12 25 CEX LOCK Digital 
output
When the generator is 
successfully phase-locked to an 
external oscillator, a low (opto-
coupler output) impedance is 
created between this pin and 
return pin 25. (6 mA max)
See Wiring Diagram 4-11.
13 21 +15 VDC Analog 
output
This pin, referenced to ground, 
provides a +15 Vdc auxiliary 
supply for external use.
See Wiring Diagram 4-13.
14 1 SETPOINT STATUS Digital 
output
When the output is equal to the 
requested setpoint, a low (opto-
coupler output) impedance is 
created between this pin and 
pin 1. (6 mA max).
See Wiring Diagram 4-8.
Note: This condition is also 
referred to as the generator 
being at setpoint.
