PSU Series User Manual

Use a stable current supply for the external current 
control.  
CV and CC Slew Rate Priority are disabled for V-I mode 
(F-03) when using external current control. See the 
normal function settings on page 101. 
Ensure the polarity is correct when connecting the 
external current.  
Ensure no more than 21mA are input into the external 
isolated current input. 
Isolated External Current Control of Current Output 
 
Current control of the current output uses the 
isolated current option (PSU-ISO-I). A current of 
4~20mA is used to control the full scale current of 
the instrument, where: 
Output current = full scale current × ((external 
current - 4mA)/16mA) 
When connecting the external current source to the 
isolated current option, use shielded or twisted 
paired wiring.
