3.5.6 The cover bezel snaps easily on the MCD-9101-101-x faceplate
without the need of special tools. The cover bezel does not require
mounting bracket attachments.
3.5.7 Bonding between chassis mounting point and airframe installation
to be <0.1 ohm resistance using <50 ohm impedance cable. No
surface prep is required due to conductive chassis (except front
bezel).
3.6 Electrical Characteristics
3.6.1 Electrical Specifications
3.6.2 Typical interfaces include various AES-3 distribution and/or signal
manipulation devices. This unit is capable of interfacing and
providing output to compatible Audio International devices capable
of distributing and/or processing the source output digital audio
including, but not limited to: Audio routers, stand-alone AES-3
decoders, and audio power amplifiers with built-in AES-3 decoding
capability.
3.6.3 The MCD-9101-101-x utilizes one (1) 25-pin connector for electrical
connections, which provides power, data bus control, infrared input,
and three (3) ID address pins and a common ID for unit
identification on the RS-485 data bus and for IR control.
3.6.4 Infrared input provides a ground reference connection (-). For
optimum infrared signal transmission, this ground reference should
connect to the module being utilized.
3.6.5 The three (3) ID address pins can be connected to the ID common
to provide address configuration, on the RS-485 data bus. This
