The discrete interface provides all the necessary functions to monitor and control the amplifier.
The unit provides open collectors for continuous monitoring alarms, faults, amplifier status and
amplifier enable/disable switching.
Figure 8
at page 30 provides the detailed circuit information
required to use the above features. Pins 12, 13,16, 17, 18 & 19 are active for redundant option
only.

RF E
NABLE
In order to disable the MUTE state of the amplifier and to enable the RF output, a contact
between pins 8 & 15 of the Discrete Interface connector (J3) is mandatory. When these pins are
not in contact, the amplifier is in MUTE state.
