3.10 Control-Head Board with 1-, 2- or 3-Digit Display
Introduction This section describes the circuitry of the control-head boards for the
control heads with 1-, 2- or 3-digit display. The boards differ in their layouts
but the components are virtually identical. The circuit description given
below is sufficiently general to be applicable to all boards.
User Interface The control-head board includes the circuitry for the following control
elements:
■ ON/OFF key
■ volume potentiometer
■ keypad (with four functions keys and two scroll keys)
■ LCD
■ three status LEDs
■ four function key LEDs (for function keys F1 to F4)
■ keypad backlighting LEDs
■ speaker.
Connectors The control-head board includes the circuitry for the following connectors:
■ microphone connector (RJ45 socket)
■ control-head connector (18-way MicroMaTch socket)
■ speaker connector (2 leads)
■ soldering pads (2 leads) for an optional concealed microphone
■ two control-head options connectors (for optional circuit board).
Protection circuitry is provided for the microphone connector. For pinouts
of the control-head connector and the microphone connector, refer to
“Connectors” on page 36. For more information on the control-head
options connector, please contact Tait Electronics Limited.
The optional circuit board is installed when a dynamic microphone is used
or a concealed microphone is fitted.
Basic Circuitry The LCD driver is based on IC2, IC5 and IC7. Electrical contact between
the control head and the LCD itself is via two elastomeric strips as described
in “Control Heads with 1-, 2- or 3-Digit Display” on page 29. There are
pads on the board for the seven keys—four function keys, two channel-
selection keys, and the
ON/OFF key. The device IC4 reads the status of the
function and channel-selection keys. Of the 18 LEDs, there are red, orange
and green
STATUS LEDs, and four green LEDs for the function keys, as well
as 11 green LEDs for back-lighting—one for each key and four for the LCD.
The four dual switching transistors Q1 to Q4 control the switching of the
LEDs; the transistors are driven by IC3.
