For current not shown in tables 3-1 and 3-2 use formula: Maximum length=500/(current*resistivity)
Where current is expressed in ampers and resistivity in ohms/km or ohms/1000ft.

3.7.2 Wire termination
3.7.3 Single load connection, Local Sensing
The wires should be properly terminated with terminals securely attached. DO NOT use non
terminated wires for load connection at the power supply.
Fig. 3-1 illustrates the connection of a single load to the power supply using local sensing. This
connection is made via the “External Control Connector” located on the rear panel of the power supply.
Local sensing is suitable for applications where load regulation is not critical.

CAUTION
At local sensing, short bLS or +S to -V or -S or -LS will cause damage to the
power supply. Reversing the sense wires might cause damage to the power supply
at local and remote sensing.
