External Operation and Status Monitoring
Background
The analog control connector can also be used
to monitor the status operation and alarm
status of the instrument.
The pins are isolated from the power supply
internal circuitry by photo couplers. Status
Com1 (Pin 1) and Status Com2 (Pin 5) are photo
coupler emitter outputs, whilst pins 2~3, 14~17
are photo coupler collector outputs.
A maximum of 30V and 8mA can be applied to
each pin. The Status Com pin is floating with an
isolation voltage of 60V.
