Unpack the modem and check that you have received the following items: The me-d200/d350 is housed in a rugged cast-aluminium box sealed to IEC 529 (IP54) making it suitable for a wide range of mobile and fixed applications. ● me-d200 or d350 Transceiver ● User Guide (this document) me-d200 diagram All me-d200 modem units meet the essential requirements of the relevant European directives and all me-d350 modems meet relevant US FCC and Canadian regulations. In order to maintain this compliance the installation and safety information must be adhered to at all times. e11 034663 ● The me-d200/d350 modem must only be installed where unintentional contact cannot be made. The surface of the device may be hot to touch under certain transmit conditions. A warning label is permanently displayed as part of the equipment rating label affixed to the lid. The me-d200/d350 is not designed for permanent transmission. If prolonged transmission periods are used, the unit will become hot and will require an additional heatsink to be fitted. ● When fitting the me-d200/d350 into a fixed installation, me-d350 diagram: 35 care must be taken in the routing of all cabling such that the insulation cannot become damaged. ● The recommended supply sources for use with the med200/d350 are a standard 12V supply, but is capable of operating in the range (9V - 18V). If any of these items are missing, please contact your supplier. Description of modem Features The me-d200/d350 is a network free, point to point data radio that offers great flexibility in varied applications where wireless data or voice communication is needed. ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● It can be used as a “dumb” radio, with no internal module fitted, to allow users to facilitate the use of their own modem and protocol. Internal link changes enable the input to be set for TTL levels so allowing POCSAG for example. In this scenario, the radio is completely transparent and simply needs the correct signal level inputs (see pin out details), and use of separate control lines (PTT etc) or serial commands. The me-d200/d350 can also be fitted with either a Bell 202,V.23 module, a FFSK module (up to 4800 baud rate) or a GMSK module (up to 9600 baud rate). These allow communication with a pc via hyper terminal and other emulation packages. For further information on these options, including pin outs, please refer to the separate Module Manual available on the Mobile Expertise web site. The me-d200/d350 also operates as a standard radio with microphone input and speaker output, in this mode the radio has the following associated features, these include CTCSS/DCS, busy channel lockout and scan ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● Compact and rugged die cast box Resistant to dirt, dust and water ingress (IP54 rated) Network free, point to point communication 1/5 watt programmable output power Synthesised operation with 16 channel capability CTCSS & DCS encode and decode programmable 12.5 / 25kHz channel spacing External modem / Direct FM / TTL (pocsag) Internal (RS232) module options available: GMSK up to 9600 or FFSK up to 4800 or Bell 202 V23 1200bps RSSI level indication Busy’ output 9 – 18 volt supply input Enhanced Power Save Mode (sleep) Serial commands available to control radio Busy Channel lockout Time out timer Scanning TX only feature Programmable squelch levels External connections 66mm Pin outs 30mm BUSY DATA MOD IN MIC IN (AF) Data OUT (AF) SERIAL IN (PROG.)

Refer to Application Notes on the Mobile Expertise web site. Operation Transmit/receive operation The me-d200/d350 can be put into transmit by different methods. When used as a “dumb” radio, the PTT line is pulled low (pin 3 of DB15). The Tx serial command will also put the radio into transmit (pin 8 of DB15), until the Rx serial command is received. The format for these commands (asynchronous) are: ● Baud rate: 4800 bit/sec ● Data: 8 bit, ● Parity: Non parity ● Stop Bit (SP): 1 bit ● MSB first transmission Each serial command consists of 3 bytes. The first byte is the command (CMD), the second is data (DATA) required by the command and the third is the check sum (CS) to validate contents TX Command format: CMD DATA CS 1st byte 2nd byte 3rd byte N.B. Check Sum = 1st byte + 2nd byte. CS = CMD + DATA Response format: CMD DATA1 DATA2 ... DATAn The response CMD is in the form of: ACK, acknowledge, Hex: 0xAA; (then data if any) NACK, no acknowledge (error in command) Hex: 0x55 NOK, not okay (cannot carry out command) Hex: 0x65 If command is not recognised, repeated or already in requested or wrong state e.g channel change in TX there is no response from the radio. Where an internal module is fitted the PTT/Busy links are changed to RS232 (see module manual). The GMSK and FFSK can in addition operate automatically by going into “TX” on receipt of data on pin 10 of DB15. 14 15 16 Transmit command (CMD) 0x64 0x53 0x87 0x53 0x59 0x61 0x61 0x57 0x57 0x6a 0x62 0x62 0x62 0x62 Mode Channel Change Request current Channel Activate prog mode / main loop Request current channel number, when in prog mode *Software version Enter TX mode Enter RX mode Enter Sleep mode Exit Sleep mode Check radio awake Scan start Scan start, but stopped on correct channel Scan Stop Scan delete 0x4f 0x46 0X46 0x73 0x00 0x58 0X4f 0.72 0x74 0x00 0x66 0x00 0x66 0x00 : chn 1 0x01 : chn 2 Transmit Data (DATA) ACK / NACK 0X65 (NOK) ACK / NACK 0X66 ACK / NACK ACK / NACK ACK / NACK ACK / NACK ACK / NACK ACK / NACK ACK / NACK ACK / NACK ACK / NACK No response on earlier models ACK / NACK 0xAA (ACK) 0X55 (NACK) Response (CMD) Chn no., CMD+DATA 1st byte main ver 2nd byte update ver 1st byte: chn no. 2nd byte: software version 3rd byte: option board status 1st byte: Chn no. 2nd byte: option board status Response Data NOK : e.g when stopped not on a channel Respond once if stopped on a channel. e.g.If on channel 1 : 66,00,66 (00=chn1,01-chn2) No response if already scanning Firmware 5.0 or later Firmware 5.0 or later No response if already RX No response if already TX 2 bytes in Hex represent version e.g. 1.10 becomes 01,0A *Firmware version 5.0 or later Chn 1 = 01 Chn 2 = 02 Software version 1.2 = 12 A0: No option board A1: GMSK A2: FFSK/AFSK Cannot receive in this mode, but clears previous serial commands.

Ideally, multiple antennas should be separated by a minimum of a wavelength (at the lowest frequency), whilst still retaining a good ground plane for each antenna. Therefore, for a 400MHz system, the ideal separation should be a minimum of 0.75m (~30in), and for 150MHz system the minimum should be 2.5m (~98in). Warning: If installing an antenna near people it is necessary to ensure the minimum separation is maintained. This particularly important where prolonged exposure is likely.

The parameters available for programming include: ● Frequency, channel spacing and sub-audible tones on a per channel basis ● Radio settings such as power save mode,Tx lockout, Tx timeout, Squelch ● Module options when FSK, FFSK and GMSK module is fitted, such as setting baud rate, dumb or auto mode, Hyper Terminal mode and data settings (flow control, block size etc) The pc program also allows for squelch adjustments and calibration Refer to programming manual and PC software. 23 Power sources Fixing It is important that a “clean” source of power is used for the supply to the modem We recommend that the me-d200/d350 is securely fixed to a surface, either directly, or with a suitable bracket. The fixing hole centre dimensions are as shown. Fuse replacement We recommend an inline “quick blow” fuse rating of 4 amps be fitted to the +ve supply. The modem can be attached to any surface by using suitable size screws through the M3.5 holes in the mounting flanges. Cabling 108.763mm +/-0.0762 3.5 52.045mm +/-0.305 When fitting the modem into a fixed installation care must be taken in the routing of all cabling such that the insulation cannot become damaged. 50.06mm +/-0.250 If possible, run RF cables separately from other cables and keep RF cables apart from one another to avoid interference / coupling. nc ra ea Cl 108.763mm +/-0.0762 24 25 Safety and general information Vehicles with airbags Important information on safe and efficient use of your Radio device Air bags inflate with great force. Do not place a radio in the area over an airbag or in the airbag deployment area, any radio may be propelled with great force and cause serious injury to the occupant of the vehicle. Exposure to radio frequency energy Your modem is a high power radio transceiver. When it is on, it receives and also sends out radio frequency (RF) signals. To help minimise human exposure to RF electromagnetic energy, keep transmission time to 50% or less. As with all radio devices, holding the antenna affects transmission quality and may cause the radio to operate at a higher power level than required. Do not hold the antenna when the radio is in use. Do not use radios with damaged or modified antenna, this may violate compliance with relevant international standards. Where prolonged human exposure is likely, the minimum separation from the antenna should be 0.8m. Electromagnetic interference/compatibility Potentially explosive atmospheres Turn off your modem prior to entering any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere, unless it is a radio type especially qualified for use in such areas. Do not remove install or charge batteries in such areas. Sparks in potentially explosive atmospheres can cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or death. Potentially explosive atmospheres include fuelling areas such as petrol stations, below decks on boats, fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities, vehicles using liquid petroleum gas (such as propane or butane); areas where the air contains chemicals or particles such as grain, dust or metal powders, and any other area where you would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle engine. Areas with potentially explosive atmospheres are often but not always posted. Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF energy. However certain electronic equipment may not be shielded against RF signals. The modem needs to be switched off in any facility where posted notices instruct you to do so to avoid electromagnetic interference or compatibility conflicts. Special care should be taken near facilities such as hospitals or health care centres may be using equipment that is sensitive to external RF energy. Medical devices (Pacemakers) If you use any personal medical device, consult the manufacturer of your device to determine it is adequately shielded from RF energy. Your physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this information. 26 27 Warranty and repairs Declaration of conformity* The me-d200/d350 is a low maintenance device.
