Remote status and alarm indications
Outputs that indicate the status of operator controlled circuits are available on connectors J2 and J3
on the remote interface PWB. A switching device for each alarm output provides current-sink-to-
ground when a logic true condition exists.
The switching circuit provides an open collector for a logic false condition and has no influence on
the external monitoring circuit.
The following outputs are available:
Note: All outputs are active low.
• J3-18: Exciter Changeover . See “Auto changeover” on page 9-3 .
