2.3.5 waveguide/coaxial switch interface

In standard configuration only switch interfaces at CON 10, 11, 12 and 13 (switch No. 1...4) are available. The other switch interfaces are deactivated in standard delivery state. They can easily be enabled by entering the corresponding feature code. See chapter 2.4.1 Feature code activation for further information. Call SatService GmbH sales team for purchasing a feature code.

Pin-layout is the same for all switch interfaces. By default, all interfaces use 24V EXT as switching signal and use GND EXT as common. If you have got switches installed in your system that use +24V as common and need GND to be switched, sat-nms IO-FEP2 provides a solution as well. Take a look at chapter 2.4.5 Change polarity of waveguide-switch interfaces and learn how to manage that.

For each interface there three LEDs available showing actual state. In the upper connector row, LEDs are located below corresponding connectors, in the lower row, LEDs are located above corresponding connector.
