5. Installation

  1. Préparer la source d'alimentation : Ensure the power source (e.g., USB charger, power bank) you intend to test is within the operating voltagla gamme de DC 4-25.0V.
  2. Connect the Load Tester:
    • For standard USB power sources: Plug the USB male port of the LD25 directly into the USB output port of your charger or power bank.
    • For Micro USB or Type-C cables/devices: Connect the Micro USB or Type-C port of the LD25 to the respective cable or device.
  3. Vérifiez la connexion : Once connected, the 4-digit LED display should illuminate, indicating the device is powered on. If it does not power on, check the connection and ensure the power source is active.
  4. Initial Current Setting: Before applying a load, ensure the adjustable potentiometer is set to a low current or off position to avoid sudden high current draw.

6. Mode d'emploi

6.1 Fonctionnement de base

  1. Marche/Arrêt :
    • Appuyez brièvement sur le Touche ON/OFF to toggle the load output on or off.
    • Appuyez longuement sur le Touche ON/OFF to set the default boot state (output on or off) for future use.
  2. Courant de réglage : Faites pivoter le Potentiomètre réglable to increase or decrease the discharge current. The current value will be displayed on the LED screen. Adjust gradually to the desired load.
  3. Modes d'affichage: Appuyez brièvement sur le SET clé to cycle through the display modes: Voltage (V), Courant (A) et Puissance (W).
  4. Setting Protection Modes: Appuyez longuement sur le SET clé to enter the protection setting menu. Refer to Section 7 for details on protection functions.

6.2 Fonctionnement intelligent du ventilateur de refroidissement

The intelligent cooling fan will automatically activate under the following conditions to maintain optimal operating temperature:

  • When the discharge current exceeds 2A.
  • When the internal temperature of the device exceeds 40°C.

The fan supports continuous 25W discharge and ensures uninterrupted operation by efficiently dissipating heat.

7. Fonctions de protection et dépannage

The LD25 USB Load Tester incorporates several protection mechanisms to ensure safe operation and prevent damage to the device and connected equipment.

  • OVP (survoltaget Protection) :
    • Activates if the input voltage exceeds 25V (up to 30V).
    • The digital display will show "OVP".
    • Prudence: Voltages exceeding 30V can cause permanent damage.
  • OTP (Over-Temperature Protection):
    • Activates if the load temperature exceeds 80°C.
    • The device will stop working, and the digital display will show "OTP".
  • OPP (Over-Power Protection):
    • Activates if the discharge power exceeds 25W.
    • The device will stop working, and the digital display will show "OPP".

When a protection condition is met, the device will halt operation. To resume, address the underlying issue (e.g., reduce voltage, allow cooling, reduce power draw) and then manually or automatically reset the load as configured.
