2-1 Connection with the power supply
Where possible, use the supplied AC/DC power unit. Make sure the main switch of the SDU5600 is
in the OFF position before connecting the power supply.
2-2 Connection with the receiver
This hand book is compiled mainly referring to the AR5000A series receiver as the principal
companion receiver. Any reference to other types of receiver will be made separately when and
where necessary.
Make sure that both the SDU5600 and AR5000A are switched off. Perform the connection of the
both units referring to the photo shown here, using the IF signal connection patch lead and RX serial
connection lead. The following table shows the correct connection of each plug & socket.
AR5000A SDU5600
IF signal patch lead IF OUT RF IN
RX serial lead REMOTE RX CTR
If you wish to use a receiver other than the AR5000A
proceed to connect the 10.7MHz IF output from the
receiver to the RF IN BNC socket on the rear of the
SDU5600... the AR3000A will require a modifica-
tion in order to provide a suitable signal. Connect
the RS232 data lead from the receiver to the RX
CTR socket of the SDU5600, the companion
receiver ‘thinks’ it is communicating with a
computer, but is actually communicating
with the SDU5600 (the ICOM ICR7100
requires the optional ICOM CT17
CIV/RS232 interface).
