KONSTANTER SPL Series
Programmable Electronic Load
Applications
Series SPL electronic loads are high precision direct current sinks
for use in research, product development, production, service
and vocational training.
The devices are distinguished by a diverse range of functions and
excellent regulating accuracy, as well as outstanding ease of
operation.
Features
High levels of operating safety thanks to safety functions and special
functions
A multitude of protection and additional functions have been inte-
grated, for example:
• Limiting of the setting ranges for voltage and current
with adjustable response delay and reaction
• Overcurrent protection (OCP)
• Overvoltage protection (OVP)
• Power limiting
• Overtemperature protection
• Protection of the electronic load in the event of polarity rever-
sal
• A highly effective, intelligent cooling system reduces system
temperature and results in increased power density.
• The input connector terminals are especially well suited for
large test current values.
Multifunctionality
• Equipped with 4 basic operating modes: CC, CV, CR, CP
• Rapid transient measurement of the connected device under
test with separate adjustment options for high/low level, rise
and fall time
• Extensive sequence functions (arbitrary functions) with 10 μs
as the smallest step rate and 100,000
s as the largest step
rate. Cyclical addresses can be freely selected and one
sequence can be combined with another, in order to create
even more complex test procedures.
• Short-circuit test, battery discharge test and other auxiliary
functions
• Remote sensor connector sockets and trigger connector
socket are included. The instrument is automatically switched
to sensing mode operation as soon as the remote sensors are
connected.
• 10 groups of parameter settings can be saved to memory,
and the default settings stored to RAM (location 0) are acti
-
vated automatically when the instrument is switched on.
• SCPI support makes it easy to set up an automatic test equip-
ment system (ATE) which communicates with other program-
mable devices via the RS 232 port or the optional GPIB inter-
face.
Easy Operation
• Easy-to-configure sequence parameters in combination with
extensive sequence editing functions
• Complete electronic calibration is possible without removing
the slide-in unit.
• 4 operating modes: constant current, constant voltage,
constant load, constant power
• High speed sequence and transient measurement, short-cir-
cuit proof, battery discharging and other auxiliary functions
• Programmable current rise and fall time, steep edges
• Several groups of parameters (device settings) and sequences
(load profile) can be saved and retrieved.
• Floating power input / no grounding
• Safe electrical separation
• Input can be switched on and off.
• Voltage or current control is possible with constant power.
• Settings selected by means of rotary switch and keypad
• Multifunctional LCD panel
• Safety functions, amongst others adjustable power limiting
•Benchtop instrument, also suitable for mounting to a 19" rack
