How to install the Interlock
The RadiCentre® (Pro) uses a hardware interlock plug (6,3mm ¼” stereo jack)
which can be used as a safety interlock. The hardware interlock plug provides
two floating contacts which require connection for the system to operate. By
default the supplied interlock plug is shorted and must be inserted into the
interlock input at the back side of the RadiCentre®. When used with an
external interlock system, like a door switch, the wires need to be connected
in series with your interlock system and/or emergency stop circuitry. In this
case, please cut the RED wire and connect the open ends to your interlock
system. Refer to the relevant RadiCentre® manual for more information
regarding the functionality of the interlock system. All Raditeq manuals can
