Now how do I adjust the pots? Voltage should be easy, just connect it to the power supply unloaded and adjust the voltage pot until a voltmeter reads the desired voltage.But amps...The ammeter won't read anything without a load attached. So do I attach it to a load with a higher rated draw than what my intended setting is, then adjust until the ammeter reads the desired amps?

If you give us a hit what it supposed to do and where you got it, someone might be able to help. It look like a DC Buck/boost, and as such, you are setting an output voltage and a current limit. Set the voltage where you want it and turn the I limit down until it shuts off. Then go back a little. Matt

I probably should have just continued on the previous thread, it would have made more sense. Anyway, you are right, it is a DC buck/boost.

In about the center, there looks to be two dip switches. Looks like "in- check" with voltage next to it. Yes, it looks like a bucking and boosting type regulator.What is the Drok model number?

This is the model:DROK® 600W 12A DC Boost Voltage Converter 12-60V to 12-80V Step-up Power Supply Transformer
