One of Four Grounding Logic 

 
Alternatively, after changing the internal jumper JMP1 to INT, a customer supplied 1-of-4 
grounding switch may be wired to the 

DXE-FVC-1

 input according to 

Table 3.

  Grounding the 

appropriate terminal(s) results in a different output voltage through the ANT type F-connector and 
on the green connector OUT terminal. Control using a 1-of-4 grounding control uses terminals POS, 
NEG, AC and GND 

 

Note the LED indications. GND signifies a grounding of the respective terminal. N/C is No 
Connection or floating. COM is the common terminal on the 4 position switch.

NOTE:

   

The 

DXE-FVC-1

 uses 1/2-wave rectification for the DC control voltages. When 

measuring the output using an RMS or average reading DVM, the normal DC output of 
the 

DXE-FVC-1

 will indicate a n/– 6 Volts. The AC voltage will measure 12 Vac.

a customer supplied 4 position switch.
