Description

The Simplex NorthStar Portable Digital

Load Bank is specifi cally designed

for the Canadian Market by providing

600v capability in an ultra-compact,

lightweight, versatile test instrument

WHICH CAN BE NETWORKED FOR

HIGH AGGREGATE KW. The NorthStar

is rated 150kw in steps of 5kw. It is

suitable for testing engine generators,

wind generators, UPS systems, ground

power units, auxiliary power units, static

inverters or virtually any other AC power

source on the production line, in the

service shop or in the fi eld.

The NorthStar is a digitally controlled

load bank with network capability. All

control is via a hand-held touchscreen

controller connected to the load bank

via a supplied RS-232 network cable.

The load bank includes a digital

power transducer with meter displays

on the touchscreen. Load is applied

via a screen keypad. Any number of

NorthStar Load Banks can be networked

together via RS-232 cables connected

from the “out” connector on the fi rst unit

to the “in” connector on the next, and

then “out-to-in” in succession until the

desired number of units are connected.

All control and metering is provided

from a single hand-held controller. All

instrumentation values for the total

network are summed and displayed on

the master controller.

The NorthStar is highly portable and

easily transported to the job site. The

Load Bank includes casters, lifting and

moving handles. Power connections are

plug-in to Cam-Lok connectors. Control

and cooling fan power is obtained from

a common 115v, 15A outlet via the

included connection cord.
