4. Precaucions de seguretat
AVÍS: Si no es segueixen aquestes instruccions de seguretat, es poden produir incendis, descàrregues elèctriques o altres lesions o danys.
- Assegureu-vos que l'entrada voltage is within the specified range (DC 9V-36V). Exceeding this range can damage the device.
- Do not exceed the maximum output current of 3A or output power of 36W. Overloading the converter can lead to overheating and failure.
- This module does not have short-circuit protection. Exercise caution during wiring to prevent short circuits, which can cause damage to the converter and connected devices.
- Connect wiring strictly according to the provided instructions. Incorrect wiring can lead to malfunction or damage.
- Use appropriate wire gauges for input and output connections to ensure stable voltage and power delivery.
- Ensure proper ventilation if operating in enclosed spaces, although the aluminum shell aids in heat dissipation.
- Mantingueu el dispositiu lluny de materials inflamables.
- This is a non-isolated module; ensure proper grounding practices.
5. Pautes d'instal·lació
Follow these steps for proper installation of your DROK Boost Buck Converter:
- Preparació del cablejat: Identify the input wires (Red for positive, Black for negative) and output wires (Yellow for positive, Black for negative).
- Connexió d'entrada: Connect the red input wire to your DC power source's positive terminal (9V-36V). Connect the black input wire to the DC power source's negative terminal.
- Connexió de sortida: Connect the yellow output wire to the positive terminal of your 12V DC load. Connect the black output wire to the negative terminal of your 12V DC load.
- Mesura de filferro: Use short and thick input and output wires to minimize voltage drop and ensure sufficient power delivery to your load.
- Gestió de càrrega: If connecting multiple loads, ensure their combined current draw does not exceed 3A. Do not combine loads if there are multiple output wires from the converter.
- Power Margin: Always leave a margin for the power supply. For long-term stable operation, it is recommended to operate the converter at 80% or less of its maximum rated power (e.g., for 36W, aim for loads up to 28.8W).
- Muntatge: The converter features mounting ears with 0.16-inch diameter holes for secure installation. Mount the device in a location that allows for adequate heat dissipation.

6. Instruccions de funcionament
Once properly installed and wired according to the instructions in Section 5:
- Encès: Apply DC power within the 9V-36V range to the input terminals. The converter will automatically step up or step down the voltage to a stable 12V output.
- Càrrega del monitor: Ensure the connected load does not draw more than 3A. Continuous operation above the rated current can trigger over-current protection or lead to device failure.
- Condicions ambientals: The converter is designed for operation in temperatures from -25°C to 65°C and is IP67 waterproof, dust-proof, moisture-proof, and shock-proof. However, avoid prolonged exposure to extreme conditions beyond its specified limits.
7. Manteniment
The DROK Boost Buck Converter is designed for low maintenance. Follow these general guidelines to ensure its longevity:
- Inspecció periòdica: Periodically check all wiring connections to ensure they are secure and free from corrosion or damage.
- Neteja: If necessary, gently clean the exterior of the converter with a dry, soft cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
- Protecció del medi ambient: Despite its IP67 rating, avoid submerging the device in water for extended periods or exposing it to high-pressure water jets.
- Gestió de càrrega: Ensure the connected load remains within the specified limits to prevent undue stress on the converter.
8. Solució De Problemes
If you encounter issues with your DROK Boost Buck Converter, consider the following:
- Sense Vol de sortidatage:
- Verifiqueu el volum d'entradatage is present and within the 9V-36V range.
- Comproveu totes les connexions del cablejat per assegurar-vos que la polaritat sigui correcta i que el contacte sigui segur.
- Ensure the load is not short-circuited, as this module lacks short-circuit protection.
- Check if the converter has triggered its over-current or over-temperature protection. Disconnect power, allow it to cool, and reduce the load before reconnecting.
- Volum de sortida inestabletage:
- Ensure input wires are short and thick enough to prevent significant voltage gota.
- Verify the load current does not exceed 3A.
- Comproveu si hi ha connexions soltes.
- Sobreescalfament:
- Reduce the connected load to ensure it is within the recommended operating margin.
- Ensure the converter is mounted in a location with adequate airflow.
- Verify ambient operating temperature is within the specified range.
