MAINT BUTTON

Plus-X VSWR can be put in Maintenance mode by pressing the front panel Maint button. When the Plus-X
VSWR is in maintenance mode remote control commands are disabled. Maintenance mode must be
toggled from the front panel and the front panel control must be enabled in the Interlock Configuration
page of the website interface. For safety reasons, Maintenance mode cannot be enabled or disabled by any
remote means.

REAR PANEL

The rear panel of the Plus-X VSWR is shown in the photograph below in Figure 2.
