User’s Guide SD-225 Series 16 Channel UHF/VHF Data Radio www.midlandradio.com SD-225 User’s Guide FCC RF EXPOSURE COMPLIANCE REQUIREMENTS FOR OCCUPATIONAL USE ONLY The Federal Communications Commission (FCC), within 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. Midland Radio Corporation 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 FCC limits. DO NOT transmit for more than 50% of total use time (50% duty cycle). Transmitting more than 50% of the time can cause FCC RF exposure compliance requirements to be exceeded. This radio is NOT approved for use by the general population in an uncontrolled environment. This radio is restricted to occupational use, work related operations only, where the radio operator must have the knowledge to control the user’s exposure conditions for satisfying the higher exposure limit allowed for occupational use. The antenna used with this radio should not have gain of more than 6 dBi. Make sure no one is closer than 20 inches to the antenna when transmitting. The radio is transmitting when the red LED on the cover of the radio is illuminated. You can cause the radio to transmit by grounding pin 3 on the radio connector. These are required operating conditions for meeting FCC RF exposure compliance. Failure to observe these restrictions means violation. © 2006, Midland Radio Corporation SD-225 User’s Guide Contents Conventions and Symbols in this Book ................................... 4 Disclaimer ................................................................................ 4 Safety ....................................................................................... 4 Introduction .............................................................................. 6 Radio Models ....................................................................... 6 Radio Features..................................................................... 6 Recommended Accessories and Options ............................ 7 Radio Connections................................................................... 8 Connection Overview ........................................................... 8 External Interface ............................................................... 10 DB9 Radio Interface Connector Details ............................. 10 Setup and Operation.............................................................. 12 Mounting............................................................................. 12 Channel Selection .............................................................. 12 Status LED ......................................................................... 13 Specifications......................................................................... 14 Warranty Statement ............................................................... 15 © 2006, Midland Radio Corporation SD-225 User’s Guide Conventions and Symbols in this Book This symbol marks a “caution”.

Bell 202/V.23 internal 1200 baud modem © 2006, Midland Radio Corporation SD-225 User’s Guide Radio Connections Connection Overview The SD-225 features two standard interfaces. The data interface is used for connection to external modems and provides flat, unfiltered input and output. The audio interface is used for voice and some voiceband (300 – 3000 Hz) signaling applications. If the internal modem option is installed, the data interface may be configured for direct asynchronous RS232 data input and output. PTT and Busy may also be configured for RS232 levels. More information using the internal modem is available in the modem manual. Once the interface type is selected, the appropriate connections may be chosen based on the information given below. Power Connection The SD-225 needs a stable 12V DC power source, capable of supplying at least 2 amps of current. The power connections should be made to DB9 pins 4 (-) and 5 (+). The nominal input voltage for the SD-225 is 12 Vdc, but it is capable of operating in a 9-18 Vdc range. PTT Connection A connection to the PTT input, DB9 pin 3, is required to put the SD-225 into transmit mode. Switching the PTT input to 0V will initiate transmit mode. With the internal modem option, the PTT input may be changed to RS232 level. Busy Connection A connection may be made to the BUSY_DET output, DB9 pin 6, which indicates the receive status of the SD-225. Pin 6 is normally +5Vdc and switches to 0V when a signal exceeding the programmed squelch threshold is received. If CTCSS/DCS is programmed on the channel, the CTCSS/DCS must also be © 2006, Midland Radio Corporation SD-225 User’s Guide decoded, before pin 6 will switch low. With the internal modem option, the BUSY output may be changed to RS232 level. Modulation Input Connections The two choices for modulation are DATA_IN, DB9 pin 1 or MIC_IN, DB9 pin 7. When the SD-225 is used in low speed data applications (with an external modem), the modem data to be transmitted is usually connected to pin 1. The SD-225 connects the pin 1 input to the transmitter by default. For audio applications, the transmit audio is usually connected to pin 7. The SD-225 must detect a load on pin 7, before it will switch pin 7 into the transmit circuit. This load could be a microphone element that is switched into the circuit by PTT. Alternatively, a 10KΩ resistor may be connected from PTT (pin 3) to MIC_IN (pin 7). This will load pin 7 when transmitting. Pin 7 has a second function in receive mode. If this pin is switched low in receive mode the SD-225 will enter monitor mode (open squelch). The MIC_IN load should only be in the circuit during transmit mode. It may be necessary to use an A/C coupling capacitor from the external modulation source to prevent the SD-225 from entering monitor mode. Demodulated Output Connections The demodulated output from the receiver is available on DATA_OUT, DB9 pin 2 and SPK_OUT, DB9 pin 9. For low speed data applications, the flat, discriminator output, pin 2, is usually connected to the external modem. Pin 2 will provide 200300 mVrms into a 10KΩ load when receiving a 1 KHz audio signal modulated at 60%. For audio applications, the bandpass filtered (300 – 3000 Hz) and de-emphasized audio available on pin 9 is typically used. Pin 9 is adjusted for a nominal 1 Vrms into an 8Ω load, when receiving a 1 KHz audio signal modulated at 60%. RV403 may be used to adjust the pin 9 output level. © 2006, Midland Radio Corporation SD-225 User’s Guide 2.5 in External Interface 1.2 in 4.6 in 1.
