Connector Pin-Out Information
The RF section receives control voltages for the A3 attenuator from the A7
analog interface assembly. It also receives power-supply voltages for the A3
attenuator and A5 second converter assemblies from the A7 analog interface
assembly. The W13 wire harness connects the attenuator and second converter
to the A7J2 connector on the A7 assembly. Table 6-2 identifies the signals that
are supplied to the two RF assemblies and Figure 6-1 shows the pin number
location on A7J2.
