Model 1211 Dictaphone Back Plane
PCB
Technical Manual
P.N. 803881

1 Description:
The 1211 Dictaphone backplane PCB offers a quick connection solution for 3 slots of the 1211 type 10 card cage.
Up to 4 back planes can be installed on one 1211 card cage. The 1505 and 1360 cards I/O connections are
connected to a 25-pair Centronics style connector.
2 Theory of Operation:
Balanced audio pairs are applied to 1505 RX inputs on slots 1 and 3 of each 3-card group. The inputs are summed
and sent to TX output’s 1 and 3 and passed through a passive notch filter mounted on the 1360 card mounted in slot
number 2.
3 Installation:
Simply align the backplane PCB over 3 edge connectors, press into place and solder the wire wrap pins to the PCB.

4.2 Power connections
TB1 is provided for power buss connections from a +12Vdc source, TP connections are provided for parallel
connections between additional backplane PCB’s.
+12Vdc = TB1 pin 1, TP1 and TP11
Ground = TB1 pin 2, TP2 and TP12
Earth GND = TB1 pin 3, TP3 and TP13
