SHOCK HAZARD There is a potential shock hazard at the sense connector

WARNING

 

when using a power supply with a rated output greater than 40V. Ensure that

 

the local sense and remote sense wiring insulation rating is greater than or

 

equal to the maximum output voltage of the power supply. Ensure that the

 

connections at the load end are shielded to prevent accidental contact with

 

hazardous voltages.

 

 

 

 

 

Local and remote sense connections are made at the J2 connector.
