5.2 Using Both Main and Auxiliary Outputs
The 1693 and 1694 both have a main and auxiliary output that can be used
separately or together.
The voltage control knob will adjust the output voltage for both of these output
terminals and they will output the same voltage. When using both the main and
auxiliary outputs together, the power supply will automatically total the currents
supplied to both terminals up to the current limit of the power supply and show the
total current on the display.
For example, setting the voltage output for model 1693 (1-15 V, 0-60 A) to 15 V
would output 15 V at both the main and auxiliary terminals. A total of 60 A can be
drawn between the two terminals. If there is a 5 A load at the auxiliary terminal, the
most current you can draw from the main output is 55 A.
If the power supply exceeds its maximum rated current at any time, the overload LED
will light.
Note: 1693 - Total rated current (Aux. + Main) is 60 A
1694 - Total rated current (Aux. + Main) is 30 A
5.3 Remote Sensing
WARNING: Never short the remote sensing terminal.
Never connect the remote sensing terminal in reverse polarity.
Always disconnect the remote sensing terminal first.
The 1693 and 1694 both provide a remote sensing terminal to help compensate for
voltage drops due to load leads.
5.3.1 Connection
1. Make the power connections between power supply and equipment.
