1.4 Operation Instruction

After power-on, it will show boot image first, and then enters the main page. We use RD6012 as example to introduce how to use it.

1.4.1 Main Page

1.4.2Operation Introduction

In the menu operation, the icon in red or cursor is the currently selected menu, the icon in blue is not selected, pressENTERto confirm, press the encoder potentiometer to cancel or return, press the direction button to move the cursor or switch menu, rotate the encoder potentiometer to change the setting, the settings will be automatically saved when returning from the menu page. Press and hold the 0 button and power on to restore the factory settings, press and hold the 1 button and power on to restore the factory calibration value, press and hold ENTER and power on to enter the boot mode.

1.4.2.1 Battery Charging Function Introduction

Battery charging operation video：https://youtu.be/irTbqfqtgU0

After power-on, at battery related information display area, external temperature, capacity and energy will loop display. When there is output current: capacity, energy automatically accumulated, and automatically cleared after shutdown.

The green terminal is connected to the positive pole of the battery, and the black terminal is connected to the negative pole of the battery. After the battery is correctly connected, the battery charging indicator turns red and the battery is connected. Press ON/OFF to start charging, the battery charging indicator turns green. When the actual output current is lower than 0.1A (10mA for RD6006), the output will be shut down automatically. Battery with protection board need to be charged with red and black terminals. The charging voltage and current should be set on your own. When the charging function is not in use, you can connect the green and black terminals with a cable to prevent interference with the battery detection terminal and accidentally turn off the output.

It is strongly recommended to use the original charger to charge the battery. The charging function of this machine can only serve as a temporary replacement, not for long-term use. There is a risk of fire and explosion during the charging process. Non-professionals should not operate.

4.3Functions Introduction

The PC software interface mainly has basic functions, firmware upgrade, Logo upgrade, version update detection and language setting...

4.3.1 Basic Functions

PC software operation video:https://youtu.be/mjt1RMaah1Y

The basic functions of PC software: voltage/current preset, data group quick call out, calibration fine tuning, brightness setting, voltage and current curve exporting. You can rotate the wheel or enter the value to set the voltage and current, the graph above the button shows the real-time voltage and current curve. You can zoom in and out the curve by using the mouse wheel, double click the curve to auto adjusts the axis, you can right click on the curve to clean the curve or export the curve data to picture or excel.

4.3.2Calibration

The calibration fine-tuning function needs to be operated by a professional electronic person who has more than five and a half multimeter. It will change the system setting, incorrect operation may exceeds the hardware limit and cause damage, and the resulting damage is not covered by the warranty! The limit error of the product is generally much smaller than the nominal error, when the error is close to or even higher than the nominal error, you need to check if the measuring instrument is accurate.

RD6006 calibration operation video:https://youtu.be/c9sn1wY2mjE

Click“Calibration”and enter the password “168168”, you can enter the Calibration Fine Tuning page(if you enter the password, by default you have accepted the above red letter agreement).It can read the calibration data after connection; click the arrow to fine tuning the data. According to the linear function y=kx+b, the constant b is equivalent to the zero value, the slope k is equivalent to the proportional value, adjust this two values so that the data will be close to the real test value.

Set the output voltage at 1V, adjust the output voltage zero point to make the multimeter display close to 1V, and then set the output voltage at 30V, adjust the output voltage proportional value to make the multimeter display close to 30V. In the same way you can set 0.1A and 3A output current to calibrate the zero point and proportional value of the output current.

Set the output voltage at 1V and calibrate the actual output voltage zero point to make the actual output voltage displayed on RD6012 close to the value on multimeter. You can set 30V and calibrate the proportional value of actual output voltage. In the same way you can set 0.1A and 3A to calibrate the zero point and proportional value of the actual output current.(This section does not provide technical support. If you do not understand, please check the related information).

4.3.3Advanced Function

You can set the output voltage and current by chart in the advanced function page, you can set every step between 1 and 9999 seconds, you can set 200 steps max, it can output automatically or manually. You cannot choose other operation page when it performs programming output or other operations, you can only switch other page when it ends.
