Power Supply Operation
Other protection mechanisms designed to protect the power supply are:
•AC Off: Disables the output if the AC line drops below the acceptable range.
•Sense Protection: Disables the output when the internal sense circuit is tripped by either reversed polarity at the output of the supply or a high voltage present at the output.
•Output Fail: Disables the output if the bridge circuit fails. This is a hardware protection circuit and has no associated software controls.

Where:
•ON or 1 means the supply will be latched in shut down if an AC Off condition occurs, until the user
•OFF or 0 means the supply will automatically resume operation when the AC line input returns to normal.
