2.3.7 Connection of remote sensing
In order to compensate, to a certain degree, the voltage loss in a DC cable, the device provides the possibility
to connect the remote sensing input “Sense” (rear side) to the load. The device recognizes the remote sensing
mode automatically and regulates the output voltage (only in CV operation) at the load rather than at its own DC
output.Inthetechnicalspecications(seesection „1.9.3. Specic technical data“) the level of maximum possible
compensationisgiven.Ifthatisinsufcient,thecablecrosssectionmustbeincreased.
Both pins „NC“ of the Sense connector must not be wired!
• The cross section of the sense cables is noncritical. However, it should be increased with
increasing cable length. Recommendation: for cables up to 5 m use at least 0.5 mm²
• Sense cables should be twisted and laid close to the DC cables to damp oscillation. If neces-
sary, an additional capacitor should be installed at the load/consumer to eliminate oscillation
• The sense cables must be connected + to + and - to - at the load, otherwise both systems
may be damaged
• In master-slave operation, the remote sensing should be connected to the master unit only
