Connect tally outputs (optional)
See the schematic on page 6-32.
The 8600S supports two hardware tally outputs, which are NPN open-collector
and operate with respect to pin 1 (common). Therefore, the voltage applied to
the load (such as a relay or opto-isolator) must be positive. You can use the 12
VDC source on pin 25 to drive the high side of the load, taking into account the
fact that the voltage on pin 25 is current limited by a 300
Ω
resistor.
The tally outputs are protected against reverse polarity.
To avoid damaging the 8600S, limit the current into a tally output
to 30 mA. DO NOT connect a tally output directly to a low-
impedance voltage source! The tally outputs are not protected
against this abuse and the output transistors are likely to burn out.
Note that the tally outputs have no special RFI protection. Therefore, it is wise to
use shielded cable to make connections to them.
See step 3.D) on page 2-25 for instructions on using the tally outputs.

Connect to a computer
You can connect to a computer via the 8600S’s serial connector or via an Ether-
net network. (See

The
Power Cord
is detachable and is terminated in a “U-ground” plug (USA stan-

, is provided to con-
nect the 8600S to IBM PC-compatible computers, directly or via modem, for remote
control, metering and software downloads.
A
Remote Interface Connector
allows you to connect the 8600S to your existing
transmitter remote control or other simple contact-closure control devices. The
8600S remote control supports user-programmable selection of up to eight optically-
isolated inputs for any one of the following parameters: recalling any factory- or us-
er presets, tone or bypass modes, selecting stereo encoder modes (stereo, mono-left,
