+5V*1

In: External command reception active flow (operates at 30 ms or longer of ground)

Out: transport status by open collector

Indication signal (maximum voltage 15 V, maximum current 50 mA)

*1 Maximum supplied current is 50 mA.

*2 Pin 14 (Remote Select)

When this pin is high, the input pins for which the above table lists two commands separated by a “/” (pins 2–6 and 15–19) will perform the first-listed function, and can be used as conventional parallel controllers.

When this pin is low, the above-listed input pins will function as flash start keys.

*3 Pin 20 (Flash Page)

When pin 14 (Remote Select) is low, the assigned tracks will be as follows according to the high/low state of pin 20.

Tall signals are open collector, with a maximum current of 50 mA. Input signals are active when low (ground) for ≥ 30 ms.

A fader start/stop control should be wired according to the following schematic:
