2.4.2 Switch Fault/Status Connector (J11)
The RCU101 Redundancy Control Unit contains a summary Fault/Status connector that is
available to the equipment operator for the purpose of monitoring the summary fault status of
both converters as well as the individual status of the converters. The pinouts of this 15-pin D
SUB connector are as follows:

The primary and backup summary fault relay contacts provide fault indications to flow through the
switch into one common connector. In addition, the two Form-C summary fault contacts on the
test fault connector on the rear of the RCU101 provide a Form-C closure to indicate which
converter is presently online. Continuity of these contact closures implies online status for the
indicated converter.
2.4.3 RCU101 RF and IF Rear Panel Connectors
The following paragraphs describe the RF and IF connectors located on the rear panel of the
RCU101.
2.4.3.1 J3 RF Primary
The RF Primary connector goes to the RF port of the primary converter. This connection is made
via the supplied semi-rigid cable with the RCU101 system. If the primary converter is online, this
port will be connected to the RF In/Out port (J4).
