3.4 Rear Panel connections
The Transmitter Controller has several types of connections on the rear panel of the
unit. The following will describe each type and what it is used for. See illustration
3-8 for location of each connector. Refer to Section 2.6 illustrations 2-7 and 2-8 for
detailed descriptions of each applicable remote control connector.
There are six (three, dual vertically stacked) DB-25 female connectors on the back of
the Transmitter Controller. PA1 and PA2 are what is used to connect to the DB-25
remote I/O on the back of each PA using the supplied DB-25 Male-to-Male cables.
The connectors labled PA3, PA4, and PA5 are not used for the FM4000.
The last connector labled I/O Port A is used for the Remote Interface and has the final
output metering information as well as the system controls for power control and high
voltage control. See illustration 2-7 on page 2-7 for a detailed description of what
each pin is used for.
There are two (one, dual vertically stacked) DB-37 female connectors on the back
of the Transmitter Controller. Port B is used for the Remote interface and has all the
metering channels found on both PA1 and PA2 routed to this connector.
Port C is not used on the FM4000. See illustration 2-8 on page 2-8 for a detailed
description of what each pin is used for.
There is one DB-9 female connector and one DB-9 male connector (vertically
stacked) on the back of the Transmitter Controller. The port labled Directional
Coupler is used to connect to the directional coupler mounted at the output of the
combiner. It's primary function is to bring into the controller the forward and
reverse power information that the controller uses to display on the front panel
meter. It's secondary function is to provide a supply voltage to the temperature
sensor located inside the connector shell of the cable that connects to the
directional coupler for cabinet temperature reading available on I/O port A. It also
provides fan voltage as well for cooling the coupler. The port labled power control
is not used in the FM4000.
