The manual TG480XX.01 "Installation and Operation" contains the following sections : Section 1.2 DV 480XX.01 General Information Installation Operation Purpose of equipment The VHF ground station TG480-(025)-(XX) is a fixed ground station for speech communications in the VHF frequency range of 118.000 MHz to 136.975 MHz. The ground station is designed for airport and airfield use and can be used as a main transceiver on landing fields and as a standby unit on airports and for special tasks within the scope of air traffic control. 1.3 General description The VHF ground station is designed for mounting in 19-inch rack systems or in an ATC desk. The VHF ground station is designed to operate on a AC supply voltage of 115 V or 230 V ± 10% /5060 Hz. In DC operation, the VHF ground station is designed to operate on a voltage of 13.75 V [TG480 - (10) or 24V, TG480 - (20), TG480 -(50)]. The control circuit switches over to external DC voltage if the AC voltage supply fails. If an internal battery is fitted to provide an emergency power supply, it will still be possible to maintain T/R communication for several hours if the AC and external DC supplies fail. The necessary charging circuit for the battery is located inside the TG480 - ( ). TG480XX.01 Issue 04/07 Page 1-1 TG480-(025)-(XX) GENERAL DESCRIPTION 1.3.1 General description of CORE Module 1-2 A. The VHF transceiver has been developed as a single block unit. The dimen sions correspond to the standard instrument diameter of 58 mm. All controls and indicators are located on the front panel. The rear of the unit holds the equipment connector and the antenna socket. B. After it is switched on, the unit performs a self test. All segments of the display flash during the self test. If faults are detected, the LCD (liquid crystal display) displays a fault code for approximately five seconds. The VHF transceiver then automatically activates the mode set before it was switched off. C. The VHF transceiver is fitted with a single superheterodyne receiver. A squelch (muting) circuit suppresses transmitters or disturbances below a certain field strength. The switching threshold can be set. The squelch function can also be switched off. D. The transmitter is designed to be wideband over the 118.000 MHz to 136.975 MHz range. The transmitter output power is ≥ 5 Watt. The sidetone is automatically switched to the headphone output during transmission. E. The oscillator frequency of the receiver and the the transmitting frequency of the transmitter are generated by a VCO (voltage controlled oscillator). This is monitored by a digital frequency evaluation circuit. This digital frequency processing operates in conjunction with a microprocessor. F. The microphone inputs are designed for both dynamic and standard microphones. The inputs are connected to a dynamic volume compressor which keeps the modulation voltage constant over a wide input voltage range. G. The frequency indication is by means of a liquid crystal display (LCD). The required operating frequency is set using the MHz and kHz frequency selector switches. The MHz rotary switch engages at 1 MHz steps and the kHz rotary switch at 25 kHz steps. The VHF transceiver also contains a memory device for storing 99 different frequencies which remain stored even with the unit switched off without an auxiliary battery. TG480XX.01 Issue 04/07 TG480-(025)-(XX) H. The VHF transceiver also contains a monitoring stage for the supply voltage which is activated when the VHF transceiver is switched on. If the supply voltage drops below 10.5 V, the segments of the LCD begin to flash. I. In the mode 3, the supply voltage and temperature is displayed in the bottom line of the LCD. J. The AF auxiliary input enables AF signal switching of auxiliary units in the air craft. The switched AF signals can, however, only be monitored in the reception mode. K. If illumination of the LCD is required, this can be connected either directly to the supply voltage or via a dimmer. L. The scan function can be switched on in the service mode and called up in mode 2. The active frequency is shown in the top line of the display and the bottom line shows the associated storage channel with the preset CS. In the scanning mode the stored frequencies in the storage channels are scanned in succession at 200 ms intervals. When an evaluatable reception signal is found, the VHF transceiver remains on this frequency until an evaluatable reception frequency is no longer present. It then begins to scan all the stored frequencies again in 200 ms intervals. In the service mode, the hold time between the end of an evaluatable signal and the continuation of the scanning of the next channels can be set to between 0 and 60 seconds. M. Special functions VHF transceiver contains some special functions which can be set in the service mode. Adjustment of volume IC, sidetone, AF auxiliary and the sensitivity of dynamic microphone. The switch-on threshold of the squelch can be set in the service mode. The frequency setting can be inhibited. The VHF transceiver then operates onlH.The VHF transceiver also contains a monitoring stage for the supply voltage. The storage of frequencies in the storage channels can be inhibited. Stored frequencies can be erased. Access to the service mode can be interlocked with a 4-digit password. The scan function can be switched on.

TG480XX.01 Issue 04/07 Page 2-3 a TG480-(025)-(XX) 2.1.13 Tuning Instructions for the co-loca er Item Description: The co-location lter is a two section tunable BPF. Helical resonators and variable capacitors make up the resonant sections which have a tuning range from 116-150 MHz. Tuning Instructions: The co-location lter is normally shipped tuned to a center frequency of 116 MHz, if the channel is not spe ed. When units are to be tuned outside the factory, it is advisable to use a network or scalar analyzer set to the appropriate frequency range and span as required. There are 2 adjustments that control the resonant frequency of the lter. They are iden ed on the envelope drawing as "C1" and "C2," which are capacitors. The only tool required is a small slotted screwdriver. There is a protective cap over the capacitor with an access hole for a screwdriver. Using the screwdriver, rotating the capacitor in a clockwise direction increases the capacitance of that particular section, lowering the frequency of operation. Conversely, rotating the capacitor in a counterclockwise direction decreases the capacitance of that particular section, increasing the frequency of operation. When tuning the lter to a spe c center frequency, it is convenient to set the analyzer to the desired center frequency with a 5 or 10 mhz span. Depending on where the lter is presently tuned, adjust C1 accordingly until a peak in the response is noted on the analyzer at the desired center frequency. Adjust C2 in a similar fashion until the bandpass response is cenetered and the return loss null is about 18 dB. No other adjustments are required. 2.2 Pin con nec ti on front /rear pla te Service connector wiring 2.2.0 Pin Description Vcc TXD RXD SQL (COR) GND RF Tx ALARM V-FOR V-REF 15 Note: TG480 Series RS 232 Adapter must be used if Service port is to be used with a computer.

Switch on the VHF ground station using the ON/OFF switch. CAUTION After the VHF ground station is switched off using the On/STBY switch it goes into standby mode. All indicators go out except the AC or DC LED diode which continues to remain on depending on the type of supply voltagey. To remove all current from the VHF ground station requires the supply voltages to be switched off externally and the fuse of the built in battery removed from the fuse holder. If a battery is installed in the VHF Ground Station and the external supply voltages are disconnected and switch by the ON/STANDBY switch in the ON position, the equipment is discharching the Ope ra tingmistake in internal battery (2) The segments of the LC displa y will blink with the pow e r supply voltage having dropped down to 9V d.c. Following the blinking per i o d the self-test i s c o n ducted. With low supply voltage this test per i o d can last up to 20 seconds. If the test is positive, the transceiver automatically switches to the mode which was activated before switch-off. If the test result negative, the LCD will disp l a y the first fault report for approximately five seconds. If further faults were detected during test, the corresponding fault reports will be displayed additionally. After i s playing the last fault report the equipment will switch automatically to the operating mode which was activated before switch-off. (3) The following fault signals are possible : E1 E2 E3 E4 (4) B. Processor defective Synthesizer failed Fault in EE-PROM Controller (PIC) audio assembly defective The various mod e s are comprehensively described, t o g hether with the setting of the equipment c o n figuration in the service mode, in the Ann e x to the General Operating Instructions. Transmit/receive mode (1) Set the frequency of the local ground station in the preset disp l a y a n d press the exchange key. Rotate t h e V O L c o n trol to the centre position. NOTE : Page 3-5 If the error message E2 appears in the top line dur i n g operation, the synthesizer is not latching and further R/T operations no longer possible. The VHF transceiver must be check in the next service station TG480XX.01 Issue 04/07 TG480-(025)-(XX) (2) Operate the transmit b u t ton and call the ground station. Hold the mic r ophone close to the lips for optimum speech transmission. NOTE : The arr o w in the top line of the display indicates transmit mode. During transmission a protective circuit prevents a frequency change or frequency channel change even if the frequency selector switch is rotated. The keying functions o n t h e c o n trol panel are also inhibited. (3) Set the correct reception volume using the VOL control whilst the ground station is answering. (4) Switch on the squelch (press SQL key again). Weak reception signals and reception noises are suppressed. The switch-on threshold of the squelch can be set in the service mode. NOTE : C. D. When changing the mode or the frequencies (PRESET- ACTIVE frequency) the change is automatically stored 2 s e cond after the last change took place. Due to this delay changes which were made immediately bef o r e switching off the transceiver w i l l n o t b e m e morized. E x cepetition: M e mory actions as storage by press i n g the STO key. Operation of intercom mode (1) Switch on the IC switch (external). (2) Operate the intercommunication (IC). (3) If necessary, the IC volume can be adjusted to the noise level of the aircraft (for adjustment refer to service mode). Au dio au xi lia ry input A second and third radio unit (navigation receiver) c a n b e m o nitored simultane ously via the audio auxiliary i n put. During transmission the auxiliary input i s switched off from the audio end amplifier. If necessary, the inp u t sensitivity can be matched to the noise level of the aircraft (for setting refer to service mode). TG480XX.01 Issue 04/07 3-6 TG480-(025)-(XX) E. Jamming of transmit button (1) The VHF- transceiver is fitt e d with a protective circuit to protect against jamming of the transmit butt o n or a short circuit on the key suppl y line. For continuous transmissions exceeding two minutes the protective circuit automatically switches from transmission to reception. This avoids the switched channel being blocked. (2) It is possible t o a c tivate the transmitter again immediately by re-pressing the transmit button. In the event of a fault, this is only possible after the short circuit has been cleared or the transmit button released. CAUTION : F. G. In Stock to be able to continue transmitting even with the transmit b u tton jammed, the VHF Transceiver must be switched off and then back on again. After that the VHF transceiver then continues to o p e rate in the transmit m o d e for a further two minutes. Flas hing of the LCD (1) If the power suppl y for the VHF transceiver drops below 10.5 V, the display begins to flash. This flashing indicates, w h e n o p e rating o n b a tteries for example, that the batteries require recharging. In practice the display begins to flash in the transmit mode because this is when the power consumption is greatest. If the pow e r supply again increases abo ve 10.5 V, the flashing c e a ses. (2) Because the discharge c u r ves of the batteries are very dependant on the type of battery, e.g. lead or nickel/cadmium accumulators, and the am bienttemperature also influences the discharge curves, it is not pos si ble to state precisely how long the VHF transceiver c o n tinues to be full y functional after th e L C D b e gins to flash. (3) When transmitting, the batteries can be completely discharged after a few transmission cycles but during reception functioning is still guaranteed in most cases for approximately 1 to 2 hours after the flashing begins. At 10 V supply voltage the unit still continues to function at reduced transmission pow e r . Ope ra ti on of the va ri ous mo des (1) The VHF transceiver performs various functions which are cove re d by individual operating modes. The mode is selected by briefly pressing the MDE key. If it is press e d for a long time (more than 1 second) this se lects mode 1.

The VHF transceiver i s ready to transmit a n d r e ceive on this frequency. Select required channel using the kHz frequency selector (steps of 1) or the MHz frequency selector (steps of 10). Free channel (no frequency stored) will be skipped when selected. If the Scan function is not activated, the storing function can be initiated by pressing the STO-Key. Refer to description of mode 1. Note TG480XX.01 Issue 04/07 If in mode 2 the scan function is switched on in the service mode, no storage operation can be activated in this mode. The top line indicates the active frequency. The ac ti ve frequency i n dicated in the bottom line is flashing. S e lect the desired frequency can be set using the kHz freq u e n cy selector or the MHz frequency selector. Exit from mode 2 is achiev e d by pressing t h e M D E k e y . 3-10 TG480-(025)-(XX) (b) Scan function Note: When operating the scan mode observe the regulations for the aviation radio service If the scan function is activated in the equipment configuration, pressing the STO key chang e s from the channel selection mode to the scan functio n . In the scan function, the frequency appears in the top line of the display and the associated chan nel with the preset CS is shown in the bottom line. In the scan function, either all the occupied storage channels o r a r e quired range of storage channels can be scanned. The scanning range is specified in the service mode. The various storage channels are scanned in 200 ms intervals. If the microprocessor finds a carrier in one of the channels, i t h o l d s a short on this channel and checks whether a n e v a lua tab le signal is present. If no evaluatable signal is present, it swit ches to the next channel and then reverts to the 400 ms intervals (milliseconds range). In the event of an evaluatable r eception signal being received the VHF transceiver remains on the storage channel until an evaluatable reception signal is no longer p r e sent.After a hold time 0 to 60 seconds (can be set in the service mode) the scanning of the storage channels a t 200 ms intervals begins again. The set squelch level i s the criterium for a n e v a luatable reception signal, regardless of whether the squelch is activated or not. The VHF transceiver is equipped with channel priority. This function can be switched ON or OFF in service mode SF 18 NOTE: If an adequate signal is required on the priority chann e l with option channel priority switched ON, the VHF transcei ver automatically leaves the SCAN mode and is ready for transmission and receive on this channel. For return to the SCAN mode, again press the STO key. The scan function is terminated by pressing the STO key. The VHF transceiver then begins to operate again in the channel selection mode - the CS in the bottom line goes out and CH appears. Exit from mode 2 is accomplished in the same way as described in the channel selection mode.

TG480XX.01 Issue 04/07 3-22 TG480-(025)-(XX) 4. Safety instructions The following instructions must be followed for safe operation of the VHF transcei ver: A. Switch off the unit when star ting or shut ting down en gi nes. B. A speech test is to be performed be fo re start up and it should be no ted that if the speech test is carried out clo se to the ground sta ti on the re sults may be positive even if the antenna cable is brok e n or short-circuited. At a distance of 5 to 10 km no connection will be made. C. Use a loud voi ce for speech com mu ni ca ti on and hold the mi cro pho ne clo se to the lips. Ot her wi se ca bin noise can be intrusive and make understanding difficult. D. Use only mi cro pho nes or he ad sets which are suit ab le for use in air craft. In air craft made of wood or syn the tic ma te ri als o r i n g l i ders or he li cop ters, in co ming radiation on the equip ment an ten na can af fect the in te gra ted am pli fier of the mi cro pho ne (feed back). This is noticeable in the ground station by whist ling and/or heavy distortion. The described disturbances can occur in different ways on the different transmission channels. E. Transmit buttons can stick and cau se con ti nu ous transmission. Therefore, when transmitting ensure that the arrow in the top line on the left next to the active fre quen cy dis play dis ap pe ars when the trans mis si on but ton is re lea sed. TG480XX.01 Issue 04/07 3-23 TG480-(025)-(XX) Blank TG480XX.01 Issue 04/07 3-24 TG480-(025)-(XX) 3.4 Safety instructions The following instructions must be followed for safe operation of the VHF station: A speech test is to be performed before startup and it should be noted that if the speech test is carried out close to the ground station the results may be positive even if the antenna cable is broken or short-circuited. At a distance of 5 to 10 km no connection will be made. Use a loud voice for speech communication and hold the microphone close to the lips. Otherwise cabin noise can be intrusive and make understanding difficult. Use only microphones or headsets which are suitable for use in aircraft. Incoming radiation on the equipment antenna can affect the integrated amplifier of the microphone (feedback). This is noticeable in the ground station by whistling and/or heavy distortion. The described disturbances can occur in different ways on the different transmission channels. Transmit buttons can stick and cause continuous transmission. Therefore, when transmitting ensure that the LED display (red) disappears when the transmission button is released.
