Atec Sorensen-SL Series User Manual
1–720 a, Dc and ac/dc electronic loads

858.458.0223
The Sorensen SL series electronic loads offer the 
best value with the most flexible platform. A wide 
range of loads are available from 75-1800W with 
both DC and AC input in benchtop, modular and 
standalone form factors.
SLM Mainframe 
The SLM mainframe choices include a convenient 
single-bay configuration for benchtop/desktop 
applications or a four bay configuration for 
multichannel and ATE requirements. Either chassis 
is compatible with SLM- and SLD- loads. Each 
chassis contains non-volatile memory capable of 
storing up to 150 module setups and nine 16-step 
sequences for automated, standalone testing. 
Or for more complex test sequences, the chassis 
come with GPIB (optional on SLM-1) and RS-232 
as standard interfaces. 
SLM Family
The SLM family includes nine models of fully 
programmable, single input AC or DC modular 
electronic loads. DC models are offered to 
test power supplies, battery chargers, battery 
discharge, power supply transient response and 
integration into ATE systems. AC models are ideal 
to test low power inverters.
The DC models support operation in Constant 
Current (CC), Constant Voltage (CV), Constant 
Resistance (CR) or Constant Power (CP) mode 
as well as a short simulation. Engineers have 
ultimate control of current waveforms by using 
either the analog input or CC dynamic mode. 
An analog input (single input DC models) allows 
arbitrary current waveforms up to 20kHz with an 
external 0-10V signal. In dynamic mode, the pulse 
generator allows fast state switching between 
two programmed current levels with programmed 
slew rate and dwell times.
SLD Family
The SLD family offers six models of fully 
programmable, dual input modular electronic 
loads. These DC modules are specifically designed 
for low power, high channel count testing and 
provide the highest channel density available.
SLH Family
Fully programmable, high power AC or DC 
electronic loads. The 500V models are for PFC 
testing, power transformers and various other AC 
or DC power sources. The 300V models are used 
for testing of UPSs, automatic voltage regulators 
(AVR), and batteries.
• High current, 60V DC models for general 
 purpose power supply testing
• High voltage,AC/DCmodels are intended 
 for inverter test,
• Power Factor Correction (PFC) circuit testing 
 (500V) and UPS testing (300V)
