WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS
WARNING - HAZARDOUS ENVIRONMENTS SYMBOL
This product is not specically designed for use in hazardous environments, for example in explosive
atmospheres. If the product is to be used in hazardous environments we recommend that the user
ensures suitable protective measures are taken.
!
WARNING - DANGER OF ELECTRIC SHOCK SYMBOL
This module may contain hazardous voltages. Before removing the module from the rack remove all
supplies and disconnect user I/O signals.
Unused slots in the PXI/LXI chassis are populated with blanking plates to prevent access to user
I/O signals that may be present. Blanking panels are available to order from Pickering in a variety
of slot widths. If the product is not used in this manner for example by using an extender card then
additional care must be taken to avoid contact with exposed signals.
CAUTION - HANDLING OF ELECTROSTATIC-SENSITIVE DEVICES SYMBOL
Certain semiconductor devices used in this equipment are liable to damage due to static voltage.
Observe the following precautions when handling these devices in their unterminated state, or
sub-assemblies containing these devices:
1. Persons removing sub-assemblies from equipment using these devices must be earthed by a
wrist strap and a resistor at the point provided on the equipment.
2. Soldering irons used during the repair operations must be low voltage types with earthed tips and
isolated from the mains voltage by a double insulated transformer.
3. Outer clothing worn must be unable to generate static charges.
4. Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs) tted with these devices must be stored and transported in
anti-static bags.
CAUTION - PRODUCT DOCUMENTATION SYMBOL
Suitably qualied & trained users should ensure that the accompanying documentation is fully read
and understood before attempting to install or operate the product.
!
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
All cleaning and servicing requires the equipment to be isolated and disconnected from the power source and user I/O
signals (refer to the Maintenance Section).
• Appropriate manual handling procedures should be followed as dictated by the weight of the individual module or
the combined weight of the modules & chassis.
• Should a fault occur with the module or chassis, immediately isolate and disconnect the incoming power to the
chassis and the user I/O signals.
• Ensure the equipment is installed, operated and maintained by trained and authorised personnel.
• For suitably equipped products in the event of an emergency press the red “emergency stop” button situated on
the front of the unit.

The 41-750 is a battery simulator module that can be
used to simulate the power supplies of cellular phones
and other portable battery devices. It features fully
floating output terminals that can deliver voltages up to
6 Volts. The fast responding remote sense connections
allow the module to regulate the supply voltage at
the device under test. The output terminals can float
±50V relative to the front panel ground to ensure the
accurate simulation of battery operation.
A module can source or sink current to provide
simulation of a battery supply or a battery under
charge. The use of two modules allows the simulation
of both the charger voltage source and the battery.
The programmable current sink can be set to divert
up to 0.5A of the load current, permitting the battery
simulator to act as a net current sink when connected
to a charger circuit. The 41-750 is capable of delivering
up to 2.8 Amps into the load.
The module derives its power from the PXI backplane
and requires no external power source.
The battery simulator can be configured to prevent
misleading operation. If the remote sense lines are
not connected to the device under test, the power
supply is automatically closed down. The alternative
configuration regulates the front panel voltage if the
sense lines are not connected to the load.
Monitoring of the output voltage and current is
provided through the simple to connect Pickering
Interfaces Monitor facility. A single DMM can be used
to report voltages and currents on multiple modules,
through an easily implemented daisy chain connection.
This facility can also be used to monitor other types of
modules in the Pickering range. The wide bandwidth
of the monitor facility allows the use of external data
acquisition devices to capture voltage and current
variations with time.
