How to Use the HDR-60-12 in a Circuit

  1. Mounting: Securely mount the HDR-60-12 on a DIN rail (TS-35/7.5 or TS-35/15) in your enclosure or control panel.
  2. Input Connection:
    • Connect the AC line (L) and neutral (N) wires to the input terminals.
    • Optionally, connect the frame ground (FG) terminal to the earth ground for safety.
  3. Output Connection:
    • Connect the positive (+V) and negative (-V) terminals to your load or circuit.
    • Ensure the load does not exceed the maximum output current of 5A.
  4. Power On:
    • After verifying all connections, power on the AC input to activate the power supply.
    • Measure the output voltage with a multimeter to confirm it is 12V DC before connecting sensitive devices.

Important Considerations and Best Practices

  • Load Requirements: Ensure the total load does not exceed 60W or 5A to prevent overloading.
  • Ventilation: Install the power supply in a well-ventilated area to avoid overheating.
  • Wiring: Use appropriately rated wires for both input and output connections.
  • Protection: The HDR-60-12 includes built-in protections, but external fuses or circuit breakers are recommended for additional safety.
  • Polarity: Double-check the polarity of the output connections to avoid damaging connected devices.

Example: Connecting to an Arduino UNO

The HDR-60-12 can be used to power an Arduino UNO via its VIN pin. Below is an example:

  1. Connect the +V terminal of the HDR-60-12 to the VIN pin of the Arduino UNO.

void setup() {
  pinMode(13, OUTPUT); // Set pin 13 as an output
}

void loop() {
  digitalWrite(13, HIGH); // Turn the LED on
  delay(1000);            // Wait for 1 second
  digitalWrite(13, LOW);  // Turn the LED off
  delay(1000);            // Wait for 1 second
}

Troubleshooting and FAQs

Common Issues and Solutions

  1. No Output Voltage:

    • Verify the AC input connections (L and N) are correct and securely connected.
    • Check if the input voltage is within the specified range (85-264V AC).
    • Ensure the load does not exceed the maximum output current of 5A.
  2. Overheating:

    • Ensure the power supply is installed in a well-ventilated area.
    • Check for any obstructions around the ventilation openings.
    • Reduce the load if it is near the maximum rated power.
  3. Output Voltage Fluctuations:

    • Verify the input voltage is stable and within the specified range.
    • Check for loose connections on the output terminals.
    • Ensure the load is not causing excessive current draw.
  4. Short Circuit Protection Triggered:

    • Disconnect the load and inspect for any short circuits in the connected circuit.
    • After resolving the issue, power cycle the HDR-60-12 to reset the protection.

FAQs

Q: Can the HDR-60-12 be used outdoors?
A: The HDR-60-12 is not weatherproof and should only be used in indoor or enclosed environments.

Q: What happens if the load exceeds 5A?
A: The built-in overload protection will activate, shutting down the output to prevent damage. Reduce the load and power cycle the unit to restore operation.

Q: Can I use the HDR-60-12 to charge a 12V battery?
A: The HDR-60-12 is not designed as a battery charger. Use a dedicated battery charger for this purpose.

Q: Is the HDR-60-12 compatible with 24V systems?
A: No, the HDR-60-12 outputs a fixed 12V DC and is not suitable for 24V systems. Use a 24V power supply for such applications.
