Advantages of the Cotek AE-800 series include an extremely compact design with integrated fans, a wide input voltage range of 90-264 VAC and 127-370 VDC, and variants available in 12 V, 15 V, 24 V, 30 V, 36 V, 48 V, and 60 V. The series features current limitation, with adjustable output voltage and current in a range of 0% to 105%. Control options include simple control via a potentiometer (with the additional EasyAdjust3000 board) or control voltage, as well as communication/control via I²C (communication protocol available on request) or RS232/RS485 (using additional boards from the CT series).

Single devices can be controlled with the additional CT-201 (RS232) or CT-551 (RS485) boards. The series supports parallel operation, allowing control of up to 8 devices with the additional CT-251 for master and one CT-551 for each slave. Series operation is possible up to a maximum of 500 VDC, controlling up to 8 devices via the additional CT-204 board.

Set and actual values of the device can be monitored, including voltage, current, and temperature, along with the readout of status flags. The auxiliary voltage is selectable at +5V / 0.5A or +9V / 0.3A. Additional features include a power OK signal, remote On/Off, remote sense, and various protections such as over voltage protection (OVP), overload protection (OLP), over temperature protection (OTP), and fan failure.

Applications include charging, motors, laser technology, water treatment, industrial heating furnaces, and any situation where variable voltages and currents are required.
