5.  Connect the ALC jack to the exciter ALC terminals with a shielded audio type cable 

and standard phono connector. 

 
6.  Connect the female power connector from the ALS-600PS/SPS supply to the multi-

pin male connector on the ALS-600 rear chassis. 

 
7.  The 12V connector can be used to supply 12-14 Vdc at less than 200 mA for station 

accessories.
