Remote Operation - Aim TTi EX355P Mode D'emploi

Note that the output terminals are rated at 15A maximum; if several outputs are operated in
parallel to source higher currents than this the junction should be made at a separate point, not
one of the terminals.
Ventilation
The power supply is very efficient but nevertheless can generate significant heat at full power.
The supply relies on convection cooling only and it is therefore important that ventilation is never
restricted if performance and safety are to be maintained.
Remote command format and the remote commands themselves are detailed in the Remote
Commands chapter.
Baud Rate Selection
The Baud rate is set by pressing the OPTION SELECT/OK button until
left-hand display; the right-hand display shows the current setting in the form of
