30 Connection TB8100 Installation Guide
© Tait Electronics Limited February 2007
Note When a reciter fitted with a TaitNet RS-232 system interface
board is used in a TB8100 base station, the RS-232 port on the
control panel is disabled. In this situation you must connect to the
RS-232 port at the rear of the reciter. Refer to “TaitNet
RS-232” on page 25 for more details. When a reciter fitted with
a TaitNet Ethernet system interface board is used, the RS-232
port on the control panel is available only when the base station
first powers up. Refer to “Connection” in the Installation and
Operation Manual for more details.
2.6 12V PA Power Saving Control Connection
To enable Power Saving in the 12V PA, you must connect digital out 1 on
the reciter’s system interface connector to pin 1 of the Power Saving control
connector on the rear panel of the PA. Once this connection is made, the
PA will shut down whenever the reciter goes into Deep Sleep mode. For
more information on the operation and configuration of Power Saving, refer
to “Power Saving” in the Installation and Operation Manual.
Note When a base station with a 12V PA is configured for Deep Sleep,
digital out 1 is dedicated to Power Saving control and should not
be used for any other Task Manager function.
Two ways of making the Power Saving control connection between the 12V
PA and reciter are described below. The circled numbers in the following
instructions refer to Figure 2.3.
Method 1 1. Connect one end of the Power Saving control cable b (Tait part
