- 2 - Thank you for purchasing the CU8232 computer control interface for the AR8000 receiver. Every effort has been made to make this manual correct and up to date. Due to continuous development of the product and by error or omission anomalies may be found and these are acknowledged. Most apparent faults are usually due to accidental mis-operation of the product, carefully read all of the manual and relevant sections in the AR8000 operating manual before deciding to return the interface for repair....

- 3 - (1) General The CU8232 interface allows computer control via the RS232 serial port of a computer. An additional piece of software will usually be required in order to address the computer’s serial port with the correct set of parameters. If using an IBM-PC or clone (with 80386 processor or higher) Microsoft WINDOWS “TERMINAL” may be used to address the computer’s serial port, configuration of “TERMINAL” is covered later in this manual. In order to gain the greatest flexibility, a specialist...

It may be difficult to insert the flat cable into the CU8232 socket for the first time
as they are necessarily quite tight. If this is the case, try inserting with a little
upward pressure, it should become easier the next time. DO NOT APPLY
EXCESSIVE STRESS TO THE FLAT CABLE UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES.
A DC voltage is fed to the CU8232 by the AR8000 connected to the [PROGRAM]
socket. When the receiver is switched On, the AR8000 DATA is routed to the
RS232 connector.

due to incorrect connections or an error in key sequence.

Connect the AR8000 to the [PROGRAM] socket of the CU8232 as outlined earlier
in section (3) and figure 1.
Connection to a computer is via the rear panel RS232C 9-pin “D” type female
socket. Should you require a male socket then a 9-pin gender changer is
supplied in the package. Should you prefer to use a 25-way “D” type female
socket, an adaptor is also supplied as standard.
