6.5 REMOTE SENSE (-RS)
The remote sense option can be specified when the output voltage accuracy or stability
requirements of the application cannot be met by the internal voltage sensing compo-
nents. It allows the power supply’s output voltage sense signal to be provided by an ex-
ternal voltage divider.
Power supplies equipped with the remote sense option have an additional BNC con-
nector located on the rear panel adjacent to remote/slave control connectors. The BNC
connector is labeled HVS (High Voltage Sense).
The typical remote sense input is configured for a 1000:1 divide ratio external probe,
and has a 1M

input impedance with a capacitance of 20-50pF. Other divide ratios and
impedances can be configured upon request. Contact the factory to confirm the exact
remote sense input requirements.
The remote sense input must be connected for correct operation of the power supply. If
the supply is operated without the remote sense signal connected, the output will not be
uncontrolled, but it will deliver approximately 10% higher output than the programmed
voltage.
