Rear Panel Connections (XPF60-20DP only)
The output and sense terminals for OUTPUT1 and OUTPUT2 are duplicated on the rear panel
terminal blocks and are marked +O/P, −O/P, +S and −S. These connections are paralleled with
their front panel equivalents.
Switch the LOCAL/REMOTE switch to REMOTE when remote sensing is required. When the
rear panel Output terminals are used, the use of remote sense is always recommended to ensure
that output regulation is maintained within specification; connections can be made to either the
front or the rear remote sense terminals but never to both pairs of terminals at the same time.
Switch back to LOCAL when remote sensing is not in use.
