WARNING
CAUTION
NOTE

MM-015039-001, Rev. H     
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. H 
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 “general 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  station  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 may cause harmful 
interference and could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

3 At the time this manual was written, the 420 – 430 MHz band has been approved for use in FCC Part 90 applications.  For all other bands referencing 
this footnote, this device has not been authorized as required by the rules of the Federal Communications Commission. “This device is not, and may not 
be, offered for sale or lease, or sold or leased, until authorization is obtained.”  This device; however, may be available within the NTIA marketplace. 
4 Rated power output is measured at the transmitter’s power amplifier output connector. Optional items such as power measuring devices and/or duplexers 
will introduce loss between the transmitter output connector and the station cabinet output connector. This loss will reduce the available power at the 
station connector.

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.

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.

4.3.6  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. 

MM-015039-001, Rev. H

The MASTR V  HPA series  EA-555014 is also  equipped  with an  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.

4.3.7  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 
rear rails required to mount multiple power strips and distributes the load across multiple circuits which 
minimizes the number of hardware devices which fail when circuit protections trips.

DC-powered  MASTR  V  sites  may  use  the  enhanced  DC  Power  Distribution  Blocks,  models 
EA-555019-003 (low power) and EA-555019-004 (high power).  Similar in function to the DC Power 
Distribution  blocks  shown  in  Figure  4-13  and  Figure  4-14,  the  enhanced  versions  include  connector 
assemblies  for  the  DC  input  connections.    The  addition  of  DC  input  connectors  provide  ease  of 
installation and improves performance of the MASTR V DC distribution.

4.3.8  Cross-Connect Panel 
The MASTR V IP Cross-connect panel, model number EA-555016-002, includes printed circuit board 
CB-555149-002 and a 2-RU high metal frame for accommodating 19-inch rack mounting the board.  One 
of more Cross-connect panels is installed at all MASTR V P25 sites.  Additional cabling at the Cross-
connect panel is installed when a site is setup to support Phase 2. 
- - - P25 Trunked Phase 2 Operation - - - 
 Cross-connect panels are installed at all MASTR V P25 Phase 2 equipped trunked 
sites which use two (2) or more Baseband modules. 
 Additional cabling is installed at the Cross-connect panel to support P25 Phase 2. 
The  Cross-connect  board  provides  distribution  of  timing  signals  between  two  (2)  or  more  Baseband 
modules  at  a  site.    It  also  provides  distribution  of  timing  signals  between  two  (2)  or  more  racks  or 
cabinets containing MASTR V transceiver shelves.   
The  timing  signals  passing  through  the  Cross-connect  board  to  each  Baseband  module  are  used  to 
synchronize operations between each RF channel and ensure smooth transition between Control Channel, 
Working Channel, and timeslot operations.

4.4.1  DC-to-AC Inverter 
DC-powered sites using the Harris Extra Deep Cabinet may require a DC-to-AC Inverter, part number 
A10-0326-001, to power the cabinet fan.  Initial releases of the 86-inch Extra Deep Cabinet use an AC-
powered cabinet fan for forced ventilation.  The inverter is required to power this  fan at DC-powered 
sites.  Later models of the cabinet may include an optional DC-powered fan which would eliminate the 
inverter.

5  PROGRAMMING, TEST, AND DIAGNOSTICS 
5.1  VIDA DEVICE MANAGER 
Setup,  configuration,  and  programming  of  a  MASTR V  P25  Trunked  base  station  is  accomplished 
through the use of the VIDA Device Manager programming software tool.  VIDA Device Manager is an 
easy-to-use programming tool designed around a Windows-based file management system that permits 
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.
