General Features The new line interface FT634a is completely constructed in SMD-technology. The connections are pin-compatible with the former version, but instead of male connectors there are female connectors. The line interface is used to remotely operate a two-way radio by a 2- or 4-wire connection. It is possible to bridge very long distances depending on the cable attenuation.

Channel switching Remote switching of channels is achieved by transmitting certain 5-tone sequences. The interface to the two-way radio device is parallel. The channel switching status output can be "binary", "binary-1", "decimal" and "2xBCD". The channel output can be inverted if necessary. Option line monitoring The operating mode line monitoring can be configured for the FT634aCL.

Examples Depending on the setup of the radio installation different versions of the FT634a can be used. The following questions should be answered when planning: - Interface connection of the FT634a to an operation terminal or a two-way radio set - Remote channel switching necessary - Line monitoring necessary - 2- or 4-wire connection, simplex or duplex...

Jumper Different configurations can be adjusted with the internal jumpers . For example you can choose between 2- or 4-wire connections. The functions of the different jumpers are printed directly onto the circuit board. Jumper setting normal, 2D, Zr, AC (ex factory) = 2 wire = 4 wire = complex impedance...
