The circuitry consists of a common which can be connected to an output corresponding to selected RF path. If one or several RF paths are closed, the corresponding indicators are connected to the common. The photo-MOS transistors are configured for AC and/or DC operation. The electronic position indicators require the supply (20 to 32 VDC) to be connected to pin 1 and ground connected to pin 15. Ways 1 and 4 are not connected for SP4T switches.

Each RF path can be closed by applying Ground or TTL "High" for option 2 to the corresponding "drive" pin. In general, except for Make-Before-Break drive, all other RF paths are simultaneously opened by internal logic. Standard drive option "1" * Connect pin 15 to ground. * Connect pin 1 to supply (+20 VDC to +32 VDC) * Select (close) desired RF path by applying Ground to the corresponding "drive" pin (Ex: apply Ground to pin 3 to close RF path 1). * To select another path, ensure that all unwanted RF path "drive" pins are disconnected from Ground (to prevent multiple RF path engagement). Apply Ground to the "drive" pin which corresponds to the desired RF path. * To open all RF paths, ensure that all RF path "drive" pins are disconnected from Ground. Complete the operation by applying Ground to pin 16. Ways 1 and 4 are not connected for SP4T switches. TTL drive option "2" * Connect pin 15 to ground. * Connect pin 1 to supply (+20 VDC to +32 VDC) * Select (close) desired RF path by applying TTL "High " to the corresponding "drive" pin (Ex: apply TTL "High" to pin 3 to close RF path 1). * To select another path, ensure that all unwanted RF path "drive" pins are in TTL "Low" position (to prevent multiple RF path engagement). Apply TTL "High" to the "drive" pin which corresponds to the desired RF path. * To open all RF paths, ensure that all RF path "drive" pins are in TTL "Low" position. Complete the operation by applying TTL "High" to pin 16. Break-Before-Make Open the undesired RF path. After 15 ms (minimum), close the new RF port. Make-Before-Break Ensure that the previously selected RF path "drive" is connected to Ground (or TTL "High" for option "2", then close the new RF path.
