A120S In-Line Switch User Guide

GENERAL

The A120S Accessory in-Line Switch can be used to add an On/OFF, Push-To-Talk, Cough Button, or Transmit- ter-Relay Keying function to a microphone or other device rated at up to 3 amps ac (0.5 Adc) 125V, non-inductive load. The switch has gold-plated contacts for reliable perfor- mance even in low-current circuits. The switch is a double- pole double-throw type for maximum versatility. Its pushbut- ton combines with a rotary knob to provide either spring-return momentary or locking action.

The unit is supplied with a crimp-on strain relief tor 6.4mm (0.25-in.) diameter cable and with a flex relief for ei- ther large or small diameter cables. The permanently at- tached belt clip can be rotated on the case to any of four posi- tions for the most convenience in use.

SWITCH INSTALLATION AND WIRING

1.For thicker cable (e.g., one 6.4 mm [0.25 in.] diameter cable or two 3.8 mm [0.15 in.] diameter cables), cut off the bottom of the flex relief at the rib. For narrower cable (e.g., one 2.3 mm [0.39 in.] diameter cable), use the en- tire flex relief as supplied. Thread the cable (s) through the flex relief.

2.For one 6.4 mm diameter cable (0.25 in.), crimp the strain relief to the cable making sure the eyelet is to- ward the raw end of the cable. Leave enough raw cable above the strain relief to permit soldering the individual conductors to the switch terminals.

NOTE: For all other cables, loosely knot the cable above the flex relief to form a strain relief. Leave enough raw cable above the knot to permit soldering the individual conductors to the switch terminals.
