3.9  Clock and Lock Connectors (Optional) 
The connectors for the Clock signal, CLOCK, and Lock signal, LOCK, are BNC-type located on the rear 
panel; refer to Figure 3-24 for view of connectors and Table 3-32 for descriptions. These connectors are 
only available with the LKM or LKS options. These options are used to synchronize and control the phase 
shift of the output voltage of Auxiliary power sources in relation to the output of the Leader power source. 
The frequency of the Auxiliary power sources is determined by the frequency of the Leader source through 
the CLOCK signal; the phase is determined by the LOCK signal.

Function  Characteristics 
LKM (Option) 
Signal outputs in Leader unit for Clock and Lock that are used to synchronize two or more 
sources; CLOCK sets the frequency, while LOCK sets the phase; logic level, 
TTL-compatible; individual rear panel BNC connectors for each signal; safety isolation 
SELV-rated, referenced to chassis.
