SECTION 4 - ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
1. General
The following section describes the wiring requirements and options for the installation of the
system. Because the system has so many features and options, it is recommended that the
installer take the time to read pin descriptions and all notes on wiring diagrams before designing
an installation.

Figure 4-1 Rear View of C-5000
2. Wiring Considerations
To simplify the systems design, follow the steps below:
Step 1: Determine the type and number of radios. The C-5000 can control one or two
transceiver systems. The word system is used because a Flexcomm I installation can be
made of multiple transceivers electrically daisy chained to make one system. Based on the
type of radio, chose the part number of C-5000 that applies to your application.
Step 2: Determine the type of antenna. For each transceiver, determine the appropriate
antenna. For Flexcomm I Transceivers, see the proper installation manuals for options. For
the RT-5000, the process begins by determining if the user needs optimum 30-88MHz
performance. If so, the recommended antenna system will be an “active” antenna (i.e. one
that is electrically tuned for maximum performance). If the user rarely uses 30-88 MHz, then
passive antenna is suggested. Passive antennas are less expensive and less complex to
install. Remember that performance in the 30-88 MHz frequency range is very degraded vs.
an active antenna.
Step 3: Microphone/Headset. If only one radio is installed, use the primary mic/headset
port. If two radios are installed, use primary mic/headset for transceiver system #1 and
secondary mic/headset for transceiver system #2. If only one mic/headset port is available on
the audio panel, use the primary mic/headset port and configure the C-5000 to operate in
“single mic mode”.

Step 4: Panel Lighting. Select the input pin on P500 for the desired backlighting. Options
are 28 Vdc (pin 30) or 5 Vdc/5vrms (pin 8).
Step 5: System Wiring. Based on steps 1-5, choose the wiring diagrams from this section
that apply to your configuration. Note that if you have two RT-5000’s in your system, copy the
wiring illustrated for P501 to P502. In other words, choose the wiring for each radio and apply
it to the appropriate connector.

Pin(s) - Signal Name
9, 29 - PRIMARY CARBON MIC HI/LO
These pins provide a 150 Ohm input impedance for the crew microphone input.
Standard Carbon Mic bias of 15V through 300 Ohms is provided. Standard
modulation of 1 kHz tone at 0.25 Vrms is factory set for ± 3 kHz deviation
although an adjust range of 30 mV to 1.5 Vrms is provided by A2R174 on the
system interface board.
18 - PRIMARY MIC PTT
This pin, when grounded, activates the transceiver system(s) selected for the
primary mic/headset interface.
Note: The primary mic LO and PTT should be connected together at the mic interface
(audio panel or mic jack). Alternately, the mic LO should be grounded at the mic
interface as mic bias is not provided unless mic LO is DC grounded.
39, 40 - PRIMARY HEADSET AUDIO HI/COMMON
The pins provide receive and sidetone audio output for the transceiver system(s)
selected for the primary mic/headset interface. Standard audio levels of 100 mW
into 600 Ohm load is provided for standard modulation although an adjustment
range of 0.5 to 200 mW is provided by A2R86 of the system interface board.
10, 17, 20, 41 - SECONDARY CARBON MIC HI/LO, SECONDARY HEADSET AUDIO HI
AND SECONDARY MIC PTT
These pins provide a similar interface as the primary counterparts with some
functional exceptions. Although levels and impedances provided are the same,
the secondary interface provides the limited function of talk and listen in clear,
non-encrypted audio. Features provided by the primary interface i.e. Selectable
audio routing through internal or external encryption systems integrated with the
C-5000 are not supported at the secondary interface.
11 – SHIELD
All shields of signals originating at the C-5000 and terminating at other
equipment should be connected to this pin and left unterminated at the other
equipment. Similarly, the shields of signals originating at other equipment and
terminating at the C-5000 should be grounded at the other equipment and left
unterminated at the C-5000.
43, 44 - A/C POWER GROUND AND 27.5 VDC A/C POWER
These pins provide aircraft 27.5 Vdc power to the C-5000 system. Typical
loading is approximately 350 mA, however with external loading by auxiliary
equipment connected to ±15 V and +5 V pins provided, the current requirement
can be 1.3 Amp at 27.5 Vdc and approach 2 Amps at low voltage. Appropriate
circuit breaker should be provided with consideration given to separately
powered radio equipment as part of the basic communications equipment being
controlled by the C-5000.

Pin(s) - Signal Name
8, 30, 50 - 28V, 5V, COMMON LITES
These pins provide for aircraft lite dimmer bus control of the keyboard lighting.
Either 28 Vdc, 5 Vrms or 5 Vdc lighting may be used. The C-5000 does not draw
power from the buss but simply monitors the voltage for proper lite tracking. Only
5 V or 28 V may be connected at once.
2, 24, 25, 45, 46, 47 - RS-422 TX HI/LO, RS-422 RX1 HI/LO, RS-422 RX2 HI/LO
These pins provide for a bi-directional digital data buss to other equipment on
board the aircraft. Two separate receive inputs are provided and the transmit pair
may be connected to multiple RS-422 devices. The receive shields should be
connected only at the originating equipment and the transmit shield should only
be connected to the C-5000 shield pin.
5, 6, 55 - INTERNAL CIPHER SEL A, B, C
Unavailable function.
14 - INTERNAL CIPHER DISABLE
This pin, when left unterminated, causes audio routing within the C-5000 to
include the Internal Cipher Interface. By grounding this pin, audio routing of the
following signals is to/from the external system interface for utilization with
External Encryption Equipment, auxiliary systems and functions generally used in
conjunction with military equipment. Associated signals routed to the External
Interface are:
Mic output, voice band transmit audio input, wideband transmit audio input,
wideband receive audio output, voice band receiver audio output, decoded/de-
encrypted voice band received audio input, guard receiver voice band audio
output.
This pin should normally be grounded unless an Internal Cipher module (or other
special module) is installed in the C-5000 and then it should be switched for
Internal or External routing of the "RT-X" signals.
36 - EXT CIPHER ACTIVE
This pin, when grounded, will automatically enable external encryption.

Pin(s) - Signal Name
3, 4 - XMT AUDIO IN HI/COMMON
This pair provides a voice band input to the transmitter(s) as selected by the
crew. Typical use is with external encryption equipment in which the mic input to
the C-5000 is routed out to the encryption unit and when the encryption unit is
not active, the mic input (voice band) is returned to this port for normal voice
transmit. Standard levels are 0.9 Vrms into 600 Ω, although A2R160 and A2JP3
provide adjustment range of approximately 40 mV (150 Ω) to 5.4 V (600Ω).
27 - AUX AUDIO IN HI
This port provides an auxiliary input to the headset audio amplifiers (primary and
secondary). It is not switched and all inputs to this port will appear at the
headset(s). Typical use is alert tones, progress tones, medical telemetry
equipment like Doppler Monitors, etc. Typical input level of 0.5 Vrms (5k Ohm)
will yield standard audio although A2R102 on the system interface board
provides an adjustment range of 0.33 to 7.75 Vrms.
35 - PLAIN/CIPHER SEL
This output provides control signals to external equipment for activating
encryption equipment. For normal operation, this output is an open circuit. An
active pull to ground is provided for encryption active.
12 - CIPHER/PLAIN SEL
This output is similar to Plain/Cipher, but is opposite polarity and provides a
ground for normal operation.
38 – RCV’NG EXT ENCRYP TEXT
This input, when grounded, indicates to the C-5000 computer that the external
encryption equipment at the system interface is receiving properly decoded and
encrypted text.
19 – XMT’NG EXT ENCRYP TEXT
When grounded, this input indicates to the C-5000 computer that the external
encryption equipment is active and is providing cipher text for wideband
modulation to the crew selected transmitter.
56 - PTT TO CIPHER
This pin provides a ground to repeat the mic input (primary only).

balanced mic output is a combination of Primary Mic Input, REXMT Audio In,
XMT Audio In and Internal Cipher Voice XMT Audio. The level is set for 0.25
Vrms for standard modulation. When external (or internal) encryption equipment
is connected to the system interface board, A2JP2 on the system interface board
is typically moved from "l to 2" to "2 to 3" and zero Ohm resistor A2R140 (system
interface board) is removed. With A2JP2 changed and A2R140 removed, the mic
out is only the buffered primary mic input. In addition, the primary mic input is
isolated from the rest of the C-5000 such that normal clear text voice modulation
must be routed from mic out Hi/Lo. In this configuration, the external encryption
equipment must be installed to complete the audio path from the primary mic
input to the selected transmitter(s). Jumpers from mic out Hi/Lo to XMT Audio In
Hi/Lo may be used temporarily when the external encryption equipment is
disconnected. Audio levels are typically 0.9 Vrms (600 Ω) although A2R170 on
the system interface board provides considerable adjustment range.
22 - GUARD PRECEDENCE IN
This pin, when grounded, disables nearly all of the C-5000 functions and
channels the system to a pre-stored precedence channel. The volume control is
functional. This mode is useful for an emergency mode in which all functions are
disabled except basic talk/listen on the pre-stored system precedence channel.
Normal operation is with this pin open circuited.
23 – BW CONTROL IN
Not to be used on new designs.

Unavailable function.
13 - RT-X GUARD AUDIO OUT
This pin provides the selected RT System Guard RCV Audio (voice band) signal
for use with external equipment. Typically the plain text guard audio is summed
with decoded main RCV audio and routed to the C-5000 for combined main
(recovered cipher) and guard (clear) to the headset. Standard levels are 2 Vrms
at low impedance, although A2R114 on the system interface board provides
adjustment range of 0.5 to 4 Vrms.
7 - REXMT AUDIO IN
This input provides an auxiliary voice band transmit audio input and is summed
with the primary mic audio. The receive audio from other equipment can be
routed to this port and in conjunction with the "PTT from Ext. Cipher" (an auxiliary
PTT input), a multi-system relay can be established. A level of 2 Vrms for
standard modulation is standard, although A2R167 on the system interface board
provides an adjustment range of 0.1 to 7.75 Vrms.
1 - RT-X REXMT AUDIO OUT
This pin provides a voice band receive audio output from the selected RT system
(1, 2 or 3). The audio is normal audio from the selected radio system and
includes both main and guard audio as well as sidetone during XMT. In
conjunction with REXMT control key out, (squelch activity from this system and
PTT input to other aircraft equipment) this signal may be used in a multi system
relay to provide receive audio from this system to transmit audio to other
equipment on board the aircraft.
Typical application with external encryption equipment connected to the system
interface utilizes this signal as clear text receive audio to be routed to, and
returned from, the external equipment in time of nonencrypted reception to the
RT-X Decoded Audio Input. The signal level is 2 Vrms for standard voice,
although A2R108 on the system board provides an adjustment range of 0.2 to
7.75 Vrms.

37 - RT-X WB MN RCV AUDIO OUT
This signal is a wideband received audio signal from the selected RT system (1,
2 or 3) main receiver. It is not squelch gated and typically is used with external
encryption equipment connected to the system interface. The standard level is 6
Vpp although A2R135 provides an adjustment range of 1.2 to 12 Vpp. The
Motorola encryption equipment requires 4 Vpp.
42 - EXT RT-X DECODED RCV AUDIO
This input is typically used with external encryption equipment connected to the
system interface. The signal is the decoded or de-encrypted voice band clear text
from the encryption system. By proper C-5000 system programming, this signal
can be routed directly as the selected RT system (1, 2 or 3) recovered audio or it
can be internally summed with the selected RT system guard audio, sidetone, or
both. In addition, the recovered audio can also be programmed to provide de-
emphasis if required. A level of 2 Vrms is standard, although A2R131 provides
an adjustment range of 0.25 to 7.75 Vrms.
61 - EXT RT-X WB XMT AUDIO
This input provides for wideband digital audio (encrypted or cipher text)
modulation input to the selected RT system (1, 2 or 3). Modulation level of 6Vpp
is standard, although A2R141 on the system interface board provides and
adjustment range of 1.2 to 12 Vpp.
