It is good engineering practice to twist the sense wire pairs as well as the
load wire pairs.

The output connector was shipped with two local sense jumpers. With
these sense jumpers installed (from +s to +; from –s to –), the unit
senses and regulates its output voltage directly at the output terminals.
This causes the voltage at the load to be somewhat lower due to the
voltage drop in the load leads. In applications where voltage regulation
at the load is critical, remote sensing may be required as explained later
in this chapter.
CAUTION
The positive output terminal should NOT be connected to ground in
applications where the output voltage is repeatedly and rapidly
changing as is the case in a series or shunt regulator application. This
can result in overheating and damaging the resistors of internal RC
networks that are connected to ground.
Analog Connector
WARNING
The P common terminal on the analog connector is a low-noise signal
ground for convenience only. IT IS NOT A SAFETY GROUND!
This connector, which is on the rear panel, is for connecting external
current monitors and external current programming sources. The
connector accepts wires sizes from AWG 16 to AWG 28.
It is good engineering practice to twist or shield all signal wires to and
from the analog connector. To minimize spurious operation, make sure
that all analog wiring does not exceed 3 meters in length.

NOTE
If you are not using the Analog Connector, it is recommended that you
connect (or jumper) the +IP and –IP terminals together to reduce EMC
susceptibility.
