Output Pulse Configuration With Inverted Gate Selected 
4.2 Power Supply Enable 
For safety and flexibility, the PVM-4210 features a power supply enable input 
(DSUB connector pin 14). In order to enable the DC power supplies (and 
therefore generate an output pulse), this input must be held HIGH. This can be 
done in two ways: 
1.  Apply a TTL high signal to pin 14. The input impedance is 5K Ohms. 
2.  A +5V output is available on pin 3 of the DSUB connector. This 5V output 
can be connected to pin 14 through a switch. In this configuration, the DC 
power supplies can be enabled and disabled by closing the switch between 
pins 3 and 14. WARNING: This 5V output should only be used for satisfying 
the enable signal requirements of the driver. It should not be used as a 5V 
source for any other purpose.
