Preparations of TS-480 for remote control (mode=5)
 
All necessary signals between the panel and the radio is connected thru the 6 wire cable between the control panel and the radio. We just need  to cut it apart and connect a RRC-1258 in each end. The following signals is represented in the cable. Very convenient is that the speaker is already present on the back of the control panel so there is no need for a extra speaker.

Please be aware of that the Kenwood numbering of the connectors are the opposite of what we use in the computer networks.

6-pol Modular

1. AF - Audio to speaker.
2. TDO - serial data 57600 bps from panel to radio
3. RDO - serial data 57600 bps from radio to panel
4. GND
5. 8V power to control panel ( always present)
6. SPK GND- Speaker ground

As you can see the Mic signal is not present in the cable above. Because of that we have due make a splitted cable and connect the Mic direct to the RRC-1258. On the remote site you also have to make a splitted cable, connected from the RRC to the Panel jack and to the Mic jack.

Please be aware of that the Kenwood numbering of the connectors are the opposite of what we use in the computer networks.

8-pol Modular

3. MICE - Mic ground
4. MIC- Mic Signal
5. PTT
6. GND PTT

To make a more permanent installation it's possible to mount a 8 pin circular mic connector on the front of the RRC.

Attention! Always check for updated drawings before starting to make cables
