Rev A 

2.4.7 

Interlocks  

The  60/40S1G18B  Multi-Band Amplifier has one interlock circuit that is wired to the rear panel Safety 

Interlock connector. This interlock requires a normally closed external circuit to allow the unit to function. 

2.4.7.1 

Inhibit Interlock 

This interlock circuit inhibits RF amplification by disabling the low level (A1) and Power (A2 & A4/A5) 

amplifier stages. 

The Inhibit Interlock is wired to the rear panel interlock connector pins  1 and 8. A closed circuit from 

interlock connector pin 1 to pin 8 is required for normal operation. Opening the Inhibit Interlock connection 

will inhibit the amplifier and display 

Fault:Interlock 

on the front panel Touch Display. 

When the Inhibit Interlock circuit is restored to a closed condition, the Inhibit Interlock fault can be cleared 

by pressing the 

RESET

  button on the front panel LCD or by using the remote reset command (when the 

Toggle Switch is set to 

REMOTE

).
