Standard Drive
1
Connect pin 1 to supply voltage (+20 Vdc to +32 Vdc) and pin
15 to ground.
2
Select (close) desired RF path by applying ground to the
corresponding “drive” pin; for example ground pin 3 to close RF
path 1.
3
To select another RF path, ensure that all unwanted RF path
“drive” pins are disconnected from ground (to prevent multiple
RF path engagement). Ground the “drive” pin which corresponds
to the desired RF path.
4
To open all RF paths, ensure that all RF path “drive” pins are
disconnected from ground. Then, connect pin 16 to ground. This
feature is not available in option 100.
N O T E
Pin 15 must always be connected to ground to enable the electronic
position-indicating circuitry and drive logic circuitry.
C A U T I O N
If pin 15 is not connected to power supply ground, catastrophic failure will
occur.
N O T E
After the RF path is switched and latched, the drive current is interupted by the
electronic position-sensing circuitry. Pulsed control is not necessary, but if
implemented, the pulse width must be 15 ms minimum to ensure the switch is
fully latched.
