2.5.5 Prime Power (J5)

The AC power is supplied to the RFT by a 3-pin power connector. Normal input voltage
is 90 to 232 VAC, 47 to 63 Hz. The AC pinout is as follows:

Pin #

C GND

Ground Green/yellow


Maximum power consumption depends on the power amplifier used in the RFT. The
following is a list of the maximum power consumption at each configuration:

5W 200W
8W 250W

16W 450W


A circular 4-pin power connector is used for the DC (48 VDC) option. The pinout is as
follows:

2.5.6 Serial Remote Control (J6)

The remote connector on the RFT is used to interface the M&C functions to a remote
location. This interface can be either RS-232 or RS-485.

When using an RS-485 interface, the transmit and receive signals are able to
accommodate either type of remote equipment pinouts. As long as the polarities of the
remote equipment TX and RX signals are correct, this remote interface will be
completely compatible.

Refer to Table 2-2 for a list of pinouts for the J6 connector.

For standard RS-232 or RS-485 applications, an adapter cable must be used to connect
the 26-pin connector (J6) to a standard 9-pin D.

Refer to Figure 2-2 for an illustration of the adapter cable with its pinouts.
