13.5SERIAL PORTS

Falcon 15 features up to four optoinsulated RS232 serial ports (port 3 and 4 are available as an option) which allow the remote control and RDS programming both through local - or remote PCs, UECP programmer, etc.

In particular, these connectors are for a local bidirectional computer connection when the BSN - Remote Control software is loaded onto a local computer. Connect a standard serial cable (not crossed) between the RS-232 connector and a serial port connector on the computer. Cable length must not exceed 10 mt.

The ports can be separately enabled / disabled via the menu. UECP protocol allows the user to assign different properties, data speed, acces to commands, etc to every port (see par. 12.6.1).

The four serial ports support Tx and Rx signals only. One serial cable comes with the unit.

13.6ANALOG AUDIO OUTPUT (Male XLR)

Balanced XLR-type connectors are used for output analog audio.

The stereo analog outputs are designed for standard 0 dBu (line- level) balanced signals. Output level setting is done using the software parameter settings (see par. 14.3).

XLR pinout:

Pin 1

Gnd

Pin 2

Signal

Pin 3

Return

In case of unbalanced connections, please connect the cold pole (Pin 3) to the ground (Pin 1).

The impedance is set to 600Ohm (electronically balanced).
