Issue 6.0   2014-11-01

Page 6-1

Section 6:  

Installing program inputs

This section describes how to connect program input wiring to the VS300. 

Planning

Make sure you have read and fully understood the program input options described in the 

VS300 Pre-

installation Manual

 before proceeding. The 

VS300 Pre-installation Manual

 also includes the connector 

type and gender (male or female) of the transmitter’s interfacing connectors.

Connecting cables

1. Obtain a ferrite toroid [85.7 mm (Nautel Part # LP23) or 38 mm (Nautel part # LXP38), as 

appropriate] from the Installation Kit.

2. Route program input cable(s) through the ferrite toroid, then to the rear of the VS300. If 

practical, pass the cable through the ferrite toroid twice (two turns).

3. Connect the appropriate program input cable(s) between the program source(s) and the 

connector(s) described in “Analog inputs” or “Digital inputs” in the VS300 Pre-installation 
Manual (see 

Figure 6.1 on page 6-2

).

Note: 

With the exception of D-sub connectors, all program input mating connectors must be provided by 
the user.
