Quench I/O Connector

a suitable cable to connect pins 5 and 6 on J2 of the 13x instrument to pins

6 and 7 of the 430 Programmer, Quench I/O connector.

Caution

The separate external segmented-rampdown option described below

ignores the Voltage Limit during the rampdown process.

Note

If the number of external-rampdown ramp segments is set to zero,

the modified rampdown is not used and the standard ramp rate

table will be effective during external rampdown. The Model 430

Programmer defaults to an empty rampdown table (number of

segments equal zero).

A separate segmented-ramp-rate table is available for external rampdown.

This option is accessible only via the external interface commands. See

section 4.5.5 on page 120.

A.6.3

External Quench Detection Output

The external quench detection output is a set of dry contacts (pins 1 and 2

of the Quench I/O connector) which close when the Model 430 Programmer

internal circuitry detects a quench condition. Note that the Model 430

Programmer internal quench detection must be enabled to assure that the

Model 430 Programmer will indicate a detected quench (see

section 3.10.2.13 on page 57).

The contacts remain shorted (when a quench has been detected) until the

RESET QUENCH

SHIFT-key is used to clear the quench condition.
