33501 Series Operation Manual 3-5
3.1.9
LOAD ON/OFF key and LED
The 33501 series Electronic Load input can be toggled ON/OFF at the front panel's
LOAD ON/OFF key. The load current slew rate change uses the slew rate setting, so
the load current slew rate will change at the programmed Rise/Fall slew rate setting
respectively.
Turning the LOAD OFF does not affect the programmed settings. The LED is OFF to
indicate LOAD OFF status. The LOAD will return to the previously programmed
values when the LOAD key is turned to ON again.
The Load ON LED indicates the 33501 series electronic load is ready to sink current
from DC input.
3.1.9.1
Load ON/OFF key: Switch load ON to load OFF in the load module, the fall
slew rate is according to the slew rate setting on the front panel.
3.1.9.2 DC input voltage: There is a load ON and load OFF voltage control circuit
in 33501 series electronic load.
When the Device under Test turns ON, the output voltage of D.U.T will
increase up from 0 to rated output voltage. The 33501 series electronic
load will start to sink current after load voltage is higher than load ON
voltage setting within the Config key.
The programmed load ON voltage for model 33501 series electronic load
module is from 0 to 25V
When the Device under Test turns OFF, the output voltage of D.U.T will
decrease down to 0 volt. The 33501 series electronic load will stop to sink
current after load voltage is lower than load OFF voltage setting within the
Config key.
The programmed load OFF voltage for model 33501 series load module is
from 0 to load ON voltage.
3.1.10 DYN / STA key and LED
This Key is available in Constant Current and Constant Power mode only. In
Constant Resistance and Constant Voltage mode, there is no any function in this key
and the LED is OFF, the 33501 series load module will automatically adjust to static
mode. In Constant Current and Constant Power mode, the Static or Dynamic mode is
toggled by this key; the LED will be lit at Dynamic mode.
3.1.11 Range key and LED
Range AUTO / II Key is for range setting, if Range AUTO LED is OFF, load will
setting to Range I or II in accordance with the actual current value. When Range II,
LED will ON, the current programming will setting to Range II .
Note: Coercion Range II only in CC Mode.
