Safe operation conditions (SOC)
1.
Pay attention to the wire connections and strictly follow the guidelines of this manual. A
reverse polarity may damage your device (especially EL300)
2.
During operation, potential on + terminal of EL1000 should be at least 1 V higher than the –
terminal of EL1000
3.
Always turn
ON
the electronic load (EL) after turning on the external load or external power
supply
4.
Always turn
OFF
the electronic load (EL) before turning off the external load or external power
supply
5.
Properly connect (with screws) the EPC42 cable with the electronic load. An accidental
unplugging of the EPC42 cable during operation may damage your device
6.
Remove all metallic jewellery/watches when working with high currents
7.
Don’t touch the electrical connections during the operation
8.
Never apply potential higher than the 12 V for EL300 and 100 V for EL1000.
9.
The maximum current through the + terminal of EL1000 must never exceed 200 A
10.
The maximum current through the shunt resistance of EL1000 must never exceed 680 A
