TB3,4 Auxiliary Alarm Inputs Signals to trip alarms
from external sources
TTL levels, active low.
Pulled up to 5V by
4.7k internally.
Shunted to ground by
0.1μF capacitor.
TB5 5V Output Regulated 5V out put Can supply 360mA max.
TB6 Alarm Output Low when alarm is
sounding, returned
high by reset
Active low. Pulled up to
5V by 4.7k. Will sink
1.5A and source 1mA.
TB7 Ground Chassis ground Reference for signals.
TB8 Reset Input /Output Input to reset Wattcher
from external source.
May be used as an
output to reset other
equipment when
Wattcher is reset by the
front panel switch.
TTL levels, active low.
Pulled up to 5V by
4.7k internally.
Shunted to ground by
10μF capacitor.
TB9 Confirm Output Low when forward
power exceeds the
users confirm set point
Active low. Pulled up to
5V by 4.7k. Will sink
1.5A and source 1mA.
TB10 Active Forward
Monitor Input
(Carrier On)
Indicates to the
Wattcher that the RF
is on and that forward
power should be
monitored for a low
condition. There is an
adjustable internal
delay on the leading
edge of this signal.
TTL levels, active low.
Pulled up to 5V by
4.7k.
