Figure 73 shows an example of an SWS connection. Note the L11 terminal (which is the SWS
output) can be connected to multiple L12 terminals (SWS input), but the L12 terminal cannot be
connected to multiple L11 terminals.

Figure 75 shows the characteristics of SWS signal when it is active. It starts with a 1 ms pulse,
followed 700 µs later by a 500 µs pulse. This waveform is repeated every 4 ms. When inactive,
the SWS is 0V.
Figure 75 - SWS Waveform
When the signal is active, use a digital multimeter to measure the voltage. The digital
multimeter shows 8…9V.
If a fault occurs with either an SWS input or SWS output, then that circuit is held high. If a
digital multimeter reads a voltage measurement of approximately 21V, the signal is high. The
PWR/Fault status indicator flashes red five times.
Figure 76 on page 66
shows an example timing of a momentary interruption of the SWS input.
If a momentary interruption of the SWS signals occurs, the downstream unit ignores
interruptions less than 5.7 ms. The downstream unit automatically turns off and then back on
when the interruption is greater than 5.7 ms.
The momentary interruption does not cause a 'recovery' type fault, where the output turns off
and stays off and requires a further cycling of the SWS signal.
For long wire runs of the SWS signal, a shielded cable can be necessary to help
prevent nuisance faults from electromagnetic and motor noise.
