Connecting of -H1 handle outputs
When you connect the IQAN-LC6-X05 joystick handle functions to a module or
standalone controller you may have proportional outputs from rocker and knob. You
should use both primary and secondary signals from the rocker or knob. The primary
signal for the axis is connected to a VIN,
voltage input
and the secondary signal for the
axis, if used, is connected to a separate VIN on the controller module.
Connect each primary output 10%-90% Vs output signal to VIN, and optionally
connect the corresponding secondary output 90%-10% Vs output signal to another
VIN.

The previous example is presented with limited information to explain the use of
primary and secondary signals from the -H1 handle rocker and knob. Safety
considerations such as the use of an ’operator present’ switch to enable outputs etc. are
always recommended.
LC6-H1 handle loss of ground
When using only one of the two possible axis on the -H1 handle, either rocker or knob,
the primary signal from the axis not in use must be pulled to ground through a 10k-50 k
ohm resistor for safety reasons. If this is not done the connected output will have a
unintentional activation if the ground connection to the handle is lost
Connect the primary output pin from the unused axis, through a resistor, to ground.

ARNING
Possible unintentional activation of the connected axis if the ground connection is lost!
If the supply ground is disconnected from the handle sensors, the output from the
connected axis will be around 3.6 V if unused output is not grounded.
EXAMPLE
Connecting -H1 rocker and knob outputs to a module.
EXAMPLE
Grounding one of the signals from an unused axis.
