Introduction This User’s Guide describes the ES4455.1 Load Board. It consists of the following chapters: • "Introduction" on page 5 This chapter – here you will find general information on the ES4455.1 Load Board. • "Hardware" on page 11 This chapter describes the individual function units of the ES4455.1 Load Board in more detail.
Applications The ES4455.1 Load Board is a carrier board for accommodating two modules (each with two channels) for simulating high-current loads (to 90 V and to 20 A), such as injection loads. In the ES4408.1 Load Chassis there are three 14 HP slots for accommodating ES4455.1 Load Boards or pre-assembled variants (see "“Pre-Assembled...

For more information on the modules, refer to the chapter "Accessories" on page 21. “Pre-Assembled Solutions” with Integrated Load Modules The ES4455.1 Load Board can also be supplied as an assembled version with these modules under the following names: •...
The user is obliged to collect the old devices separately and return them to the WEEE take-back system for recycling. The WEEE directive concerns all ETAS devices but not external cables or batteries. For more information on the ETAS GmbH Recycling Program, contact the ETAS sales and service locations (see "ETAS Contact Addresses"...
Hardware This chapter describes the individual function units of the ES4455.1 Load Board in more detail. These are: • "Numbering the Loads on an ES4455.1 Load Board" on page 11 – "Load Signals to the Backplane" on page 12 •...
2.1.1 Load Signals to the Backplane Slots 1 - 3 of the ES4408.1 Load Chassis are intended for the integration of the injection loads (for more details, refer to the ES4408.1 Load Chassis) User’s Guide. The supply of the signals from the backplane connectors of the ES4408.1 Load Chassis is as follows: Load 1+ Load 1-...
2.2.1 Configuring the Current Transducers The range of currents to be measured is configured using solder straps (on the solder side of the ES4455.1 Load Board) at the current transducers (see Fig. 2-1 on page 11). 7 8 9 Front Fig.

2.2.2 Calibration ETAS provides a calibration service for correcting any current converter and threshold offsets for the front panel LEDs. The order data is as follows: Order Name Short Name Order Number Calibration Service for ES4455 K_ES4455 F-00K-106-386 Calibration Service for ES4450...
2.3.1 Configuring Current Measuring Current measuring (for all loads installed on the carrier board) is configured using the “JP200” jumper strip. Fig. 2-1 on page 11 shows the position of the jumper strip on the board – this is only accessible when the rear load is removed. The possible settings are shown in Fig.
Settings in LABCAR-RTC The software settings for the ES4455.1 Load Board are described below. To set the beeper • To enable/disable the acoustic signal to indicate when a threshold has been exceeded (see "To set thresholds for LEDs" on page 17), select the option “Beeper”...
