Remote Current Programming
The remote current programming is used for applications that require the output current be
programmed (controlled) from a remote source. An external resistance or external voltage source
may be used as a programming device. When using remote current programming, a shielded,
twisted-pair, hookup wire is recommended to prevent noise interference with programming
signals.
1. External Current Programming Using a 0-5 VDC or 0-10 VDC Voltage Source. A DC voltage
source for remote current programming is connected between PIN 11 (I PROG 5V) or PIN 12
(I PROG 10V) and the return PIN 14 (ISO COM). The voltage coefficient for 5V remote
current programming is 50 millivolts = 1% of rated output, i.e., for a 100 amp model, each 100
millivolts of programming voltage equals 2 amps of output current. See Figure 5-4 for
connection requirements.
From the CONTROL menu, set the CURRENT REF to EXT5V or EXT10V. Leave voltage on
