REAR PANEL
POWER ENTRY MODULE
The Power Entry Module is used to fuse the line
power, select the input voltage, and filter high
frequency electrical noise.
POWER SWITCH
The power switch is located on the rear right side
of the unit. Depressing the front side of the switch
turns the unit on.
EXTERNAL BIAS INPUT
The two banana plugs are the input connections
for the external bias voltage. The bias supply must
be floating and well filtered.
Neither side can be
ground referenced
. The applied voltage must be
40 VDC or less and current limited to 250 mA max
EXTERNAL BIAS FUSE
Protects the external bias input from currents
greater than 250 mA.
RS232 DB25 CONNECTOR
This connector allows for computer control of the
unit over an RS232 interface. The connector is
configured as a DCE (transmit on pin 3, receive
Computer serial adapter, which is usually a DTE,
use a straight thru serial cable. See the
programming section for more information.
SW1
These switches set baud rate, parity and word
length for the RS232 interface. See the
programming section for details on setting the
interface.
HANDLER INTERFACE (OPTION 01)
This provides control lines to a component handler
for sorting. The interface has an input trigger line
and output lines indicating bin data available, busy
and 10 separate bins. The connector is a male
DB25. See the Handler section for more detail.
IEEE-488 (GPIB) CONNECTOR (OPTION 01)
This connector allows for computer control of the
unit over the GPIB or IEEE-488 interface. See the
programming section for more information.
SW2 (OPTION 01)
These switches set the instrument address for the
GPIB interface. See the programming section for
detail on how to set up the interface.
