Technical Data Display LCD (128 x 64 pixels)

Input During discharge: real time voltage / current / test time / Ah discharged

User can set: end system voltage / test time / Capacity discharged (Ah) Test Type Unit controls the current so it stays where it is set throughout the test

Protection Over heat / Over load / Over voltage protection with audible alarm and screen warning

Power Supply 24/48 Vdc modules use DC power supply (from tested battery) 125 and 250 Vdc models use AC power supply (120 Vac 60 Hz)

3.2.1 SBS-4815S, SBS-4830S are powered from the DC load, so there is no power supply connector for these models.

3.2.2 For other SBS-S series types, connect SBS-S with AC 120V 60Hz power source by power supply cable.

4. Start Up And Input Operation

4.1 After the load connections are made, turn on the power switch to start up SBS-S series Load Bank.

4.2 All settings of the SBS-S are input through the 6 control buttons beneath the LCD screen.

4.3 On the welcome screen, you can see our company name, the model number, and tester name. Press any key to enter the main menu, if 10 seconds elapse without a key press, the system will switch to the main menu automatically.

Stop reason

SBS-S SERIES LOAD BANK USER MANUAL

Rev 1.1 9-24-2013

WARNINGS a) Please read the entire manual prior to using the test equipmentb) The tester features a number of built in safety features to allow for unmonitored operation,however, it is at the users discretion to operate the unit unmanned. c) In the event of a fault or warning during the test, an audible warning will sound and a visualwarning will be displayed. Please turn off the AC power source to avoid a further damage.

Parallel Operation The SBS S Series load banks can be operated in parallel with the SBS-8400 or another S Series load bankof the same voltage range. The External Current Clamp (SBS Part # 8400-600A) must be used to

share load information between the two load banks. Each load bank must be set up to control its

own portion of the load and must operate within its operational limits per the specifications. The master load bank where the current clamp is plugged into will display the total load current of the system when the discharge test is running.
