[. . . ] The Output Transmit Switch switches the wireless unit from receive to transmit. Depending upon the required function by the wireless unit, two ways of connecting it to the wireless unit are possible. Please refer to section 6. 0 for the proper connections. 13 TRANSCEIVER connector A Sub-D 9 pole connector for the connection of the wireless unit. Audio output - User Manual PS 155 / Issue 1 8 2001 ASL Intercom, Utrecht, Holland. 6 6. 0 THE INTERCONNECTING CABLE Special care must be taken in constructing the interconnection cable. Although ASL-intercom has taken great care in shielding and filtering all RF components from the unit, it is still very important that you use the best quality cables and properly construct any electrical and mechanical construction. · If possible, use a cable assembly of the wireless intercom manufacturer. · Always use the supplied Sub-D9 connector, this connector is shielded. This is necessary for wireless units that use the presence of a DC resistance, at the input or output, to switch from receive to transmit. In case of asymmetric signals at the wireless unit you may connect the negative signal of the input or output to the ground (pin7). The PTT switch contact An external Push To Talk switch may be connected to the interface. When the TX mode switch (9) is in the PTT position the interface reacts on this external switch. When the pins 3 and 7 of the Sub-D9 are shorted by the PTT switch the interface will switch the wireless unit from receive to transmit mode. The total resistance of the used cable and contact (in closed position) may not exceed a DC resistance of 5000 ohms. The TRANSMIT SWITCH contacts These are located on pins 4, 5 and 6. Most wireless units will need a contact to be closed to change from receive to transmit. The NO contact : This is a contact that is Normally Open, it is closed when the wireless unit needs to switch to transmit mode. In this case you need to use the pin 4, this is the Common pin (C), and pin 5, this is the Normally Open (NO) pin. The NC contact : This is a contact that is Normally Closed, it is opened when the wireless unit needs to switch to transmit mode. In this case you need to use the pin 4, this is the Common pin (C), and pin 6, this is the Normally Closed (NC) pin. In these case the manufacturer can advise you on what value of the resistor to use. The threshold level and release time are adjustable by the trimmers at the front panel. User Manual PS 155 / Issue 1 8 2001 ASL Intercom, Utrecht, Holland. 8 10. 0 INTERNAL CONTROLS To access these trimmers you need to open up the unit. Then carefully connect the unit to the intercom and to the wireless unit. clockwise the relay of the interface will be interrupted every second. If the trimmer is turned too much clockwise the interface will have a very long release time when the CALL button of the connected station is released. [. . . ] The ASL power supply may be connected to the mains power outlet to which other audio equipment is connected. Avoid using mains outlets which also power dimmer controlled lighting systems. In case of more complex installations, don't hesitate to contact us. Please send us a block diagram of the planned network with a list of all user stations and their positions, and we are happy to advise you on cabling lay out.
