Sense modes

Each output channel has been provided with a set of four terminals. The inner
terminals have been marked as - V(oltage) and + V(oltage), while the outer
terminals have been marked as - S(ense) and + S(ense).
- S - V
Each output channel can be connected to a load in two different ways:
• through the +V and -V terminals, causing the power supply to operate in
its local sense mode.
• through the +V and -V and +S and -S terminals, causing the power supply
to operate in its remote sense mode.
Local sensing
- S - V
At delivery the sense terminals are interconnected with the voltage terminals. This
is called local sensing. If the voltage drop across both of the wires to the load is
negligible, the voltage at the load will equal the programmed value.
