Page 25: Pa Audio Port
The Diagnostics pin is diode protected so that voltages above +5VDC are blocked from damaging the RXC-3080. The diagnostic input serves to tell the RXC-3080 that the amplifier is working properly. A low voltage on this pin indicates that the amplifier is ok. A high voltage on this pin indicates that the amplifier either has a problem or is not connected. -
Page 26: Pinout And Characteristics Of 600 Ohm Audio Port (J12)
Pinout And Characteristics Of 600 Ohm Audio Port (J12) The 600 Ohm audio port is used to connect the audio from the RXC-3080 to a PA system such as the type used in a school, fire station or office building. Most of these systems have audio inputs that are rated as 600 Ohms of balanced audio (600 ohms between the audio wires and no ground reference). - Page 27 RXC-3080 Hardware Installation and User Guide 7.5A Fuse Amplifier Pin 1 Pin 9 Pin 10 Pin 2 Amplifier Pinout 12 DC power is supplied to the amplifier via connecter J12. Control and audio arrives to the amplifier via a ribbon cable from J11 on the motherboard to J1 on the amplifier. J2 and J3 connect to individual speakers that need to be between 6 Ohms and 11 Ohms impedance.
