  • Page 4 Safety precautions The following safety precautions should be observed before using this product and any associated instrumentation. Although some instruments and accessories would normally be used with nonhazardous voltages, there are situations where hazardous conditions may be present. This product is intended for use by personnel who recognize shock hazards and are familiar with the safety precautions required to avoid possible injury.
  • Page 5 Operators of this product must be protected from electric shock at all times. The responsible body must ensure that operators are prevented access and/or insulated from every connection point. In some cases, connections must be exposed to potential human contact. Product operators in these circumstances must be trained to protect themselves from the risk of electric shock.

    Model 2306 Quick Results Guide NOTE This quick results guide provides information on four different models of battery or battery/charger simulators (Models 2302, 2302-PJ, 2306, and 2306-PJ). In this guide, references to Model 2306 apply to all of the simulators unless otherwise noted.
  • Page 11: Introduction

    Introduction Introduction This guide is designed to familiarize users of the Keithley Model 2306 Dual Channel Battery/ Charger Simulator and Model 2302 Single Channel Battery Simulator with the basic operating features available from the instrument’s front panel and also the GPIB bus. The sequence of operating instructions reflects the order in which the instrument would be configured for a typ- ical application.

    Proper connection of the supply to the DUT On some sensitive or easily damaged devices under test (DUTs), the NOTE instrument power-down sequence can apply transient signals to the DUT that may affect or damage it. When testing this type of DUT, disconnect it from the instrument before turning the instrument off.

    Front panel operation Failure to connect the sense leads in this fashion will severely compromise the performance of Model 2306 with dynamic loads. Figure 4 illustrates the proper connection of the supply to the DUT using a 2-wire local sense configuration. Figure 4 2-wire local sense connection of the DUT to the output Quick Disconnect...
  • Page 14: Setting The Output Voltage, Current Range, And Current Limit

    Front panel operation Setting the output voltage, current range, and current limit Output voltage can be set from 0 to 15V. For the Model 2306 and 2302, there are two ranges for current, 5A and 5mA. For the Model 2306-PJ and 2302-PJ, there are also two ranges for cur- rent, 5A and 500mA.
  • Page 15 Front panel operation NPLC rate The integration (reading) rate of the instrument is specified as a parameter based on the num- ber of power-line cycles (NPLC), where 1 PLC for 60Hz line frequency is 16.67msec. In gen- eral, the fastest integration time (0.01 PLC) results in increased reading noise. The slowest integration time (10 PLC) provides the best common-mode and normal-mode rejection.

  • Page 19: Pulsed Waveform

    Front panel operation The pulse measurement period T can be selected manually or be automatically set by the Model 2306. First, the user must specify a trigger level that serves as a threshold to initiate inte- gration process, i.e., at t = 0. Once the trigger level is selected, the output is turned on and the pulsed load is operational, the 2306 can be prompted to automatically determine the high time, low time, and average time in pulsed current mode according to Figure 5.

    Advanced features Two methods are used to determine the impedance value of the cell or battery pack. The first method uses data from the battery manufacturer or another source and is simply entered into the Model 2306 from the front panel or over the GPIB bus. The second method involves a simple series of measurements as follows.

    Advanced features Variable output bandwidth Testing the performance of the battery charger circuitry in a handset does not require the high bandwidth performance in channel #1 or channel #2 of the Model 2306. Since a charger circuit is a voltage regulated circuit, it resembles a high capacitance load to the output of the Model 2306.
