CV/CC/CW/CR operation
RS-232 interface cable and software included
Optional USB interface
Thermostat controlled internal fan
The
Model 8500 Programmable DC Electronic Load is a DC electronic
load-based tester that includes the necessary control and firmware
capabilities to make it a complete and self-contained solution for
automated functional testing of power devices. Through the front panel,
test programs can be created and then repeatedly executed with a single
keystroke. Test results can be sent to the front panel, printer or a
PC. The Model 8500 is a compact desk-top, ready-to-run test solution
that allows the test engineer to immediately start testing rather than
incurring the risks and delays associated with building one's own
tester. For
over 54 years, B&K Precision Corporation has developed a reputation
for excellence in the design and manufacture of high quality, reliable
and cost-effective test and measurement products. Recognized for their
price-performance value, ease of use, measurement accuracy and application flexibility, B&K Precision Corporation products are

The Model 8500 is ideal for DC power
supply and DC - DC converter testing and can be used in a stand-alone,
bench top application or as a PC controlled subsystem within a larger
automatic test station.
The ability to create and run automatic test programs highlights the
powerful capabilities of the Model 8500. For added convenience, a PC
may be used to build and edit test programs or view test results.
Unique software with built-in test algorithms, allows non-programmers
to automate complex series of instrument operations and measurements.
Playback of a saved test program then becomes a one-keystroke
operation. Test measurements or PASS/FAIL indications are shown on the
front panel display and may also be logged to a printer.
Available for immediate delivery, the Model 8500 300W Programmable DC
Electronic Load is priced at $995.00, and comes with a user instruction
manual and B&K Precision Corporation’s outstanding one-year
warranty.
