Remote Sensing
Remote sense is used to compensate for the voltage drop seen
across load cables due to the resistance inherent in the load cables.
The remote sense terminals are connected to the load terminals to
determine the voltage drop across the load cables.
Remote sense can compensate up to 1 volt for PPX-
1005/2002/2005/3601/3603 and 3 volts for PPX-10H01
(compensation voltage). Load cables should be chosen with a
voltage drop less than the compensation voltage.
WARNING
Ensure the output is off before handling the
remote sense connector.
Use sense cables with a voltage rating exceeding
the isolation voltage of the power supply.
Never connect sensing cables when the output is
on. Electric shock or damage to the power supply
could result.

Overview
When using the remote sensing, make sure the
wires that are used follow the following guidelines:
Wire gauge:
AWG 20 to AWG 14
Strip length:
6.5mm // 0.26 in.
+S: +Sense terminal
-S: -Sense terminal
Note
Be sure to remove the Sense joining cables so the
units are not using local sensing.
