3.1.5 LED Indicators
LOW (yellow):
The transmitter transmits in low power, either caused by an internal failure
(SWR, Temperature, or low input voltage) or set by the user. The low power
level is adjustable.
AL (red):
Indicates that an alarm is present in the transmitter unit. Details of the alarm
will be shown on the display.
REM (green):
This LED has multiple functions. The REMOTE indicator will be lit with a
constant green colour when the transmitter is “ready” for remote operation.
Ready means that the keying options has been set to include keying from an
external source, and that the voice input has been set to an external source
(600 ohm line input).
In addition the REMOTE indicator will flash yellow each time the unit is
communicating on either of the remote interfaces (RS232, RS485, Ethernet).
STBY (yellow):
The transmitter is kept in standby, either by user input, an external signal to
the remote interface or because an alarm condition has been detected, and
the transmitter is set up as a MAIN transmitter. In standby the transmitter
will not be able to send, even if a valid key signal is input to the unit.
OUT (yellow):
Indicate that the transmitter is keyed and power is being generated. The LED
is activated based on RF detected on the output of the power amplifier, thus
the LED gives an indication that power is generated.
SWR (red):
Indicate that the SWR on the antenna is above the threshold value (app. 3:1).
The transmitter will reduce the output power to the predefined low power
level in order to protect the output stage.

RS232 serial line
The RS232 serial line that can be used to control radio parameters from an external unit, or
to upload new firmware into the radio unit for future functionality. Details regarding
firmware upgrade is described in the maintenance and repair manual.
Hardware key to change access level:
order to change the access level (see chapter 5.5.3 for details) a hardware
key must be inserted into the microphone/headset connector before

4.3 Installation into equipment cabinet
The units may be installed into a standard 19” subrack with a height of 3U.
The total subrack is divided into 84 TE units. The transmitter occupies 28 TE, the PSU occupies 14TE
and the receiver unit occupies 14TE.
For a transceiver this leaves a free space of 28TE available for other equipment.
Figure 4.3-1 shows some examples for installation into 19” subrack. From top to bottom the figure
shows: 6 receivers in one subrack, 2 transmitters with PSU in one subrack and 3 transmitters without
PSU (operated on DC) in one subrack.
Figure 4.3-1, Examples of various configurations
4.4 Antenna connectors
The antenna should be of good quality with regards to gain and VSWR to obtain maximum
performance. Recommended antennas can be Procom CXL-2-1LW/H (0dBd), Procom CXL-2-3C/M
(3dBd) or similar. Make sure that the VSWR on the antenna is low, and that the cable from the
transmitter to the antenna is of good quality to avoid mismatch and unnecessary losses. The antenna
used with this radio should be installed at least 260cm away from any area where people are likely to
be.
A cable loss of 1 dB is the same as reducing the power output of a 50W transmitter to less than 40W.
Similarly, a cable loss of 2 dB is the same as reducing the output power to less than 32W.
In areas were thunderstorms and lightning is a problem, surge arrestors should be mounted between
the antenna connector and the antenna cable. The arrestors should be of good quality and be
capable of handling the output power of the transmitter.
The antenna output of the transmitter is an N-type antenna connector on the back of the
transmitter. The second connector (BNC-type) is the output of the antenna switch and can be used to
connect the input of a receiver.
4.5 AC and DC connectors
Refer to section 3.4.2, 3.6.1 and 3.6.3 for voltages and connectors.
4.6 Remote signals
Several remote signals are available on the rear interfaces of the radio units.
These signals can be grouped into: Audio signals, Key signals, Data interface signals and other signals.
Note, for all interface signals, RJ45 connectors are used. As far as practically possible, the pairs used
on a standard ethernet connection are used when a signal is input/output as a pair to the radio (e.g.
audio lines). For interconnections between the transmitter and receiver, and for interconnection to a

distribution panel with RJ45 connectors, standard Cat5E, ethernet cable should be used. This is a
good quality, screened cable, with 1 to 1 connections between the two connectors.

Table 4.6-1, Transceiver, transmitter – receiver interconnections
The RX connector on the transmitter unit has a special function, and is normally used only in a
“transceiver” configuration.
When connecting the signals on the transmitter RX connector with the signals on the receivers REM
connector, the following functionality is added to the transmitter and receiver:

The receiver audio line (p.3 and p.6) is input to the transmitter.
This enables the possibility to monitor the audio from the receiver from the transmitter
headphone connector, allowing only one plug to be used for a combined
headset/microphone.
In addition, it enables the possibility to use a 2 wire interface to the transmitters audio input
line for the combined transmitter and receiver audio.
Finally, it enables the functionality to monitor both the transmitted audio and the received
audio on the monitor output (TA-AUX2) line on the transmitter.

A RX Busy signal (p.5) is input to the transmitter from the receiver.
This signal signals the transmitter that the RX is busy. This is used in VDL operation.

A TX Busy signal (p.4) is output from the transmitter to the receiver.
This signal signals the receiver that the TX is busy (transmitting). This is used in VDL
operation, and to mute the receiver while transmitting (see table below).

A receiver alarm in/out is connected to the transmitter alarm in/out.
This enables the functionality that the complete transceiver (both receiver and transmitter
unit) will enter into alarm state if one of the units fails. This is useful if the complete
transceiver should be switched to a backup transceiver.

The RS485 serial lines from both units are connected in parallel.
This is useful to have only one connection point for the RS485 on the transceiver for remote
control.

misinterpretation of data.
The protocols are described in the data
manual.
Legacy uses a protocol where the 9. bit is
used for address recognition, this is the
protocol used on the previous radio models
(TA7450, RA7202) and is compatible with
the RACS II PC software and the RCU
remote control unit.
Standard is an eight bit protocol that uses
the multidrop capability of the RS485 bus.
For more information on protocols, refer to

The input source determines where the audio
is applied to the transmitter.

Auto: Uses line input for when a
key signal is detected on one of
the remote connectors and mic
input if the key signal is detected
on the front panel connector.

Line: Uses the 600 ohm line
interface as the audio source

Mic: Uses the microphone input as
the audio source

Modgen: Uses the internal
modgen as audio input source – se
also Modgen frequency

VoIP: Uses the IP interface as the
audio source (availability depends
on radio specifications).
Set the sensitivity of the 600 ohm line input.
This setting determines where the VOGAD
(automatic gain control) start to operate.
Thus if it is set to -17 dBm, levels above -17
dBm will be modulated with 85% (default
setting).
For levels below -17 dBm the modulation will
decrease linearly.
Set the termination of the input line to either
OFF or 600 ohm. Normally this is set to 600
ohm, but can be set to OFF on one of the
radios, if two transmitters are connected in
parallel. This is to maintain the 600 ohm
impedance on the lines.
Below this level, the line input will be muted.
Used where noisy lines are connected to the
transmitter to avoid unnecessary noise on
the produced RF signal during periods of
silence (Automatic transmissions; VOLMET,

In addition to the line loop keying, it is possible to key the transmitter, using several other hardware
and software options.
 TX_KEY_G
This is a signal available on the transmitter REM connector, pin 4. This signal, if connected to
GND will key the transmitter.

TXKEY_P, TXKEY_N
This is a differential signal, available on the transmitter AUX2 connector, pin 7 and 8. This
signal will key the transmitter if a voltage between 12 and 48 V is fed between them. Note
also that this is a differential signal, not connected to any ground potential inside the
transmitter, therefore the signal can be configured for both positive and negative voltage
keying (see figure).

Alarm and Select signals transmitter and receiver
Figure 4.6-4, Alarm and select signals, transmitter
The alarm signals are outputs used to signal that the radio units has detected an alarm internally. The
Select signal is used to select or deselect (inhibit) a particular unit. By deselecting a unit, the unit will
enter into standby and can not be used for radio communication. However, all other functionality of
the radio units is operational when the radio is in the standby state.
The pinout and signals are equal on the transmitter and the receiver unit, except the ALARM (REM,
p.7) pin. This pin has a fixed +5V pull-up on the receiver, while the pull-up is configurable on the
transmitter.


ALARM_P, ALARM_N (AUX1, pin 1 and 2)
This is a differential signal, used to signal the alarm state. The radio can be set up with an
internal pull-up to +12V if desired.

ALARM (REM, pin 7)
Same as the signal above, but this signal is referenced to GND.

SELECT (AUX1, pin 3 and 6)
This input is connected to an optocoupler. The SELECT requires an external voltage to
operate.
One way to use the SELECT signal is in conjunction with the ALARM output signal from
another radio unit. If the ALARM signal (ALARM_P and ALARM_N) on a primary (main) radio
is connected to the SELECT_P and SELECT_N on a secondary (backup) radio, then automatic
switchover from the main to the standby radio is performed when the main radio detects an
alarm. In this mode, a pull-up is required on the ALARM output from the primary radio.

The ALARM_OUT_P and ALARM_OUT_N
output pins on AUX1 is used to signal that
the radio has an alarm. This parameter
applies a pull up voltage to ALARM_OUT_P
when there are no alarms present. When an
alarm is detected the relay contact close.
The SELECT_IN_P and SELECT_IN_N
input pins on AUX1 can be used to select /
deselect (Standby) the radio with an
external signal (e.g. alarm from a main
radio). This setting determines if the radio
should be operational on a low select input
signal or a high select input signal.

RX BUSY (SQ) (REM, pin 5)
This signal is only available when a receiver is connected with a 8 pin bus between the
transmitter RX and the receiver REM connector.
The signal is the same as the RX BUSY from the receiver, settings are done on the receiver
unit.

KEY_OUT_P, KEY_OUT_N (AUX2, pin 1 and 2)
This output can be used for external equipment that needs a key signal from the transmitter.
The key signal is available immediately after a key input is received on any of the key inputs.
Normally RF is produced only a few ms (<10ms) after a key signal is applied to the
transmitter.
If the KEY_OUT is used for external equipment that used relays for switching the RF, it is
necessary to delay the RF output, this can be done with a software setting, see below.

TXLOW_P, TXLOW_N (AUX2, pin 4 and 5)
This input is used to immediately switch the transmitter into low power. The input requires
an external pull-up to work. The low power level can be adjusted with a software setting.

This setting is useful when the transmitter is
used together with external equipment such
as T/R relays, power amplifier or other
equipment that includes RF switchover
relays.
Since the RF switching in the transmitter is
done electronically, the RF is produced in
less than 10ms after the PTT signal is
detected. It could be harmful for the external
relays if the RF is applied to them before
switchover has occurred.
In order to delay the RF carrier this
parameter should be used under such
circumstances. A reasonable setting should
be in the order of 40-50 ms.

5 Operating Instructions
5.1 Introduction
To set up the transmitter and receiver units, several parameters can be selected from the
front panel. This section details how this is done and the range of all parameters.
Since the radio units contains no manual tuning points or switches, all parameters can in
principal be set from the front panel, however except in some rare occasions, most
parameters should be left at their default (factory preset) values.
There are 4 user levels that can be selected to limit the user access to certain parameters.
The user levels can be set on one of the data interface ports. There is also a way to override
the user levels, described in the technical manual.
These user levels are:
Restricted
Limits front panel operation to selecting preset channels and adjusting
audio output levels and display appearance. Use this level when the
radio units are used from a remote position or in cases where the
user should be restricted to use preset channels only (1 – 100).
Operation
Same as restricted, but in addition the local user has full access to
changing and storing frequencies, and to change the squelch level.
Technician This level gives the local user access to the most used installation
specific parameters (line levels, output power, etc.) and should be
used when installing or maintaining the radio units.
SysOp
This level gives unlimited access to all parameters within the radio
units and should be used with care.

The input source determines where the audio
is applied to the transmitter.

Auto: Uses line input for when a
key signal is detected on one of
the remote connectors and mic
input if the key signal is detected
on the front panel connector.

Line: Uses the 600 ohm line
interface as the audio source

Mic: Uses the microphone input as
the audio source

Modgen: Uses the internal
modgen as audio input source – se
also Modgen frequency

VoIP: Uses the IP interface as the
audio source (availability depends
on radio specifications).
Set the gain (sensitivity) for the microphone
connected to the front panel connector.
Use this setting to increase or decrease the
gain if needed. Setting depends on
microphone used.
Set the sensitivity of the 600 ohm line input.
This setting determines where the VOGAD
(automatic gain control) start to operate.
Thus if it is set to -17 dBm, levels above -17
dBm will be modulated with 85% (default
setting).
For levels below -17 dBm the modulation will
decrease linearly.
Set the termination of the input line to either
OFF or 600 ohm. Normally this is set to 600
ohm, but can be set to OFF on one of the
radios, if two transmitters are connected in
parallel. This is to maintain the 600 ohm
impedance on the lines.
Below this level, the line input will be muted.
Used where noisy lines are connected to the
transmitter to avoid unnecessary noise on
the produced RF signal during periods of
silence (Automatic transmissions; VOLMET,
ATIS)
Set where the monitor output signal and the
received audio (if a receiver is connected) is
routed.
Can be set to the headset connector, the 600
ohm monitor line output or both.
The monitor signal is the demodulated signal
detected on the output of the transmitter.
Set the relative output level of the monitor
signal.
Set the attack and decrease time of the
automatic gain control (VOGAD).

Off is used only for maintenance
purposes.
Set the frequency of the internal modulation
generator. Used in conjunction with the
Audio input source
Defines the scaling factor of the Rx Audio on
the headset output when the transmitter is

Determines what signal that will be used as
the source for keying the transmitter.
Any combinations can be set

Mic: Local PTT input from a
microphone, where the PTT is
connected to pin 4 and 8(gnd) on
the Mic/headset connector.

Line: Keying from a phantom
signal on the line input. Pin 3 and 6
on the REM connector.

Txkey: The transmitter is keyed by
an external voltage on the
TXKEY_P and TXKEY_N input
pins. Signals located on Pin 7 and
8 on the | connector.

Txgnd: The transmitter is keyed
by a signal on the TXKEY_G input
pin Signals are located on Pin 4
and 8 (gnd) on the REM
connector.

Inband: The transmitter is keyed
using an inband tone (see also
inband frequency and inband
sensitivity)
Set the frequency to be used for the inband
tone that will be used to key the transmitter.
By selected the tone frequency to use, the
transmitter will automatically calculate the
notch filter to use an insert this into the audio
path. Applicable to the line interface input
only.
The level of the tone used to key the
transmitter on the 600ohm input line.
The value is given in dBm (absolute level
related to 600 ohm). Values above the limit
will key the transmitter.
See also Keying source and Inband
frequency.
Set the timeout for the key signal. If the PTT
is pressed longer than this timeout, the
transmitter will automatically stop
transmitting. The transmitter will
automatically reset the timer when the key
signal is released.
This setting is useful when the transmitter is
used together with external equipment such
as T/R relays, power amplifier or other
equipment that includes RF switchover
relays.
Since the RF switching in the transmitter is
done electronically, the RF is produced in
less than 10ms after the PTT signal is
detected. It could be harmful for the external
relays if the RF is applied to them before
switchover has occurred.
In order to delay the RF carrier this
parameter should be used under such
circumstances. A reasonable setting should
be in the order of 40-50 ms.

The ALARM_OUT_P and ALARM_OUT_N

Factory preset
This setting is used to fine adjust (calibrate)
the reference oscillator of the receiver. The
full range is approximately 10 ppm. This
setting should be used with care, and only
when a calibrated frequency measuring
instrument is used to measure the frequency
of the receiver.
The exact frequency of the receiver can be
determined either by connecting a spectrum
analyzer to the antenna connector of the
receiver and measure the leakage of the LO
output (45 MHz above the operating
frequency) – or by using a radio test set to
measure the bandwidth of the receiver and
adjust until centre is on the operating
frequency.
In order to measure the RSSI level exactly,
there is a provision to calibrate the reading.
Normally the reading is within +/-2 dB
without calibration, but it can be useful if to
signals are being compared.
Writing a “1” to this parameter will reset the
receiver and restore the settings that where
set before shipping from the factory. Use
with care – all settings that has been
changed will be reset!

The SELECT_IN_P and SELECT_IN_N
input pins on AUX1 can be used to select /
deselect (Standby) the radio with an
external signal (e.g. alarm from a main
radio). This setting determines if the radio
should be operational on a low select input
signal or a high select input signal.
Set the bit rate to use on the RS485 port
Set the address to use on the RS485. In a
remote system using the RS485
communication port, all units that are
interconnected need to have a unique
address in order to avoid collisions and
misinterpretation of data.
The protocols are described in the data
manual.
Legacy uses a protocol where the 9. bit is
used for address recognition, this is the
protocol used on the previous radio models
(TA7450, RA7202) and is compatible with
the RACS II PC software and the RCU
remote control unit.
Standard is an eight bit protocol that uses
the multidrop capability of the RS485 bus.
For more information on protocols, refer to
the SW manual.
Set the bit rate to use on the RS232
interface ports
IP interface address for the unit. Must be
unique on the network it connects to.
The netmask used on the IP interface.
Should correspond to the local network that
the radio is connected to.
If set different from the default, the radio unit
will send IP traffic to the default gateway if
the address is unreachable on the local
network
The input port used for SNMP commands
The default port is the global port for SNMP
commands
The IP address where SNMP traps are sent.
The address can be in the form of a unicast,
multicast or broadcast address.
The output port where SNMP traps are sent.
The default value is the global port for
SNMP traps
The interval on which an “alive” trap
(operstate) are sent to the host, if the TrapIP
and TrapPort are set. The value is given in
seconds. 0=OFF
The IP address that VDL packets received
will be sent to. Must be set in order to detect
VDLpackets.
The output port used for VDL traffic if the
VDL input source is set to IP
Used to identify the location of the radio
from a remote application. Defines the rack

6 ERROR CONDITIONS AND CORRECTIVE ACTIONS
When the internal BITE (Built In Test Equipment) in the transmitter or the receiver units detects a
failure, the alarm indicator on the front panel of the unit will be lit. In addition the radio unit will
signal with an automatically generated SNMP trap message on the ethernet interface.
Details about the fault that caused the alarm are accessible for user access levels: SysOp and
Technician.
The error messages are available in two levels, first the module that has the failure will be identified,
next the user has the option to view in details what particular message that caused the alarm
condition.
In the following (LRU) refers to the Lowest Replaceable Unit – and is normally the first line
maintenance where the complete unit is replaced. (LRM) refers to the Lowest Replaceable Module
and is the module within the unit that can be replaced. The LRM level normally requires a well
equipped workshop with appropriate tools for testing and calibration.
