Connecting to the contact control interface

The S has 8 macro contact inputs. A macro contact input is an ON/OFF
TELLAR
switch controlled to execute a series of programmed commands.
For each of the eight inputs, you can record two macros - one for execution on con-
tact open, and one on contact closed, giving a total of 16 macros.
Example: As an example, switching between two contacts could be used to switch
between decoding audio channel 1 and channel 2.
Connect the external contact control equipment to the contact control connector.
External control equipment could be an I/O box or a control panel.
For an example of how to set up a macro, see
The contact control feature overrides both local control and remote control. The
event of contact control is recorded in a message sent to ROSA.

(female). The following table shows the connector and the pin allocation.
