Safety & Warnings
The following safety precautions apply to both operating and maintenance personnel and must be observed during all phases of operation, service, and repair of this instrument:
1. Ground the Instrument: The instrument chassis and cabinet must be connected to an electrical ground to minimize shock hazard. This is achieved through the ground conductor of the supplied three-conductor AC power cable, which must be plugged into an approved three-conductor electrical outlet. Altering the ground connection can result in electric shock.
2. Do Not Operate in an Explosive Atmosphere: The instrument should not be operated in the presence of flammable gases or fumes, as this constitutes a safety hazard.
3. Keep Away from Live Circuits: Instrument covers should not be removed by operating personnel. Component replacement and internal adjustments should only be made by qualified maintenance personnel. The power cord should be disconnected before removing instrument covers and replacing components. Dangerous voltages may still exist even with the power cable removed, so circuits should be discharged before touching them.
4. Do Not Service or Adjust Alone: Internal service or adjustments should not be attempted unless another person capable of rendering first aid and resuscitation is present.
5. Do Not Substitute Parts or Modify the Instrument: Unauthorized modifications or the installation of substitute parts should be avoided. The instrument should be returned to B&K Precision for service and repair to maintain safety features.
Warnings and Cautions:
– A WARNING statement indicates a procedure, practice, or condition that could result in injury or death if not followed correctly.
– A CAUTION statement indicates a procedure, practice, or condition that could result in damage to or destruction of the product if not followed correctly.
Specific warnings include:
– Do not alter the ground connection to avoid electric shock.
– Disconnect the power cord before removing covers to avoid electrical shock hazard. Servicing should be referred to qualified personnel.
Specific cautions include:
– Check the rear panel AC line voltage indicator before connecting the line cord to the AC mains. Using an incorrect line voltage can destroy the AC line fuses. Replace fuses only with those of the specified voltage and current ratings for continued fire protection.
– Follow proper procedures for handling, storing, and transporting parts and subassemblies containing ESD-sensitive components to avoid damage.

Bk-precision-4014b-instruction MANUAL Overview
The Bk-precision-4014b is a versatile programmable linear DC power supply designed for laboratory, industrial, and educational applications. It provides a stable and adjustable output voltage and current, making it ideal for testing, development, and repair of electronic circuits and devices. With precise control and reliable performance, this power supply supports a wide range of power requirements up to 40V and 14A.
Main Features and Specifications
- Output Voltage: 0 – 40 V DC
- Output Current: 0 – 14 A
- Programmable voltage and current settings with digital display
- Low ripple and noise for sensitive electronic testing
- Overvoltage and overcurrent protection
- Compact and durable design with efficient heat dissipation
- Multiple operation modes including constant voltage (CV) and constant current (CC)
- Remote sensing capability to compensate for voltage drop
Basic Usage and Operation Tips
Before powering on the Bk-precision-4014b, ensure all connections are secure and the load is properly connected. Use the front panel controls to set the desired voltage and current limits. Start with low voltage and current settings and gradually increase as needed. Monitor the digital display to verify output parameters. Utilize the constant voltage mode for voltage-sensitive applications and constant current mode when current regulation is critical. Always allow the device to cool down after extended use to maintain optimal performance.
Troubleshooting and Maintenance
If the power supply fails to output voltage, check the fuse and ensure the input power source is active. Verify that the load is connected correctly and not short-circuited. In case of unexpected shutdowns, inspect for overheating or overcurrent conditions. Regularly clean the ventilation grills to prevent dust buildup and ensure proper cooling. Avoid exposing the unit to moisture or extreme temperatures to prolong its lifespan.
Safety Reminder
Always operate the Bk-precision-4014b in a dry, well-ventilated area. Avoid contact with live terminals to prevent electric shock. Disconnect the power supply from the mains before performing any maintenance. Use appropriate protective equipment when handling electrical devices and follow all local safety regulations.
