Remote Monitoring
The PSU power supplies have remote monitoring support for
current and voltage output. They also support monitoring of
operation and alarm status.

External Voltage and Current Monitoring
Background
The analog connector is used to monitor the
current (IMON) or voltage (VMON) output.
An output of 0~10V or 0~5V (depending on the
configuration) represents the voltage or current
output of 0~ rated current/voltage output.
 IMON = (current output/full scale) × 10 or 5.
 VMON = (voltage output/full scale) × 10 or 5.
Configuration
The PSU doesn’t need to be configured to use
external voltage or current monitoring, however
the voltage or current output range does need to
be configured. The monitor output voltage can be
configured as either 0~10V or 0~5V.
Set F-96 (Monitor Voltage Select) in
the power on configuration settings to
0 (5V) or 1 (10V).

power on configuration settings.
