Master-Slave Parallel Operation
Up to three slave power supplies can be connected in parallel
with a master power supply to increase the current capacity. In
master-slave parallel operation, the total output of the power
supplies connected in parallel can be controlled using only the
master power supply.

・
Parallel operation by simply connecting the output of
each power supply is also possible. However, in this case,
the output of the power supplies connected in parallel
must be set the same. It is recommended that master-
slave parallel operation, which allows power supplies
connected in parallel to be controlled as a single power
supply, be used.
Handling of J1 Terminal
Strip the wire insulation and insert the wire into the hole while
holding down part A of the terminal using a flat-blade screw-
driver or other similar means. See Fig. 4-4.
