• Do not block any ventilation openings.  Install in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. 
WARNING
CAUTION
NOTE

MM-015039-001, Rev. E     
6 
• Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus 
(including amplifiers) that produce heat. 
• Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two 
blades with one wider than the other. A grounding type plug has two blades and a third grounding 
prong. The wide blade or the third prong is provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit 
into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet. 
• Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience 
receptacles, and the point where they exit from the apparatus. 
• Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer. 
• Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified by the manufacturer, or sold with the 
apparatus. When a cart is used, use caution when moving the cart/apparatus combination to avoid 
injury from tip-over. 
• Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been 
damaged in any way, such as when the power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled 
or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not 
operate normally, or has been dropped. 
• Warning: The lightning bolt signifies an alert to the user of the presence of un-insulated “dangerous 
voltage” within the product’s enclosure that may be of significant magnitude to constitute a risk of 
electric shock to persons. 
• Warning: The exclamation point alerts the user to the presence of important operation and 
maintenance (service) instructions in the literature accompanying the product. 
• Outdoor Use Warning: To reduce the risk of Fire or Electric Shock, Do Not Expose This Apparatus to 
Rain or Moisture. 
• Wet Location Warning: Apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing and no objects filled 
with liquids, such as vases, shall be placed on the apparatus. 
1.3 MAXIMUM PERMISSIBLE EXPOSURE LIMITS 
DO NOT TRANSMIT with this base station and antenna when persons are within the Maximum 
Permissible Exposure (MPE) Radius of the antenna.  The MPE Radius is the minimum distance from the 
antenna axis that ALL persons should maintain in order to avoid RF exposure higher than the allowable 
MPE level set by the FCC. 

  MM-015039-001, Rev. E 
7 
Failure to observe these limits may allow all persons within the MPE radius to 
experience RF radiation absorption, which exceeds the FCC maximum permissible 
exposure (MPE) limit.  It is the responsibility of the base station operator to ensure 
that the maximum permissible exposure limits are observed at all times during 
base station transmission.  The base station licensee is to ensure that no bystanders 
are within the radius limits. 
1.4 DETERMINING MPE RADIUS 
The Maximum Permissible Exposure radius is unique for each site and is determined during site licensing 
time based on the complete installation environment (i.e.  co-location, antenna type, transmit power level, 
etc.).  Determination of the MPE distance is the responsibility of the installation licensee.  Calculation of 
the MPE radius is required as part of the site licensing procedure with the FCC. 
1.5 SAFETY TRAINING INFORMATION 
Your MASTR®
V base station generates RF electromagnetic energy during 
transmit mode.  This base station is designed for and classified as “occupational 
use only” meaning it must be used only in the course of employment by individuals 
aware of the hazards and the ways to minimize such hazards.  This base station is 
not intended for use by the “g
eneral population” in an uncontrolled environment.  
It is the responsibility of the base station licensee to ensure that the maximum 
permissible exposure limits determined in the previous section are observed at all 
times during transmission.  The base sta
tion licensee is to ensure that no 
bystanders come within the radius of the maximum permissible exposure limits. 
When licensed by the FCC, this base station complies with the FCC RF exposure limits when persons are 
beyond the MPE radius of the antenna.  In addition, your Harris base station installation complies with the 
following Standards and Guidelines with regard to RF energy and electromagnetic energy levels and 
evaluation of such levels for exposure to humans: 
• FCC OET Bulletin 65 Edition 97-01 Supplement C, Evaluating Compliance with FCC Guidelines for 
Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields. 
• American National Standards Institute (C95.1 – 1992), IEEE Standard for Safety Levels with Respect 
to Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields, 3 kHz to 300 GHz. 
• American National Standards Institute (C95.3 –  1992), IEEE Recommended Practice for the 
Measurement of Potentially Hazardous Electromagnetic Fields – RF and Microwave. 
To ensure that your exposure to RF electromagnetic 
energy is within the FCC 
allowable limits for occupational use, do not operate the base station in a manner that 
would create an MPE distance in excess of that allowable by the FCC. 
This equipment generates or uses radio frequency energy.  Any changes or 
modifications to this equipment not expressly approved by Harris  Corporation  may 
cause harmful interference and could void the user’s authority to operate the 
equipment.

3  INTRODUCTION 
The MASTR V Base Station is a P25 Phase 2 capable transceiver.  The station is fully upgradable to P25 
Phase II.  The MASTR V Base Station is a digital, IP based, LMR communications base station operating 
within a compact shelf design.  It supports IP-based remote software uploads and configuration.  IP-based 
programming may be accomplished using the VIDA Device Manager programming tool.  Network and 
programming communications ports may be configured for VIDA secure shell operation to meet 
Information Assurance (IA) requirements.  A built-In Self Test (BIST) feature provides improved 
performance through remote diagnosis which minimizes down time. 
The MASTR V Base Station uses a 14-slot modular multi-channel T/R shelf assembly (refer to  
Figure 3-1) and a 2-slot High Power Amplifier/Power Supply (HPA/PS) shelf assembly.  Modules may 
include BaseBand Processors, Traffic Controllers, TX, and RX modules.  Blank panels for the main 
module slots (MA-555413) and for the E-Switch slots (MA-555417) are installed in unused slots. 
The TX module uses a factory programmable IQ modulator circuit capable of generating most any LMR 
modulation format into a Direct Digital Synthesis (DDS) TX exciter circuit.  Additionally, the HPA may 
be equipped with a Linearizer module for improved amplitude and phase noise characteristics in S-C4FM 
or similar modulation modes. 
The RX module includes integrated front end and IF circuitry.  The RX module also uses IQ 
demodulation circuitry.  The IQ demodulator is factory programmable and can decode most amplitude 
and phase modulation characteristic, making it capable of receiving most analog or digital LMR 
modulation format. 
The Multi-channel T/R shelf requires +12 VDC and +5 VDC.  The HPA requires +28 VDC.  The station 
may be equipped with a 120/240 VAC switching power supply.  The T/R shelf occupies 5-RU spaces.  
The HPA/PS shelf occupies 2-RU spaces (per TX channel).

4.3.2 Transmitter Module (TX) 
The MASTR V TX module series EA-555008 provides a highly stable +6 dBm RF output to drive the 
High Power Amplifier module.  The MASTR V TX module uses a Direct Digital Synthesizer (DSS) 
which optimizes the modulation characteristics of the TX module.  DSS can digitally create a precision 
waveform or modulation scheme from a single on-board oscillator.  This capability makes the MASTR V 
TX module one of the most versatile transmitter modules in the North American Land Mobile Radio 
(LMR) and European Professional Mobile Radio (PMR) marketplace.

4.3.3 Receiver Module (RX) 
The MASTR V Receiver (RX) modules, model EA-555007, are dual-IF conversion receivers.  The 
receiver uses a Sigma-Delta analog to digital converter to process the incoming IF signal.  The output of 
the  analog-to-digital converter is a complex pair of I/Q baseband digital signals.   The MASTR V RX 
module supports a wide range of modulation waveforms required for current and next generation public 
safety two-way radio communications. 
After IF filtering and down-conversion, received signals are digitized into I and Q information and sent to 
the Baseband Processor module via the backplane Ethernet.  The Baseband Processor module provides 
the narrow channel filtering and demodulation.  The narrow channel filters and digital demodulation is 
performed by the system DSP, giving the MASTR V receiver the flexibility needed in current and future 
LMR communications systems. 
All bands of MASTR V RX modules share common design features and meet stringent receiver 
specifications including the following: 
• High intercept point. 
• Low noise figure. 
• 110.2 MHz IF chosen for all bands of the MASTR V. 
• Automatic Level Control. 
• Built-in 10 MHz reference; switchable to external reference derived from the baseband module 
(which is compatible with an external frequency standard used for Simulcast). 
• Low side LO injection for superior noise performance (700/800 MHz module). 
• Built-in hardware diagnostics (voltage supplies, PLL Lock). 
• Analog FM audio test jack (for factory use only). 
• Raw IQ data is sent to the BaseBand Processor module for demodulation.

4.3.3.1 Front End Preselector 
Each VHF and UHF MASTR V receiver is equipped with an external RF Front End Preselector, model 
EA-555018-xxx.  The preselector (refer to Figure 4-7) for each receiver module is mounted to a frame 
assembly located on the  rear  rack  rails  near  each MASTR V shelf.  The preselectors provide narrow 
bandpass filtering to meet the channel spacing typically used in the VHF and UHF bands. 
Figure 4-7:  RF Front End Preselector 
4.3.4 Baseband Processor Module (BBP) 
The Baseband Processor (BBP) module model EA-555005-001 provides several functions within the 
MASTR V P25 Base Station: 
• Generates all RX, TX, and Control Processing for one or more RF channels. 
• Provides a data interface between the Traffic Controller the TX and RX modules. 
• Generates a heartbeat message used to monitor the health of the base station modules. 
When a MASTR V Base Station is powered up, the TX, RX, and HPA modules will perform a discovery 
period where they await a software request message from the BBP module assigned to manage that slot.  
When the message is received, the module will respond with a software response message that prompts 
the BBP to send the modules a personality message.  The personality message will contain all personality 
data (default initialization parameters).  The modules respond with an acknowledgement for the 
personality message, and then initialize themselves according to the personality data in the personality 
message.  The BBP module sends the modules a message to go operational.  Once operational, the 
discovery and initialization phase is complete.  The BBP module periodically monitors the modules 
through heartbeat messages.  The BBP module also performs other vital roles, especially during a P25 
Simulcast. 
4.3.4.1 Heartbeat Messaging 
Heartbeat messaging is used to monitor the condition of the TX, RX, and HPA modules.  Once 
operational, the BBP module sends out heartbeat messages to each module.  When a heartbeat message is 
received by a module, the receiving module then sends a heartbeat message back to the BBP module.  The 
heartbeat monitor task keeps track of the time-stamps of the received heartbeat messages. A fault is 
registered if a heartbeat message is not received within a predetermined time-frame. The heartbeat 
monitor also keeps track of certain fault conditions.

4.3.5 Traffic Controller Module (TC) 
The Traffic Controller (TC) module model EA-555004-001 performs interfacing for one (1) MASTR V 
P25 RF channel.  The TC module provides the following services: 
• Data and control information for one (1) TX module. 
• Data and control information for one (1) RX module. 
• Generates the P25-formatted TX messages for over-the-air transmission. 
• Provides VoIP interfacing to other P25 sites. 

  MM-015039-001, Rev. E 
23 
The TC module manages data and control information for one (1) TX and one (1) RX channel module.  
Incoming data from dispatch points is processed into over-the-air P25-formatted TX messages.  The TC 
module processes decoded radio information received from the BBP module, and handles all aspects of 
trunking (subscriber unit validation, assigned channels, queuing, etc.). 
During P25 operation, the TC module interprets and directs inbound calls.  It issues appropriate control 
commands to and from the TX and RX modules, including how to handle data between the base station 
and the Control Point. 
The TC module also handles VoIP interfacing to other P25 sites.  Receiver packets are formatted into a 
VoIP-capable protocol and sent to other predefined P25 sites for retransmission.

4.3.6 High Power RF Power Amplifier Module (HPA) 
The RF High Power Amplifier (HPA) assembly EA-555014 (shown in Figure 4-10), amplifies the exciter 
output to the rated station output power level.  This module contains a power module, amplifier drivers 
and power control circuitry required for power amplification 
The Power Amplifier assembly is a continuous duty, solid state, wide-band RF power amplifier.  Its main 
function is to amplify the 0 dBm signal from the TX module to the rated RF output at the antenna port.  
The RF output of the Power Amplifier Assembly is capable of up to 100 Watts (adjustable from 10 to 
100 Watts) as measured at the PA output port. 
The MASTR V HPA series EA-555014 is also equipped with a RF linearizer circuit to improve RF 
performance.  The RF linearizer samples the RF output of the HPA, and provides waveform correction to 
the RF input signal relative to its RF output characteristics.  This improves waveform distortion.

4.3.6.1 Power Supply Module (PS) 
The MASTR V Power Supply (PS) module EA-555011-001 (refer to Figure 4-11) is a continuous duty 
switching power supply.  It operates from an input of 85 VAC to 265 VAC at 47 Hz to 63 Hz (1000 Watts 
maximum).  The PSU provides a maximum of 875 Watts total output power divided among the following 
three (3) DC outputs: 
• +28 VDC at 25 Amps. 
• +12 VDC at 2.8 Amps. 
• +5.0 VDC at 28 Amps. 
The MASTR V PS includes front panel LED status indicators for each DC output, an AC Power input 
LED, and a front panel ON/OFF switch used to disable the power supply and built-in cooling fan.  
Three (3) DC power output connections are provided: one (1) to provide DC current to the MASTR V 
multi-channel shelf, another to provide DC current to the HPA module, and a spare DC connection. 
The MASTR V PS is a negative ground power supply (the negative lead of each DC output is tied to 
chassis ground).  Over voltage, under voltage, and over current protection is built-into the AC input, and 
each DC output.  In the event one of the protection circuits is triggered, only the affected DC output is 
shut down until the protection circuit is reset.

4.3.7 AC and DC Power Distribution 
AC powered sites use specially designed dual input AC power distribution strips, model DP-016706-001.  
Each AC power strip has two (2) circuit protected 110 VAC, 20 Amp high current inputs.  Each high 
power input is distributed to three (3) AC outlets for a total of 6 outlets per power strip.  The housing 
around two outlets on each circuit are silk screened with red as an indication of where to connect the high 
current MASTR V power supplies used at base station rack-ups.  The red only designates use, not rating. 
Figure 4-12: Dual AC Power Distribution Strip 
DC  powered sites use DC Power Distribution Blocks, models EA-555019-001 (Low Power) and 
EA-555019-002 (High Power).  Each DC Distribution Block is designed to distribute -48 VDC from two 
(2) DC input circuits.  Like the AC model, distribution across two circuits reduces the area on the rack’s

users to configure and manage devices within their system.  The user can save/open personalities using 
the Windows file system. 
The user interface, known as the Device Management Console (DMC), allows users to configure and 
manage IP-accessible devices in their MASTR V radio system. It allows users to edit device Personalities 
and permits users to perform actions such as the following: 
• Reset 
• Read Version 
• Load Code 
• Read Personality 
• Write Personality 
The DMC stores device connection information and all personalities (by default) for the supported 
devices within the radio system. The information stored includes device definitions, device plug-ins, 
device Client plug-ins, device personalities, device code, device connections, and device details. The 
Repository provides an interface to access, modify, and create the information.   
5.2 TEST AND DIAGNOSTICS 
The  MASTR V  base station has built-in self diagnostics and fault reporting.  Station faults may be 
remotely monitored via fault reporting from one or more of the following resources: 
• Via the VIDA network through the Regional Network Manager. 
• By telnet session while connected locally to a MASTR V base station. 
The TC module and BBP modules are capable of reporting fault information via the VIDA Network to 
the Regional Network Manager (RNM).  The RNM has the ability to “Poll” the status of certain 
equipment, and “Trap” responses to log files.  For more information regarding RNM polling and 
trapping, refer to the Regional Network Manager User Manual: MM1000018633.

A. Harris Corporation, a Delaware Corporation, through its RF Communications Division (hereinafter "Seller") 
warrants to the original purchaser for use (hereinafter "Buyer") that Equipment manufactured by or for the 
Seller shall be free from defects in material and workmanship, and shall conform to its published

repairing any defective or damaged part or parts thereof, (ii) by making available at Seller’s factory any 
necessary repaired or replacement parts, or (iii) by replacing the failed Equipment with equivalent new or 
refurbished Equipment. Any repaired or replacement part furnished hereunder shall be warranted for the 
remainder of the warranty period of the Equipment in which it is installed. Where such failure cannot be 
corrected by Seller’s reasonable efforts, the parties will negotiate an equitable adjustment in price. Labor to 
perform warranty service will be provided at no charge during the warranty period only for the Equipment 
covered under Paragraph B.3, B.4 and B.5. To be eligible for no-charge labor, service must be performed at

of the Equipment, whether the claim is in contract, warranty, tort (including negligence), strict liability or 
otherwise, and however instituted. Upon the expiration of the warranty period, all such liability shall terminate. 
The foregoing warranties are exclusive and in lieu of all other warranties, whether oral, written, expressed, 
implied or statutory. NO IMPLIED OR STATUTORY WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS 
FOR PARTICULAR PURPOSE SHALL APPLY. IN NO EVENT SHALL THE SELLER BE LIABLE FOR ANY
