Signal Connector
X12
Voltage Meaning
- Pin 5 +15 V Power supply
- Pin 6 + 5 V Power supply
Ready signal Pin 3 +15 V Probe is ready
Negated trigger signal Pin 10 + 5 V Probe is ready, stylus at rest
Negated trigger signal Pin 10 0 V Probe is ready, stylus deflected
If available, you can also connect an identical touch probe to test the functionality!
