A multi-port charger rarely fails by delivering nothing. It fails by negotiating the wrong profile, dropping out of constant current early, or tripping its protection at a current the label never promised. Those are behaviours a bench meter cannot see, because they only appear while the charger is loaded and talking. This range tests them with the load built in.

Product overview

Six models share one test engine and differ in two things: how the ports are arranged, and how much power each port can absorb. The single-module version presents four ports on one module. The four-module versions present four or eight ports, and they alone support testing each channel independently and combining ports in one test.

The instrument is a bench unit. An 8-inch Android touchscreen with dedicated software is the operating front end, and the rear panel carries the signal, output, input, serial, network and fan positions. Results can be written to a USB storage device from the front socket, which is the simplest way to get a run out of the instrument without a network.

How the fast-charge tester works

Testing a fast charger is a conversation before it is a measurement. The instrument presents itself as a sink, reads the power data objects the charger advertises, requests a voltage from that list, and waits for the charger to settle before closing the load. Only then does the current reading mean anything.

Once the load is closed, voltage and current are sampled at the port and power is derived from the pair. Because the lead and the connector have resistance, the voltage at the instrument is lower than the voltage at the charger’s output; remote sensing is provided so that regulation is judged at the charger rather than at the end of the cable.

Protection point testing is a separate routine. The load is increased until the charger’s over-current or over-power protection operates, and the current at that moment is recorded. A PPS sweep steps the requested voltage across the programmable range and records the response at each step, while PDO and VDM tests read back what the charger claims it can do. The two views are not the same: a charger can advertise a profile it cannot hold under load, and that gap is what these tests expose.

How to select the right fast-charge tester

Start with the product’s port layout, because it decides the model family before any electrical question. A charger with four ports that share one supply is served by the single-module version. A charger whose ports must be checked at the same time, or a product with eight ports, needs a four-module version.

The second question is power per port. The standard models and the H models differ on this alone; the port count and the protocol set are otherwise the same, so the suffix is chosen by the largest load the product is expected to pull, with margin for the protection test, which deliberately drives the charger past its rating.

The third question is the protocol list. The standard set covers QC2.0, QC3.0, PD2.0, PD3.0 and PD3.1. AFC, FCP, SCP and SSCP are options, so a product built for those protocols has to be declared at the order stage rather than discovered at commissioning.

Finally, decide how results leave the instrument. Export to a USB device suits a bench that records per-unit results by hand; the optional host software suits a line that wants the results in a database. Send the port layout, the power per port and the protocol list, and a configuration can be proposed against them.

Measurement limitations and selection considerations

The built-in load makes this a DC-side instrument. The function table leaves the rows for AC electrical parameters, high and low voltage testing, AC power and a variable-frequency source blank, so an adapter’s mains-side behaviour, standby consumption and input regulation are outside what this unit is documented to do. A power meter or a separate AC source is needed alongside it for those.

The four-module models test channels independently, but they are not four separate instruments: the ports share one enclosure, one supply and one set of program storage. A test sequence that assumes one port can be reconfigured while another is running should be checked against the way the channels are grouped.

Lead resistance is part of every reading. On a charger delivering a high current at a low voltage, a long or thin cable drops enough to move the result, which is why remote sensing exists and why the lead set should be fixed for a product rather than swapped between benches. The material does not list the supplied lead set, so its length and rating have to be confirmed before the fixture is designed.

Features

  • A built-in electronic load on every port, so a charger is tested under the current it will actually deliver rather than open-circuit
  • Protocol negotiation up to PD3.1, with PPS sweep, PDO and VDM readback for chargers whose advertised profile has to be verified
  • Over-current protection point testing that records the current at which the charger trips, instead of only reporting pass or fail
  • Independent channel testing on the four-module models, for products whose ports share a supply and must be checked at the same time
  • Storage for 120 files and 100 program steps, enough for a line that runs several charger variants in a shift
  • Results exported as a document to a USB storage device, and optional host software for computer control
  • An 8-inch Android touchscreen as the operating front end, with RS-232C, LAN and WIFI for connection to a line system

Certification and compliance

Certification documents not yet supplied

Certifications are only published once a certificate copy can be produced, so this section is deliberately empty rather than populated with assumed approvals. Tell us which approvals your application requires and we will confirm what is available for this instrument.

Parameters still to be confirmed

The following are required for a complete specification but are not stated in the documentation supplied to us. They are listed rather than estimated:

  • The weight of the instrument, which the dimension page does not state
  • Which PD3.1 band applies to each of the six models, since the model cards list the protocol by name only while the parameter table gives 28 V 5 A and 48 V 5 A by column
  • Whether the blank rows for AC electrical parameters, high and low voltage testing, AC power and a variable-frequency source mean unsupported or optional
  • Whether AFC, FCP, SCP and SSCP are factory-fitted options or field upgrades
  • The meaning of the marker printed against PD3.1 testing in the KS8651 column, which differs from the other five columns
  • The contents of the supplied lead and adaptor set, which the material does not list
  • Calibration certificate availability and the standard it is issued against
  • Warranty period and terms

Frequently asked questions

How many ports can be tested at the same time?

It depends on the model. The single-module version presents four ports on one module and tests them as one group. The four-module versions present four or eight ports across four modules, and those are the models that support independent testing of each channel and combined multi-port testing.

What has to be confirmed before a quotation?

The number of ports on the product, the power each port has to absorb, which fast-charge protocols the product advertises, and whether the ports must be tested independently. The last point decides whether a single-module or a four-module model is required, and it cannot be added later.

Can the instrument measure the mains input of an adapter?

The function table in the material leaves the rows for AC electrical parameters, high and low voltage testing, AC power and a variable-frequency source blank. Whether those are unsupported or optional is not stated, so mains-side measurement should be planned as separate equipment until the supplier confirms it.

Does it test the cable as well as the charger?

It tests the port and the lead together, since the load is applied through the connector. Reverse insertion of a CC lead and the polarity of the D+ and D− lines are both checked, and remote voltage sensing is provided so that regulation can be judged at the charger rather than at the end of the lead.
