Performing a Parallel Load Test
1. Connect the two SLB-Series units using the serial cable, one unit will act as the main
unit and the other as assistant unit
2. With both units select [System] under the main menu then select [Function]. Set both
SLB units "Parallel" to "2" from the default setting of "None"
3. Connect all cables including DAC (if applicable) from the main unit to the batteries
4. Connect load cables and voltage leads from the assistant unit to the batteries, do not
use DAC with assistant unit
5. Turn on the assistant unit but do set any parameters
6. Turn on the main unit, select [Battery DIS] from the main menu and setup the
discharge test parameters (like you would for a regular discharge). The upper limit for
discharge current will have increased to the sum of both unit's rated currents. Once
you start the test, the assistant unit will automatically provide the additional current
needed for the test, and will display this value on-screen.

Assistant Discharge Test

"Assistant discharge" is an auxiliary discharge to external discharge. This function is used when
batteries are connected online with other loads. You will need to purchase the optional current
clamp for this feature. Current range of clamp should be based on external loads, generally of
the same range or a little higher than external load current. When batteries are connected with
other loads (running equipment), current clamp can be used to test the amps discharged from
the batteries.
An example of this feature is if the other loads are discharging 10 amps from the batteries and
but your target is to discharge 25 amps, you could use the assistant discharge to handle the
remaining 15 amps.
To perform an assistant discharge:
1. Select [Assistant DIS] in the [Other test] menu.
2. Set discharge parameters
3. On the last screen where first cell polarity is set the ampere of the clamp type will need
to be entered
4. Set the clamp type to the same value as set for the discharge current.
5. Press the ENT button to start the discharge test
