Ranger ™ Mobile Series
2.6.1 External Interlocks
The transmitter has inputs for up to four
external interlocks on the External I/O
Board. Note that these 4 connections
comprise one interlock with 4 series
connection points. The transmitter, as
shipped from the factory, has no external
interlock connections. The Ranger External
I/O Connection schematic (843-5560-105 or
843-5549-141, sht 20) shows that Interlock
#1, J18-1 to J18-2, is usually used by a 3
port patch panel. The other three are to be
used at the customers discretion.
IMPORTANT:
The External Interlock circuit requires a closed connection between all of the fol-
lowing terminals on the External I/O Bd to turn the transmitter on:
• J18 pins 1-2 (usually connected to 3 port patch panel)
• J18 pins 3-4 (for customer use)
• J18 pins 5-6 (for customer use)
• J18 pins 7-8 (for customer use)
2.6.2 RF Mute Interlock
There are 2 more interlock connections on J18 which can be used to apply an RF Mute;
instead of a Fault OFF condition as discussed above. This could be used for RF switch
changeover or a dummy load thermal interlock. The connections are:
• J18-9 to J18-10
• J18-11 to J18-12
!
CAUTION:
THE RF MUTE INTERLOCK CONNECTIONS ARE NOT TO BE USED IN ANY
SITUATION WHERE PROTECTION OF PERSONNEL IS AN ISSUE.
