Using Remote Sensing Function

The Remote sensing function detects the output voltage at the sensing input terminal. When the
Remote sensing function is on, the measured value of voltage is the voltage at the sensing input
terminal, and the item symbol is displayed as "SV" on the panel display. The measured values of
power (P, S, Q) and power factor (PF) are also the values that are calculated using the measured
voltage value at the sensing input terminal. However, their item symbols on the panel display are not
changed.
When the Remote sensing function is on, the output voltage at the sensing input terminal is
calibrated by the AGC or Autocal function. Thus, by combining the Remote sensing function with
the AGC/Autocal function, you can compensate the voltage drop due to wiring to the load.
The Remote sensing function can be set to on in the AC-INT, AC-VCA, AC-SYNC, DC-INT, and
DC-VCA modes. However, for the AC mode, it can be set to on only when the waveform is a sine
wave. When the Remote sensing function is on, the waveform cannot be changed to other than a sine
wave. When the mode is changed to ACDC mode, when the signal source is changed to EXT or
ADD, or when the Sequence or Simulation function is selected, the Remote sensing function is
forcibly set to off.
However, in case the stand-by state of sequence mode (step0) effective only for AC-INT,
ACDC-INT and DC-INT and when the waveform is sine wave or DC. Remote sensing cannot be
activated unless either AC voltage or DC voltage setting is 0 V for ACDC-INT. Also, Remote
sensing is turned off once when you change ACDC mode from AC mode of DC mode even in
stand-by state. Turn ON it again when you need.
-------- Notes ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 The on/off state of the Remote sensing function is kept even if the output range is changed.
 When the Remote sensing function is forcibly set to off, the settings saved in the System
Setting Memory are not updated.
