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.

●750V Independent Isolation Barriers
●Up To 300mA Output Per Simulator
●Battery Charging Emulation To 100mA
●Uses Backplane Power Sources
●Hardware shutdown control
●VISA and Kernel Drivers Supplied For
Windows XP/Vista/7/8 Plus Soft Front Panel
●Use In Pickering 19-Slot PXI Chassis Or
18-Slot LXI Chassis
The 41-752 is a 6 channel battery simulator, each channel
being capable of supplying up to 7V and 300mA to the
load. Each channel is fully isolated from ground and from
each other allowing the channels to be connected in series
to simulate batteries arranged in a stacked architecture. The
750V isolation barrier permits the 41-752 to be used to
create a lower power version of a battery stack representative
of those used for vehicle propulsion.
Each battery simulator provides independent power and
sense connections, allowing the battery simulator to sense
a remote load and correct for wiring voltage losses. The
battery simulator is designed to respond to dynamic loads,
minimizing the need for local decoupling capacitors at the
load.
A signal line on the user connector allows the user to
shutdown all battery simulator channels with a single
connection. Mulitple module control lines may be linked
together to provide an easy way of inhibiting voltage
generation when using many series connected modules
that provide high output voltages and providing a means of
automatic shutdown when connectors are removed.

Power Requirements from PXI Power Supply
+3.3V +5V +12V -12V
0.8A 2.0A 0.6A 0.3A
At maximum load for all channels,
Recommended chassis are 60-103 and 60-103A or 40-923
and 40-923A for applications requiring many modules (up to
18 off) in a single chassis to avoid chassis limitations.
Specification
Number of Channels: 6 independent isolated channels.
Output Voltage Range: 0 to 7V, settable with 14-bit
resolution (approximately 0.43mV).
Output Voltage Accuracy: ± 0.2% ± 20mV from 1V to 7V output
over ambient temperature range
+ 11
° C to +31 ° C.
Isolation Voltage: ±750V
Output Current: Up to 300mA per channel for
voltages from 2.5V to 7V
Linearly de-rate to 200mA into a
short circuit below 2.5V without
thermal shutdown.
Current Sink: Variable current sink permits
the output to be loaded so the
battery simulator can sink current
from a charger. Current sink can
be set from 0 to 100mA in 16
steps. Current sink setting reduces
the current available at the user
connector.
Output Connections: Vout+, Vout- and two sense inputs
for each simulator channel.
Sense inputs detect output voltage
at front panel connector if no
remote sense lines are connected.
Load Response Time: 250µs
Power Source: PXI backplane +12V, +5V, +3.3V
and -12V.
Protection: All simulators are short circuit
protected, reverse voltage
protected and include thermal
shutdown.
