Remote Voltage Sensing
E3632A User’s Guide 43
sense or load leads during remote sensing operation have
various unwanted effects. Provide secure and permanent
connections.
Remote voltage sensing connections
Remote voltage sensing requires connecting the load leads
from output terminals to the load and connecting the sense
leads from sense terminals to the load as shown in
Figure 2- 2. Observe polarity when connecting the sensing
leads to the load.
Notice that the metal shorting bars should be removed from
the output and sense terminals for remote voltage sensing
connections.
Figure 2-2 Remote voltage sensing connections
NOTE
• For local voltage sensing connections, the sense leads must be
connected to the output terminals.
• During remote sensing setup, it is strongly recommended to power off
(by presssing the power ON/OFF button) the power supply to avoid
undesirable damage to the load or the power supply.
