- Rotary Encoder (with push button): Used to turn the device on/off, adjust data values, and confirm selections.
- Botó BLOC: Locks the current settings to prevent accidental changes.
- Pantalla de color: Provides clear readings for voltage, current, power, capacity, energy, and temperature.
- Ventilador de refrigeració: Integrated fan for heat dissipation, activating when temperature exceeds 45°C.
3. Configuració i cablejat
Proper wiring is crucial for safe and accurate operation. The module requires a separate power supply for its operation and connections for the load being tested.
Figure 3: Wiring diagram illustrating connections for module power supply, voltage measurement, and current measurement. Note the distinction between small B+B- for voltage and large B+B- for current, utilizing a four-terminal measurement method.
- Module Power Supply: Connect a 6V-30V DC power source to the "GND VCC" terminals. Ensure correct polarity.
- Voltage Mesura: Use the small silk-screened "B+B-" terminals for voltage measurement. Connect these to the positive and negative terminals of the device or battery you wish to measure.
- Current Measurement (Load Connection): Use the large silk-screened "B+B-" terminals for current measurement and connecting the load. These terminals are designed for the discharge current path.
- Four-Terminal Measurement: The module uses a four-terminal measurement method for improved accuracy, separating voltage sensing from current carrying paths.
- Interfície RS485: The module includes an RS485 interface (labeled A, B, DA, DB) for potential data communication, though specific software or protocols are not detailed in this manual.
Important: Always ensure all connections are secure and correct before applying power to prevent damage to the module or the device under test.
4. Instruccions de funcionament
This section outlines the basic steps for operating the WEL3005 module for testing and discharge tasks.
4.1 Funcionament bàsic
- Encès: After connecting the module's power supply and the device under test as per the wiring diagram, the module will power on and display the main interface.
- Corrent d'ajust: Use the rotary encoder to adjust the desired discharge current. Press the encoder to confirm the setting or to start/stop a test.
- Navegació pels menús: Use the P1 and P2 buttons to switch between different display interfaces or menu options. The SET button typically enters the setting menu.
- Locking Settings: Press the LOCK button to prevent accidental changes to the current settings during a test.
4.2 Configuració dels paràmetres de protecció
The module features several protection functions to safeguard the device under test and the module itself.
- UndervoltagProtecció e (UVP): Adjustable from 1.5V to 30V. Set this to the minimum safe voltage for your battery or power source. The test will stop if the voltage drops below this threshold.
- Protecció de sobrealimentació (OPP): Adjustable from 1W to 30W. This prevents the module from exceeding its maximum power rating.
- Overheat Protection (OTP): The fan starts automatically when the internal temperature exceeds 45°C. The module will shut down if the temperature reaches 75°C to prevent damage.
Access these settings via the SET button and use the rotary encoder to adjust values.
