2.2 Wiring
For installation of the EB200 in a rack there is connector X13 available for connecting the antenna
(antenna connector can be internally selected).
The external speaker output is activated by setting an internal jumper which automatically sets the
internal speaker out of order.

4052.2000.02 2.3 E-7.1
2.3 Pin assignment of the connectors
For the pin assignment of the connectors refer to interface description 4052.2000.01 SB in the annex.
2.4 Operation with Battery Pack EB200BP
The battery pack incorporates two 12V nickel metal hydride accumulators Energizer NJ1020.
It can be charged via incorporated power supply input or via connector DCX1 at the rear panel of the
EB200, while the unit is on or off. The accumulators are charged one after another.
Before starting operation, the state of the accumulators must be checked by pressing 2. If required, the
accumulators must be charged.
If the accumulators are charged, the LEDs 25, 50, 75 and 100 are on after pressing 2 indicating the
existing capacity.
If the accumulators are discharged the LED at 25 is flashing after pressing 2.
If the accumulators are over-discharged, all LEDs remain off after pressing 2. This is indicated in the
menu SETUP POWER by NOT FIT.
Over-discharged accumulators can only be charged when the
EB200 is switched off or directly via the connector at the battery
pack (1).
If charging doesn’t take place (after a charging period of 1 hour
there is no capacity change being indicated after pressing 2) the
accumulators must be taken out and put in again by exchanging
positions.
Note:
If the unit can’t be operated despite max. capacity being indicated
there can be an erroneous reaction of the accumulator controller.
Possible remedy: The accumulators must be taken out and put in
again by exchanging positions.
Operation with only one accumulator is also possible.
Charging can only take place at a temperature range of 0°C to +45°C.
Charge voltage range : +22V to +26V
Discharge temperature range : −10°C to +55°C
Storage temperature range : −20°C to +55°C
Self discharge increases heavily with higher storage temperatures.
The SETUP POWER menu shows the dc power supply source of the EB200 with the status of the
accumulator and the remaining operating time of the battery pack at the actual power consumption
under the total capacity of accumulator 1 and 2.
The displayed accumulator status might not be accurate if partly discharged accumulators are charged
several times. The correct accumulator status is displayed only when the accumulators were
discharged and charged completely.

There is also an automatic time-off that can be set so that the illumination switches off after a certain
period of time (DISPLAY CONFIG menu). It switches on again when the EB200 is operated via front
panel.
2.5 Operation in a vehicle
Operation of the EB200 in a vehicle is only permitted with the 12 V-to-24 V adapter.
2.6 Image of the Display in the Internet Browser
The display of the EB200 can appear in the Internet Browser via LAN.
For this purpose EB200 and personal computer must be connected through the same network.
•Enter the LAN address of the EB200 (see also 3.18.6.6REMOTE (remote control)) and additionally
:81 into the address field of the Browser. The image of the EB200 display appears in the Browser.

3.3 Display
Fig. 3-2: Display
Working area
The working area can be expanded for certain, display-intensive menus or for panorama displays, but
the direct-function fields, the VAR potentiometer functions and the display area for the spinwheel
functions will be partially or completely obscured.
Direct functions
The currently selected state of each key function (except softkeys) is displayed in an LCD window next
to or below the key in question.
VAR pot functions
At the top of the display, there are three fields for the MGC, SQU and TONE functions. Their values can
be adjusted with the digital VAR potentiometer.
Spinwheel functions
In the upper right hand corner of the display, there is a field in which the current function of the
spinwheel (FRQ, MEM, LOCK) is displayed. If in a submenu for configuring a parameter, the spinwheel
function is set to this parameter, the short designation or the symbol for this parameter (eg T_DWELL,
T_NOSIG, CYCLES etc) is displayed in this field.
Softkey area
The six fields that provide the labelling for the softkeys below are provided for every menu status.
The softkey bar may be temporarily obscured by status and error messages.
