PLZ-4WH
Parallel Operation
The PLZ-4WH series can be connected to multiple electronic loads in parallel to increase the
total current and power capacities. During parallel operation, set one unit as the master unit.
The master unit can control all the electronic loads that it is connected to in parallel. The
master unit displays the total current and total power for all the electronic loads that it is
connected to in parallel.
You can use one of the following two methods to perform parallel operation:
•
Parallel operation using the same type of electronic loads
This method involves connecting a PLZ-4WH that has been set as the master unit to
slave PLZ-4WHs in parallel. You can only connect slave units that are the same type of
electronic load as the master unit. You can connect up to four slave units (five units
including the master unit).
•
Parallel operation using boosters
This method involves connecting a PLZ1004WH that has been set as the master unit to
boosters (PLZ2004WHB) in parallel. You can connect up to 4 boosters.
For details on how to connect and configure units for parallel operation using boosters,
see the PLZ2004WHB operation manual.
Boosters (PLZ2004WHB) can only be connected to the PLZ1004WH.
During parallel operation, the product may not meet the specifications that it has during
independent operation. You can improve the accuracy of settings and measurements by
calibrating the product during parallel operation.
The current ripple during parallel operation is approximately equal to the value in the
specifications for independent operation multiplied by the number of units in parallel
operation.
The setting resolution during parallel operation varies depending on the number of units in
parallel operation.
When you set the master unit to parallel operation, the settings of each mode, ABC preset
memory contents, setup memory contents, and sequence contents are all cleared.
CAUTION
To avoid damaging the product, observe the following precaution.
• Do not mix PLZ-4W series and PLZ-4WH series units together in parallel operation.
• Do not use the load input terminals on the front panel in parallel operation.
