Connections

Front Panel Connections

The load should be connected to the positive (red) and negative (black) terminals marked
OUTPUT. The OUTPUT terminals are rated at 30A.

Remote sense connections to the load, if required, are made from the positive (+) and
negative (

−

) SENSE terminals. Switch the LOCAL/REMOTE switch to REMOTE when remote

sensing is required. Switch back to LOCAL when remote sensing is not in use.

The terminal marked

is connected to the chassis and safety earth ground.
