PF - Power Fail  May be either in or out, my guess is an output which
        goes low or high some number of ms before you lose voltage.

Sn - voltage sense, for remote voltage sensing.  Helps you regulate 
        out at the object being supplied with voltage rather than at
	the power supply output terminals.

ON/off may be a remote control for thepower supply.

just a guess, hope this helps.
