Remote Analog Programming of Output Voltage and Current Limit

Remote Analog Programming of Output Voltage and Current Limit
Remote analog programming allows control of the power supply's output voltage
and/or current limit to shift from local operation at the front panel voltage and current
controls to external analog sources. As you vary the external programming source,
the power supply's output varies proportionally over its output range.
Using remote analog programming requires that you reset switch SW1 and make
connections to the J2 connector on the power supply's rear panel. See "Rear Panel
Connectors and Switch" on page 18.
Remote See Table 4.1 for a summary of the options available to you for programming output
voltage and current limit using an analog source.

Procedure
1. Turn the power supply OFF.
2. Using Table 4.2, set switches SW1-1, SW1-2, SW1-3, and SW1-4 according to
3. Install any J2 connector jumpers as indicated in Table 4.2.

These scales may be used in any combination.
CAUTION
!
To maintain the isolation of the power supply output and prevent ground loops,
use an isolated (ungrounded) programming source when operating the power
supply via remote analog control at the J2 connector.
CAUTION
!
The remote programming inputs are internally referenced to the supply's
negative output. Do not connect control ground (J2 terminals 3, 5, or 7) to the
supply's positive output.
