When the sense leads are disconnected, the power supply
oes into the local sense
mode, as the V and S terminals are internally interconnected via resistors. Yet you are
stron
ly recommended to interconnect the V and S terminals with the straps if you
use the local sense mode, as open sense inputs are sensitive to noise. Moreover, the
output specifications are not
uaranteed when the sense terminals are open.
Output modules with low volta

For power supplies with a Front Connection Unit, the sense capability is reduced
with about 5mV/A per load lead.
