The RMA number helps locate your equipment in the repair lab if there is a need to contact Dataradio concerning the equipment. Units sent in for repair will be returned to the customer re-tuned to the current Dataradio Test and Tune Procedure and will conform to all specifications noted in this section Customers are responsible for shipping charges (to Dataradio) for returned units in warranty. Units in warranty are repaired free of charge unless there is evidence of abuse or damage beyond the terms of the warranty. Dataradio covers return shipping costs for equipment repaired while under warranty. Units out of warranty are subject to repair service charges. Customers are responsible for shipping charges (to and from Dataradio) on units out of warranty. Return shipping instructions are the responsibility of the customer. 1.10 EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION 1.10.1 PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION The TSLM consists of a logic printed circuit board (PCB) (which includes the modem circuitry) and a separate radio module. The two boards plug directly together, attach to a front panel and slide into a sheet metal case. The front panel includes a DE-15 data connector, a BNC antenna connector and two LED indicators. Power connections are made through the DE-15 data connector. The unit is not hermetically sealed and should be mounted in a suitable enclosure where dust and/or a corrosive atmosphere are anticipated. There are no external switches or adjustments. Operating parameters are set using software. TSLM General Specifications The following general specifications are subject to change without notice.

Once programmed, the current operating channel may be selected either by: 1.Utilizing hardware jumpers By strapping connections on the Data Port Connector. There is a 10k ohm pull up resistor on each line (CS0 to CS2) (refer to Table 2-5) or making changes with the TSLM Field Programming Software: 2.By selecting the channel from the TSLM FPS Offline Diagnostics feature.

The Field Programming Software allows the user to edit and program user programmable settings, interactively tune modem and RF parameters, and monitor diagnostic data from the TSLM. The PTT Watchdog allows the user to set the maximum transmit time. This is used to protect against a ‘stuck’ transmitter. The time is selected by a slider bar. The range is 0 to 120 seconds with a default of 30 seconds. 2.6 FCC MPE Compliance Reports - VHF and UHF RF Exposure Compliance Requirements TSLM VHF Wireless Modem FCC Rule: 1.1307, 1.1310, 2.1091 (b) (d), 2.1093 Description of Compliance: The TSLM will be professionally installed in the SCADA (Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition) market and will be mounted with a fixed RTU (Remote Terminal Unit).
