Page 11: Supply Voltage And Fuse
Use a calibrated torque wrench to tighten all RF connections. Based on selected options, a typical Model 8512 Series Switch Unit can contain up to 14 SP6T switches on the front or rear panels and support SMA connections. Connectors are per MILSTD-348 interface dimensions and mate nondestructively per MIL-STD-212. -
Page 12: Remote Operation
MANUAL IM635 4. Remote Operation 4.1. RS-232 Serial The RS232 port is available on a DE9M connector and utilizes three signals: TXD, RXD and GND along with the optional RTS and CTS handshaking signals. The connector pinout is configured as a DTE device, so connections to an external DTE device (such as a PC) would require the use of a null-modem cable. -
