   • For DC Power: Connect a 12V power source to the DC Input terminal located on the front panel.

2. Powering On:

   • If using AC power, check that the AC Input LED indicator on the front panel is green, confirming proper AC input.
   • If using DC power, verify that the DC Input LED indicator on the front panel is green.
   • If you'd like to hear the buzzer, press the Buzzer ON/OFF button.

3. Connecting Your Devices: The PD-4A offers multiple DC output terminals to connect your equipment.

   • Locate the DC output sockets on the rear panel, labeled as DC Out 12V 5A and DC Out 12V 10A.
   • Connect your devices to the appropriate DC output terminals. Match your device's power needs with the output.

4. Power Indicators and Protection: Each DC output terminal has its own LED indicator to show normal operation or any faults.

   • The PD-4A features auto-recovery fuse protection on each output terminal. This safeguards your connected devices.

5. Additional Features: The PD-4A incorporates a sequential power-on feature for each DC output terminal. It also has cooling fans to prevent overheating.
