Install thecircuit breaker in the aircraft breaker panel or instrumentpanel to ensure easy access during flight.• GroundConnect the transceiver power ground to the airframeground.• JumpersPins 11, M, P and 13 MUST be jumped together with AWG#20 wires or thicker.DD Yoke-mounted channel and frequency exchangeswitchesNOTE: Channel and frequency selections are available withthe Molex connection only.For the yoke-mounted channel switch and frequency ex-change switch, use a 2-position spring loaded rocker switchor 2 separate momentary push switches.DD Transmit/receive interlock connectionsWhen 2 transceivers are installed and both communicationantennas are top mounted, pin N MUST be connected to pin9 of each another transceiver.DD Audio line connectionsUse #24 AWG wires for connections.A EC D P R S1 54H7 8 9 10 15For Molex (Front view)For D-sub 15-pin (Front view)A EC D P R S1 54H J7 8 9 151 4 6 7 89 14 1513121 4 6 7 89 13 144 Ω speaker4 ΩspeakerHeadphone jack 1(to 500 Ω Headphones)Headphone jack 1(to 500 Ω Headphones)To auxiliary audio 1To auxiliary audio 2To auxiliary audio 3 Audio control panelHeadphone jack 2microphoneJack 1microphoneJack 2To PTT switchTo Intercom switchHeadphone jack 24 Ω speakerHeadphone jack(to 500 Ω Headphones)To auxiliary audio 1To auxiliary audio 2To auxiliary audio 3 Audio control panelmicrophoneJackTo PTT switchTo PTT switchTo Intercom switch4 ΩspeakerHeadphone jack(to 500 Ω Headphones)To PTT switchmicrophoneJack• Two places with intercom• One place• One place• Two places with intercomKJ3microphoneJack 1microphoneJack 2A S1L12 15ORA S1L12 15A F M P R S1 6 11 13 14 15For Molex (Front view)For D-sub 15-pin (Front view)1 89 15JumpersCircuitbreaker(10 A)+13.8 V DCor 27.5 V DCCircuitbreaker(10 A)+13.8 V DCor 27.5 V DCPower ground_Power ground_n CABLE CONNECTIONSEither intercom or yoke-mounted channel/frequency ex-change switch can only be installed. Both switches cannotbe installed at the same time.When installing the IC-A210/A210E into your aircraft, etc.,with another connection system using D-sub 15-pin connec-tor, use the supplied MB-113 as described below.DD Attachmentq Unscrew the 10 bottom screws, then remove the bottomcover from the transceiver.w Unscrew the 5 rear plate screws.e Disconnect the I/O cable connectors and coaxial, J3, J4and J6, then remove the rear plate from the transceiver.r Connect the I/O cable connectors and coaxial onto theMB-113 as illustrated below.t Attach the MB-113 to the transceiver with the 5 rear platescrews.y Replace the removed bottom cover and 10 screws.IC-A210MB-113IC-A210PlateJ6J4J3b USING THE MB-113DD Miscellaneous itemsThe following items are required for installation but are NOTsupplied with the IC-A210/A210E.q VHF air band antenna for the communication band.w Cables.e Antenna cable with BNC connector (50 Ω).r Switches are mounted on the aircraft yoke.t Headphones (500 Ω).y Low-impedance carbon or dynamic microphone.u Preamplifier for a dynamic microphone.DD Transceiver locationSelect a location which can support the weight of the trans-ceiver.NEVER place the transceiver where normal navigation of theaircraft may be hindered or where it could cause bodily in-jury.NEVER bend the cables sharply or place the cables too nearthe aircraft control cables.DO NOT place the transceiver where hot or cold air blows di-rectly on it.AVOID placing the transceiver in areas with temperaturesbelow –20˚C or above +55˚C (–4˚F to +131˚F).DD Battery connectionNEVER connect the transceiver to a power source using re-verse polarity. Reverse polarity will damage the transceiver.To prevent voltage drops, solder or crimp the cable lug whenconnecting the DC power cable to the power supply.DD AntennaNEVER install an antenna near any aircraft projection, en-gine or propeller.Use a 50 Ω, vertically-polarized, VHF air band antenna.VSWR should be less than 2.5:1.Mount the antenna on an flat metal surface or install a groundplane of at least 120 cm 2 (18 in 2).DD IntercomThe intercom function is enabled by wiring and installing ayoke-mounted communications/intercom switch.This function facilitates swift contact between the pilot andco-pilot. 2-pairs of headphones and microphones are re-quired for pilot and co-pilot.DD InterlockWhen 2 transceivers are installed in your aircraft, wiring for atransmit/receive interlock is required.To protect the receiver circuit from extremely strong incom-ing signals, this function prevents receiving while anothertransceiver is transmitting.DD COMM1 and COMM2 stickersWhen 2 transceivers are installed, to distinguish them from oneanother, attach the supplied COMM1 and COMM2 stickers.COMMCOMM1 or COMM2 stickerv PRECAUTIONSDD Molex connectorDD D-sub 15-pinFront view1 2 3 4 5 6 7 89 10 11 12 13 14 15*Ground to activate.Pin12345Pin678910Pin1112131415Aircraft power + (13.8/27.5 V)No connection (reserved)RS-232 Serial data + (TXD)PTT +*Auxiliary audio +External speaker + (4 Ω/5 W)Microphone _Microphone 1 + (600 Ω)Aircraft power _RS-232 Serial data + (RXD)RS-232 Serial data _Intercom select switch*External speaker and headphones _Headphones audio + (500 Ω/60 mW)Microphone 2 + (600 Ω)I/OIn–OutInInI/OOutInInInInI/OI/OInOutOutInDescription Description Description*Ground to activate.A B C D E F H J K L M N P R S1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15Supplied polarizing keyFront viewPinABCDEFHJKLPinMNPRS12345Pin6789101112131415No connectionNo connectionAuxiliary audio 2 +Auxiliary audio 1 +External speaker + (4 Ω/5 W)Aircraft power _Headphones audio + (500 Ω/60 mW)Microphone 1+ (600 Ω)Microphone 2+ (600 Ω)Memory channel switch*+13.8 V power +Transmit/receive interlockNo connectionAircraft power + (13.8/27.5 V)Aircraft power _No connectionNo connectionAuxiliary audio 3 +Auxiliary audio 1, 2, 3 _External speaker _Aircraft power _Headphones audio _Mic., Inetrcom mic. and PTT _PTT +*Intercom switch*+13.8 V power +Frequency exchange switch*No connectionAircraft power + (13.8/27.5 V)Aircraft power _I/O––InInOutInOutInInInI/OIn––InIn––InInInI/OInOutInInInInIn–InInDescription Description Descriptionm CONNECTOR INFORMATION
