The maximum allowable value of load lead resistance is 4 ohms total (2 ohms per side). This may be further limited to a lower value, based on peak current loading, by the maximum allowable dc voltage drop of 8 volts total (4 volts per side) as specified for remote sense operation. To illustrate, for up to 2 amps peak, the maximum allowable resistance is 4 ohms total, resulting in a maximum voltage drop of up to 8 volts. For 4 amps peak the maximum allowable resistance is 2 ohms total, again resulting in a maximum allowable voltage drop of up to 8 volts.

In addition to keeping dc resistance low, you also need to minimize the total impedance. For higher slew rate currents (0.2 amps/μs) and long wiring lengths (10 to 20 ft.) the inductance can have as much effect as the resistance. To minimize inductance, twist the load leads. The inductance will be on the order of

0.25μH/ft if twisted, and 0.4 μH/ft if untwisted. In addition to lowering the inductance, twisting the leads will reduce noise pick up. If you are using remote sense leads, connect these as a second twisted pair. Do not twist or bundle them with the load leads.

NOTE: The use of relays between the dc source and the phone also increases impedance. Low resistance relays will improve system performance.

NOTE: You must use remote sensing on both Output 1 and Output 2 for the unit to operate properly and meet its published specifications. If you are not using output 1 and the open sense protection feature is turned ON, you must jumper the + output 1 pin to its + sense pin, and jumper the - output 1 pin to its - sense pin. Otherwise, the unit will go into a protected state and disable the output (unless open sense protection is turned OFF).

Testing has verified stable performance with up to 20 inches of lead length between the sense lead termination and the phone connection (see figure 3-4). However, for optimum performance, connect the sense leads as close as possible to the phone under test. To minimize inductance, connect the sense leads and load leads as separate twisted pairs (see Figure 3-2).
