Figure 3.1 – Local/Remote Sense Connection Diagram
When local sense is selected, the positive lead (+) of the DC output is connected to the positive end (+)
of the load and the negative lead (-) of the DC output is connected to the negative end (-) of the
load.
When this sensing mode is selected the wires connecting between DC outputs to the load must
be as short as possible. The local sense is the default configuration .
DO NOT disconnect the wires if remote sense is not used. Doing so will cause erratic
behavior and may damage the power supply under certain conditions.
Never connect any power source into any of the four terminals at any time during
operation.
When output is enabled, DO NOT use your hands to touch the terminals or the screws
that are designed to tighten wires to the terminals. Doing so may create a shock hazard
under high voltage output conditions.
3.2.3.2 Remote Sense
When remote sense is selected, the positive sense (+S) and positive lead (+) of the DC output are
connected to the positive end (+) of the load, whereas negative sense (-S) and negative lead (-) of
the DC output are connected to the negative end (-) of the load.
To enable remote sense, follow the steps below:
1 Power OFF the supply and disconnect all loads and cables connected to it.
2 Use a small flat blade screwdriver connect the S+ to the DUT’s positive (+) terminal, and
connect the S- to the DUT’s negative (-) terminal.
3 Do not connect any wires to Vo+ and Vo- terminals.
