5.2 Interface
External connections (optional / at Sub-D 9-pol. Connector X4 male)
Dimming:
Pin 8
external voltage input for
variable dimming of
legends.
(optional)
Analog input signal for variable control of the legends illumination.
Input voltage range is freely adjustable in the range of 1.5 … 28 V in the
setup menu. Refer to chapter “Setup Page”.
Default setting 8 …28 V. (8 V = Off, 28 V = max. dimming for legends)
Input Impedance: > 50 kΩ
Pin 6
night status line for LCD
dimming (optional)
Low-active (as example switch to ground).
At input voltage < 2,5 V
DC
the LCD dimming operates in night/NVG
mode. Maximum brightness ca. 4% of day/default mode brightness.
Input Impedance: > 50 kΩ
Pin 4
NVG status line for LCD
dimming (optional)
Low-active (as example switch to ground).
At input voltage < 2,5 V
DC
the LCD dimming operates in night/NVG
mode. Maximum brightness ca. 4% of day/default mode brightness.
Input Impedance: > 50 kΩ
Audio/LF:
Pin 7 Audio output signal
AC coupled voltage source with very low inner resistance.
Maximum output voltage ca 8 V
PP
= 2,83V
RMS
at maximum Volume.
Maximum output power ca. 2 W with 4Ω speaker.
If a headphone is connected ([32…600] Ω / 100mW), we recommend
using a resistor (18 Ω / 0.25 W) between audio output and headphone
to prevent damage of the headphone.
Serial interface RS232: (9600 baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity)
Pin 3 TXD Serial output (ca. ±10 V)
Pin 2 RXD Serial input (ca. ±10 V)
