TX-SK+ SoftKey Transmitter

Connecting Cables

These instructions describe how to recharge the batteries, and to program the TX-SK+ transmitter.

Recharging the batteries

Use the 12 VDC (800 mA) power supply to recharge the TX-SK+ batteries. Charging is controlled 

by an internal microprocessor to prevent overcharging the battery. The DC power supply is wired 

with 12 VDC to tip, and GND (-) to sleeve

Programming the unit

There are two types of cables you can purchase to download AXCESS or SKDesign programs to 

the TX-SK+. The CC-232 DB-9 (female) connector-to-stereo mini-plug cable connects directly to 

your PC's serial port and the TX-SK+. The CC-232 DB-9 (male) connector-to-stereo mini-plug 

adapter cable connects to an AMX programming cable and to the TX-SK+. Figure 14 shows the 

cable construction and solder-side pinout views. 

The following table lists the pinouts for the cables.
