3.9.7 Connecting single loads, local sensing (default).

Fig.3-10 shows recommended load and sensing connections for a single load. The local sense lines
shown are default connections at the rear panel J2 sense connector. Local sensing is suitable for
applications where load regulation is less critical.

3.9.8 Connecting single loads, remote sensing

Fig.3-11 shows recommended remote sensing connection for single loads.
Remote sensing is used when, in Constant Voltage mode, the load regulation is important at the
load terminals. Use twisted or shielded wires to minimize noise pick-up. If shielded wires are used,
the shield should be connected to the ground at one point, either at the power supply chassis or the
load ground. The optimal point for the shield ground should be determined by experimentation.

3.9.9 Connecting multiple loads, radial distribution method

Fig.3-12 shows multiple loads connected to one supply. Each load should be connected to the
power supply's output terminals using separate pairs of wires. It is recommended that each pair of
wires will be as short as possible and twisted or shielded to minimize noise pick-up and radiation.
The sense wires should be connected to the power supply output terminals or to the load with the
most critical load regulation requirement.
