Installation

Some familiarity with the various menus functions of the Icom IC-7000 is required. If you don’t know what they

are, please refer to the Icom IC-7000 Owner’s Manual. Where applicable, page numbers have been listed for your

convenience. You might want to check off each item as it is completed.

Turn on the Icom IC-7000 and push the AF button momentarily. This places the IC-7000 in Setup mode. Push the

F-4 (OTH) button. Use the F-1 and F-2 buttons to select menu item #18 (PTT Start). Make sure it is set to OFF.

Use the F-1 and F-2 buttons to select menu item #48 (CI-V Baud Rate). Make sure it is set to AUTO. Use the F-1

and F-2 buttons to select menu item #49 (CI-V Address). Make sure it is set to 70h. Once the values are set, push

the AF button twice to return normal operation. These functions are explained on page 120, 131 and 136 of the

Icom IC-7000 Owner’s Manual. Please note: If the values are not set to OFF-AUTO-70h respectively, the TC/SC

will not function!

During programming of the TC/SC, it is necessary to view the SWR readout of the IC-7000. Here is how this is

done. Turn on the IC-7000. Press the MENU button for one second several times until the S submenu appears.

Press the F-3 (MET) momentarily until the SWR meter is displayed. You may return to any previous menu if

desired. This function is explained on page 36 of the Icom IC-7000 Owner’s Manual.

Make sure the IC-7000 is turned off. Plug the short 3.5 mm jumper cable into the CI-V port on the IC-7000. It is

labeled #5 on the diagram of the IC-7000 Owner’s Manual, on page 11. Next, plug in the TUNE CONTROL into

Tuner port on the rear apron of the IC-7000. Next, plug in the the other end of the short 3.5 mm jumper cable into

the bottom port on the TUNE CONTROL. Make sure the jumper cable is properly seated in both the IC-7000 and

the TUNE CONTOL. If it is not properly seated, the TC/SC will not work correctly.

The next step is to interconnect the TUNE CONTROL and the SCREWDRIVER CONTROL. Please make sure

the IC-7000 is turned off during this operation. Be advised, the stereo cable between the units supplies operating

power to the SCREWDRIVER CONTROL. Accidentally shorting this cable to ground could damage the TUNE

CONTROL.

Plug the 2.5 mm stereo cable into the SCREWDRIVER CONTROL. Make sure the cable is fully seated. Then plug

in the other end to the TUNE CONTROL. Please make sure the cable is fully seated. If an extension is needed, be

certain to use a shielded, stereo cable, such as Mouser Part Number 172-2535, or equivalent.

The TC/SC gets all of its logic power from the IC-7000. However, the IC-7000 cannot supply more than one amp

total from its accessory ports. Therefore, power for the antenna’s motor must be supplied by a separate, 3 amp,

fused, circuit. This is the user’s responsibility.

The ground side of the power cord (it has a spade lug already attached) must be connected directly to the chassis of

the IC-7000 using the grounding lug on the rear apron (see diagram on page 11 of the IC-7000 Owner’s Manual).

This is done to assure that the stall current is properly detected during Setup and operation. Failure to do so will

cause erratic behavior.

The power lead plugs into the port labeled +13.8 volts. Please use caution when doing so. If you attempt to force

the power lead, into the Motor port, the fuse could blow, and possibly damage the motor relays.

The supplied motor cable has a white, dashed line down one of the conductors. This lead is the center pin of the

connector. The dashed lead (center pin) should be connected to the antenna’s red motor lead. If you’re using a HiQ

antenna, connect the dashed lead (center pin) to the antenna’s black motor lead. The motor lead plugs into the port

labeled Motor.

The motion of the antenna should be checked before normal operation. If you get the wiring wrong, the direction of

travel is easily reset during Setup procedure.

The port labeled Amp, is a set of normally closed (NC) and normally open (NO) relay contacts. They’re used to

disable any amplifier during the tuning process. Typically, only the NC contacts will be used (left position of the

three pin jack). When tuning is in operation, the NC contacts open, removing the PTT from the amplifier. The

contacts are capable of handling up to 1 amp of current at 120 volts.
