3.9  Clock and Lock Mode (-LKM/-LKS Option) 

Clock and lock mode operation of two or more iX AC power sources is available only if the –LKM and –
LKS options have been installed at the factory.  With these options installed, it is possible to lock an 
auxiliary unit (-LKS) to a master unit (-LKM). The master unit controls the frequency. This configuration 
can be used to create multiphase power systems such as split-phase or three phases. The auxiliary 
unit must be set to external clock mode from the Control screen. See section 4.2.5. 

Two BNC connectors are provided on the rear panel of the iX model for clock and lock mode. Both 
need to be connected between the master and auxiliary unit. On the master unit (-LKM), both are 
outputs. On the auxiliary unit (-LKS), both are inputs.  Do not connect these BNC’s between two 
master units (-LKM’s) or damage to the unit could result.

Figure 3-6: Clock and Lock Connections 

Refer to Figure 3-6 for the required connections between the –LKM and –LKS units. The example is 
shown for two units, one master, one auxiliary. More than one auxiliary can be used to create 
additional phase outputs. In this case, the BNC cables can be daisy chained using BNC T connectors. 

WARNING:  

DO NOT CONNECT THE AC OUTPUTS OF THE –LKM AND –LKS UNITS TOGETHER. 
CLOCK AND LOCK OUTPUTS CANNOT BE PARALLELED TO OBTAIN HIGHER OUTPUT 
CURRENTS. 

Do not use clock and lock mode to obtain higher power capability on the same phase(s). 

The frequency of the auxiliary unit will track that of the master. The output phase angle of phase 1/A 
will be locked to the auxiliary unit as well to within 3°. Phase B and C of each unit will be referenced to 
phase A of the same unit. This allows split phase or multi-phase configurations to be created.
