Quick Start
This instrument is carefully inspected before shipment. Upon receipt, please inspect the
instrument for damage that might occurred in transit, if any sign of damage, please
contact the vendor.
Work voltage of load has two type: 110V AC or 220V AC. Please switch the correct line
voltage accordance to the voltage in you area by toggle the switch on the rear panel
If the above 2 points are right, please power on the electronic load.

Recall Operation
Current range switch (3/30 A)
Short-circuit operation
IT8211 loads can simulate a short circuit at its input by turning the load on with,
full-scale current. The short circuit can be toggled on/off at the front panel using
the + . Short operation does not infect the operation setting current value,
when short operation is in off state ,load back to the original setting state.
The actual value of the electronic short is dependent on the mode and current
range that are active when the short is turned on. In CC,CW and CR mode, the
max short-circuit current value is 1.2 time of the current range. In CV mode,
short-circuit operation is same as the operation of setting CV to 0V.
ShiftShift

Check and reset the voltage ,current and resistance value
The electronic load usually display the actual voltage and current value. If you
want to check or reset the preset voltage, current and resistance value, screw
Knob or press or key, the bright will change V to SV . The preset on
the LED will wink for 3 second. If not reset a value ,it will recover to show an
actual value.

Trouble shooting hint
If the input is disabled
1. check if the voltage or current preset value is zero, if so, please set the voltage or
current value once again.
2. check if the OCP indicator is lit, if so, set OCP value properly.
LIST function
The function helps you test the features of power supply to be measured when with
different load easily.
Power on IT8211 with pressing the key (Prog) at the same time. The normal function
of all keys are forbidden, only list function are permitted.
Press and keys to enter the list edit menu:
STEP allow you to choose and edit the step you want, range: 0-99;
TYPE allow you to choose the working mode (1/2/3, which is corresponded to CC/CV/CR
mode);
DATA allow you set the mode value, e.g. you set TYPE as 1(CC mode), so the value to be
set here is current value;
DT is the delay time, range; 0.4S-25S;
HV set the up limit of the input voltage;
LV set the low limit of the input voltage;
HA set the up limit of the input current;
LA set the low limit of the input current.
The menu is set in cycle, enter the next step setting directly. Press + to
exit (the present step won’t be saved ).
NOTE: the unit saves the list file in four group automatically: 0-24 steps in A key, 25-
49 steps in B key, 50-74 steps in C key, 75-99 steps in D key. Set the last step
CC/0A if the total steps is less than 25. if you press A key, it will run from step 0,
if you press B key, it will run from step 25, if you press C key, it will run from 50,
if you press D key, it will run from step 75.
