Voltcraft CPPS-160-42, 1 Output Variable DC Power Supply, , Bench CPPS-160-42 User Manual

The sense function is an automatic voltage control for the connection sockets MAIN OUTPUT (6).  

In addition two separate measurement lines are connected parallel to the connection lines. The 

voltage drop, which occurs at the connection lines, is measured on both these measurement 

lines. This voltage drop automatically balances the laboratory power supply so that the voltage 

actually set fits the consumer.
1.  Switch off the power supply and consumer.
2.  Always first connect the power supply lines of the power supply to the consumer. Please

note the correct polarity.

3.  Press the terminal release inside with a small screw driver on the rear connection sockets 

Remote Sensing (10) and stick the cables into the clamp openings. Check the secure 

position.

4.  Now connect both sense lines to the consumer at the correct polarity. The conductor cross 

section for the sense lines must always amount to at least 0.34 mm

2.

5.  Always loosen the connections in reverse order (first the sense lines and then the

connection lines).
