Status and Control
Details of analog controls are provided in this data sheet 
under Signal Definitions. GE Energy will provide separate 
application notes on the I2C protocol. Contact your local 
GE Energy representative for details. 
Signal Definitions
All signals and outputs are referenced to Output return. 
These include ‘Vstb return’ and ‘Signal return’. 
Input Signals
Voltage programming (V
prog
):
An analog voltage on this
signal can vary the output voltage ± 10% from 10.8Vdc to 
13.2Vdc. The equation of this signal is: 
V
out
= 10.8 + (V
prog
* 0.96) 0 < V
prog
< 2.5
If 2.5 < Vprog < 3, the output is 13.2V. If Vprog is > 3V 
or left open the programming signal is ignored and the 
unit output is set at the setpoint of 12Vdc. 
Load share (Ishare):
This is a single wire analog signal
that is generated and acted upon automatically by power 
supplies connected in parallel. The Ishare pins should be 
tied together for power supplies if active current share 
among the power supplies is desired. No resistors or 
capacitors should get connected to this pin. 
Remote ON/OFF:
Controls the presence of the main
12Vdc output voltage. This is an open collector, TTL level 
control signal. This signal needs to be pulled HI 
externally through a resistor. Maximum collector voltage 
is 12Vdc and the maximum sink current is 4mA. A Logic 
1 (TTL HI level) turns ON the 12Vdc output, while a Logic 
0 (TTL LO level) turns OFF the 12Vdc output. 
A turn OFF command either through this signal (Remote 
ON/OFF) or firmware commanded would turn OFF the 
12V output. 
Enable:
This is a short signal pin that controls the
presence of the 12Vdc main output. This pin should be 
connected to ‘output return’ on the system side of the 
output connector. The purpose of this pin is to ensure 
that the output turns ON after engagement of the power 
blades and turns OFF prior to disengagement of the 
power blades. 
Write protect (WP):
This signal protects the contents of
the EEPROM from accidental over writing. When left 
open the EEPROM is write protected. A LO (TTL 
compatible) permits writing to the EEPROM. This signal 
is pulled HI internally by the power supply. 
Output signals
Output current monitor (Imon):
A voltage level
proportional to the delivered output current is present on 
this pin. 134A = 3V, 100A = 2.25V; accuracy: ± 10%. 
AC OK:
A TTL compatible status signal representing
whether the input voltage is within the anticipated range. 
This signal needs to be pulled HI externally through a 
resistor. Maximum sink current ≤ 4mA and the max 
voltage is 12Vdc. Open collector (HI) on this signal 
indicates that the input voltage is applied within the 
specified input range. 
DC OK:
A TTL compatible status signal representing
whether the output voltage is present. This signal needs
