1.2 POWER DETECTOR CONNECTORS
1.2.1 DB-15 “intelligent” connector
The DB-15 male "intelligent" connector contains an EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable
Read-Only Memory) with different information such as the model of the detector, the calibration
sensitivity, the applicable scales and the wavelength correction factor for up to 20 wavelengths
related to the Ultra Series UP detector head in use.
This connector, available in the UP without amplification, allows the TPM-300CE, DUO (model of
the detector, calibration sensitivity and scale) and SOLO (model of the detector, calibration
sensitivity, scale and wavelength correction factor) monitors to adjust their characteristics
automatically to the power sensor being connected. No calibration procedure is required when
installing the power heads, allowing for faster set-up.
The DB-15 connector pin-out is composed of (see Fig. 1-1):
