Connector J7

User Signals

Auxiliary connector J7, located on the RS-232 interface rear panel, provides

several signals to increase your operating control of the supply. These signals are

dependent on the operator's design and uses. The operation of the J7 signal requires

that you provide external Vcc and ground. Use a standard 8-position telephone jack

and data cable to connect to J7. To locate the connector, refer to the RS-232

interface subplate drawing in Figure 2.2, on page 21. See Figure 2.5 for pin

descriptions. The J7 outputs can sink a current of 5mA each. Figure 2.6, on page

35 shows the portion of the option board schematic which contains the J7

connector. Use the schematic as a reference when making input or output

connections.
