Product catalog summary
Overview
The PLA series of electronic loads combines classic design with modern interfaces, suitable for applications ranging from 200 W to 1,200 W and voltage capabilities from 60 V to 800 V. It supports interfaces like Ethernet, USB, RS-232, and optionally CAN and GPIB for models above 400 W, using SCPI syntax for programming.
Key Features
  • Operating Modes: Constant current, voltage, resistance, and power.
  • Protections: Overcurrent, undervoltage, power limitation, overtemperature, and ground line protection.
  • Load Profiles: Up to 100 settings with variable dwell and ramp times.
  • Data Acquisition: Saves up to 100 data points with timestamps.
  • Master-Slave Operation: Connect up to 5 devices for increased power or current.
  • Watchdog Function: Protects the unit under test during communication disruptions.
  • Characteristic Function: Maps voltage sequences to current sequences.
  • Settings Memory: Save and recall configurations for different applications.
Loading Capacity
The series includes 24 models across four power classes (200 W, 400 W, 800 W, 1,200 W). Models up to 300 V have overload capabilities dependent on the power stage temperature.
Interfaces
  • Standard: Analog I/O Port.
  • Optional: Ethernet, USB, RS-232, CAN, GPIB (for specific models).
Factory Calibration
An optional Factory Calibration Certificate (FCC) is available, meeting DIN EN ISO 9000ff standards, with a recommended calibration interval of 2 years.
Software Tools
  • PLA Tool: A free graphical software tool for controlling PLA series loads, offering settings, data logging, and visualization features.
  • List Editor: Create dynamic load profiles with ease.
  • Data Viewer: Visualize and export measurement data.
  • Measurement Recorder: Records voltage, current, and power over time.
Model Specifications
The document provides detailed specifications for various models, including maximum input voltage, current, continuous and short-time power, resistance settings, rise/fall times, load terminals, power consumption, noise levels, weight, and housing dimensions.
Additional Notes
  • Models are available with low current in the mA range upon request.
  • Installation depth is specified without connected cables.
General Overview: This document outlines the General Standard Terms and Conditions of Business (GTC) for Höcherl & Hackl GmbH (H&H), effective from March 5, 2015. It covers various aspects such as pricing, payment terms, delivery conditions, liability, and retention of title.
Prices and Terms of Payment: Prices are quoted ex-factory, excluding packaging, and are subject to change based on cost variations. VAT is not included in the prices and will be added separately. Payment is due within 30 days of the invoice date, with specific terms for orders over EUR 25,000. Discounts are available for early payments.
Cancellation Regulation: Unilateral cancellation is not allowed, and a cancellation fee of 30% of the net order value applies unless otherwise agreed.
Delivery Terms: Delivery is typically CIP (Carriage and Insurance Paid) according to Incoterms® 2010. Partial deliveries are allowed, and the customer bears costs in case of acceptance default.
Export Control: H&H is not obligated to deliver goods requiring export authorization. Customers must ensure compliance with export restrictions and indemnify H&H against damages from violations.
Liability for Defects: Customers must inspect and report defects as per the German Commercial Code. H&H offers options for defect resolution, including repair or replacement. Liability is limited to foreseeable damages unless gross negligence or intent is involved.
Joint and Several Liability: Liability beyond what is specified in the document is excluded, particularly for tort claims or contract violations.
Retention of Title: H&H retains ownership of goods until full payment is received. Customers must handle goods with care and notify H&H of any third-party claims.
Place of Performance and Jurisdiction: The principal place of business is the place of jurisdiction, and German law applies. The CISG is excluded unless explicitly referenced.

Functions PLA Series Overcurrent and undervoltage protection An overcurrent or undervoltage protection may be activated and varied. The active protection works in all operating modes. Undervoltage protection works in two different modes: • regulating transition at slow regulation speed (e.g. bat tery discharge) • switching transition at fast regulation sped (short dead time, e.g. when switching the input voltage ) Load profiles (LIST) In all operating modes PLA series loads can generate dynamic load profiles. Up to 100 settings with variable dwell and ramp time are...
