About the interface cards

5. Usage in devices of the series

EL3000/EL9000

The electronic loads of the series EL3000 and EL9000 sup-

port the following interface cards:

IF-U1, IF-R1, IF-C1

The general functionality of the interface cards is the same

if used in one of these electronic loads. The amount of fea-

tures is limited, compared to a power supply, and there’s a

difference in configuring the cards in the setup menu.

Menu example of the CAN card:

Menu example RS232 card:

You can configure the interface cards in the setup menu of

the devices. This is activated by turning the switch Level

Control to position Setup.

Depending on which card is equipped (the electronic loads

feature only one card slot) a different selection of parameters

is available. The parameters and their values are identical to

the ones explained in section 4.1 to 4.3, with the exception

that no Sample point can be set at CAN.

There are also no settable parameters for the USB card

here.
