B GATE OUT 1
■ Signal direction: output
■ Signal level: 0 to 50VDC
■ Signal impedance: < 1 ohm
Isolated relay contact output. Normally configured to connect directly with
/GATE OUT 2 when radio receiver is in a busy state. Can be configured to output
+12VDC @150mA in a normally open or normally closed configuration,
depending on link population. See “Additional configuration links” on page 38.
Maximum voltage on this line is 50VDC when configured for clean relay contact
operation. Maximum current through relay contacts and PCB is 500mA
continuous or 1A for less than one second.
CGROUND
■ Signal direction: bidirectional
■ Signal level: 0VDC
■ Signal impedance: < 1 ohm
Connection to AC and DC ground. Maximum current on this line is 500mA
continuous or 1A for less than one second.
D /PTT IN 1
■ Signal direction: input
■ Signal level: 10-50VDC to activate TX key input
■ Signal impedance: 5k ohm
Connection to input of TX key optocoupler. Between 10V and 50V DC is
required across the optocoupler input (normally between /PTT IN 1 and /PTT
IN 2) in order to activate the optocoupler. Input signal is bridge rectified so signal
is not polarity sensitive. Current input at 50V is 10mA.
Can be configured for permanent or gate relay connection to +12VDC or DC
ground, depending on link population. See “Additional configuration links” on
page 38.
E LINE IN 1
■ Signal direction: input
■ Signal level: -30 to +5dBm
■ Signal impedance: 600 ohms
Half of the isolated balanced audio input line, paired with LINE IN 2. The
frequency response and filtering of the signal of the signal depends on the
configuration of the AUD_TAP_IN as defined in the programmable audio options
of the radio. See “Programmable I/O form, Audio tab” on page 40.
The frequency response of this line through the TA2922 board is from 50Hz to
3kHz. This input is used with 4-wire balanced configurations and is not used in 2-
wire configurations.
