    External Current Programming Using a 0-5 VDC or 0-10 VDC Voltage Source. A DC voltage source for remote current programming is connected between J1-10 or J1-16 (IPROG) and the return terminal J1-23 (IP RTN). Note that the return terminal J1-23 (IP RTN) must be referenced directly to or within ±3V of the power supply common, J1-24.
