APPENDIX A
OPTION DESCRIPTIONS
TM Option 02A Tape Search With AUX (DIP Relays)
Assembly 20138-1
1.0 INTRODUCTION
This assembly is used to provide the electrical interface between the TymMachine 7000 and a Tape
Recorder/Reproducer. The interface consists of relay contacts, which may be interconnected by the
user to control a variety of Recorder/Reproducers. The –1 Assembly includes Tape Speed Control
Relays.
1.1 INSTALLATION
This assembly may be plugged into any available double-wide option position. Remove power
from the TM7000. If necessary, remove a card guide to create a double-wide position by removing
the screw which holds it from inside the unit. Plug this assembly into any available option slot in
the rear of the chassis, being careful that components are on the upper side. Interconnect to the
recorder/reproducer. Apply power.
1.2 SPECIFICATIONS
Momentary closures are about 250 milliseconds. To provide overlap with forward and reverse,
RECORD is about 330 milliseconds. When FAST and a direction are output, the FIRST is about
250 milliseconds, and the last is about 330 milliseconds, starting simultaneously. Timing is altered
slightly when modified to operate with Models 90 and 97. FAST 2 is a continuous closure.
Specifications for the relay contacts are as shown in Table 1, Relay Contact Specifications.
