5.2 Alarm Port


The Alarm Connector (J1) is used to indicate the fault condition of the modulator to external
equipment. This male 9-Pin D-Sub Connector provides connection to two form-c relays and an
open collector output for mod and demod. The user can distinguish between modulator and
demodulator alarms with the relays. All minor alarms are ignored. A major or common fault will
activate the alarm. Refer to Table 5-2 for connector pinouts. Table 5-3 below describes the alarm
indications.
