Y1150A Switch Options Supported

(Recommended options are shaded).

Option Name	Option Number		Description and Comments
Frequency Range		various	All options supported
Coil Voltage	105		+5VDC
			Highest coil current requirement of all coil voltage
			options. May limit system speed because current
			capacity limitations. This option draws 600 mA
			(except N1810UL 300 mA). Therefore, a maximum of 3 (6)
			devices may be switched simultaneously.
	115		+15VDC
		124	+24VDC (required if using internal power)
DC Connector		201	D-Sub 9 pin female
Type
	202		Solder lugs
			Can use ribbon cables with the Y1150A, or discrete wires
			with the Y1155A.
RF Performance		various	All options supported
Drive Options	401		TTL/CMOS compatible
			All switches on the same distribution board must use the
			same drive mode.
		402	Position indicators (required to use verification feature)
	403		Current interrupts
			For pulsed operation, current interrupts are not required.
			May provide system switching speed improvements.
