Figure 3-11 illustrates one method of supplying a Remote Interlock signal using a customer-supplied limit
switch. Firestar’s +24 VDC Auxiliary Power output powers the circuit. Note that Pin 4, +5 VDC Auxiliary
Power, could have been used to power the circuit instead, depending on circuit voltage requirements.

Figure 3-12 shows another variation for supplying a Remote Interlock signal to the laser. In this case, the
customer is using a switch and supplying a negative voltage to drive Firestar’s input circuit.
