15. SENSE fuNCTIoN
The sense function is an automatic voltage control for the connection sockets mAIN ouTPuT (6).
In addition two separate measurement lines are connected parallel to the connection lines. The voltage drop, which
occurs at the connection lines, is measured on both these measurement lines. This voltage drop automatically
balances the laboratory power supply so that the voltage actually set fits the consumer.
Switch off the power supply and consumer.
Always first connect the power supply lines of the power supply to the consumer. Please note the correct polarity.
Press the terminal release inside with a small screw driver on the rear connection sockets

and stick the cables into the clamp openings. Check the secure position.
Now connect both sense lines to the consumer at the correct polarity. The conductor cross section for the sense
lines must always amount to at least 0.34 mm
