1. GENERAL INFORMATION
Congratulations on using one of ACOM solid-state amplifiers.
ACOM is pleased that you have chosen one of our products, and we will endeavor to provide you with the
information and support you need to enjoy your purchase for many years.
We urge you to read all of the following materials before you embark on operating your new amplifier.
Traditionally, the ACOM solid-state series amplifiers are named as nnnS or nnnnS, where nnn/nnnn is a
model number (for example ACOM 700S or ACOM 1200S).
All these amplifiers feature CAT (Computer Aided Transceiver) interface for connection to your transceiver.
In this document ACOM solid-state amplifiers are also called ACOM S-series hereafter.
1.1. Introduction and Description
This document includes information (wiring diagrams) for the CAT connection cables for ACOM S-series
amplifiers. This information will help you to assembly a right CAT cable to connect your ACOM S-series
amplifier to your particular transceiver.
Most of the modern transceivers can be connected by CAT to the ACOM S-series amplifiers. This will allow
the amplifier to track the transceiver frequency without any transmission and change the bands
automatically when in OPERATE mode.
ACOM S-series amplifiers will operate normally with CAT/AUX unconnected if your
transceiver has no such input.
ACOM S-series amplifiers require reliable CAT signal transmission between the amplifier and the
transceiver. A key role in this is played by the cable and connecting element technology employed.
When you assembled a CAT connection cable by yourself, please, use a cable and connectors according to
international and your local standards for trouble free operation.
1.2. Documentation Validity
This document refers to the ACOM S-series power amplifiers and describes the CAT interface connectivity
of all amplifiers produced till the publishing date of this manual.
This manual is valid till a new manual is issued.

1.3. To the Reader of this Manual
This document is written for the technically qualified users who will use the ACOM amplifier.
To ensure your safety in accordance with safety and security standards, read this manual carefully and
follow the steps described in it.
Everyone who will use the amplifier must read this manual, and follow the instructions in it, and other
accompanying ACOM documentation (see Section 1.4 Additional Documentation), and consider also the
appropriate safety precautions.
This document includes information on non-ACOM products, e.g., transceivers.
And because of that, it is the sole user's responsibility to check the correctness of the
information as well as to check the original documentation of his transceiver or other
equipment.
ACOM is not liable for non-ACOM information correctness or for another's actions and
whole responsibility shall be assumed by the user/doer.
Informational notes
Observe the informational notes provided in this manual to ensure reliable and efficient operation of the
amplifier. In this manual, you will find the following informational notes:
The information symbol highlights operating procedures or practices that may improve
equipment reliability and/or personnel performance, or to emphasize a concept.
The book symbol represents a cross reference to external documentation, e.g., other
ACOM manual.
NOTICE
These notes call attention to a procedure or instructions which, if not correctly
performed, could result in property damage or equipment damage not exclusively to
the amplifier but also to connected equipment.

BCD Band Data + Keying + Power On connection cable
This connection (interface) cable is applicable with other compatible transceivers.
NOTICE
The connection cable must be shielded.
Be careful not to swap the connectors, because they are of the same type.
NOTICE
The Band Data cables (either BCD or Voltage) must not be used if ACOM 04AT or 06AT
automatic antenna tuner and switch are part of the system.
Only serial CAT cables (either RS-232 or TTL) can be used in such a case.
* Earlier K3 may require external Pull-up resistors to 5 V on lines 3, 9, 13, and 14
(transceiver connector side), typically 2.2÷10 kOhm (before Ser.N. 2370), after Dec. 10,
2008, Rev B KIO3 Digital Board.
