7  SPECIFICATIONS 7.4.20 Carrier Operated Switch Output 
7.4.19  Channel Select Input/Output 
Coding:  
8 lines BCD coded 00-99 
Logic Input Levels:   
0 = <0.4 Volts 
1 = >3.5 Volts 
Internal 10K pull down resistors selects Channel 00 when all inputs are O/C. 
7.4.20  Carrier Operated Switch Output 
Floating Opto-Coupler Output: 
The carrier operated switch output is via an opto-coupler. Collector and emitter 
connections are available to allow connection for source or sink. 
The opto-coupler can be linked inside the receiver to be ON when a carrier is 
detected or to be ON in the absence of carrier. 
Connection to Remote Switch via 600Ω Line: 
Internal connections are provided so that the opto-coupler can be connected to the 
600Ω line for use over a single pair. This permits remote switching with no extra 
connections. 
Current Source/Sink, Collector Voltage: 
The COS output is implemented with an optocoupler whose ratings are: 
Ic = 10mA   or 20mA Maximum 
Vc = 30 Volts    15 V Maximum 
7.4.21  CTCSS 
The CTCSS decoding is provided by a hybrid module. This provides programmable 
decoding of all 38 EIA and 12 other common tones. Refer to table 4.
