REMOTE
REM (22) is a latching switch to start and stop a tape recorder fitted with a remote
stop/start function. Via a DIL switch on the right-hand PCB, it can be arranged for
each recording to be 'topped and tailed' with a marker, ie a few seconds of
low-frequency tone. To INHIBIT the marker tone, set DIL switch to the left.
(Refer to FIG 13)
The remote stop/start facility is accessed via the ‘D’ connector - SUB 1:
Pin 3 normally closed
Pin 4 common
Pin 5 normally open
Some recorders require a pair of contacts to be opened - in which case use pins 4 &
3, and some require a pair of contacts to be closed - in which case use pins 4 & 5.
NOTE
1 A common timing circuit is used for interrupted line-up tone and remote marker-
tone. It is recommended, therefore, that the interrupt button, INT (14), is not
operated during recording.
2 Care should be taken when wiring the REMOTE at the ‘D’ connector. There are
two conventions in use - one for the common wire type, the other for IDC.
Refer to connection details on page 34.
