●Parallel connection with PLZ-5WH series*
Must be PLZ-5WH as a Master and update the rmware to newest version.
*When parallel operation between 5WH and 5WH2, only same capacity
model is available.
Operation Modes
Constant current
(CC) mode
When a current value is specied, the current is kept at that
value even when the voltage changes.
Constant resistance
(CR) mode
When a conductance value is specied, the product sinks current proportio-
nal to the voltage variation by using the value as a proportionality constant.
Constant voltage
(CV) mode
When a voltage value is specied, the product runs the current
so that the voltage is kept at that value.
Constant power
(CP) mode
When a power value is specied, the product runs the current
so that the power is kept at that value.
Arbitrary I-V charac-
teristics (ARB) mode
The desired load characteristics can be set by specifying multiple
arbitrary voltage values and current values as I-V characteristics.
The following ve operation modes are available on the PLZ-5WH2.
In addition, available to set in operation modes other than CV mode, the
“UVPL
*” setting keep the voltage less than UVP setting by controlling
the current and the “UVPT” setting loads off by applying a current to
reach the target setting voltage.
[Specications: See P.8-9]
*"UVPL" is the "+CV mode" in PLZ-5W series

Functions
Load On/O
The following load on/off settings are available in addition to standard
operations that can be carefully adjusted to fit the needs of any test
environment.
●Start with "load on" when power is turned on
●Display elapsed "load on" time
●Auto "load off" when time limit is reached
● Control "load on/off" with external controls such as relays
● "Load off" by specifying conditions (Cutoff function)
Soft Start
Soft start is a function that controls the rise time of the load current.
Soft start functions only when all the following conditions are met.
●The rise time of the soft start has been set.
● Load on state in constant current (CC) mode.
●There is an input that is equal to or exceeds the minimum operating
condition, from the state where there is no input to the load input
terminals.
If the load current rises sharply, the DUT output may become unstable
or the DUT’s overcurrent protection circuit may be activated. In such
situations, it is possible to make the load current to rise slowly only
when the product is started.

*Voltage drop cutoff operates in the same manner as UVPT of the UVP function.
UVP turns the load off based on the protection function, but the cutoff function
turns the load off when the specied conditions are met. As such, there is no need
to clear alarms, which is required when a UVPT is activated.

Functions
Sine Function
The sine function varies the current sinusoidally. It is suitable for super-
posed ripple testing of large capacity power supplies and batteries.
When a sine operation is in progress, a trigger signal is output from the
TRIG OUT connector on the front panel. You can set this regardless of
whether the load is on or off. This function operates in CC mode.
You cannot set the slew rate. Set the sine amplitude with a value.
When a sine operation is in progress, a trigger signal is output for 10 μs
from the TRIG OUT connector on the front panel when the current passes
through the Set value on the rising edge (sine wave phase at 0 degrees).

* (Reference) The resolution actually set in the device is period resolution ⊿T= 20 μs,
as shown in the equation below. For example, if you specify 900 Hz, the period set in the
device will be n × ⊿T = 56 × 20 μs = 1120 μs (where n is a number set in the device).
Converted to frequency, this becomes 1/1120 μs ≈ 893 Hz.
Sequence Function
A sequence consists of programs and steps. A program is a collection
of steps. Steps are executed in order one at a time, starting from
step 1. The completion of the last step signies that the program has
been executed once. When the specied number of program loops is
completed, the sequence ends. You can set the load state (load on or
off, load value, slew rate) at the end of the sequence of a program.

Pulse function refers to the operation of executing two settings repetitively.
It is suitable for transient response characteristics testing of large
capacity power supplies and batteries. When the pulse operation is in
progress, a trigger signal is output from the TRIG OUT connector on the
front panel. You can set this regardless of whether the load is on or off.
This function operates in CC and CR modes. The pulse amplitude is set
with a value or a percentage of the load value.
When the pulse operation is in progress, a trigger signal is output for
10 μs from the TRIG OUT connector on the front panel when the current
amplitude changes from low (Depth) to high (Set) level.
