Connecting to the Auxiliary Connector
(Ignition Signal, Emergency Switch,
External Alert Devices)
The auxiliary connector can be used to connect external devices and signals
that are typically connected to a radio. These devices and signals include:
■
the ignition signal to power up and power down the radio
■
an emergency switch to power up the radio (if required) and then enter
emergency mode
■
external alert devices
Auxiliary Connector
The radio’s auxiliary connector is a 15-way standard-density D-range
socket.
The space for a mating plug is limited to 1 5/8 inch (41mm) in width
and 11/16 inch (18 mm) in height. Although most plugs will fit this
space, it is recommended that you test the plug to be used before manu-
facturing a cable.
Some input levels of the auxiliary connector depend on how the internal
hardware links are fitted (refer to
Table 3.3
). For more information on
hardware links refer to
"Hardware Links and Power-Sense Options" on
page 24
.
