Programming functions
The Barrett 2050 transceiver can be programmed In three ways:»
Using the 2050 programming software. loaded on a PC. and lransterrlng
information to the 2050 by either IR through the lront panel or by RS-232 through
the auxiliary connector.
By direct key entry through the front panel
Note:- This facility may not be available It the network administrator has barred the
function during programming using a PC.
By cloning intormation from another transceiver, through the auxiliary connector
using a cloning cable Barrett PIN BCA90024 (2050) or PIN BCAZMOZO (2050 in
manpack adaptor)
Programming using the Barrett 2050 programming soitware
The Barrett 2050 programming sonware should be loaded onto PC using the
instructions supplied with the package.
Transceiver configuration packs are uploaded and downloaded to the 2050
transceiver either via IR or via the serial port on the auxiliary socket on the 2050
transceiver,
Programming uslng the Barrett cable P/N BCAQllllu/BCAZOMIZO
To program the transceiver using the RS~232 port or your PC or Laptop plug one oi
the cables mentioned above (depending on whether you are programming a 2050
or a 2050 in the manpack adaptor) into the PC or laptops serial port. The other and
should be plugged it the accessory socket of the transceiver or manpack adaptor.
Your PC or laptop should have the Barrett 2000 series programming software
running and the 2050 should be switched on. Programming functions can now
commence.
Note:- When programming it is suggested you use a Barrett supplied programming
cable. Other common serial cables have other pins connected. In some cases when
connected to the programming computer these pins can have varying ellects. The
most common Is that the 2050 transceiver remains In power on mode, even though
the control head looks inactive the main unlt remains powered up. This is due to the
remote power up pin on auxiliary connector being held active.

Programming using tile IrDA link
To program the transceiver using lne IR Ilnk your PC or notebook should be filled
wim an IIDA standard IR lacillly and have the Barrett 2000 series programming
soliware running. Bring you PC or laptops IR device in visual range ol the IR
window on the tram panel of the 2050 transceiver then go to the “Standard Menu —
IR Enable section' and enable me IRlaciIin. The PC or Laplop should now connect

Operation in the manpack configuration
Manpack operation using the automatic antenna tuner
The Barren manpack can he used with the 10 metre throw over long-wire provided
or the optional 3 mehe collapsible whip.
Note:- Either the whip or the long-wire can be used but not both togethert
Using the whip
The gooseneck should be fitted to the whip antenna stud and the whip uniotded to
is maximum height. it using the Barrett manpack while walking in the backpack
configuration it is suggested that while In receive standby mode the ootiapsihie
antenna be only extended to half height and secured using the Velcro tab. when a
call is received extend the antenna to full height before transmission.
Note:- When using an un-Iuned antenna such as the whip or the long-wire the
section “2040 Antenna Select" in the standard menu should be used to enable the
automatic tuner Le. select ‘Whip/Long—wire" operation. When this is se|ected the in-
built tuner automatically tunes the whip or icing-wire whenever the unit transmits
ether 9 channel change.

For temporary base statlon operation, Barrett manpack can be operated using
either a single wire, end led. portable broadband antenna Barrett PIN 3091205 or
a tactical rapid deploy end ied low power dipole, Barrett PIN ecsisoa as
illustrated below:-

Uniuri the broadband antenna from the winding bobbin supplied.
Push the earth smke into the ground. Clip the short wire from the balun box, with
the coaxial connector on it, to the earth stake using the crocodile clip supplied.
Hang the wlre section 01 the antenna in any configuration convenient as indicated in
the diagrams below. Note the higher from the ground the more enicient the
antenna will be.
Connect the coaxial cable lrom lhe coaxial socket on the blue balun box on the
antenna to the manpack transceiver 500 ENC antenna socket.
The antenna is now ready lor operation, no tuning or adjustments are required.

unwound and laid out (it required). Push the earlh peg irllo the ground. The
radiating end .ol the end ted dipole Is now ready to be elevated into a working
position either on a tree or some elevated natural object using the lead weight and
nylon halyard. .lf you have a mast available, the antenna may be slung rrorntnis.
Connect the coaxial cable from the coaxial socket on the balun centre on the
antenna to the manpack transceiver 500 BNC antenna socket.
The antenna is now ready tor operation on the frequency you have set It to, select
that trequency on the transceiver.

Introduction
This section provides instructions tor the installation oi land based HF
communication equipment
Most of the installation work can be parlonnog by nonaeohniml personnel it they
careiully follow the instructions given in this handbook, It is however recommended
that the oompleted installation be checked by a suitably qualified technician. In
some equipment configurau'ons. technical adjustment is required tor the equipment
to operate oorreotly.
Note:»Some equipment has specific instnlctlons supplied with it When this is the
Case those instru 'ons over-ride the general guidance oi this handbook, and must
be followed in detail.
Unpacking and Inspection
When unpacking the transceiver. oheok the oontents against the packing note
provided. Betore discarding the canon, check that all accessories have been
removed and are not mislaid in the packing material. Inspect the equipment for any
transit damage. It damage has occurred notify your supplier immediately and gain
their advice on further action. Fallure to do this could arrect the warranty covering
the equipment.
Fixed station Installations
Transceiver position
The lollowing should be considered when choosing a position for the transceiver.
Operating oonvenlenee
The transceiver should be placed so that the operator Is comfortable and any
iaoilities he may require are easily accessible.
A‘ circulation
Most transceivers rely on air llow around cooling fins to dissipate heat generated by
the transmitter. The mounting position must allow free air llow around these fins.
Proximity of transceiver to antenna
When using RG-SS coaxial cable from the transceiver to the antenna a cable length
oi no more than 30 metres is recommended. Should a run oi more than 30 metres
be required it is recommended that a low loss coax such as RG-213 or RG-S be
used.
