Data Sheet Programmable DC Electronic Loads 8600 Series The 8600 Series programmable DC electronic areas for quick system recall. All load parameters Features loads provide the performance of modular system such as voltage, current, slew rate, and width Voltage range up to 500 V DC electronic loads in a compact benchtop form can be set via the front panel or programmed Current range up to 240 A factor. With fast transient operation speeds and remotely. The 8600 Series provides standard CC/CV/CR/CW operating modes high 16-bit measurement resolution, these USB (USBTMC-compliant), GPIB, or RS-232 16-bit voltage and current measurement standalone DC loads can be used for testing and serial interfaces for remote communication. evaluating a variety of DC sources such as DC system providing 1 mV / 0.1 mA resolution power supplies, DC-DC converters, batteries, To ensure the reliability of your testing, the 8600 Transient mode up to 25 kHz in CC mode battery chargers, and photovoltaic arrays. Series provides a power-on system self-test and List mode function numerous protection features: overtemperature Store and recall up to 100 setups The DC loads can operate in constant current (OTP), overvoltage (OVP), overcurrent (OCP), Adjustable slew rate in CC mode (CC), constant voltage (CV), constant resistance overpower (OPP), and local/remote reverse Flexible triggering options via front panel, (CR), or constant power (CW) mode and be voltage (LRV/RRV) protection. configured to provide a dynamically changing load external input, timer, or bus to the DC source with fast load switching times. Built-in battery test function with voltage level, Versatile internal, external, and remote triggering Special Applications capacity level, and timer stop conditions options allow the dynamic load behavior to be The 8600 Series provides a built-in battery test Test modes to validate the OCP/OPP synchronized with other events. mode to measure the ampere-hour (Ah) protection functions of a power supply characteristic of a battery and a unique CR-LED CR-LED mode to simulate the loading behavior Increase productivity by saving your test mode to simulate the loading behavior of a parameters into any one of the 100 memory of typical LEDs typical LED.
