circumstances, too lower value may affect the test results because the test has been finished before the power supply
reaches static state, so please carefully select the delay time you wanted to set. The recommended delay time is 0.5S.
Note: 25.5S is set as suspended mode. So the delay time of a certain step is set as 25.5S, the load will stop to be

If users have prepared all things well, press the key On/Off to initiate the automatic test. The
automatic test can also be initiated by lowering the voltage level of TRIG IN port and lasting more than 5mS. When
in testing, the right lower corner of the VFD display will show WAIT or STAY, meaning waiting for testing or
staying in the suspended mode respectively. Please retrigger it so that it goes on testing.
After testing, the right lower corner of the VFD display will show either PASS or FAIL. When failure, the
buzzer will sound. At this moment, initiate next trigger or press any key to free from the indication of pass or fail.
When once automatic test is finished, users can press the ▲ and ▼ keys to initiate manually operated test
mode. Every time press the key ▲ or the key ▼ once, the load will begin to the carrying test of the last step or the
next step. Users can observe the actual state of every step. When the key ON/OFF is pressed or a trigger is input, the
electronic load will automatically exit from the manually operated test mode and start to automatic test again.
Electronic load works in the range of Rated Current, Rated voltage and Rated Power. Please refer to the picture

Note: The maximum current value of ELP/DCM9711 electronic load is 30A. When it is beyond 30A, it will be
automatically adjusted to 30A.
Besides, the maximum current value has close relation with the current resolution. If the maximum current
value is or is below 3A, the load current resolution will be 0.01mA; If the maximum current value is beyond 3A,
then the load current resolution will be only 0.1mA.
When in CV, CR and CP mode, if load consumes high current, the power supplier will produce voltage drop in
the connecting wire between measured power supplier and load terminals. In order to guarantee the measurement
accuracy, remote measurement terminals is installed at the rear-panel of the electronic load. Users can measure the
output terminals voltage of measured power supplier by these terminals.
The remote measurement function can be set by pressing the key Shift+0(Menu). When the VFD display
shows MENU SYSTEM SET, press the key Enter to confirm. Then the VFD display shows SYSTEM
IMAX=xxxxxxxxA. Press the Up and Down keys to make adjustment until the VFD display shows SYSTEM
TERMINAL SEL indicating to set the parameters of the current remote measurement function, then press the key
Enter to confirm. When the VFD display shows TERMINAL SELECT FRONT or TERMINAL SELECT BACK,
27
ET System electronic GmbH
press the Up and Down keys to select the parameters of remote measurement function. Showing TERMINAL
SELECT FRONT means input terminals selected is at the front panel and the remote measurement function of the
rear panel is closed; showing TERMINAL SELECT BACK means input terminals selected is at the rear panel and
the remote measurement function of the front panel is closed. Then press the key Esc to escape the Menu item.
Note: At any time either the input terminals at the front panel or at the back panel is initiated. It is impossible to
initiate the input terminals both at the front panel and at the back panel together. If the voltage of the load is near to
zero point and does not change according to the signal, please check if the wire mode matches the parameters of the
remote measurement function.
Experiment proves the test with load is the best method to ensure the battery whether work well or not. Only
with the correct load testing, the battery can be confirmed if it was being the expectant life curve location. The
ELP/DCM9711 electronic loads can be used to test any type of the battery nowadays.
As to any battery used either in sheltered equipment or in the uninterrupted service system, it is necessary to
use the load testing. Because the battery is the lowest reliable component, it must be tested by the load periodically
to ensure the reliability of the battery.
Capability Test
Constant current mode is applied in ELP/DCM9711 Serial electronic load to test the capability. A program is
set to control voltage level. When the voltage of the battery is too low, the electronic load will identify the battery
being on the threshold value set or at the margin of insecure state and will stop testing automatically. When the load
is in testing procedure, you can see the battery voltage, battery discharge current, electronic, load power and battery
capability that has been spared. If the load is connected with PC software, then you can see the discharge curve of
battery discharge. This test can test out the reliability and remaining life of battery. So it is very necessary to do the
test before you change another new battery.
Operation:
1) In standard constant current mode, adjust the load current value to the discharge current value of battery
required.
2) Press the key Shift+8(Battery). When VFD display shows END TEST VOLT= xxxxxxxxV,set the
turn-off voltage and press the key Enter to start the capability test. When the voltage drops to the turn-off
voltage, the load will automatically turn off.
3) Press the key On/Off to start or to pause the battery capability test.
4) Press the key Shift+8(Battery)to escape the battery capability test mode.

4.8.1 Introduction
ELP/DCM97 series programmable electronic loads work with Modbus protocol. The data frame contains 4 parts as
follows:
To make sure high reliability for the communication, we need to set the frame pitch greater than 3.5 times of the
transient time of single bit byte. Eg. When the baud rate is 9600, then the frame pitch time must be greater than
11*3.5/9600=0.004s.
ELP/DCM97 series programmable electronic loads provided with double way asynchronous communication, fixed 1
bit as the start bit, 8 data bit, and 1 stop bit. Support Non parity check, Odd Parity check and even parity check.
Baudrate could be selected as 2400, 9600, 14400, 28800, 57600, 115200.
29
ET System electronic GmbH
Note: The valid additional address number is integers in the range of 1-200.
4.8.3 Data
In some data frame, the date length is fixed, but there are some data frame length is not fixed. According to Modbus
protocol, in the data field, all the hex data and floating point number are formed as the High Byte in the former and
Low byte in the after. Addition,the output value of force single coil must be 0x0000 or 0xFF00. 0x0000 means OFF,
while 0xFF00 means ON. All other values are invalid and will not affect the coil.
For example:
The following example reads the load input state (ISTATE) of Coil at slave device address 0x01.
From table 4.8.7.1, we know that the ISTATE address is 0x0510.
Query: 0x01 0x01 0x05 0x10 0x00 0x01 0xFC 0xC3
The Corresponding Nomal Response: 0x01 0x01 0x01 0x48 0x51 0xBE, among which, 0x48 is the read-back data
and its lowest bit is 0, this means the input state ISTATE is OFF.
A value of 0xFF00 forces the coil to be ON, and 0x0000 forces the coil to be turned OFF. All other values are
invalid and will not affect the coil.
For example:
The following example sets the load is in remote control at slave device address 0x01.
From table 4.8.7.1, we know that the PC1 remote address is 0x0510.
Query: 0x01 0x05 0x05 0x00 0xFF 0x00 0x8C 0xF6
The Correponding Response: 0x01 0x05 0x05 0x00 0xFF 0x00 0x8C 0xF6
For example:
The following example reads the present voltage value at slave device address 0x01.
From table 4.8.7.1, we know that the register address of the present voltage value is 0x0B00,
Query: 0x01 0x03 0x0B 0x00 0x00 0x02 0xC6 0x2F

The Corresponding Nomal Response: 0x01 0x03 0x04 0x41 0x20 0x00 0x2A 0x6E 0x1A, among which, 0x41
0x20 0x00 0x2A is the read-back voltage value, the corresponding floating point number is 10V.
For example:
The following example sets the load’s constant current IFIX is 2.3A at slave device address 0x01.
From table 4.8.7.1, we know that the IFIX register address is 0x0A01, the floating point takes up two-word length.
