Introduction Congratulations on selecting Extech's Model 382203 (analog) or 382213 (digital) Regulated DC Power Supply. The 382203 and 382213 are solid state, compact, well regulated supplies suitable for many applications including bench testing, field service, hobby and telecommunication equipment use. Specifications Display 382203 382213 Dual Analog Metering Dual 3-digit LCD Displays Voltage Output, DC 0-30V Current Output, DC 0 - 3 Amps Current Limiting Indicator Status LED Accuracy ± 7% Full Scale Ripple and Noise < 5mV Line Regulation Fixed Output Voltage ± 1% Full Scale + 2 digits < 0.05% + 10mV 5V / 0.5A (continuous); 1A (max.) 12V / 0.5A (continuous); 1A (max.) Power Dimensions 110/220VAC 50/60Hz (switchable) 6 x 5.6 x 9.5" (152 x 142 x 242mm) (WxHxD) Weight 10 lbs. (4.5 kgs) 2 Meter Description 1. Voltage and Current LCD displays 2. Current limit status LED 3. Power switch with status LED 4. 5V & 12V fixed output terminals 5. Output terminals for variable supply 6. Variable voltage and current adjustment knobs 1 2 3 4 5 6 Note: The Model 382213 (LCD metering) is shown above. The Model 382203 (shown on the cover page) uses analog metering. Operation 1. The Power Supply must be powered using the rated line voltage (110V or 220V) within + 5%. 2. Before turning the power supply ON, remove all connected loads and set the Voltage Adjustment Knob to the full counter-clockwise position (0V DC output). 3. To operate the power supply as a constant current supply, the current output should be set between 10% and 100% of the rated value (3A). The Current Limiting Indicator will light when the current limiting circuit is activated. 4. Use the Current and Voltage Adjustment knobs for setting variable Current and Voltage output signals respectively. Use Variable Output Terminals for connections. 5. For 5VDC and 12VDC outputs, use the Fixed Output Terminals. 6. The analog or digital displays will indicate actual current and voltage outputs. 7. Keep the meter's cooling vents (top and sides) clear of obstacles to prevent overheating. 3 Calibration and Repair Services Extech offers complete repair and calibration services for all of the products we sell.
