System
This station requires a two-conductor twisted pair cable run between the station and the central cabinet.
Cable capacitance is critical to the station performance on long distances. Refer to
Table 1
for the
maximum system cable lengths and
Table 2
for the recommended cable sizes. Terminate the system
cable on terminal block P44 pins 5 and 6 (Data A and B).

Audio
External Speaker
If this station is located in a high noise area, an external speaker or horn can be used to broadcast audio
received by this station. Terminate the external speaker or horn on terminal block TB14.
Audio Output to Remote Amps
Audio received by this station can be transmitted to remote amplifier stations for broadcast into high noise
areas. Terminal block TB1 has been provided to connect audio to the remote amplifiers.
