Safety and Regulatory Notices 

 

 

 

Residual voltage after switch-off. 
In case of connected DUT, the output terminals can still carry voltages even after 
switch-off of the system! 

 

Measure the voltage at the outputs to ensure that they are voltage-free. 

 

 

Danger to life due to charging or discharging batteries. 
Batteries are sensitive to overloading/underloading and might explode or start 
burning. This can lead to danger for life and limb.

 

 

Therefore, a battery must be monitored by a battery management system 
(BMS). 

 

 

Hearing protection due to noise exposure in the operating area! 

 

Noise level < 85 dB(A) at a distance of 1 m from the front 

 

It is recommended to wear hearing protection during operation. 

Safety and Monitoring Devices 

The system has monitoring devices that switch-off the system in case of 
emergency. If additional systems are connected to the SL1200A Scienlab 
Regenerative AC Emulator, it is recommended that the systems are inte-
grated into a higher-level safety device. 

 

Main switch 

 

On the front side 

 

I ON: power supply switched on 

 

O OFF: power supply switched off, communication with the 
system is maintained 

 

Trip: when 

emergency stop is triggered → system switches 

off, main switch in position Trip 

 

Note: In the 0 OFF position, the main switch can be locked 
using a padlock 

 

Emergency stop push button 

 

On the front side 

 

Press: forces local emergency stop of the system  
(Responds: see safety relay) 

 

Turn counterclockwise: unlocks 

 

Functional test of the emergency stop button: monthly
