Connector Power Supply Options
Power from the radios primary power source is fed to the auxiliary, internal
options, control-head and microphone connectors. Whether power to these
connectors is unswitched, switched or not supplied is determined by
hardware links LK5 and LK6 as shown in
and
.
Unswitched Power
Unswitched power means that power will always be supplied to the
connector while the primary power source is connected to the radio and is
alive. The supply to the connector is not affected by the state of the radio.
Switched Power
Switched power means that when the radio is off or in standby mode, the
power to the connector is switched off. The power will also be switched off
if the primary power source voltage is outside the radio’s operating range
(for details refer to
). The switched current
drawn by all connectors must not exceed 1A in total.
Note
The switched output is protected. Short-circuiting the switched
power on any connector will not damage the radio. In the event
of a short circuit, the current folds back to protect the switch
device and connectors.
