Page 10 FT-410 OperaTiOn ManualinsTallaTiOncoNNectioN of ANteNNA ANd power SupplyThe FT-410 is designed for use with any antenna system providing a 50 Ohm resistive impedance at the desired operating frequency. Every effort should be made to ensure the impedance of the antenna system is as close as possible to the specied 50-Ohm value. Note that the “G5RV” type antenna does not provide 50-Ohm impedance on all HF Amateur bands, and an external wide-range antenna coupler must be used with this antenna type.Any antenna to be used with the FT-410 must, ultimately, be fed with 50 Ohm coaxial cable. Therefore, when using a “balanced” antenna such as a dipole, remember that a balun or other matching/balancing device must be used to ensure proper antenna performance. Warning!The 100V RF voltage (@100 W/50 Ω) is applied to the TX RF section of the transciver while transmitting.Do not touch the TX RF section absolutely while transmitting.CAUTIONPermanent damage can result if improper supply voltage, or reverse-polarity voltage, is applied to the FT-410. The Limited Warranty on this transceiver does not cover damage caused by application of AC voltage, reversed polarity DC, or DC voltage outside the specied range of 13.8V ±15%. When replacing fuses, be certain to use a fuse of the proper rating. The FT-410 requires a 25A fast-blow fuse.AC Power SupplyFT-410A0 5 20 30 40PO WE RONOF FRED BLACKFUSE: 25AV0 5 10 15 20ANNTENAApplication for FCC / IC FCC ID: K6620621X50 IC: 511B-20621X50

Page 12 FT-410 OperaTiOn ManualGrouNdiNGThe FT-410 transceiver, like any other HF communications apparatus, requires an effective ground system for maximum electrical safety and best communications effectiveness. A good ground system can contribute to station efciency in a number of ways: It can minimize the possibility of electrical shock to the operator. It can minimize RF currents owing on the shield of the coaxial cable and the chassis of the transceiv-er. Such currents may lead to radiation, which can cause interference to home entertainment devices or laboratory test equipment.It can minimize the possibility of erratic transceiver/accessory operation caused by RF feedback and/or improper current ow through logic devices.An effective earth ground system may take several forms. For a more complete discussion, see an appropriate RF engineering text. The information below is intended only as a guideline.Typically, the ground connection consists of one or more copper-clad steel rods, driven into the ground. If multiple ground rods are used, they should be positioned in a “V” conguration, and bonded together at the apex of the “V” which is nearest the station location. Use a heavy, braided cable (such as the discarded shield from type RG-213 coaxial cable) and strong cable clamps to secure the braided cable(s) to the ground rods. Be sure to weatherproof the connections to ensure many years of reliable service. Use the same type of heavy, braided cable for the connections to the station ground bus (described below).Inside of the station, a common ground bus consisting of a copper pipe of at least 25 mm (1”) diameter should be used. An alternative station ground bus may consist of a wide copper plate (single-sided circuit board material is ideal) secured to the bottom of the operating desk. Grounding connections from individual devices such as transceivers, power supplies, and data communications devices (TNCs, etc.) should be made directly to the ground bus using a heavy, braided cable.Do not make ground connections from one electrical device to another, and thence to the ground bus. This so-called “Daisy-Chain” grounding technique may nullify any attempt at effective radio frequency grounding. See the drawing at the right for examples of proper grounding techniques.Inspect the ground system - inside the station as well as outside - on a regular basis so as to ensure maximum performance and safety.Besides following the above guidelines carefully, note that household or industrial gas lines must never be used in an attempt to establish an electrical ground. Cold water pipes may, in some instances, help in the grounding effort, but gas lines represent a signicant explosion hazard, and must never be used.insTallaTiOnproper GrouNd coNNectioNimproper GrouNd coNNectioNApplication for FCC / IC FCC ID: K6620621X50 IC: 511B-20621X50

If you plan on using multiple linear ampliers for different bands, you must provide external band-switching of the “Lin Tx” relay control line from the “TX GND OUT” line at the LINEAR jack.Important Note!Do not exceed the maximum voltage or current ratings for the “TX GND OUT” line at the LINEAR jack. This line is not compatible with negative DC voltages, nor AC voltages of any magnitude.Most amplier control relay systems require only low DC voltage/current switching capability (typically, +12V DC at 25 ~ 75 mA), and the switching transistor in the FT-410 will easily accommodate such ampliers.Wire ColorOrangeYellowGreenRedWhiteBlueVioletBrownBlackGrayLight BlueLINEA Jack (Pin Number)12345678910CaseFunction+13.8 VTX GND OUTGNDBAND DATA ABAND DATA BBAND DATA CBAND DATA DTX INHEXT ALC INTX REQ INShieldLinear Amplier Connection Cable (SCU-28)Color Code InformationApplication for FCC / IC FCC ID: K6620621X50 IC: 511B-20621X50
