+15 V (output)
• This auxiliary voltage output (15 to 17 V DC with reference to
AGND) can be used to control the trigger input, or to supply
power to external components (e.g. reference element for
generating control voltages).
• The output is equipped with electronic current limiting to
approximately 60 mA, and is short-circuit proof to AGND.
AGND (analog ground = reference point)
• Reference point for analogue control inputs and outputs.
• This terminal is internally connected to the minus pole of the
power output via an auto-reversible fuse with a rating of
110 mA.
Uset-, Uset+ (input)
