User manual
• Unplug the mains plug from the mains socket if you do not use the device for an
extended period of time.
• Disconnect the mains plug from the mains socket in thunderstorms for reasons
of safety.
• Make sure that the mains cable is not squeezed, bent, damaged by sharp edges
or put under mechanical stress. Avoid excessive thermal stress on the mains
cable from extreme heat or cold. Do not modify the mains cable. Otherwise the
mains cable may be damaged. A damaged mains cable can cause a deadly
electric shock.
• Do not touch the mains cable if it is damaged. First, power down the respective
mains socket (e.g. via the respective circuit breaker) and then carefully pull the
mains plug from the mains socket. Never use the product if the mains cable is
damaged.
• A damaged mains cable may only be replaced by the manufacturer, a workshop
commissioned by the manufacturer or a similarly qualied person, so as to prevent
any danger.
• Never plug in or unplug the mains plug when your hands are wet.
• Consult an expert when in doubt about operation, safety or connection of the
device.
• Maintenance, modications and repairs are to be performed exclusively by an
expert or at a qualied shop.
• If you have questions which remain unanswered by these operating instructions,
contact our technical support service or other technical personnel.

Operation
Ensure you have read specialist literature on setting up circuits before working
with the breadboard. Improper use can lead to destruction of components and the
breadboard.
In schools, training facilities, hobby or self-service workshops, handling of electrical
devices must be monitored by trained personnel.
Connect the breadboard to a mains power supply outlet.
The electrical connections are made as follows:
Keep things orderly when working. We recommend using the specied designations
(+/-) so as to ensure a successful set-up of the circuit.
1. Make sure the device is turned off. The on/off switch (1) must be in the off position (0).
2. For a constant positive power supply:
- Connect a suitable cable to the screwed connection (4) +5 V/1 A. Connect the other end
of the cable to the desired plug array (+).
- Connect a suitable cable to the ground connection (3). Connect the other end of the cable
to the corresponding negative plug array (-).
3. For a variable positive power supply:
- Connect a suitable cable to the screwed connection (5) 0~ +15 V. Connect the other end
of the cable to the desired plug array (+).
- Connect a suitable cable to the ground connection (3). Connect the other end of the cable
to the corresponding negative plug array (-).
- The voltage can thus be set with the rotary switch V+ (8). Measure the voltage level with
a suitable measuring instrument to determine the required voltage.
Operating instructions
Breadboard with 230 V Power Supply
Item no. 1572236
Intended use
The product is for the mechanical attachment and electrical connection of active and passive
components. It is suitable for the experimental set-up of circuits, such as for hobbies and model
construction and use in laboratories, industry, universities and schools. You can thus test your
circuit set-up, for example, before implementing it on a printed circuit board. A power supply
is integrated via a mains cable so that the circuit can be immediately tested with constant or
variable DC voltage.
It is intended for indoor use only. Do not use it outdoors. Contact with moisture, e.g. in
bathrooms, must be avoided under all circumstances.
For safety and approval purposes, you must not rebuild and/or modify this product. If you use
the product for purposes other than those described above, the product may be damaged.
In addition, improper use can cause hazards such as short circuiting, re, electric shock etc.
Read the instructions carefully and keep them. Make this product available to third parties only
together with its operating instructions.
This product complies with the statutory national and European requirements. All company
