Remote Voltage Sense Operation:
1) Independent Mode
The output voltage of each channel of the Mt-30 can be regulated directly at the load, eliminating
excessive voltage drop across the cables, which carry high current between the MT-30 and the
Load and yet maintain greater voltage accuracy. This is accomplished by utilizing the V Sense
connectors provided on the front panel user I/O strip. This feature is enabled by pressing the front
panel button labeled RVS, or via ROS GUI which will activate Remote Voltage Regulation on
both channels simultaneously. A connection diagram is provided in Figure A3.1. The Remote
Voltage Sense (RVS) wires must be fused as close as possible to the Load in order to eliminate
any shock hazard to the operator. It is highly recommended to use twisted pairs or shielded
cabling for sensing and then routing them away from any noise emitting sources.
2) Parallel Mode
In parallel mode, only the RVS connector on channel A is used since all the power is sourced and
sinked via channel A connector.
