Main-Power-Switch for everything: located at back of box.

The Electric Load XY-FZ35

Do not exceed maximums

Max Voltage 25V
Max Current 5A
Max Power Wattage 35W

Settings

OVP overvoltage protection (default 25.2V)
OCP overflow protection (default 5.10A)
OPP power protection (default 35.5W)
OTP over-temperature protection (at > 80°C, LCD flickers)
LVP undervoltage protection (default 1.5V)
When discharging a battery, set this to prevent damage to the battery

The electronic load automatically saves the switching state before shutting down and resumes with the last state (power == on/off)

Discharge capacity Statistics:

the load current is not zero start statistics, until the next load current is zero, it is believed that the completion of a discharge process, statistical end

Discharge time Statistics:

from the current is not zero start statistics, to the next load current is zero, think that the completion of a test process, statistical end;

Set maximum Capacity (OAH):

When the OAH function is started, when the load discharge capacity is higher than the maximum capacity set, the electronic load stops
automatically and flashes to display “OAH”, and when the OAH alarm is lifted, the capacity statistics are automatically emptied

Set the maximum discharge time (OHP):

When the OHP function is started, when the load running time is greater than the maximum discharge time set, the electronic load stops
automatically and flashes to display “OHP”, and when OHP alarm is lifted, the time statistics are automatically emptied;

Note: If neither OAP or OHP are set, the electronic load will record the discharge capacity and discharge time. When the OHP function is turned on, the running time of the electronic load is the countdown mode

Data group Features
DAT0 Flashing shows only the capacity value and running time of the previous stage, and does not accumulate in the next run
DAT1 Flashing shows the capacity value and running time of the previous stage and will accumulate in future runs

Serial Interface

Connect your PC via USB port above FZ35. Use serial console with 9600 8 N 1
