EPS100 Digital/Analog Remote Interface.

The digital and analog interface is a 15-pin, D-style subminiature female connector,
located on the rear panel. The remote high-voltage go on, analog setpoint, clamp
is up, clamp is down, and alarm outputs are contained in this connector.

Pin Description Direction
1 HV go on (-) Input
2 HV analog setpoint Input (0-5V scale = 0-1000 VDC)
3 HV go on (+) Input
4 +12 VDC (current limited) Output
5 Analog common Relative to pins 2 and 6
6 Measured HV output Output (0-5V scale = 0-1000 VDC)
7 Digital common Relative to pins 11, 12 and 13
8 Not used
9 Not used
10 Not used
11 HV is on/Clamp is down Active low
12 HV is off/Clamp is up Active low
13 Fault output Active low
14 Not used
15 Not used

Analog I/O (pins 2 and 6) is configured for 0-5 VDC single-ended operation. Consult
the factory for applications that require a 0-10 VDC or bipolar interface.

Pins 5 and 7 are not tied together internally. All digital I/O should be referenced
to pin 7 and all analog I/O should be referenced to pin 5. An external common
connection between pins 5 and 7 will not alter the performance of the EPS100

Pins 1 and 3 are optically isolated from DC power and DC common. A simple remote
control interface can be accomplished by connecting pins 3 and 4 together and
connecting pin 1 to DC common, via a switch, to set the high voltage go on active
via the digital interface.
