Connections

CAUTION

Program/monitor signal and return are internally connected to the power supply negative output. Do not attempt to bias these away from that potential.

CAUTION

To maintain the isolation of the power supply output and prevent ground loops, use an isolated (ungrounded) programming source when operating the power supply via remote analog control at the J210 connector.

CAUTION

Before making connections from external circuits to the J210 connector, turn the power supply OFF and wait until the front panel displays have gone out.

Wiring

WARNING

There is a potential shock hazard at the output when using a power supply with a rated output greater than 40 V. Use load wiring with a minimum insulation rating equivalent to the maximum output voltage of the power supply. For example, select TEW, 105 °C, 300 V wiring for use with a

120 V, 4.5 A power supply.

For most connectors and jumpers, use any suitable wire such as 16 to 24 AWG stranded wire. For lowest noise performance, use shielded pair wiring of 16 to 24 AWG. Use the shortest leads possible. Ground the shield to pin 8 (auxiliary ground) on the J210 connector or to the chassis via one of the J210 connector screws.
