Paralleled remote voltage/current adjust
The simplest way to achieve remote voltage/current programming with paralleled outputs is to operate the modules in share
parallel mode. Follow the procedure outlined earlier to configure the outputs in share parallel mode and once configured in this

mode, all the V

control

and COM pins can be connected together. Remote voltage/current programming can then be performed

exactly as with a stand-alone module.

It is not recommended to use remote voltage/current programming in normal parallel mode.

WARNING!

Care must be taken to avoid differential voltages between the negative power output terminals of the
paralleled modules as this can cause errors at the control pins. To avoid this, it is recommended that a low
impedance connection be made between the negative power terminals close to the PSU output and cables
then connected from this common point to the load.
