DXE-CW9S
is a shielded control cable that has 10-conductors and works very well for running
control signals for the
DXE-RR2X8
remote switch,
DXE-MX2X8
interface unit and the two
DXE-
CC-8A
control consoles..
Note:
Do not seal the connectors! The connectors are recessed inside a drip edge
that prevents water from getting into connectors. The cover-to-connector
plate junction is not sealed so the unit can "breathe” and eliminate
condensation.
Power, Ground, MIL, SIL Connections
Referring to the previous wiring diagrams there are five wires shown not connected (GND, +12
VDC, MIL, SIL, GND).
+12 VDC is the line that needs station power (u13.8 VDC nominal) connected to it. This
line supplies the voltage needed to operate the relays.
The two GND (Ground) wires shown need to be connected to the ground side of the station power.
As in the diagram shown, you will have to supply a ground wire from (in this example) from Slave
Radio “B” GND to the same ground that Master Radio “A” is connected to. This connects each
controller to the common ground.
Additionally, each
DXE-CC-8A
control console unit has its own power connection (not shown in
the diagram for clarity) that would be connected to the same +13.8 VDC (nominal) station power
supply.
The MIL and SIL wires are explained earlier in this manual and their use is optional.
