ONNECTOR

 

The multi-interface connector (see 

Figure 1

) is a male 25-pin miniature D-sub type that includes 

five interfaces—RS232, DC input power, ON/OFF control line, analog audio, and DPL. The multi-

interface connector pin assignments are summarized in 

Table 1

which is ‘pin-to-pin’ the same 

as model A3LA-R, A3LA-XM, and A3LA-X.
