Acom 2000A Operating Manual page 13

If there is a CAT connection between your amplifier and your transceiver,
which carries also the KEY-OUT signal, you don't need a separate KEY-OUT
cable. Please see section 7.
f) Connect the supplied DB9 / DB9+2RCA control cable between the RCU connector marked
AMPL and the amplifier REMOTE CONTROL connector. Plug in the two Phono connectors
marked KEY-IN and KEY-OUT to the respective amplifier sockets. Screw in the knurled screws
g) To control the amplifier via CAT you will need a special cable from the transceiver to the High
Density HD-15 connector on the RCU rear panel, marked CAT. The HD-15 pinout and cable
diagrams for various transceivers are shown in section 7. The cable can be supplied as an
option with the amplifier or purchased separately or you can assemble your own. Check with
your dealer for cable options for your transceiver.
h) Automatic antenna selector ACOM 2000S can be connected to the respective connector on
the RCU rear panel.
i) The ALC output of the amplifier normally remains unused. In case of need of ALC for your
transceiver, which we do not recommend, you may contact your dealer or see the TECHNICAL
SUPPLEMENT.
j) The connector on the amplifier rear panel, marked RS232 INTERFACE, remains unused
until you decide to use the amplifier with a computer or in a local network as described in the
TECHNICAL SUPPLEMENT.
Do not connect to the connector, marked RS-232 a "standard" cable because
this may result in damage in both - amplifier or connected equipment. In order
to use the RS-232 interface, a special cable must be prepared. Contact your
dealer or see TECHNICAL SUPPLEMENT for details.
k) Mains plug and fuses.
If your amplifier is only fitted with one mains fuse, it is suitable for
0-220/240 VAC electricity supplies ONLY (these supplies are standard in
the European Community). Your dealer will check that your amplifier is
correctly fused before it is shipped to you. Customers should check with
a qualified electrician if the amplifier is to be used outside the country
in which it was purchased.
Due to the different standards in different countries, the mains plug is supplied and mounted by
the dealer. He connects to the mains cord end a standard mains plug which meets the Safety
Class I units standard in your country. The ground lead of the amplifier's mains cord is colored
yellow with two green stripes and the blue and brown leads are active. When the amplifier is to
be used with only one mains fuse, it is connected in series with the brown lead which must be
the active. If you have any doubts about the correct way of connecting the wires, consult your
dealer. All amplifiers sold in the USA will have two fused leads.
l) Preparation of wall outlet for the amplifier.
