2.5 Connecting studio signalling
Connect the studio signalling system to the rear of the XCU (cradle). The wiring of the
signalling connector is shown below:
There are several connection methods for the ISO (On Air Yellow), On Air and Call signalling
functions: dry contact, common ground, voltage level and open circuit/voltage level.
A selection in the INSTALL > SIGNALLING INPUT menu allows you to make the activity state
of the function (Active or Inactive) correspond to a particular input signal. There are two leads
for each connection - Send and Return.
