CALIBRATION PARAMETERS
Please refer to “SECTION 5. CALIBRATION”.
OSCILLATE
This function selects between DISABLE/OSC3/OSC2/OSC1/Default System Bandwidth Settings. OSC3 & OSC2 have a
slower transient time range and slower bandwidth and OSC1 & Default have a faster transient time range and wider
bandwidth.
OSC DETECTION DISABLE AND DELAY FEATURES
For applications that utilize non-pure DC output power to the eLOAD input, the OSC detection can be disabled by
selecting the “DISABLE” menu choice. The OSC Protection Delay can be increased to 10 seconds for applications that
require a buffer to avoid false protection trigger. Please refer to the menu tree for detailed selection procedures
BOOT INPUT
Boot Input allows the input to be automatically turned on once the unit is powered on. By default, Boot Input is
deactivated.
LOAD PROFILE MENU
The profile menu allows 4 different profiles (0~3) to save all current load configurations. As a factory default, profile 0
& 3 are our factory default profile and profile 1 is our syntax profile.
DISPLAY MENU
Display Mode: V + I (Voltage + Current) V + C (Voltage + “C” operand)
V + P (Voltage + Power) V + R (Voltage + Resistance)
I + C (Current + “C” operand) I + P (Current + Power)
P + C (Power +“C” operand) I + R (Current + Resistance)
R + P (Resistance + Power) R + C (Resistance + “C” operand)
V + T (Voltage + Temperature) I + T (Current + Temperature)
R + T (Resistance + Temperature) P + T (Power + Temperature)
C + T (“C” operand + Temperature)
The LCD display module of the eLOAD can be configured to the different measuring combinations.
Press the "Menu/Local" key. Turn the encoder 43 to select the Display, and then press the "ENTER" key and turn the
encoder 43 to select the desired function. Press the “ENTER” key to confirm the selection. Press “CLEAR” key to
escape the Display Mode.
C OPERAND FOR BATTERY TESTING
“C” Value: 1.0000A
The eLOAD provides the “C” operand. This is especially useful for battery testing applications that use “C” as the battery
capacity unit. The user can avoid troublesome calculations by monitoring and testing the battery directly. After the user
changes the display combination to V + C, all current values entered and/or measured will be in “C” automatically. The
Current value will be scaled according to its value in C units, for example if a “C” value of 10 A is entered, a main value
setting of 20 A will be represented as 2 C.
Press the "Menu/Local" key, select display mode and press ENTER. Turn the encoder 43 to select the "C" value. Press
the "ENTER" key, input the desired value, and press "ENTER". Then Press “CLEAR” to exit the “C” operand mode.
STABLE READ BACK – MEAS. BUFFER
For AC coupled DC input signals, the read back meter may display an unstable reading. Do not be alarmed, the read back
reading update rate can be slowed down for a more stable reading. Only 8 or 16 meas. buffer setting should be selected,
to ensure the correct measurements are updated properly.
