142 Appendix E Testing with the TBA0STU Calibration Test Unit TB9400/TN9275 Installation and Operation
© Tait International Limited May 2023
Note 1 The TB9400 reciter provides +5.2V on pin 13 of the system interface. This 
is insufficient for correct operation of the CTU’s audio amplifier. The 
supplied power cable should be connected to the PMU auxiliary 12V or 
24V power supply.
Do not power the CTU from a PMU fitted with a 48V auxiliary power 
supply board.
If you are not using the LED indicators or built-in audio amplifier, it is not 
necessary to connect a power supply.
1$
Speaker volume control Supported for monitoring the 
balanced line output
1%
RSSI output Supported This output is used to monitor 
the RSSI output voltage
1^
Digital output LEDs Supported for digital outputs 1 
and 2
These LEDs indicate the status 
of the DIO1 and DIO2 on the 
system interface connector. 
They are lit when these digital 
outputs are active low.
1&
Ground connector Supported This banana socket can be used 
as ground with RX GATE, TX 
KEY and RSSI. It is connected 
to the CTU and system interface 
connector ground.
1*
Antenna (simplex) relay output 
and LED
Supported (see Note 3) This output is connected to the 
antenna relay output system 
interface connector. The LED is 
lit when the output is activated.
1(
Keying switch for transmitter Supported to key the transmitter Set this switch to ON to key the 
transmitter. When the switch is 
in the OFF position, applying a 
signal to the TX KEY banana 
socket will control the state of 
the transmitter. 
2)
TX key activation  Supported to key the transmitter Ground this input to key the 
transmitter. Alternatively, turn on 
the TX KEY switch 
1(.
2!
RX gate output and LED Supported to indicate the RX 
gate is active
This output is connected to the 
Rx Gate output on the system 
interface connectors. The 
adjacent LED is lit when the 
receiver gate is open.
2@
DC input Supported (see Note 1) Connect a 10 to 32VDC power 
supply to this input. This supply 
powers the speaker and LEDs.
