The Burk PRF-1, Precision RF Sensor, is powered by a DC power supply providing between 9 V and 24 V. The DC
output signal is linear with respect to the RF sample input power. Pin-outs for the PRF-1 are shown in Table 6.

STATUS INPUT WIRING
The status inputs on the Plus-X VSWR are not used except for one possible exception. Pin 16 can be used to accept
Cascade input from another Plus-X VSWR
system. Cascade operation refers to the built-in
option for the VSWR to open all relay outputs on
a single input fault from any of the transmission
lines directly tied to the Plus-X VSWR, or from
grounding of status input pin 16 by another Plus-
X VSWR Cascade output signal.
CONTROL RELAY WIRING
The Plus-X VSWR relays are factory assigned to the transmission lines per Table 3 in CONTROL RELAY
CONNECTIONS . Each relay opens and closes together with its paired partner. The relays can be operated in
Normally Closed or Normally Opened configuration. A setting in the Interlock Configuration window of the website
interface allows the user to identify whether the interlocks are used in normally open or closed configuration. See
STATUS CONNECTIONS
for an example installation of control relays for the Cascade operation function of the
Plus-X VSWR.
SOFTWARE CONFIGURATION
Unlike other Plus-X devices, the Plus-X VSWR does not need an additional Arcturus or ARC Plus system to function.
Once communications with the Plus-X VSWR are established from your Personal Computer (see
LOG ON FOR THE
FIRST TIME ), you can configure the device through the website interface via the Settings Menu and the Interlock
Configuration page (see MONITORING AND CONTROL ).
