
of wire to
connect the other lead of the switch to the PC board as shown.
10. Before testing REMEMBER to use extreme CAUTI0N when using a kit that connects to the AC line, like this one. NEVER
use itsutsides+near vrater and alwaysmount theentirc*it insideraloodenor plastic-(insulated)
boxtogeventany contaet
with the AC voltage.
Testing:
To test this project,
set the 0-12VDC Power Supply 0n an insulated surface and
plug
the line cord into an AC outlet. The LED
L1 should light, Now connect a DC voltmeter to the DC outputs and rotate the shaft of
potentiometer
P1 from one side to
the other. The output voltage should vary between 0 and approximately 19 volts without load. In normal operation the
transformer, resistor R2 and transistor Ql will
get
hot and
potentiometer
P'l will
get
warm. This
power
supply is
prstected
from a temporary shortcircuit on its outputs and will supply over 100mA at 12 volts and 200mAat 9 volts or less. lt is ideal
for powering most small battery operated electronic devices.
