Safety Precautions
General safety precautions below must be followed in each phase of instrument
operation. In case of failure to follow these precautions or specific warnings in
other parts of the manual, violation against the safety standards related to the
design, manufacture and purpose of the instrument will occur. If the user does
not follow these precautions, ITECH will bear no responsibility arising there
from.
⚫To prevent burnout, be sure to check whether the AC voltage setting of
electronic load is consistent to the supply voltage before start-up!
⚫Do not use the instrument if it is damaged. Before operation, check the
casing to see whether it cracks. Do not operate the instrument in the
presence of inflammable gasses, vapors or dusts.
⚫The electronic load is provided with a three-core power line during delivery
and should be connected to a three-core junction box. Before operation, be
sure that the electronic load is well grounded.
⚫Make sure to use the power cord supplied by ITECH.
⚫Observe all tags on the equipment before connection.
⚫Use electric wires of appropriate load. All loading wires should be capable
of bearing maximum short-circuit current of electronic load without
overheating. If there are multiple electronic loads, each pair of the power
cord must be capable of bearing the full-loaded rated short-circuit output
current
⚫Ensure the voltage fluctuation of mains supply is less than 10% of the
working voltage range in order to reduce risks of fire and electric shock.
⚫Do not install alternative parts on the instrument or perform any
unauthorized modification.
⚫Do not use the equipment when the removable cover is dismantled or
loose.
⚫Please use the power adapter supplied by the manufacturer to avoid
accidental injury.
⚫We do not accept responsibility for any direct or indirect financial damage
or loss of profit that might occur when using the instrument.

1.7 Connecting Test Lines (Optional)
Test lines are not standard accessories of the instrument. Please select optional
red and black test lines for individual sales based on the maximum current
value. For specifications of test lines and maximum current values, refer to
“Specifications of Red and Black Test Lines” in “Appendix”.
⚫Before connecting test lines, be sure to switch off the power supply of
the test loop in order to avoid electric shock.
⚫To avoid electrical shock, before testing, please make sure the rating
values of the testing lines, and do not measure the current that higher
than the rating value.
⚫Always use test lines provided by ITECH to connect the equipment. If
test lines from other factories are used, please check that the test line
can withstand maximum current.
Test line connection is given below taking local measurement as example.
For details of local and remote measurements, refer to “Functions of Rear
Panel Terminal”.
1. Before connecting the test lines, be sure that the instrument Power is
in Off position.
2. Unscrew the screws of the input terminals and connect the red and
black test lines to the input terminals. Re-tighten the screws.
When maximum current that one test line can withstand fails to meet
the current rated current, use several pieces of red and black test lines.
For example, the maximum current is 1,200A, then 4 pieces of 360A
red and black lines are required.
3. Directly connect the other end of the red and black lines to the DUT
terminal.

Exception handling
If the electronic load cannot start normally, please check and take measures by
reference to steps below.
1. Check whether the power line is correctly connected and confirm whether
the electronic load is powered.
Correct wiring of power line => 2
Incorrect wiring of power line => Re-connect the power line and check whether
the exception is removed.
2. Check whether the power in On. Power key is under On status.

Yes => 3
No => Please check the Power key to start power and check whether the
exception is removed.
3. Check whether set power voltage of electronic load is larger than the power
supply voltage. If set power voltage is 220 V and the supply voltage is 110 V,
the electronic load cannot start.
4. Check whether the fuse of electronic fuse is burned out.
If yes, change fuse. Detailed steps:
1)Pull out power line and take out the fuse box at power line jack with a small
screw driver. As shown below.
2)If the fuse is fused, please change fuse of same specification based on
machine model. See the table blow for matching information of fuse and
machine model.

Chapter3 Function and Features
This Chapter will give a detailed description of functions and features of the
electronic load. It is divided into the following parts:
⚫Switching of local/remote operation modes
⚫Constant-status operation mode
⚫Input control function
⚫Keyboard locking function
⚫Short circuit operation function
⚫Save/Recall function
⚫System setting function
⚫Triggering function
⚫List function
⚫Test function
⚫CR-LED function
⚫Measurement of voltage rise time
⚫VON function
⚫Protective function
⚫Remote compensation function
⚫Current monitoring function
3.1 Switching of local/remote operation modes
The electronic load is provided with local and remote operation modes. These
two modes can be switched through communication commands. At initialization,
the electronic load is defaulted under local operation mode.
⚫Local operation mode: for operating related functions through keys on the
electronic load machine.
⚫Remote operation mode: for operating related functions of the electronic
load on PC through a connection between the electronic load and PC.
Under remote operation mode, except [Local] key, other keys on the board
are disabled. The [Local] key can be used for switching to local operation
mode.
3.2 Constant-status operation mode
The electronic mode can work under the 4 constant-state operation modes:
⚫Constant current operation mode (CC)
⚫Constant voltage operation mode (CV)
⚫Constant resistance operation mode (CR)
⚫Constant power operation mode (CW)
3.2.1 Constant current operation mode (CC)
Under CC mode, the electronic load will consume constant current in regardless
of whether the input voltage changes or not, as shown in Fig. 3-1.
