Polarity

The SLD-series Electronic load conducts reverse current when the polarity of the DC source
connection is incorrect. Please refer to the specifications in Section for the maximum
reverse current.

CAUTION:
If the reverse current exceeds the maximum reverse current, it may cause
permanent damage to the SLD-series Electronic Load.


When Reverse Polarity is triggered, the upper 5-character display indicates "Prot," and the
lower 5-character display indicates "-V", a negative current reading.

Whenever a reverse current reading is displayed, turn OFF the DC power source
immediately and make the correct connections.
