Front Connection Unit
Introduction
This section describes the use and capabilities of the Front Connection Unit,
mounted underneath the power supply.
The Front Connection Unit provides the interconnections between the rear and
front terminals.
The following programmable power supply types have a front connection unit:
•
single output model: PM2811/x5z
•
dual output model : PM2812/x5z
•
triple output model : PM2813/x5z
•
single output model: PM2831/x5z
•
dual output model : PM2832/x5z
x = Number assigned to various output ratings
z = Country version
Basic operation
Every output channel has been provided with four output terminals, a ground
terminal, and a SENSE switch.
FOUR OUTPUT TERMINALS
The inner 2 banana sockets are for the power output, i.e., +V and -V. The outer
2 banana sockets are for the sense input, i.e., +S and -S.
ONE GROUND TERMINAL
The ground (earth)terminal has been connected to the housing for grounding
and shielding purposes.
ONE SENSE SWITCH
This switch enables you to select local or remote sensing.
Note:
Switching from remote to local or from local to remote may cause a
sense break detection. To avoid this, it is advised to switch modes only
at power off.
