Connection

The GPIB connector on the rear panel (Figure 2-5) connects the SLH-series High
Power AC/DC Electronic Load to the controller and to other GPIB devices. An GPIB
system can be connected in any configuration (star, linear, or both) with the following
provisions:

• The maximum number of devices including the controller is no more than 15.
• The maximum length of all cables is no more than 2 meters times the number of

devices connected together, up to 20 meters maximum.

Ensure that the lock screws are firmly hand-tightened; use a screwdriver only for the
removal of screws. The GPIB address of the Load is factory set to 05.

GPIB Address Setting:

Set the GPIB address on the front panel (see Figure 2-6) by pressing
STATE 4+STATE 5 keys simultaneously. Press UP or DOWN on the
BANK keys (white buttons to right) to select the address number (0-31).
Press STATE 2 to exit GPIB address setting mode.
