  • Page 19: Two-Wire Connection Using Ft630

    Hardware Configuration Two/Four-Wire Configuration The Major 4a/5a can be configured for 2-wire and 4-wire connection. Starting with software version 2.0 switching from 2-wire to 4-wire is done by programming register 051/4. Two-Wire Connection using FT630 Over longer distances the radio set can be controlled via a 2-wire line. If PTT is keyed at the Major, a DC voltage is applied to the line in addition to the audio signal.

    Connecting Major 4a/5a --> Two-Way-Radio via Multiwire All audio in/outputs of the Major 4a/5a are equipped with transformers and hence are potential-free. If no potential-free in/outputs are available at the radio, in both cases one of the audio connections has to be grounded, preferably by connecting pins 1 and 8 to GND pin 4. Switching from 2- to 4-wire is carried out by programming register 051/4.
