Connections between cabinets are made through N‐Bulkhead connectors located on the top of each cabinet. All programming and adjusting is done through the software and this manual primarily deals with this topic. The computer running the software is connected via an RS232 serial cable to each channel card in the manner shown below. 50289‐BA‐8‐PA ‐4‐ MAIN SCREEN Below is the main working screen used to configure the channel card settings. The primary fields addressed are: • Communication Connection • Time Out Timer • Mode Setting • Key On Delay • Key Off Delay • Attenuation • Setting a Frequency 50289‐BA‐8‐PA ‐5‐ COMMUNICATION CONNECTION This software automatically checks the condition of its communication with the intended channel. Each message is acknowledged and displayed in the message box at the bottom of the screen. If the software does not receive a response from the channel, a warning message is displayed, “NO RESPONSE FROM UNIT”. 50289‐BA‐8‐PA ‐6‐ TIME OUT DURATION The time‐out duration is how long a channel can be held open (keyed on) for a retransmission. An inadvertent or intentional “key and hold” action without any voice communication will not disable the channel because of this feature. The time‐out duration can be up set from 1 second to 99 seconds 1 second intervals. The time‐out duration can be disabled by setting it to 00, when disabled, the channel will key continuously with the presence of a received signal. SETTING A TIME‐OUT TIME To set a time‐out time, click on the text box “Time Out Timer” and enter the desired time‐out time up to 99 seconds then click “Send Button” next to the box. To verify the setting, click on the “Read Button” and the display will be updated with the channel setting. 50289‐BA‐8‐PA ‐7‐ MODE SETTING The channel mode may be set to either INHIBIT, CONTINUOUS, CARRIER DETECT or optional TONE DETECT. In the Inhibit mode, the channel is off and will not key on. In the continuous mode, CW, the channel is always keyed and continuously transmitting. In the carrier detect mode, CD, the channel is keyed only when the incoming signal strength is above the factory set threshold level. Normal operation will be in CD mode; continuous mode is normally used for testing. CHANGING THE MODE To change the Mode, click the desired function box on Mode Selection on the main screen. Then click “Send Button” next to the box. To verify the setting, click on the “Read Button” and the display will be updated with the mode setting. 50289‐BA‐8‐PA ‐8‐ KEY ON DELAY The key on delay is a delay duration between the detection of carrier detect and the transmitter key on. The key on delay duration can be up set from 0 to 99 milliseconds 1 millisecond intervals. SETTING KEY ON DELAY To set a time‐out time, click on the text box “Key On Delay” and enter the desired delay up to 99 milliseconds then click “Send Button” next to the box. To verify the setting, click on the “Read Button” and the display will be updated with the channel setting. 50289‐BA‐8‐PA ‐9‐ KEY OFF DELAY The key off delay is a delay duration between the release of carrier detect and the transmitter key off. The key off delay duration can be up set from 0 to 99 milliseconds 1 millisecond intervals. SETTING KEY OFF DELAY To set a time‐out time, click on the text box “Key Off Delay” and enter the desired delay up to 99 milliseconds then click “Send Button” next to the box. To verify the setting, click on the “Read Button” and the display will be updated with the channel setting. 50289‐BA‐8‐PA ‐ 10 ‐ ATTENUATION With high RF receive levels, an input attenuator can be set 0 to 15dB in 1dB steps. SETTING ATTENUATION To set Attenuation: click the function window Attenuation on the main screen. Click on the scroll bar next to the text box, a scroll down list of available attenuation settings. Double Click the on desired setting. 50289‐BA‐8‐PA ‐ 11 ‐ SETTING A FREQUENCY The 8 Channel BDA is shipped with 8 Uplink frequencies and 8 Downlink frequencies. The user can program any card to any of these 8 specified frequencies. To set frequency click the function window Frequency Setting on the main screen. Click on the scroll bar next to the text box, a scroll down list of available frequency settings. Double Click the on desired setting. 50289‐BA‐8‐PA ‐ 12 ‐ FCC Compliance and RF Exposure Information This product is certified by the FCC as compliant with CFR.47 Part 90. Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the manufacturer could void the user's authority to operate the equipment. To comply with FCC RF exposure requirements: • • In-building radiators must be installed to provide a separation distance of 20 cm from personnel, consistent with limits provided for a mobile device. Roof-top antennas must be installed to provide a separation distance of 50cm from personnel. (Note: designated limits assume a 2-meter separation distance, the device is compliant at 50 cm.) Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.
