Warning: This page is a draft

This application note describes how RadiMation® can be configured to make optimal use of the safety interlock system that is available on the RadiCentre®.

Hardware setup.[edit]

The rf switch card in the RadiCentre has an interlock input which must be connected to all safety switches (doors etc). Typically the "A" relay is switched to NC when the interlock is not closed. Also in the case the interlock is not closed, RadiMation® will not start a test.

Schematic overview of interlock relay.[edit]

In this schema we can see that we are using 7A, 7 for the 7th slot in RadiMation® and A for the relay.
