This manual provides detailed instructions for the DROK REES-1822 DC Buck Converter. This module is an adjustable step-down voltage regulator designed to convert a higher DC input voltage to a lower, stable DC output voltage. It features an LCD display for real-time monitoring of input/output voltage, current, and power, along with constant voltage (CV) and constant current (CC) capabilities.

The module features an LCD display and several controls for easy operation:
6.1. Awọn bọtini
- Bọtini TAN/PA: Short press to toggle the output voltage ON or OFF. Long press to set the default power-on state (output ON or OFF).
- Bọtini IN/Jade: Short press to switch the LCD display between input voltage/current and output voltage/current. Long press to switch the display to show output current or output power.
6.2. Potentimeters
- CV (Ibakan Voltage) Potentiometer: Rotate clockwise to increase the output voltage.
- CC (Constant Current) Potentiometer: Rotate clockwise to increase the setting current for over current protection.
6.3. Awọn itọkasi
- O wujade Voltage Atọka: Lights up when output voltage wa.
- Constant Current Indicator (Red): Lights up when the load current reaches the set current limit.

7.1. Nsopọ Agbara
- Connect your DC input power source to the IN + ati IN- terminals. Ensure correct polarity.
- Connect your load to the ODE+ ati Jade- terminals. Ensure correct polarity.
- Daju pe awọn input voltage is within the specified range (DC 5.3V-32V).
7.2. Siṣàtúnṣe iwọn Voltage (CV)
Before connecting a sensitive load, it is recommended to adjust the output voltage first:
- Agbara lori module.
- Lo awọn NI/ODE button to display the output voltage lori LCD.
- Yiyi awọn CV potentiometer (usually the one closer to the output terminals) clockwise to increase the output voltage or counter-clockwise to decrease it. Adjust to your desired voltage.
7.3. Adjusting Output Current (CC) / Over Current Protection
The CC potentiometer sets the maximum output current. When the load current reaches this set value, the constant current indicator (red LED) will light up, and the module will limit the current to prevent damage.
- Connect a multimeter in series with the output to measure current, or use a known resistive load.
- Yiyi awọn CC potentiometer (usually the one closer to the input terminals) clockwise to increase the current limit or counter-clockwise to decrease it.
- Adjust to your desired maximum current.
7.4. Setting Default Output State
To configure whether the output is ON or OFF by default when the module is powered on:
- With the module powered on, long press the Bọtini PA / PA until the display indicates the desired default state (e.g., "ON" or "OFF").
- The setting will be saved and applied on subsequent power-ups.

- Ko si Ijade Voltage:
- Check input power supply connections and ensure it is providing voltage laarin sakani pàtó.
- Verify the ON/OFF button has been pressed to enable the output.
- Rii daju igbewọle voltage is at least 0.8V higher than the desired output voltage.
- Unstable Output Voltage/Lọwọlọwọ:
- Check for loose wiring connections at both input and output terminals.
- Ensure the load is not exceeding the module's maximum current or power capabilities.
- If operating at high power, verify adequate heat dissipation. Overheating can lead to instability.
- Incorrect Display Readings:
- Compare readings with a calibrated multimeter. Small discrepancies (e.g., 0.1V) are sometimes normal for integrated displays.
- Ensure the IN/OUT button is pressed correctly to display the desired parameter (input/output voltage/current/power).
- Constant Current (CC) LED is ON unexpectedly:
- This indicates the output current has reached the limit set by the CC potentiometer. If this is not desired, increase the CC limit by rotating the CC potentiometer clockwise.
