Simulate a Discharged Battery for Charger Testing
The Models 2302 and 2306 can sink up to 3A continuously, just like an elec-
tronic load. This allows these supplies to simulate a discharged rechargeable
battery for use in testing the performance of battery chargers or battery charg-
er control circuitry.
The Model 2306 Battery/Charger Simulator combines the functionality of both
the charging current source (the charger channel) and the current sinking to
simulate the recharging of a discharged battery (the battery channel) in a sin-
gle enclosure. (See
Figure 3
).
Open-Sense Lead Detection
The Model 2302 and 2306 have an automatic open–sense lead detection
capability, which indicates if there is a broken remote sense lead or an open
connection from a remote sense lead to the test fixture. To ensure the output
voltage does not change from the programmed level, which could cause pro-
duction devices to be improperly calibrated, the user can set high and low
limits around the desired voltage level.
Independent Digital Voltmeter Inputs
Many programmable power supplies offer output readback capabilities, but
the Model 2302 and 2306 also offer DVM inputs. Both instruments allow meas-
uring signals from –5V to +30V DC anywhere in the test system with the same
rated accuracy as the voltage readback. The Model 2306 has two sets of DVM
inputs; the Model 2302 has one. The DVMs and the power sources can oper-
ate simultaneously. For many applications, these built-in DVMs eliminate the
expense and space required to add a separate voltage measurement
instrument.
Remote Display Option
If the Model 2302, 2306, or 2306-PJ must be mounted in a location in which
the display is not readily visible, an optional Model 2306-DISP Display Module
can be mounted at a more convenient point, then plugged into the power
supply unit. The display module also includes all instrument controls, so that
the power supply can be operated remotely from the more accessible
location.

and 2306-PJ can provide the functions of both a charger-simulating
source and a discharged battery simulator.
