Connecting the Sense Leads
You must connect the positive side of the load to the +S analog connector pin and the negative side of the load to the

OVP Considerations
The OVP circuit senses the voltage near the output terminals and not at the sense terminals. Depending on the voltage drop between the output terminals and the load, the voltage sensed by the OVP circuit can be significantly higher than actually being regulated at the load. You must program the OVP trip high enough to compensate for the expected higher voltage at the output terminals.

Output Noise
Any noise picked up on the sense leads also appears at the output of the power supply and may adversely affect the load voltage regulation. Be sure to twist the sense leads to minimize external noise pickup and route them parallel and close to the load leads. In noisy environments, it may be necessary to shield the sense leads. Ground the shield only at the power supply. Do not use the shield as one of the sense conductors.
Note | The signal ground binding post on the rear panel is a convenient place to ground the sense shield. |
Stability
Using remote sensing under unusual combinations of
In most cases, following the above guidelines will prevent problems associated with load lead inductance. However, if a large bypass capacitor is required at the load and
