8500B
The 8500B Series programmable DC electronic loads improve upon all aspects of its predecessor while maintaining dependability at a value price. This series supports both SCPI and the backwards compatible legacy protocol.
With a transient mode speed of up to 10 kHz and multi-type input terminals for banana plug or spade connectors, these DC loads are suitable for testing and evaluating DC power supplies, DC-DC converters, batteries, battery chargers, and photovoltaic arrays.
Maximum input power up to 1500 W
CC/CV/CR/CW operating modes
Transient mode up to 10 kHz in CC mode
16-bit voltage and current measurement system with up to 0.1 mV / 0.1 mA resolution
List mode and adjustable slew rate in CC mode
Short circuit test
Built-in battery test function with voltage level, capacity level, and timer stop conditions
CR-LED mode to simulate the loading behavior of typical LEDs
Remote voltage sensing to compensate for the effect of voltage drop in wires
Analog current control and monitoring
TTL (DB9) interface, includes TTL to USB adapter (models 8542B, 8500B, 8502B, 8510B)
USB and RS232 interfaces (8514B only)
OVP/OCP/OPP/OTP and local/remote reverse voltage (LRV/RRV) protection

Description
8500B
The 8500B Series programmable DC electronic loads improve upon all aspects of its predecessor while maintaining dependability at a value price.
A set of comprehensive functions make these loads a versatile tool for testing and evaluating DC power supplies, DC-DC converters, batteries, battery chargers, and photovoltaic arrays.
List mode, transient mode, automatic test mode, and battery test mode offer a variety of test tools for lab or production line applications.
Continuously switching and pulsing load conditions put a dynamically changing load on
DC sources. Load behavior can be triggered internally, externally, or remotely from the included application software.
Contained in a compact benchtop form factor, these loads operate in constant current (CC), constant voltage (CV), constant resistance (CR), or constant power (CW) mode. Internal memory allows for 100 sets of user configurable parameters such as voltage, current, slew rate and width for quick system recall.
