Figure 14 : BIX output connector pinout

Connect the dc power pair for each Base Station to the power terminals
on the same connector as in “Upgrading an RPI-8 to an RPI-16.”

WARNING!

Do not power up the RPI until the
installation is complete, including the
installation of Base Station cross-
connectors.

If you are adding extra lines for Base
Stations, always power down the RPI
before you begin.
