Product Overview
This section describes the main features and menus of the MDL Series DC Electronic Load. The MDL
Series is comprised of two parts, mainframes and modules. The mainframes mentioned are the
MDL001 mainframe and the MDL002 mainframe extension. Modules in this series include the
MDL200, MDL252, MDL305, MDL400, MDL505, and MDL600. Unless otherwise noted, this
document will refer to all of these instruments as “electronic load”. The range of each module’s
specific voltage, current, and power is listed in the Specifications section.
Description
The MDL Series is a multi-channel programmable DC electronic load system. With programming
and remote control capabilities, the MDL Series DC electronic load can provide multiple solutions
according to the requirements of your design and is suitable for testing a wide range of power
sources from multi-output DC power supplies to batteries, fuel cells, and photovoltaic arrays.
Up to four modules can be installed into the MDL001 mainframe to support up to a total of 8
channels. Adding the MDL002 mainframe extension will enable the system to support four
additional module slots for a maximum of 16 channels. The electronic load is configured by
installing user-selectable modules into the mainframe and operated using the front panel keypad
and rotary knob. It can also be controlled remotely via USB, RS-232C, LAN, or GPIB interface. The
electronic load modules all have similar functions, but may differ in range of input voltage, current,
and power. The high resolution voltage and current measurement system provides both accuracy
and convenience.
The electronic load can be used in one of five different operation modes: constant voltage (CV),
constant current (CC), constant resistance (CR), constant power (CW), or constant impedance (CZ).
All panel operation and programming functions are carried out on the MDL001 mainframe panel. A
wide range of dynamic loading applications can be simulated through user-programmable slew
rates, load levels, duration, and conducting voltage.

Protection Functions
The electronic load has the following protection functions: Overvoltage protection (OVP),
overcurrent protection (OCP), overpower protection (OPP), overtemperature protection (OTP), and
local and remote reverse voltage protection (LRV/RRV).
The mainframe will act appropriately once any of the above protections are active. You can press
any button on the front panel to restore the protection function. For example, if the electronic
load triggers the overtemperature protection, the buzzer will alarm, the input will automatically
turn off, and the mainframe VFD will display OTP.
Overvoltage Protection (OVP)
If the OVP circuit has triggered, input will turn off, buzzer alarm will go off, and the status register’s
OV and VF bit will be set. The mainframe will display OVP and the condition will remain until they
are reset. Once overvoltage protection occurs, the 8-pin connector’s VF pin on the rear panel will
output TTL high voltage level. You can control the output state of the power supply under test via
this pin (see Figure 31).
Operations to Clear the OVP State
Check whether the input voltage is within the electronic load’s rated voltage or the programmed
protection voltage ranges. If it is outside the range, please disconnect the device under test. Then
press any key on the front panel or remotely send SCPI command PROTection:CLEar. The OVP
displayed on the front panel will turn off and the electronic load exits OVP protection state.
Overcurrent Protection (OCP)
The electronic load includes both hardware and software overcurrent protection features.
Hardware OCP - The electronic load’s maximum input current will be limited to approximately
110% of the current range. Once the hardware OCP is triggered, the status register’s OC bit will be
set. When the hardware OCP is removed, the status register’s OC bit will be reset. Hardware
overcurrent protection will not affect the electronic load’s on/off state.
Software OCP - Users can set the electronic load’s software OCP value with the following steps.

The electronic load includes both hardware and software OPP features.
Hardware OPP – In the event that the electronic load’s input power exceeds the set power
protection limit, the hardware OPP will limit the power. Once the hardware OPP is triggered, the
status register’s OP bit will be set. When the hardware OPP is removed, the status register’s OP bit
will be reset. Hardware overpower protection will not turn the electronic load’s input off.
Software OPP - Users can set the electronic load’s software OPP value with the following steps.
If the electronic load’s power value is above the set overpower protection value, the electronic
load will automatically turn off and the VFD will display OPP. At the same time, the OP and PS bits
in the status register will be set and remain until they are reset.
14
Operations to Clear the OPP State
Check whether the input power is within the rated power range or the programmed protection
ranges. If it is outside the range, disconnect the device under test. Then press any key on the front
panel or remotely send command PROTection:CLEar. The OPP displayed on the front panel will
turn off and the electronic load exits OPP protection state.
Overtemperature Protection (OTP)
Each module has an overtemperature protection circuit, which will turn off the input if the internal
temperature exceeds safe limits. When the electronic load’s internal circuit temperature is over
85C, the load will enable OTP. Input will automatically be turned off and the VFD will display OTP.
At the same time the OT and PS bits in the status register will be set and remain until they are
reset.
Operations to Clear the OTP State
When the electronic load temperature has dropped below the protection point, press any key on
the front panel or remotely send command PROTection:CLEar. The OTP displayed on the front
panel will turn off and the electronic load exits OTP protection state.
Reverse Voltage Protection (LRV/RRV)
This function protects the electronic load in case the input DC voltage lines are connected with the
wrong polarity. When a reverse voltage (LRV – local reverse voltage, RRV – remote reverse voltage)
connection condition is detected, the input will immediately turn off, the buzzer will alarm the
user, and the status register’s reverse voltage (LRV/RRV) and VF bits will be set. The mainframe will
display LRV/RRV until they are reset.
In this condition, the 8-pin connector’s VF pin will output a high level. You can disconnect the
power supply via this signal (see Figure 31).
Operations to Clear the Reverse Voltage State
Check whether the connection is reversed. If so, disconnect the device to be measured and the
reverse voltage state will be cleared.

23
Figure 3d - Module Installation
6. Install more modules in other slots following the same process (steps 2 through 5).
7. Reconnect the power cord.
Channel Number
The channel number for all modules is determined by the location of the modules in relation to the
mainframe and ordered from right to left. With the MDL001 mainframe, the total number of
channels is 8. Channels 1 and 2 are next to the mainframe front panel, while channels 7 and 8 are
located on the left side. Load channel number is fixed even if the location is unoccupied. Dualchannel modules such as the MDL252 have two channels. If it is a single-channel module, the
channel number is automatically assigned the first number of the slot. Figure 4 shows the default
channel number order.
