RC3000 Antenna Controller Chapter 2 Installation

2.2 Electrical Connections

This section provides cabling requirements for interfacing to the RC3000. Note that cables should be made long enough to allow the unit to be open while still connected to the system.

The following sections supply a schedule of connection requirements. Note that the pinout requirements for J1, J3, J6, J7 and J10 are the same as required for RC8097 installations and therefore should not require rework of those cables for retrofitting to the RC3000. The following diagram shows the typical location of the backpanel connectors on original (serial # < 2000) controllers.

Second Generation RC3000s (serial # > 2000) have a slightly different connector arrangement. For example, rather than having a single DB-37 for navigation sensors, the second generation controllers have individual DB-9s for each sensor. Any differences between original and second generation connectors will be described in the following paragraphs.

Also, some versions of the RC3000 have customized backpanels to accommodate existing antenna connector schemes.

See appendix B for your exact backpanel configuration.
