10. Probleemoplossing

If you encounter issues with your converter, consider the following:

• Geen Uitset Voltage:
  • Gaan inset voltage om te verseker dat dit binne die 8V-35V-reeks is.
  • Verify input polarity (Red to +, Black to -).
  • Check for short circuits in the output wiring or load. The device has short-circuit protection, which may temporarily shut down output.
  • Ensure the load does not exceed 3A/15W.
• Uitset Voltage is Unstable or Incorrect:
  • Bevestig invoer voltage stabiliteit.
  • Kyk vir los verbindings.
  • Ensure the device is not overheating. Over-temperature protection may reduce output.
• Toestel oorverhit:
  • Ensure adequate ventilation around the converter.
  • Reduce the load if it is consistently near the maximum limits.
