outputting the sound source strength equivalent voltage. The LEMO connection is Push-Pull self-latching. Align the
red dots on both ends of the connection and push the connector in axially. Disengage the connector by pulling the

The other end of the cable connects to the electronic protection device in the main power cable.
The source must be powered by an instrumentation amplifier like the Simcenter Qsources Measurement Power
Amplifier.
The main power cable of this device has two black banana plugs, which should be connected to the power amplifier.
Turn the amplifier on when the output level is zero.
