Hardware Links
The different power sense options have to be facilitated by hardware means,
as the software cannot act before it is powered up. The radio provides four
hardware links (LK1 to LK4) which can be configured to attain the power
sense option desired. This is described in
“Configuring the Hardware Links
Programmable I/O
After configuration of the hardware links, care should be taken to configure
the corresponding I/O lines accordingly. With some link settings, certain
lines will not be able to be used as general purpose I/O. Refer to
Power-On Mode
In addition to the power sense options, with the ‘13.8 V battery power
sense’, ‘auxiliary power sense’ and ‘internal options power sense’
configurations, the power-on mode of the radio must be programmed to be
either on or to return to its previous state when the power sense signal was
removed. For information on programming the power-on mode refer to the
online help of the programming software.
On/Off Key
The on/off key on the control head (TM8115 only) can be used with any
of the power sense options to turn the radio on and off.
The power sense options and the emergency power sense are described in
the following sections.
