The warning items given below are to avoid danger to the user's body
and life and avoid the damage and deterioration of the product.
Use the product, observing the following warning and caution items.
■ Warning items on power supply
● Power supply voltage
As the rated power supply voltage of the product, the range from
100 to 240 VAC can be used without being switched.
● Power cord
Important: The attached power cord set can be used for this
device only.
● Protection fuse
If an input protection fuse is blown, the product does not operate.
When the fuse is blown, the user can replace it. However, replace it
correctly, observing the warning and caution items that are provided in
the section of the instruction manual where the fuse replacement is
explained. If the fuse is incorrectly replaced, a fire may occur.
● Changing the power supply voltage
The rated power supply voltage cannot be changed. Use the
product only at the rated power supply voltage indicated on the
product. Otherwise, a fire may occur. The product's rated power
supply voltage is from 100 to 240 VAC. Use the product in this
range. (For use at a voltage higher than 125 VAC, Please
confirm the voltage ratings of the power cord.)
■ Warning item on grounding
The product has the GND terminal on the panel surface to protect the
user from electric shock and protect the product. Be sure to ground
the product to safely use it.

III
USING THE PRODUCT SAFELY
WARNING
■ Warning item on installation environment
● Operating temperature
Use the product within the operating temperature indicated in the
rating column. If the product is used with the vents of the product
blocked or in high ambient temperatures, a fire may occur.
● Operating humidity
Use the product within the operating humidity indicated in the rating
column. Watch out for condensation by a sharp humidity change
such as transfer to a room with a different humidity. Also, do not
operate the product with wet hands. Otherwise, an electric shock
or fire may occur.
● Use in a gas
Use in and around a place where an inflammable or explosive gas
or steam is generated or stored may result in an explosion and fire.

IV
USING THE PRODUCT SAFELY
CAUTION
■ Input/output terminal
Maximum input to the input terminals is specified to prevent the product
from being damaged. Do not supply input, exceeding the specifications
that are indicated in the "Rating" or "Caution on use" columnin the
instruction manual of the product. Otherwise, a product failure is caused.
Also, do not supply power to the output terminals from the outside.
Otherwise, a product failure is caused.
■ When the product is left unused for a long time
Be sure to remove the power plug from the outlet.
(Calibration)
Although the performance and specifications of the product are
checked under strict quality control during shipment from the factory,
they may aging rate because of aging rate in its parts. It is
recommended to periodically calibrate the product so that it is used
with its performance and specifications stable. For consultation
about the product calibration, call the dealer or the company or each
sales office where you bought the product.
(Daily maintenance)
When you clean off the dirt of the product covers, panels, and knobs,
avoid solvents such as thinner and benzene. Otherwise, paint may

To wipe off the covers, panels, and knobs, use a soft cloth with
neutral detergent in it. During cleaning, be careful that water,
detergents, and other foreign matters do not get into the product.
If a liquid or metal gets into the product, an electric shock and fire are
caused. During cleaning, remove the power cord plug from the outlet.

1. GETTING STARTED
This chapter provides a brief overview of the LSG Series, the
package contents, instructions for first time use and an
introduction to the front panel, rear panel and GUI.
1-1. LSG Series Introduction
The LSG Series is a family of high performance DC electronic loads
positioned to test a wide range of different power sources. The DC
electronic loads are fully programmable to simulate anything from
basic static loads to complex dynamic loads. With the ability to
operate independently or in parallel, the LSG Series is extremely
robust and capable of molding to any test environment.
Please note that throughout this manual the term “LSG Series” refers
to any one of the models in the series lineup, unless specifically
stated otherwise.
1-1-1. Model Line Up
There are a total of 3 DC electronic load models and 1 booster
