I know some (ALL?) of you folks know a lot more about this than I do, and rather than take a chance of frying something, I'm going to ask here.
I am hooking up several of the AeroElectric dimmer boards units Bob used to sell on the AEC site to my panel, (Now B&C sells them as DIM15-14's) and one of them is to be used for dimming the internal lighting on my MAC 1700 (Really a KX-170A) radio, and a King KT-76 transponder.
I want to make sure I get the hookups right. I hate letting the smoke out of expensive "stuff".
On the pre-wired harness I bought (years ago) with the NavCom, it had one wire labeled "Lighting" and another yellow wire labeled "Dimmer".
I don't want to just start trying things, so can any of you tell me which of those wires I need to hook to the output of the dimmer unit?
Does one of these wires from the radio go to +14VDC, and the other to the dimmer board output?
I have tested the dimmers and they work fine with light bulbs, etc., but I don't want to fry anything internally in the radio(s).
Thanks in advance.
