1 INSTALLATION
FIXED STATION INSTALLATION
When you use the transceiver at a fixed location, the transceiver requires 13.8 V DC power supply
(The TS-480HX requires 2 DC power supplies).
REMOTE CONTROL PANEL INSTALLATION
1 Attach the oval-shaped base to the front panel mounting bracket using two SEMS screws (M4 x 10 mm) as
shown below.
2 Slide the Remote Control panel along the mounting bracket rails until secure.
DC POWER SUPPLY CONNECTION
In order to use this transceiver, you need a separate 13.8 V DC power supply (two 13.8 V/ 20.5 A or single
13.8 V/ 41.0 A DC power supply(s) is required to transmit for the TS-480HX) that must be purchased separately.
Do not directly connect the transceiver to an AC outlet. Use the supplied DC power cables to connect the
transceiver to a regulated power supply. Do not substitute a cable with smaller gauge wires. The current capacity
of each power supply must be 20.5 A peak or more.
1 Connect the DC power cable(s) to the regulated DC power supply (two 13.8 V/ 20.5 A or single 13.8 V/ 41.0 A
DC power supply(s) must be used for the TS-480HX); the red lead to the positive terminal and the black lead to
the negative terminal.
When using a single 13.8 V/ 41 A DC power supply, connect 2 DC cables to the positive and negative
terminals, as shown on page 2.
2 Connect the DC power cable to the transceiver’s DC power connector.
Press the connectors firmly until the locking tab clicks.
Attach the line filter(s) to the DC cable(s) as shown below (E-type only).
Note:
Before connecting the DC power supply to the transceiver, be sure to switch OFF the DC power supply and the transceiver.
Do not plug the DC power supply into an AC outlet until you make all connections.
When two power supplies are used for the TS-480HX, the DC voltage difference at the transceiver DC IN connectors must be within 1.0 V DC.
Do not use different types (length and gauge) of DC cables to avoid voltage differences (TS-480HX).
