4 Switching On/Off Remotely

The PSU turns on automatically by plugging it into the mains. However, it also has a 3-pin port
which can be used to remotely power the PSU on and off.
Remote On/Off Method 1: Use the physical power switch to control ON/OFF and GND lines,

closing the circuit turns the machine on, and breaking the circuit turns the machine off.
Remote On/Off Method 2: 5V sb PSU supports an external MCU, which controls a transistor
or MOSFET to manage the ON/OFF pins to switch the PSU ON/OFF remotely. The PSU will
turn on once power is provided to the 5V sb pin.

7 Precautions for Use

1. Before using the PSU, please ensure that the voltage and power outputs are compatible
with your equipment.
2. Please ensure that the PSU appears to be in good shape and has not suffered damage in
transit. If the exterior of the PSU appears damaged, do not use it.
3. Make sure that the metal cover for the PSU with on/off switch is properly grounded.
Improper grounding is dangerous.
4. The PSU must be installed in such a way that it receives good, unobstructed airflow.
Under no circumstances should the PSU be installed in an enclosed place.
5. When installing the PSU, please double check that the output polarities are the correct
way round, and that the screws are fastened securely in place.
6. Do not attempt maintenance on any wiring while the PSU is powered up from the mains.
7. Running the PSU at <80% load or below can greatly prolong the life of the PSU. Usually,
for every 10ºC above the rated amount, the life of the PSU is cut in half.
