Description

The 8500 series electronic loads are used for the design, manufacturing, and evaluation of DC power supplies, batteries, and power components. The electronic load contains a processor, serial port connector, front-panel keypad and VFD, and other circuits common to the other entire load module.

The model 8510 serial electronic load operates in constant current (CC) mode, constant voltage (CV) mode, or constant resistance (CR) mode and constant power (CW) Mode.

Features and Capabilities

•High accuracy and high resolution

•Capable to work with constant current (CC), constant voltage (CV), constant resistance (CR) mode and constant power (CW) operation.

•Serial port interface-DB9-RS232 port.

•Triggered input and measurement functions.

•Built-in pulse generator for continuous, pulsed, and toggled transient mode operation.

•Over voltage, over current, overpower, and over temperature protection.

•Electronic load calibrate by Software.

•Fan speed control by temperature.

•VFD display

•Short circuit test

•Battery testing function.

Front Panel Controls

The front panel has keyboard controls for setting the input voltage, current and resistance. The panel display provides digital readouts of a number of functions including the inputs. The VFD display indicates the operating status of the electronic load.
