Installation Load Connection Load Wiring Length for Operation with Sense Lines For applications using remote sensing, you must limit the voltage drop across each load line. Figure 2.2 shows some maximum allowable wire lengths for a given load current and wire size. We recommend that you use the larger load wiring to ensure a smaller voltage drop (1 V typical maximum), although the units (except 7.5 V models) will compensate for up to 5 V drop in each line.
Installation Load Connection Making Load Connections WARNING There is a potential shock hazard at the load when using a power supply with a rated output greater than 40 V. To protect personnel against accidental contact with hazardous voltages, ensure that the load, including connections, has no live parts which are accessible.

Installation Load Connection 60 V to 600 V Models WARNING To protect personnel against accidental contact with hazardous voltages, ensure that the load, including connections, has no live parts which are accessible. Also ensure that the insulation rating of the load wiring and circuitry is greater than or equal to the maximum output voltage of the power supply.
Installation Load Connection Connecting Figure 2.6 Figure 2.7 show recommended load and sensing connections for single loads. Local sense lines shown are default J2 connections. Single Loads You do not need remote sensing for basic operation of your supply. However, if you wish to correct for any small drops in your load lines, then use this feature.
Installation Load Connection Radial Power Distribution Method To connect distributed loads, we recommend that you use radial power distribution. With this method, you connect power to each load individually from a single pair of terminals designated as the positive and negative distribution terminals. These terminals may be the power supply output terminals, the terminals of one of the loads, or a distinct set of terminals especially established for distribution use.
Installation Local and Remote Sensing Local and Remote Sensing Use connections on the rear panel J2 connector to set up the power supply for local or remote sensing of output voltage. Sense Wiring WARNING There is a potential shock hazard at the sense connector when using a power supply with a rated output greater than 40 V.
Page 51
Installation Local and Remote Sensing Use remote sensing during voltage mode operation to shift the power supply’s regulation point from its output terminals to the load or distribution terminals by using a separate pair of wires to allow the control circuitry to monitor the load voltage.

Local Operation Using Multiple Supplies Using Multiple Supplies WARNING There is a shock hazard at the load when using a power supply with a rated or combined output greater than 40 V. To protect personnel against accidental contact with hazardous voltages created by series connection, ensure that the load, including connections, has no live parts which are accessible.
Local Operation Using Multiple Supplies Configuring Multiple Supplies for Series Operation CAUTION Do not use remote sensing during series operation. CAUTION The maximum allowable sum of the output voltages is 600 Vdc. Use series operation to obtain a single higher voltage output using two or more supplies.
Local Operation Using Multiple Supplies Configuring Use parallel operation to obtain a higher current through a single output using two or more supplies. Set all of the OVP set points to maximum. Set all of the outputs to the Multiple same voltage before connecting the positive (+) output terminals and negative (–) Supplies for output terminals in parallel.
Local Operation Using Multiple Supplies Configuring Split supply operation uses two power supplies to obtain two positive voltages with a common ground, or to obtain a positive-negative supply. Multiple Supplies for Split Supply Two Positive Voltages To obtain two positive voltages, connect the negative output terminals of both supplies together in a common connection.
Local Operation Using Multiple Supplies Positive-negative Supply CAUTION To prevent possible damage to the supply, do not connect the remote program return line of the negative supply to the common connection. To obtain a positive-negative supply, connect the negative output terminal of one supply to the positive output terminal of the second supply.
Local Operation Using Over Voltage Protection (OVP) Using Over Voltage Protection (OVP) The OVP circuit protects the load in the event of a remote programming error, an incorrect voltage control adjustment, or a power supply failure.
