1.1 Introduction The PA 5740 range of battery simulators is high performance power amplifi er providing a stable and rugged power source for laboratory applications. The amplifi er has been designed specifi cally to simulate battery supplies. Such as 12, 24 and 42 V vehicle electrical systems.
There are three selectable ranges for compensation/bandwidth for the PA 5740. Bandwidths are high, allowing fast slew rates as required by numerous standards. The current limit is programmable from 10 to 100% of the output current capability.
2 sAFety instuCtions Be sure to observe the following safety precautions before you install the test system and put it into operation! Also follow all safety instructions in the manuals of the connected peripheral devices. NOTE! Always keep operating instructions for future use! Store the operating instructions so that they are always accessible to all operating personnel.

2.3 Excess voltage category The test equipment PA 5740, as described in this manual, is related to the excess voltage category II according IEC 60664. 2.4 Application area These instructions apply to the entire system. Other safety regulations for com- ponents used or devices additionally installed in the test system are not voided by these instructions and are to be followed.
The test system should only be operated by qualified personnel. Making set- tings, maintenance work and repairs on an opened device can only be carried out by the appropriately trained personnel. Teseq and its representatives will only guarantee for maintenance and repair when it has been carried out by its own service personnel.

Risk of damage by condensation! When the equipment is brought from cold to warm environment, a dangerous conditions can result from condensation.
The power cord of the equipment is located on the back of the equipment. The power input is secured with a delayed action fuse (for details, refer to chapter 5.3 Protection). The power plug and outlet must have grounding contacts. PA 5740 - Automotive battery simulators...
NSG series. To benefit from all advantages of the PA 5740 it is best controlled by your NSG 5000 series. But of course if the specifications described in chapter 3.4.1.2 CONTROL input specifications are considered, the PA 5740 can be controlled by any other analog function generator as well.

1-10 A. CAUTION! Risk of destruction by wrong voltage! If the PA 5740 is controlled by any alternative function generator it care has to be taken that the voltage at the Ilim+ pin must be at least +1 V.
3.4.2 The output connectors The output connectors of the PA 5740 series (front) The output connectors of the PA 5740 series (back) 3.4.2.1 The power output connectors The “POSITIVE/NEGATIVE POWER” connectors are used to connect the output to the DUT or to the NSG 5000 series.
Risk of destruction of the DUT or couplers! Monitor the DUT to ensure no ringing or excessive over- shoot is present. In case there is a question you should use the CAPACI- TIVE mode. PA 5740 - Automotive battery simulators...
4.2 The system stop button This button toggles between the available gain options of the amplifier: GAIN HIGH (x7) Indicates a gain of seven. 1 V in will result in 7 V output voltage. GAIN LOW (x1) Indicates a gain of one. 1 V in will result in 1 V output voltage.

The PA 5740 series is often used for starting profile simulation (pulse 4 and variants). In addition, several standards require synchronized starting profiles. Utilizing the NSG 5000 series for control, the PA 5740 (or the PA 5840) is the best solution for all known starting profiles with up to four synchronized starting profiles.
5.3 Fast rise time for challenging voltage dip applications Certain standards, such as Ford ES-XW7T-1A278-AC specify ~10 μs rise and fall times for the battery simulator. The PA 5740 is designed to fully meet the relevant standards and is often used for dips and drops applications where <10 μs rise times are specified.
The equipment must be stored in upright (working) position. Make sure the equip- ment is protected against humidity, dust and dirt. Observe the environmental conditions specified in chapter 7.1 Environmental conditions. PA 5740 - Automotive battery simulators...
6.3 Protection The PA 5740 Automotive battery simulators are protected with a slow-blow fuse. Dependent on the supply voltage a fuse with a different ampere rating is equipped: Type No of phases Supply voltage U Primary current I PA 5740-75 / 100 V 100 V 12.5 A...
