9.5 Power UP/DOWN Option (only software)

The Power UP/DOWN option modifies the signal receive function for the signals

present at the telemetry connector.

RF section on / off control signals are treated as control signals for RF output

power level to allow for UP/DOWN setting.

The UP or DOWN command is provided by switching the corresponding signal at

the connector to ground for at least 500mS (pin features internal pull-up to power

supply).

Configuration of DB15F telemetry connector (Remote):

Pin Standard Function

UP/DOWN Power Function

14 On cmd

Up cmd

Enables the RF power supply Increases the RF power supply

15 Off cmd

Down cmd

Disables the RF power supply Reduces the RF power supply
