Remote Sensing - Xantrex XPD 120-4.5 Operating Manual

Remote Sensing

Remote sensing permits you to shift the regulation point of the power supply from
the output terminals to the load or other distribution terminals. It compensates for
voltage losses of up to a total of 5 V in the power leads supplying the load (3 V on
7.5 V unit).
For best noise performance, use shielded pair wiring of 16 to 24 AWG for remote
sense lines.
In order to connect the sense wires, follow this procedure:
1. Using a small flat blade screwdriver, remove the two sense jumpers on the J207
2. Using the appropriate gauge shielded wire (see
