Pin Description
IN TXD (Transmitted Data)—Accepts TX
data from the connected device.
IN Sleep Mode Input—Grounding this pin
turns off most circuits in a remote radio.
This allows for greatly reduced power
consumption, yet preserves the radio's
ability to be quickly brought on line. (See
Using the Radio's Sleep Mode" for details.)
-- Signal Ground—Connects to ground
(negative supply potential) on chassis.
OUT Alarm Output (DSR)—An RS-232
high/space (+5.0 Vdc) on this pin indicates
an alarm condition. An RS-232 low/mark
(–5.0 Vdc) indicates normal operation. This
pin may be used as an alarm output. (See
Reference Manual.)
