Title: IT8512+ DC Electronic Load
Post by: BloodyCactus on October 18, 2015, 02:18:12 pm
Not so much a repair as just documenting this incase others run into the same issue...


So the IT8512+ (firmware v1.12) can do 120V, well at some point mine decided not to go above 18V OR 18W, CC worked fine to max 30A, but CV/CW would not go over '18'.

Thought that was a bit strange, tore it down, tested loads of things, nothing. put it back together and still the same...

So, I was annoyed at the constant 'beep' pressing keys so I turned the beep off and saved it as configuration0 or save0, and had that load when the machine turns on...

well, I changed it to reset when it loads, problem solved. just gotta live with the annoying beep.

somehow its internal stored settings/calibration? had been corrupted as telling it to use defaults on load fixed it.
