Description
16
Output
Selected PA Total
Current
DC voltage for total RF power supply current for a PA
module (select via pin 18). Varies linearly from 0 = 0A
to 5 V = 50A.
17
Output
Selected PA
Temperature
DC voltage for heat sink temperature reading for a PA
module (select via pin 18). Varies linearly from 0V = 0
degrees C to 5V = 100 degrees C.
18
Input
PA Module Select
Controls which PA is being monitored by other
output pins. Each active low edge cycles through
selections. The end of the selectable PAs is indicated
by all outputs being ~0V. Reserved in 1kW systems.
19
N/A
Ground
Isolated ground intended to be used for safe remote
input logic connections on this interface. Jumper J9
allows this to be wired to a system-wide chassis
ground. Pin 12 provides an alternate connection.
20
Output
General Fault
Low when any fault is active in the system.
21
Output
VSWR Fault
Low when the affected part of the system is shut
down due to reflected power above safe levels or
VSWR greater than 2.0:1
22
Output
Transmitter On
Low when system RF output power is on.
23
Output
Transmitter Off
Low when system RF output power is off.
24
Output
Mute Status
Low when the transmitter is muted via input pin 5.
25
Output
AFC Lock
Low when the internal exciter is locked onto the set
frequency.
26
Output
Power Supply Fault
Low when a power supply fault is detected in any RF
power supply.

28
Output
PA Fault
Low when any fault is detected in any PA module.
29
Output
PA Forward Power
DC voltage for PA forward power (select via pin 18).
Varies linearly from 0V = 0W to 5V = 1250 W.
30
Output
PA Reflected Power
DC voltage for PA reflected power (select via pin 18).
Varies linearly from 0V = 0W to 5V = 100 W.

32
Output
+5V
Low power logic voltage supply for remote interface
logic on this interface. Jumper J26 allows this to be
wired for fused or isolated power supply. Isolated
current limit is 7.5mA. Fused current limit is 0.5A.
33
Output
Forward Power
DC voltage for system forward output power. Varies
linearly from 0V = 0W to 5V = 1100 * Model Watts
(1100W for 1kW, 2200W for 2kW, etc.).
34
Output
PA Voltage
DC voltage representing the variable RF power supply
in a PA (select via pin 18). Linear from 0V = 0V to 5V =
50 V.
