Many thanks for this video. The combination of RD6018, S-1200-65 and chassis S-800 great work 👍

[@TonyAlbus]

Thank you Tono!..

[@rdtech9153]

yes, they are combined into a high quality and cheaper power supply

[@peacemaker64r.]

Hi, The temperature sensor that you glued to the case is used to measure the temperature of the battery being charged.

[@TonyAlbus]

Thanks, yes i know now..

[@termitektermit7889]

Excellent review! Battery load with specific program (set manually) would be nice.

[@TonyAlbus]

Thank you! ,, yes that would be great, i have not been following this project for 3 years now that i made this video, maybe there are software/firmware updates. for battery testing i use the DL24 or DLB600, also have video on those.

[@allthegearnoidea6752]

POWER LOL. Hello Tony that’s a great review amazing the technology you can buy a low cost these days. Thanks for sharing regards Chris

[@TonyAlbus]

Thanks for watching Chris... yes that 'POWER' was a taken from a take that was useless, but i liked that part so put it in a few times :) Yes amazing what you can get.. need to fix the noise, its to much.

[@jeremiah0150]

Hi Tony i always watch you and im so jealous that you have this power supply. this is my dream power supply. But life is so hard i cant even afford to live. i hope someday i can get one like that too. pls dont stop making vids.

Current pricing March 2024 for the facia control module, the power supply and the case comes to $290 Canadian, plus taxes and border charges doesn’t make this a viable option.

The temperature sensor, is for battery charging, not for internal monitoring

[@TonyAlbus]

Thanks, then i will remove that... i am never going to use that.

[@comprotudo]

@@TonyAlbus Hi Tony, I use mine 6006 with sensor temperature inside and put a termo switch on power supply fan. As he has a fan on the box, the sensor controls it. For 360 watts max power he can handle, I have a 600 watts power supply. Just in case the Chinese watts are different from ours ones ah ah ah 73 Rodrigo ct1bxt

[@TonyAlbus]

Haha yes optimistic watts :). yes good plan! thans!

[@rdtech9153]

for now , it was just to measure the temeperature , because we did not finished the charging function , it was design for changing battery

[@makstex]

Set the current limiting to 10 mA, short circuit on the load. The current across the load with an external ammeter. You will be unpleasantly surprised.

[@TonyAlbus]

I Will try that, thanks!

[@sadfur8728]

When I tried it on mine, the current measured 30.9mA at 10mA setting. 50mA delivered 71.5mA 200mA was 230mA 500 530 1A 1.03 2A 2.02 5A 5.03. So basically there's about a 30mA offset. Just a bit of a calibration error, but it's not much of an issue, since any requirements for greater accuracy could just be measured and adjusted with external metering.

[@cmalc8]

Did you add temperature control for the stupid fan? Also, did you check constant current ability with the output shorted? (Max current protection setting is SHIFT + I-SET)

[@TonyAlbus]

Yes this kzbin.info/www/bejne/qnvQi2d4gZWppNE znd this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aaC2gHl4dr94p7M

[@b67fstb]

Tony . Did you know that Riden doesn't want you to take the Lincoiah PSU for their RD6018 , 6024 ?? Their is a vid from theit own youtube channel !!

[@TonyAlbus]

Yes i know, i think the advise came after my videos about the noise...

[@b67fstb]

@@TonyAlbus Tony.Last week I got a power supply from Lincoiah, 1200w, I connected the AC220v and no fan action !! It seems they alter their power supply ??

[@TonyAlbus]

@@b67fstb That is great news ! thank you for posting that here...

[@colinstamp9053]

To test the constant current mode on the Riden, set the load to constant resistance mode.

[@TonyAlbus]

Thanks Yes good idea!.

[@rdtech9153]

if you want to know more details, you can check our channel , there are many details for RD6018

[@sadfur8728]

33:00 Yes, trying to set a higher current of 19A trips the 18.1A limit overcurrent protection on the power supply, so the voltage folds back to zero and the electronic load resistance drops way down in a futile attempt to maintain the high current. At that point the supply remains in constant current mode, with only a very small voltage needed, because the electronic load is now acting like a short circuit.

[@ResistCircuitResist]

Just put together my rd6018w w/ 1000w and i don't think ive ever had a product like this that didn't have sharp edges, bent metal and screw holes that were supposed to be. Very happy so far. Do you know if there is a way to schedule/time the output. IE. ramp up power over time.

[@TonyAlbus]

Hi, Yes agree, it is proper made, I think you can, at 28 minutes you see it in de software in advanced functions.

[@sadfur8728]

The slew rate on turn on does appear very slow and gradual, taking several seconds to go 0 to 60. Seems on par with my car-

[@Ali-Rida]

Hi Tony. Wondering if you know the default (S800) 800W SPU has the same constantly-running fan issue?

[@TonyAlbus]

Hello, i dont know, depends on what you are send.. the seller just makes a combo.. today i post a video on the new PWN controller for 12,24 and 48 volt, all in one.

[@Ali-Rida]

@@TonyAlbus Thanks. I thought you already tried the 800W and were not happy! To me 1200W on this limited converter is also over kill. I want to use it for lab bench applications so 800 is enough for me. I think the converter should be a bit stronger than PSU not exactly as powerful. So I don't consider components used on the default RD6018, are not matched, IMO.

[@TonyAlbus]

@@Ali-Rida Hi Alireza, my converter is 1080 Watts, thats why i have a 1200W supply. The PSU should be stronger, not the controller, the controller limits itself, if the controler is stronger you overload the PSU.

[@Ali-Rida]

@@TonyAlbus TBH I don't know how these switching power supplies are design and individually controlled. If they are completely dumb, yes you're right. But if their rated max output is what the PSU saturates at because of its internal protection circuitry then having a stronger control panel doesn't change anything and doesn't cost that much more. I think usually you have to pay much higher for a more powerful PSU compared to a stronger controller. Anyways I just wanted to see if the S800 has the same fan issue as this one. Enjoy your POWERful PSU :-)

[@TonyAlbus]

@@Ali-Rida Thanks... Power!!!

[@amaglite]

mine came with a little board that has a separate temp sensor that controls the fan, must admit think its noisy though (shame) , anyone got to hand with all the features on this yet or knows a video as i cant learn from reading instructions

[@TonyAlbus]

Yes very noisy, i did make more videos about this PSU, maybe that can help you

[@btmerz]

Is it possible to control the device via MQTT?

[@TonyAlbus]

Good question, i have no experiance with that at all..

[@Ziggerzzz]

On my Riden the fan turns off when there is no load

[@TonyAlbus]

Thanks, yes i guess mine too, but i cant hear it because of the PSU fan :)...

[@rdtech9153]

yes , all the PSU we recommended are not all runing

[@MarcelHuguenin]

Hey Tony, heel benieuwd ook naar jouw mod. Zoals eerder gezegd, ik heb de RD6006 met de originele 400W PSU en heb deze ingebouwd samen met een andere Ruideng PSU die een zware trafo als voeding heeft en dientengevolge stil is. Ik heb de 6006 van een front panel on/off switch voorzien die een 220V relais aanstuurt. Zo kan ik hem vanaf het voorpaneel aanzetten wanneer nodig. Zou ook wel een mod willen uitvoeren om die voeding temp.gestuurd te krijgen. Nog geen tijd/zin gehad ivm andere werkzaamheden. De RD6006 front unit schakelt wel zijn fan on/off bij load/geen load. De achterliggende voedingsunit niet (zoals bij jou dus).

[@TonyAlbus]

Thanks, ja precies.. de Riden unit zelf zal netjes schakkelen... dat ga ik met die vodeningsunit ook doen. dit is geen doen. ik ben gewent aan die herrie, maar in het datacenter heb ik oordoppen in. ik denk dat het vrij simpel is op te lossen..... maar dat zal je wel zien :)

[@MarcelHuguenin]

@@TonyAlbus Top! Benieuwd hoe je het aanpakt.

[@CornelisJoh]

If you need inspiration for making the PSU fan less noisy you may have a look at this video about the RD6012 with a comparable (though different) PSU: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oqTRdWhsja-rors. Note that this video is the last part in a series of 4 video's.

[@MarcelHuguenin]

@@CornelisJoh Thanks for the tip!

[@TonyAlbus]

Thanks!

[@losaminos59]

Great video series! Is the psu supplied by Riden (S800 or the 1000W) isolated from the mains? Planning to use this as my new bench power supply.

[@TonyAlbus]

Thanks!, the PSU-unit is bought separate so it depends, but i think most SMPS-modules are isoiated indeed.

[@Shnick]

Also, make sure your USB cord is able to do data, not just power. It took me an hour to rule that out. *smacks forehead*

[@TonyAlbus]

oh yes i fell for that one too, i hate it when they only wire a cable for charging...

[@UniSoft2]

FYI If anyone interested, There is a custom firmware for this PSU (I am author of alternative firmware), here you can find full manual (pdf): drive.google.com/file/d/1FKAXFBIbRVujsal-6V2Ta0ogtcvQAIPd/view

I also have the 6012P and I couldn't establish a connection with my current iPhone. I tried all sorts of settings on both the router and the iPhone, but nothing worked.

[@technofeeliak]

I don't understand why electronics enthusiasts get excited about basic tools like this. See, if you know enough about electronics you should be able to build your own from scratch. I just bought a metal brake so I can bend metal and make cases. I built computers on my own and I'm learning programming. I don't want to have to buy anything because I would rather make it all myself from basic materials and components. That way I get exactly what I want and need. Don't you think that's a good idea?

[@TonyAlbus]

We all have our own thing. Some like green some like blue, it not for you to understand. But good for you you build it all yourself, you must have a lot of time and agree that does feel good when finished. i did exacly that 25 years ago, now i want my time spend different.

[@rdtech9153]

You have to know that it is very difficult to make a good power supply, it needs a lot of experience, you can try it, I wish you success

[@sadfur8728]

I'd think it a challenge to build this from scratch with all the features and performance that it has at any kind of cost limit that this is available for. Something crude could be put together quickly and cheaply enough, but it's not really going to compare very favorably. If you've actually been able to do it, share the details of it, it would be an impressive accomplishment.

[@fondueeundof3351]

Not everybody is fond of building power supplies, they have other projects they prefer to pursue
