25 STATUS COM Status signals common for pins 11, 12, 13, 23 and 

24.

*1.  During remote sensing, this is the negative (-S) of sensing input. When 

remote sensing is not being performed, this is connected to the negative 
output.

*2.  Open collector output: Max. voltage of 30 V and max. current of 8 mA. 

The status common is floating (isolation voltage or less), it is isolated 
from the control circuit.

Output voltage control

Set the CV control using an external 
voltage or an external resistance in 
the CONFIG settings so that external 
voltage control is enabled (CF05:VoLt/
rES).

• 

Control using an external voltage 

(Vext)

Use pins : 4, 5

• 

Control using an external resis

-

tance (Rext)

Use pins : 6, 7

Output current control

Set the CC control using an external 
voltage or an external resistance in 
the CONFIG settings so that external 
voltage control is enabled (CF04:VoLt/
rES).

• 

Control using an external voltage 

(Vext)

Use pins : 14, 15

• 

Control using an external resis

-

tance (Rext)

Use pins : 16, 17

Output on and off control

To use an external contact to control 
the output on and off states, set the 
appropriate CONFIG parameter (CF06: 
on)

Use pins : 18, 19

External monitoring

• 

External monitoring of the output 

voltage and output current status

Use pins : 1, 2, 3, 5, 15

• 

External monitoring of the

 status

Use pins : 11, 12, 13, 23, 24, 25

For Rext, use a resistor that is rated 

at approx. 10 k

Ω

, 1/2 W or greater, 

that has a low temperature coefficient, 

and that will change little over time. 

Examples of such resistors are metal 

film or wire wound resistors.

CONFIG Settings

Press CONFIG and use the VOLTAGE knob to select the parameter 

that you want to set, and the CURRENT knob to change its value.

Sensing

• Local sensing

This method when the 
load current is small or 
when you do not need to 
consider the load effect 
voltage.

• Remote sensing

This is a feature that sta-
bilizes the output voltage 
across the load by reduc-
ing the influence of volt-
age drops and other ef-
fects caused by the load 
cable resistance.
