Page 9: Using Unbalanced Audio
Pin numbers refer to the plug numbering scheme. 2.2 Using unbalanced audio As the AADA416FR outputs are floating, it is possible to obtain up to 16 unbalanced audio outputs by wiring the RM17 or RM37 in the correct manner. An unbalanced output may be obtained by using either the +ve or –ve phase of the audio signal pair. -
Page 10: General Purpose Interface
Hardware installation 2.3 General purpose interface GPI outputs ‘a’ to ‘d’ use switch-closure to indicate AADA416FR status. When closed- circuit, the GPI line is connected to frame ground. As supplied, each GPI output has a 330Ohm resistor in series with its output. This allows for an external LED connected to a DC supply voltage of +5V. - Page 11 2 and +5V @500mA is pin 1 in each case. Remote 2 and remote 4 are 26-way high density D-Type male plugs and frame ground is pin 6 and +5V @500mA is pin 15 in each case. AADA416FR User Manual R1.9 22 May 2018...
