Type
Description
4-pin DIN to 6-pin
This cable connects the amplifier to the load. To apply
DIN motor cable
the amplified signal to the actuator, connect this cable
from the To Load socket on the amplifier to the system
actuator.
2xRCA to 2xRCA
This cable is used to connect the amplifier to the data
cable
acquisition (DAQ) device. To apply the reference sig-
nal to the amplifier, connect an analog output channel
on the DAQ device to the Amplifier Command socket
on the amplifier. To measure the current or an analog
sensor, connect an analog input channel on the DAQ
device to the Current Sense or the S1, S2, S3, or S4
sockets on the amplifier.
6-pin mini-DIN to 6-
This cable is used to connect an analog sensor on a
pin mini-DIN cable
system (e.g., potentiometer, tachometer) to the ampli-
fier, where the signals can be either monitored and/or
used by a controller. The cable also carries a 12VDC
line from the amplifier to power a sensor and/or signal
conditioning circuitry.
Emergency
Stop
Enables/disables the amplifier.
(E-Stop)
Switch
gency Stop Switch to the E-Stop connector on the
[optional]
VoltPAQ-X2 and -X4. The amplifier is deactivated when
the knob is in the pressed DOWN position. It is enabled
when the knob is in the upright, released position. If the
E-Stop cable is not connected, the amplifier is always
enabled.
Important: The E-Stop is optional and not typically
supplied with the VoltPAQ-X2 and -X4.
