On Ten-Tec supplies, the two center connectors are in series with the panel
switch, the transformer primary and the AC power line connection. The rigs,
through a front panel switch, short the two center connectors in order to
power on the supply. The switch within the rig is not capable of switching
the DC current, so it is important that it not be so used.
Responding to your question directly: yes, you can use those two pins from
your rig in series with the AC switch on your Astron supply with no problem.

Subject: [TenTec] Omni V Power Connector

| On the Omni V DC power connector there are 4 pins:. +12 and GND go on the
| outside two. On the power cable that came with my rig, the center two were
| jumpered together. Everything works fine when I connect the power cable to
| my Astron 12V supply, but I wonder what the center two pins are for? I
| suspect that they turn a Ten-Tec power supply on and off in respone to the
| Omni V's power switch, but the schematic just shows them jumpered. Could
I
| use these to control On/Off on my Astron supply?
