Remote sense

As shown
remote sense leads (4 wire connection). The Sense+ and Sense- pins provide output voltage
sensing. Without these terminals connected, the power supply operates without voltage feedback
and therefore supplies an unregulated voltage. This unregulated voltage value can be up to +18V
or down to -5V. Use voltage protection to turn off the output and protect against the extremes
(refer to "Setting voltage protection value" on page 2-5).
Connect the sense inputs to the supply as close as possible to the load's source inputs through
twisted pair leads (refer to
formance of the supply.

Do NOT jumper the sense inputs and supply outputs at the rear of the supply! Con-
necting the sense leads in this fashion will severely compromise the performance of
Model 2306 with dynamic loads when using 4-wire sense.
