Lockout/tagout procedures are strongly advised.
3. Connect a properly wired Harting female connector and lock it in place by
closing the latch or by using the two pressure-loaded side tabs.

Connecting I/O and Auxiliary Connectors

DANGER:
RISK OF DEATH OR BODILY INJURY. Disconnect and lockout/tagout all
sources of input power before working on this unit or anything connected to
it.
CAUTION:
Do not connect any power to this unit without first connecting cooling water
and ensuring there are no leaks.
Depending on your process and the Paramount MF 2 kW generator configuration,
connect one or more of the I/O or auxiliary ports to communicate with the unit.

Connecting For External Voltage Regulation Mode

In external voltage regulation mode (also referred to as DC bias regulation), the
generator regulates on an external voltage rather than output power. The external
voltage feeds into the generator through an SMA connector, Sense V-In, located on
the back panel. The generator adjusts RF output voltage to make voltage coming to
the Sense V-In connector to be equal to the voltage on pin 5, SET POINT, of the
User port.
The Paramount MF 2 kW generator is designed to be used with the AE Low
Frequency Fixed Match. This fixed match has an output where the RF output voltage
is scaled to 10 VDC = 2000 V pk-pk.
If no connection on Sense V-In is present, the generator will read the peak to peak
voltage as 2000 V. If you are in voltage control mode, this voltage will show on the
