Features
In addition to basic constant current, constant resistance, con-
stant voltage, and constant power modes, the PLZ-5W Series
offers a variety of other features. The PLZ-5W series also pro-
vides better performance than previous models.
• High-speed response
The rise time has been improved from 10 µs to 5 µs.
• Expanded voltage range
The minimum operating voltage has been improved from
1.5 V to 1.0 V, offering support of low voltage input.
• Arbitrary I-V characteristics mode
Arbitrary I-V characteristics mode that allows current to be set
arbitrarily in relation to voltage input. This mode can be used
for simulation of LED loads and the like.
• Color liquid crystal display (LCD)
Allows easy-to-see display in color. The voltage value, current
value, power value, current capacity value (Ah), and power
capacity value (Wh) at the load input terminal are indicated
on the display.
• Increased power capacity and current capacity
Power capacity and current capacity 1.2 times those of
previous models have been realized while keeping the size
unchanged.
• Larger capacity achievable
Larger capacity can be achieved by connecting optional
boosters (PLZ2405WB) to the PLZ1205W. Up to four booster
units can be operated in parallel using a PLZ1205W unit as
the master unit (up to 10.8 kW, 2 160 A).
• Support of synchronized operation
Load On/off control and the execution of sequences can be
synchronized for multiple PLZ-5W units.
• RS232C, USB, and LAN communication functions provided
as standard
These functions allow easy incorporation into various types of
inspection systems.
• GPIB function available as option*
Using the optional GPIB converter (p.126), the GPIB function
can be used via the RS232C or USB interface.
* Limitation apply to some of the functions.
