NB - we no longer sell this rectifier.
This rectifier can be used for tank, brush and pen plating. Here is a quick guide to setting it up for brush plating.
Assemble your equipment as shown in the photo:
Use the switch on the back of the rectifier to turn it on.
Fit the crocodile clip to the end of the black lead and plug the other end into the corresponding black socket on the front of the rectifier. Plug in the red lead into the corresponding red socket.
Turn the amps dial clockwise to the stop (maximum) and the volts to the value required by the brush plating solution.
Note: Even though the amps dial is set to maximum, the amps meter will read ‘0.00’.
The amp meter will not read anything until plating commences.
The volts will however be displayed.

Open the circuit (or turn the circuit off) by switching the Output switch so that the line is in the up position.
Set the voltage to about 3.5
Using the crocodile clip on the end of the black lead, connect the black to the red lead.
Close the circuit.
Adjust the amps to about 4.5 to 5 amps.
NB. This stage sets the maximum amps to prevent damage to the work piece should the bare electrode accidentally come in contact with the work directly.
Open the circuit again.
Unclip the crocodile clip from the end of the red lead.
Connect the electrode handle to the end of the red lead and attach the swab to the electrode.
Select the correct voltage range for your brush plating solution.
Now close the circuit and you’re ready to start plating.
