Assembly hints 1. Assembly (Skipping this can lead to troubles ! ) Ok, so we have your attention. These hints will help you to make this project successful. Read them carefully. 1.1 Make sure you have the right tools: A good quality soldering iron (25-40W) with a small tip. Wipe it often on a wet sponge or cloth, to keep it clean; then apply solder to the tip, to give it a wet look. This is called ‘thinning’ and will protect the tip, and enables you to make good connections.
Assembly hints 1.3 Soldering Hints : 1- Mount the component against the PCB surface and carefully solder the leads 2- Make sure the solder joints are cone-shaped and shiny 3- Trim excess leads as close as possible to the solder joint REMOVE THEM FROM THE TAPE ONE AT A TIME ! DO NOT BLINDLY FOLLOW THE ORDER OF THE COMPONENTS ONTO THE TAPE.

Test 14. Test Connect the supplied 4k7 resistor between the + and - points of the load. Connect the Vref point to the DC input. Set preset RV3 to the middle of its adjustment range. Connect a DC voltage between 8 and 35V with the points +V and GND. Measure between the + and - points of LOAD with a voltmeter (set to read DC voltage). If everything goes well then the voltage on the output can be adjusted with RV2. Fig 1.
Different configurations 15. Different configurations Figure A : K8004 DC LOAD + LOAD Standard configuration, use a separate control voltage. - POWER SUPPLY (8...35VDC) - - GND GND + + +V DCIN - + DC CONTROL VOLTAGE (max. 35V) Figure B : K8004 +V + LOAD Connection to one of the analogue outputs of the K8000 interface card. If DAC1 is used then the circuit can be controlled with the demo program, "dimmer". The circuit can also be tested with the test program of the K8000.
Setting up 16. Setting up RV1: setting the minimum output voltage. Set the control voltage to zero (perhaps by disconnecting it). An initial pre-voltage can then be adjusted using preset RV1. This is especially useful with motors (in order to overcome mechanical resistance) and with halogen lamps (in order to pre-heat the filament). RV2: setting the maximum output voltage. Set the control voltage to the maximum voltage that you are going to use.
