Fig.5-5: Parallel operation with Remote sensing
With local sensing it is important to minimize the wire length and resistance. Also the
positive and negative wire resistance should be close as possible to each other to achieve
current balance between power supplies.
NOTE
5.16 DAISY-CHAIN CONNECTION
It is possible to configure amultiple power supply system to shut down all the unitswhen a fault
condition occurs in one of the units. When the fault is removed, the system recovers according to its
setting to Safe start mode orAutomatic restart.
Setup switch SW1 position 5 should be set to itsDown position to enable the Daisy-chain operation.
Other SW1 positions can be set according to the application requirements.
Ifafault occurs in one of the unitsits PS_OK signal will be set to low level and the display will indicate
the fault. The other unitswill shut off and their display will indicate "SO”. When the fault condition is
removed, the unitswill recover to their last setting according to their Safe start orAuto-restart setting.
Fig.5-6 shows connection of three units, however the same connection method applies to systems
with a larger number of units.

5.17 FRONT PANELLOCKING
The front panel controls can be locked to protect from accidental power supply parameter change.
Press and hold PREV button to toggle between “Locked front panel” and “Unlocked front panel”.
The display will cycle between “LFP” and “UFP”. Releasing the PREV button while one of the
modes is displayed, selects that mode.
In this mode, the front panel controls are enable to program and monitor the power supply
parameters.
In this mode the following front panel controls are disabled:
- VOLTAGE and CURRENT encoders.
- FOLD button.
- OUT button.
The power supply will not respond to attemptsto use these controls. The VOLT display will show
“LFP” to indicate that the front panel is locked.
OVP/UVL button is active to preview the OVP and UVL setting.
Use PREV button to preview the output voltage and current setting or to unlock the front panel.
