Electronic Load
300W Programmable DC
Electronic Load
Model 8500
The model 8500 is an affordable full-featured Programmable
Electronic DC Load with high accuracy and display resolution. They
are great units for DC Power Supply and DC-DC Converter testing
and calibration. Because this is fully programmable via the RS 232
or optional USB interface, it is ideal for Automated Test Systems.
■ Operates Between 0-120VDC, 1mA-30A (300W MAX)
■ High Resolution 0.1mA/1mV (range dependent)
■ VFD Display
■ CV/CC/CW/CR Operation
■ Over-Current/Over-Voltage/Over-Power/Over-Temperature
Protected
■ RS 232 Interface Cable and Software Included
■ Optional USB Interface Available (order IT-E132)
■ Thermostat Controlled Internal Fan
The Model 8500 Programmable DC Electronic Load includes the
necessary control and firmware capabilities to make it a complete
and self-contained solution for automated functional testing of
power devices. Through the front panel, test programs can be
generated and then repeatedly executed with a single keystroke.
Test results can be sent to the front panel, printer or a PC.
The Model 8500 can be used as a stand-alone, bench top
load or as a PC controlled subsystem within a larger
automatic test station.
