5 DC Line Keying
Where the transmitter and receiver are separated by only a short distance and DC isola-
tion is not required, DC loop keying may be employed.
Note: This feature is not available with standard line transformer ETAL P2781
(%T201B). Refer to Section 2.2.
A small DC current (usually less than 10mA) can be fed via the balanced 2-wire line to
provide remote control of various functions.
In a duplex system the receiver mute is used to key a transmitter, provided there is a
common earth between the two units (refer to Figure 5.6).
Figure 5.6 DC Loop Keying With Common Earth
Where the receiver and transmitter (or remote control) are distant, DC loop keying is
provided by an isolated supply, driver and detector because an earth cannot be relied on
(refer to Figure 5.7, Figure 5.8 and Figure 5.9).
