2.0.0 2.1.0 Mounting The 522 is designed for mounting in a standard 19" relay rack. When installing in the rack it is recommended that nylon washers be placed under the mounting screws to prevent scratching the paint. 2.2.0 Mating Connectors All instruments are supplied with a mating AC power cord and output connector.
NOTE: When the 522 senses an overload condition the unit will display "OVERLOAD" in the digit display area. When this happens the 522 will reset itself to crowbar and output zero. To return to the current range you must first remove the cause of the overload. Then you must either send more data if you are in remote mode, or turn one of the switches if you are in the local mode.

The "load" and "sense" refers to the 4 wire remote sense capability. NOTE: THE "LOAD-SENSE" CIRCUIT MUST BE COMPLETE IN EITHER ONE OF TWO CONFIGURATIONS: (Please refer to Drawing #930727 in the rear of this manual for the two-wire and four-wire connections. Win-man\522.wpd...

However, if an appreciable current is to flow in the circuit, in the voltage mode, i.e, .1 mA, then the sense lines should be connected at the load. (See Figure 1 on Reference Drawing #930727) This 4 wire system eliminates the IR drop and thus maintains the voltage accuracy, of the Model 522, at the load.

NOTE: the baud rate is displayed upon going from local to remote, and the displayed rate Is the only rate the model 522 will respond to correctly. If the baud switch is changed while in the remote mode, the instrument must be returned to local and back to remote for the instrument to respond to the new baud rate.
