2. Connect the transmit pair to the terminals marked XMT.

Use only XMT pair for 2-wire operation.
Connecting the DTE
The rear-panel DTE connector provides interface for data input/output,
clock reference and control signal exchange between ASM-10/8 and the
DTE. The DTE connector is V.24/RS-232, D-type 25-pin female connector.
Connector pin allocations appear in Appendix A.
Connecting the Power
The power is supplied to the ASM-10/8 unit through the 1.5m (5 ft) standard
power cable terminated in a standard 3-prong plug. The cable is provided
with the unit.
The integral fuse holder, located above the AC socket, contains two fuses
(0.125A/250V or 0.25A/250V, slow-blow). The upper fuse is spare and can
be used for blown fuse replacement.
Warning
The unit has no power switch. Operation starts when the power is
applied to the rear-panel POWER connector.
Before switching on this instrument, the protective earth terminals of
this instrument must be connected to the protective ground conductor
of the power cord. The power plug shall only be inserted in a power
outlet provided with a protective earth contact. The protective action
must not be negated by use of an extension cord (power cable) without
a protective conductor (grounding).
Make sure that only fuses with the required rated current, as marked on
the ASM-10/8 rear panel, are used for replacement. The use of repaired
fuses and the short-circuiting of the fuse holders is forbidden.
Whenever it is likely that the protection offered by fuses has been
impaired, the instrument must be made inoperative and be secured
against any unintended operation.
