REMOTE POWER PROGRAMMING

Remote power programming configuration is used for applications that
require the output power be programmed (controlled) from a remote
source. An external 4-20mA current source or external voltage source
may be used as a programming device. When using remote power
programming, a shielded, twisted-pair, hookup wire is recommended to
prevent noise interference with programming signals.

3.6.1 EXTERNAL POWER PROGRAMMING USING A 4-20MA CURRENT
SOURCE

The current source coefficient for remote power programming is
16mA/100% of rated output power with respect to GND, J1-9. The
programming current from terminal J1-13 (P_PROG) should be a 4-20mA
current source. This yields a coefficient of 1.0% of rated output power for
each 0.16mA. See Figure 3-15 for connection requirements.
