12.3  Interlock 

To ensure personnel health and safety, the converter is equipped with an interlock system. The system 

ensures that the output only stays engaged as long as the plug is inserted into the aircraft receptacle. I.e. 

as long as 28 VDC is present at terminal X2:F. 
 
 

 

 

 
 

 

 
 

 
 

 

 

 
 

12.3.1 Standard wiring diagram 

 

For service, maintenance and test purposes, the interlock system can be by-passed via the display setup. 

To ensure personnel health and safety, the converter automatically returns into normal mode once it 

receives a 28 VDC voltage at terminal F2 e.g. when the plug is connected to an aircraft. 

 

The 28 VDC output can be operated remotely via the I/O terminals related to Output 2. Please refer to 

section 4.9 
 
*This  option  requires  a  “split-F”  connector,  which  is  typically  a  special  order  from  most  aircraft 
manufactures. 
 

Note! 

The 90% switch is as standard by-passed by connecting te & 3 (X2)
