TBA0STU/TBA0STP CTU Operation Manual Using the CTU with a TB8100 23
© Tait Electronics Limited September 2005
UB INPUT
This input is connected to the unbalanced line input on the system interface 
connectors.
Note In August 2005, the unbalanced input on the CTU was changed 
from DC to AC coupled.  Refer to “AC Coupled Unbalanced 
Audio Input” on page 9 for more details.
UB OUTPUT This output is connected to the unbalanced line output on the system 
interface connectors.  Audio on this line can be monitored on the CTU 
speaker.
LINE OUTPUT The CTU makes audio from the TB8100 receiver available on this 
connector (it connects LINE OUTPUT to the balanced line output on the 
system interface connectors).  LINE OUTPUT is connected directly to pins 
1 & 2 on the connectors (i.e. it is not grounded).  The audio on LINE 
OUTPUT can be monitored on the CTU speaker.
600Ω LOAD This switch connects or disconnects the 600Ω load across the balanced 
LINE OUTPUT.  This allows the output to be terminated correctly for 
calibration procedures.  Turn the switch on if the LINE OUTPUT is not 
otherwise terminated.
SYSTEM INTERFACE Not used with TB8100.
SYSTEM INTERFACE These connect to the 25-way or 15-way system interface connector on the 
rear of the reciter.
DIGITAL/
PROGRAMMING 
INPUTS
These switches let you set the digital inputs into the TB8100 high or low.  
The switches are connected to the digital inputs on the system interface 
connectors, as described in the table below.  The standard switch settings are 
as follows:
1 = high, inactive, 5V (10kΩ pull-up to 5V)
0 = low, active, 0V
The CTU is a generic test unit, so not all digital I/O lines can be exercised 
or monitored.  This applies in particular to the ability to monitor 
bidirectional I/O lines, as these are connected only to switches, not LEDs 
(see also DIGITAL OUTPUTS 
1^).
