       SD-161 / SD-164  Data Radio  User Instruction Manual
  2 FCC RF Exposure Compliance Requirements   The Federal Communications Commission (FCC), with its action  in General Docket 93-62, November 7, 1997, has adopted a  safety standard for human exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC regulated equipment. Topaz3 / Maxon subscribes to the same safety standard for the  use of its products. Proper operation of this radio will result in  user exposure far below the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA) and Federal Communications Commission limits.  Power listed is conducted. This device must not exceed a maximum transmitting duty factor of 50%. The antenna(s) used for this transmitter must be installed to provide a separation distance of at least 49cm (19 inches) from all persons, must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter, and must not exceed a gain of 5 dBd for SD-161 and 7 dBd for SD-164. Failure to observe these restrictions will result in exceeding the FCC RF exposure limits.  About your SD-160 Series Data Radio The SD-160 Series of RF Link Modules from Topaz3 utilize the latest technology in their designs and manufacturing. SD-160 models are Phase Lock Loop Synthesizer (PLL) / microprocessor controlled and offer two (2) watts of power with 16-channel capability. Multiple functions including 1200 to 9600 baud rates, AC and/or DC audio coupling, GMSK, FFSK and FSK modulation are standard in these fully programmable RF Link Module units. Programmable sub-audio squelch system (CTCSS & DCS) and two-tone squelch system are added to the signal level detect squelch system (RSSI). GPS Data handling is provided to interface and control an internal GPS receiver.  To assure satisfaction from the radio, we urge you to thoroughly read the operation and function information in this manual before operating your SD-161/SD-164.  Applications of some of the functions described in this manual are determined by the system you use. Your Topaz3 dealer will program your radio so that you have the greatest number of functions possible relative to your needs.  Should you have questions regarding the operation of the radio, please consult your Topaz3 Dealer.

  8  Powering the data radio  Your data radio accepts many sources of DC power to permit more versatile use. This radio operates from 7.2V to 18V DC and standard voltage for test is 12V DC.  Connecting the data radio to DC power Connect DC power plug of power cable to radio’s DC IN power connector and then fasten power plug to the radio by turning the ring clockwise.
  9 SD-160 Series Operation  Channel select / SCAN  Your radio’s channel can be selected by inner DIP-S/W or serial command inputted from external control system. To change channel by inner DIP-S/W (&), you should open the upper cover and then look for the DIP-S/W(&) on the digital board of the bottom cover. Once located change the DIP-S/W to select wanted channel according to channel dip switch chart.  To use a serial command for channel selection, it should be inputted by external equipment or device(ex. Personal computer) through Pin 8 of DB-15 connector. See the message format for serial command for full details.  If your radio has been programmed the channel scan, you must enter the scan mode by serial command.   Transmit  The transmission will be made by various inputs such as PTT signal (Pin 3 of DB-15 connector), TX serial command and Serial data input (Pin 10 of DB-15 connector : This input is only available when a modem option board is installed). TTL level is used as PTT signal and is active low.  If you installed an option modem board, you can use RS-232 level as a PTT signal instead of TTL level. To maintain transmission, continuous PTT signal input is required. If you use Tx serial command for transmission, normally, it’s released by Rx serial command. Before the transmission, check the color of the radio’s top-panel LED(%). It will glow orange if RF activity is present; it will not be illuminated if the radio indicates a “clear” channel. When the channel is “clear”, input the PTT signal or Tx serial command and transmit data or audio. Remove the PTT signal or input Rx serial command when you have finished transmission.  CAUTION : Operation of the transmitter without a proper antenna installed may result in permanent damage to the radio.   Receive  When you have finished transmission, remove the PTT signal or input Rx serial command. You will receive data from another radio or hear another person talking from the connected external speaker.
  10 Scan modes  Scanning is a dealer programmable feature that allows you to monitor a number of channels. Your dealer will help you define a scanning mode and your channel “scan list”   Channel scan  Once the scan list has been established, initiate scan by serial commands. If a conversation is detected on any of the channels in the scan list, the radio will stop on that channel and you will be able to hear the conversation. At that time, busy channel data is sent to external equipment or device through serial command. So, you can identify busy channel data as decoding of received serial command from your radio in the external equipment or device. Normally, if you try to transmit during scanning, the transmission will be made on the channel that the call was received during the programmable scan delay time. (The scan delay time is the amount of time the radio will stay on that channel once activity has ceased. Dealer programming of 4 ~ 7 seconds is typical). The radio will resume scanning once the scan delay time has expired, and will continue to scan until the serial command for scan stop is inputted by external equipment. After the scan resumes, if a transmission is made, the radio will transmit on the selected priority channel. This feature is similar to priority scan TX except for selection of priority channel. You can assign a priority channel by inner dip switch only.   Scan channel delete  To temporarily delete a channel from the scan list, simply input the serial command for scan deletion to the radio while scanning and stopped on the channel to be deleted. This will temporarily remove that channel from the scan list until the scan is closed or the radio’s power is reset.    CTCSS / DCS Scanning  To help to block out unwanted calls to your radio, the SD-160 series can be programmed by your dealer to scan for tones.

  14 Status indicators and audible alert tones  Your SD-160 series data radio has a sophisticated microprocessor control which provides a range of LED displays. LED displays operation mode, current status of radio, warning, and etc. Moreover, if you connect the Speaker filtered OUT (Pin 9 of DB-15 connector) to an external speaker, you can hear audible tones at the following conditions:  • Attempt to transmit on a channel that is already in use when busy channel lockout has been programmed into the radio • Transmission time has exceeded time-out timer programmed length • When the other group or people finished transmission using repeater   See the status indicators and audible alert tones chart for full details.

  17 Modem option for data communication  Descriptions  Internal optional modems can be applied to SD-160 series. One is the FFSK modem and the other is the GMSK modem.  The most obvious method of increasing data efficiency is to maximize the data signaling speed in the limited channel bandwidth. FFSK has a very wide transmission bandwidth requirement. To solve this problem, use the GMSK (Gaussian Filtered Minimum Shift Keying) modem option.   In the case of data, its frequency spectra conflict with sub-audio frequency spectra. If tones are required, only the FFSK modem can be used.  Our internal modem option boards consist of a Slave MCU, Modem IC, and extra circuitry. The modem option directly communicates with the DTE (Data Terminal Equipment) to send and receive the meaningful data through the D-sub connector.   Communication between DTE and Option-Board These modem option boards support only asynchronous communication between the DTE and modem option boards to minimize loss of data during the transmission.  Your dealer will help you define a TX On/Off Delay time, RX On Delay time, Baud Rate, Modem Enabled, Modem Baud Rate, RTS Control Mode, and Test Mode.

You can also transmit received GPS data to another radio or base station if installed with a modem board and GPS board.  Your dealer will help you install the GPS option board and define related parameter set-up.
