The FS-600R features a simple terminal block for input and output connections. Below is the pin configuration:

1. Input Connection:

   • Connect the AC input terminals (L and N) to a 100–240V AC power source.
   • Ensure the ground (GND) terminal is properly connected to the earth for safety.

2. Output Connection:

   • Connect the +V terminal to the positive input of your load or circuit.
   • Connect the -V terminal to the ground of your load or circuit.

3. Power On:

   • After verifying all connections, switch on the AC power supply.
   • The FS-600R will provide a stable 12V DC output to your connected load.

4. Load Considerations:

   • Ensure the total current drawn by the load does not exceed 5A.
   • For optimal performance, operate the FS-600R within its specified temperature range.

• Always double-check the polarity of the output connections to avoid damage to your load.
• Use appropriate fuses or circuit breakers on the input side for added protection.
• Avoid exposing the FS-600R to excessive heat, moisture, or dust.
• If using the FS-600R with sensitive electronics, consider adding additional filtering capacitors to the output for enhanced stability.

The FS-600R can be used to power an Arduino UNO by connecting its 12V DC output to the Arduino's VIN and GND pins. Below is an example code to blink an LED connected to the Arduino:

// Example code to blink an LED using Arduino UNO powered by FS-600R

const int ledPin = 13; // Pin connected to the onboard LED

void setup() {
  pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT); // Set the LED pin as an output
}

void loop() {
  digitalWrite(ledPin, HIGH); // Turn the LED on
  delay(1000);                // Wait for 1 second
  digitalWrite(ledPin, LOW);  // Turn the LED off
  delay(1000);                // Wait for 1 second
}

Note: Ensure the FS-600R's output voltage is within the Arduino's acceptable input range (7–12V on VIN).

1. Can the FS-600R power multiple devices simultaneously?
   Yes, as long as the total current drawn by all devices does not exceed 5A.

2. What happens if the load exceeds 5A?
   The FS-600R's overcurrent protection will activate, shutting down the output to prevent damage.

3. Can I use the FS-600R outdoors?
   The FS-600R is not weatherproof. Use it only in dry, indoor environments.

4. Is the FS-600R compatible with 24V systems?
   No, the FS-600R provides a fixed 12V DC output and is not suitable for 24V systems.

By following this documentation, users can effectively integrate the FS-600R into their projects and ensure reliable operation.
