6. Configuració
6.1 Alimentació del dispositiu
Connect the provided DC 12V/3A power supply to the device's power input port. Ensure the power switch on the device is in the OFF position before connecting. Once connected, you can turn the device ON using the power switch.
Figure 6.1: Power Control and Display. This image highlights the ON/OFF switch and the main display interface of the BW-600W-DK.
6.2 Connecting the Load/Battery
The BW-600W-DK supports both 2-wire and 4-wire connection methods. The 4-wire method provides higher measurement accuracy by separating voltage and current sensing lines, minimizing the impact of cable resistance.
Figure 6.2: 2-Wire and 4-Wire Connection Diagrams. Diagram (1) illustrates the simpler 2-wire connection, while Diagram (2) shows the more accurate 4-wire connection, separating voltage (V+, V-) and current (A+, A-) lines, located at the bottom of the image.
- Connexió de 2 fils: Connect the positive terminal of the battery/power supply to the A+ and V+ terminals, and the negative terminal to the A- and V- terminals. This method is simpler but may have slightly lower accuracy due to voltage drop across the current wires.
- Connexió de 4 fils: Connect the positive terminal of the battery/power supply to the A+ terminal and the negative terminal to the A- terminal for current flow. Separately, connect the positive terminal to the V+ terminal and the negative terminal to the V- terminal for voltage sensing. This method ensures that voltage measurements are not affected by current-carrying wires, providing higher precision.
The device features high-conductivity gold-plated terminals for reliable connections. Ensure all connections are secure before starting any test.

For connecting to the device, you may use banana plugs or alligator clips. Please note that while banana head accessories are shown for reference, they are not included in the standard package. Select appropriate banana heads and alligator clips for your testing needs.
