The Tech Shop provides a few different DC Power Supply's:
Triple Output DC Power Supply
DC Power Supply (100V, 0.4A, 40W)
DC Power Supply (20V, 2A, 40W)
If you would like a manual, it can be found here
This machine can output up to three power supplies, each with a different voltage(V)/amp(A).
The three different outputs have their limitations:
Yellow: Max output of 6V and 5A
Green/Blue: Max output of 25V and 1A
There are two different SINGLE output DC power supply's, each with a different voltage output:
100V, 0.4A, 40W
20V, 2A, 40W
Depending on the max amount of amperage [A] you need will normally dictate which supply you should use out of the two
HOW TO USE
The circuit in the photo is a simple circuit with a resistor(1kΩ) and an LED connected through a breadboard, the leads on the ends is how we will supply the votage
Normally we could use a 9V battery, but in this case we will supply those 9V with the DC output power supply
Step 1: Turn on the power supply with the power button on the lower left of the machine
Step 2: Take the banana to alligator leads in the drawer (ex of the leads are to the right)
The leads may be covered with an attachment, you can take this off
Step 3: On output two (the green ones), Insert the black lead (negative) into the black terminal on the power supply, and insert the red lead (positive) into the red terminal
We are using output two (green) because the yellow output can only output 6V and we need 9V
Step 4: Connect the leads to the breadboard, positive (red) to positive (red wire) on the breadboard, and negative (black) to negative (black wire) on the breadboard
Step 5: Press the green "2" button near the top of the machine to change the channel voltage. Make sure the voltage is highlighted green and enter in 9V using the number pad and hit enter
Step 6: Press the green "On" button next to the green channel outputs to send the voltage to the circuit
Step 7: Congrats! (assuming everything went well and the LED lights up) You now have used a DC power supply to power a circuit! WARNING: components in the circuit may be hot, so be cautious when deconstructing the circuit
Step 8: To clean up:
Press the green "On" button to stop sending voltage to the circuit
Turn off the DC power supply
Disconnect the leads and place them back in the drawer
Make sure the circuit is deconstructed or taken away from the bench
