1 Introduction
This User’s Guide describes the ES4434.1 Configurable Load Board.
It consists of the following chapters:
• Introduction
This chapter – here you will find general information on the ES4434.1
Configurable Load Board.
• "Hardware" on page 11
This chapter describes the features of the ES4434.1 Configurable Load
Board in more detail.
• "Technical Data" on page 19
This section contains the technical data of the ES4434.1 Configurable
Load Board.
CAUTION!
Some components of the ES4434.1 Configurable Load Board may
be damaged or even destroyed by static discharge. Leave the
board in its transport package until you want to install it.
The ES4434.1 Configurable Load Board should only be taken from
its package, configured and installed at a working place that is
protected against static discharge.
WARNING!
The components, connectors and conductors of the ES4434.1
Configurable Load Board may carry dangerous voltages. These
voltages may even exist if the ES4434.1 is not installed in the
ES4408.1 Load Chassis or the ES4408.1 Load Chassis is powered
off.
Make sure the ES4434.1 is protected against contact during
operation.

1.1 Features
The ES4434.1 Configurable Load Board is a 3 U plug-in board for the
ES4408.1 Load Chassis and is used to simulate low current loads in a LABCAR.
A total of seven boards of the type ES4434.1 Configurable Load Board or
ES4435.1 Current Source Load Board can be used in the ES4408.1 Load
Chassis.
The ES4434.1 Configurable Load Board has the following features:
• 24 configurable loads which are attached to the board with clips
• Assembled with 24 resistors of 510 Ω/3 W on delivery
• Each individual load can be configured to a specific battery node (via a
jumper)
• Battery nodes are activated via a relay (with the corresponding status
signal)
This makes the ES4434.1 Configurable Load Board suitable for projects in
which rare reconfigurations are necessary – for frequent changes, we would
recommend the ES4435.1 Current Source Load Board that has 24 current
sources configurable via software.

1.2 Taking the Product Back and Recycling
The European Union has passed a directive called Waste Electrical and
Electronic Equipment, or WEEE for short, to ensure that systems are setup
throughout the EU for the collection, treating and recycling of electronic
waste.
This ensures that the devices are recycled in a resource-saving way representing
no danger to health or the environment.
Fig. 1-3 WEEE Symbol
The WEEE symbol on the product or its packaging shows that the product
must not be disposed of as residual garbage.
The user is obliged to collect the old devices separately and return them to the
WEEE take-back system for recycling.
The WEEE directive concerns all ETAS devices but not external cables or
batteries.
For more information on the ETAS GmbH Recycling Program, contact the ETAS
sales and service locations (see "ETAS Contact Addresses" on page 21).
