SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

This section contains the basic safety symbols that may appear on the accompanying User Manual CD or on the instrument. For detailed safety instructions and precautions,  please see the Safety Instructions chapter in the user manual CD.

Safety Symbols
These safety symbols may appear in the user manual or on the instrument.

Warning| Warning: Identifies conditions or practices that could result in injury or loss of life.
---|---
Caution| Caution: Identifies conditions or practices that could result in damage to the instrument or to other properties.
| DANGER High Voltage
| Attention Refer to the Manual
| Protective Conductor Terminal
****| Earth (ground) Terminal
| Do not dispose electronic equipment as unsorted municipal waste. Please use a  separate collection facility or contact the supplier from which this instrument was purchased.

Power Cord for the United Kingdom
When using the instrument in the United Kingdom, make sure the power cord meets the following safety instructions.
NOTE: This lead/appliance must only be wired by competent persons.
WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED
IMPORTANT: The wires in this lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:

Green/ Yellow: Earth

As the colours of the wires in main leads may not correspond with the coloured marking identified in your plug/appliance, proceed as follows:
The wire which is coloured Green & Yellow must be connected to the Earth terminal marked with either the letter E, the earth symbol or coloured Green/Green & Yellow.
The wire which is coloured Blue must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter N or coloured Blue or Black.
The wire which is coloured Brown must be connected to the terminal marked with the letter L or ****or coloured Brown or Red.
If in doubt, consult the instructions provided with the equipment or contact the supplier.
This cable/appliance should be protected by a suitably rated and approved HBC mains fuse: refer to the rating information on the equipment and/or user instructions for  details. As a guide, a cable of 0.75mm2
should be protected by a 3A or 5A fuse. Larger conductors would normally require 13A types, depending on the connection method used.
Any exposed wiring from a cable, plug or connection that is engaged in a live socket is extremely hazardous. If a cable or plug is deemed hazardous, turn off the mains power  and remove the cable, any fuses and fuse assemblies. All hazardous wiring must be immediately destroyed and replaced in accordance to the above standard.

GETTING STARTED

The Getting Started chapter introduces the instrument’s main features, appearance, and set up procedure.

Overview
The PEL-2002 and PEL-2004 are multichannel programmable DC electronic load mainframes. The PEL-2002B mainframe is able to hold 2 load modules, whilst the PEL- 2004B is able to hold 4. The flexible module configuration allows the mainframes to either sink multiple loads independently or large loads when used in parallel.
The PEL-2000B series support four operation modes: constant current (CC), constant voltage (CV and CV+CC), constant resistance (CR) and constant power (CP).  Constant current and constant resistance mode can operate in either static or dynamic mode.

Load Module Line Up
The 4 different load module models each differ in the amount of current, voltage and power and the number of channels that the load module can accommodate. For detailed specifications, please see the user manual.

*Left/Right channel, Low/High range
**Low/High range

First Time Use Instructions
Use the following procedures when first using the PEL-2000B to power up the instrument, restore the factory default settings and check the firmware version. Lastly, the  Conventions section will introduce you to the basic operating conventions used throughout the user manual.

Power Up

1. Insert the AC power cord into the power socket.

2. Turn the power switch on from the rear panel. (O → —)

3. Hold the power button on the front panel to turn on the power.
   The power button turns green from red (standby). Warning
   Ensure that the power outlet has a ground socket. The power outlet will have a ground connection if it is a 3 socket type.
   Upon turning on, the Mainframe will perform a self-test. The self-test checks the System, followed by any attached channels.

4. If any of the System checks fail, please power down the load generator and reinstall the appropriate load module(s).
   Note
   When the firmware version of the mainframe and the slave are not identical, a message “The firmware will be updated, please access to website www.gwinstek.com to confirm the firmware version.” will appear on the mainframe.

Recall Factory Default Settings
The factory defaults can be recalled at any time. For details on the factory defaults please see the user manual.

1. Press .
2. Press Media[F1] repeatedly until the Media Default menu appears.
3. Press Recall [F4] to recall the factory default settings.
4. Wait a short time for the settings to be recalled.

Updating the Firmware
The PEL-2000B firmware can be easily updated using a USB memory stick. For the latest firmware please see your local GW Instek distributor or download the latest  firmware from www.gwinstek.com.
