- Voltage Drop Compensation
- Remote Sense
The Remote Sense compensates voltage drop on the load wiring up to 0.5V The +S signal should be connected to the positive terminal of the load whereas -S signal to the negative terminal.
- Local Sense
- The +S,-S have to be connected to the +V(signal), -V(signal), respectively, as the following diagram, in order to get the correct output voltage if Remote Sense is not used.
- Remote Sense
- Output Voltage Programming (or, PV / remote voltage programming / remote adjust / margin programming / dynamic voltage trim)
- In addition to the adjustment via the built-in potentiometer, the output voltage can be trimmed by applying EXTERNAL VOLTAGE.
- The rated current should change with the Output Voltage Programming accordingly.
- For Remote Sense / Local Sense, please refer to “Voltage Drop Compensation” section.
- In addition to the adjustment via the built-in potentiometer, the output voltage can be trimmed by applying EXTERNAL VOLTAGE.
- Remote ON-OFF Control
The power supply can be turned ON/OFF individually or along with other units by using the “Remote ON-OFF” function.
