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 specified 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.

4.  For a variable negative power supply:

 - Connect a suitable cable to the screwed connection 0~ -15V (6). Connect the other end of the cable 

to the desired negative plug array (-).

 - Connect a suitable cable to the ground connection (3). Connect the other end of the cable to the 

corresponding positive plug array (+).

 - The voltage can thus be set with the rotary switch V- (7). Measure the voltage level with a suitable 

measuring instrument to determine the required voltage.

5.  Set up your circuit.

6.  Switch the power supply on with the on/off switch (1).

1.  The fuse compartment is located on the back of the breadboard, next to the power cord terminal.

2.  Use a Phillips screwdriver to open the fuse compartment.

3.  Take the old fuse out and replace it with a new one of the same type (230 V / 500 mA, slow blowing).

Electronic devices are recyclable waste and must not be disposed of in the household waste.

At the end of its service life, dispose of the product according to the relevant statutory regulations.

You thus fulfil your statutory obligations and contribute to the protection of the environment.

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.

The product may only be operated in a dry indoor environment.

For safety and approval purposes (CE), 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, fire, 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  names  and

•  Operating instructions

•  Make sure that the breadboard is switched off when you are building a circuit.

•  Make sure that the product is provided with adequate ventilation during operation.

•  Never pull the mains plug from the socket by pulling at the cable. Always pull it from the mains 

socket using the intended grips.

•  Unplug the mains plug from the mains socket if you do not use the device for an extended 

period of time.

•  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.

•  Never plug in or unplug the mains plug when your hands are wet.

•  The device is not a toy. Keep it out of the reach of children and pets.

•  Do not leave packaging material lying around carelessly. These may become dangerous 

playing material for children.

•  Protect  the  product  from  extreme  temperatures,  direct  sunlight,  strong  jolts,  high  humidity, 

moisture, flammable gases, vapours and solvents.

•  Do not place the product under any mechanical stress.

•  If it is no longer possible to operate the product safely, take it out of operation and protect it from 

any accidental use. Safe operation can no longer be guaranteed if the product:

 - is visibly damaged, 

 - is no longer working properly, 

 - has been stored for extended periods in poor ambient conditions or 

 - has been subjected to any serious transport-related stresses.

•  Please handle the product carefully. Jolts, impacts or a fall even from a low height can damage
