During normal operation, key parameters are monitored by the Built-In Test (BIT) circuits and the tram
panel Ready indicator remains lit to show that no tautts have been detected. It the radio develops a lault.
one at the built-in tests will fail causing the Heady indicator to become unlit. The lront panel Ready
indicator flashes when the radio is not connected to an active HDLC link. All front panel indicators are
described on page 15.
The transceiver operates from either an ac, or a back-up dc supply. when both an and do are connected,
operation from the ac supply takes priority; automatic change-over to the dc supply occurs it the ac
supply tails. On restoration ot the ac supply. the equipment reverts to ac operation.
The radio is configured by connecting a PC, loaded with PAE Virtual Front Panel saltware, to the front
panel Diagnostics connector in order to display a Virtual Front Panel. Configuration, which is fully
detailed on page 21, comprises setting parameters relevant to the mode selected.

PRELIMINARY CHECKS
Carefully remove the transit packaging and carry out a visual inspection of the equipment. It any transit
damage has occurred. contact PAE for advice, It damage has occurred, the transit packaging end/or
containers should be retained.
AC INPUT SUPPLY VOLTAGE TAPS
Before initial use, the transceivers ac input supply taps should be checked to ensure the setting
corresponds to the local ac supply voltage. The tape can be linked to one at four voltage settings:
110 V, 120 V. 220 V, or 240 V
To set the tape, use the following procedure:
El Ensure that ac and dc input supplies to the transceiver are disconnected.
r El Access the underside of the transceiver. Release the 13 screws that secure the transceivers
bottom cover; then remove the cover.
D Refer to Fig 2 and identity the Ac Terminal Block.
D Release the screw that secures the terminal block’s cover; then remove the cover.
D Establish the local ac mains voltage; then set the wires and links appropriate to that voltage (see
Fig 3)
U Reiit the terminal block's cover and securing screw.
El Retil the transceivers bottom cover and 13 securing screws.

FITTING A RADIO iNTO AN EQUIPMENT RACK
Caution!
It is essential that the chosen mechanical installation provides adequate support along the
depth (front to rear) ol‘ the unit. The transceiver must not be supported by the trout panel;
doing so can cause damage.
The transceiver can be installed on telescopic slides, or on iixed runners, within a standard 483 mm
(19 inch) equipment rack. Four M4 tapped holes, each 10 mm deep (see Fig 4) are provided on each side
at the equipment ior fitting slides or runners. Details at suitable telescopic slides and fixed runners are
available irom PAE.

Telescopic Slides
Dependent on the rack/slide combination used, it may be necessary to fit a spacer bar between the
runner and the equipment. The width at the spacer must be such that the runners locate correctly within
" the slide assemblies. Installation must be in accordance with instructions relating to the slides, and the
rack or cabinet being used, The transceiver Is secured to the rack through the irunt panel fixing holes
using suitable hardware.
Fixed Runner
The runners must provide adequate support along the depth (iront to rear). at both sides of the unit. The
unit is secured to the rack through the tour front panel fixing holes using suitable hardware. The iront
panel itxlng holes must not be used at any time to support the equipment.

AC SUPPLY CONNECflON
WARNINGS
LE HAL VOLTAGESI THE EQUIPMENT IS PERMANENTLY CONNECTED TO THE MAINS
SUPPLY WHILST THE MAINS CONNECTOR IS ATTACHED. SWITCHING THE REAR PANEL
ONIOFF SWITCH TO THE OFF POSITION DOES NOT ISOLATE THE INTERNAL CIRCUITRY
FROM THE MAINS SUPPLY. FOR THIS REASON, A MAINS ISOLATING SWITCH SHOULD BE
AVAILABLE CLOSE TO, AND EASILY ACCESSIBLE FROM, THE EQUIPMENT POSITION.
EARTH CDNNEC’TIONI THIS EQUIPMENT MUST BE EARTHED. THE EARTH TERMINAL OF
THE AC CONNECTOR SHOULD BE USED AS THE SAFETY EARTH.
CHASSIS EARTH! A CHASSIS STUD, MARKED n‘nlS FITTED TO THE EOUIPMENT’S REAR
PANEL. THIS STUD IS USED TO CONNECT THE RADIO TO THE EQUIPMENT RACK, OR TO
THE USER'S SYSTEM EARTH POINT. THE STUD IS NOT INTENDED TO BE USED AS THE
SAFETY EARTH.
An ac input connector (see page 19) Is tilted to the equlpment’s rear panel. The cable used to connect
between the equipment and the users ac power source should be 3-core (to IEC 227) rated 250 V so at
8 amps. and have a minimum cross sectional area of 1.0 mm? per core. PAE recommends the use of
polyvinyl chloride (PVC) cable. The cable must be titled with an IEC approved equipment connector
(PAE part number 2002030102), and conform to the following specification:
D It PVC insulated, be not lighter than ordinary polyvinyl chloride sheathed flexible cord according
to IEC publication 227 (designation HOS W»F, or H05 VVH2—F),
El It rubber insulated, be at synthetic rubber and not lighter than ordinary tough rubber-sheathed
Ilexible cord according to IEC Publication 245 titled “Rubber Insulated Cables of Hated Voltages
up to and Including 450/750 V (designation HOS RR-F)‘,
The 5525-06 transceiver is a Class 1 equipment. The ac supply cable should have a green-and-yellow
protective earthing conductor electrically connected to the protective earthlng terminal ol the equipment
connector and the mains plug. PAE recommends the ac supply cable is colour coded in accordance with
the electrical appliance (colour code) regulations lcr the UK. That is:
Line: Brown
Neutral: Blue
Earth: Green-and-yellow
The cores otthe mains lead should be connected to the equipment connector provided. and your plug as
lollows:
CI The core which is coloured green-and-yellow must be connected to the terminal in the plug
which is marked with the letter E or by the earth symbol 4— or coloured green-and-yellow,
CI The core which is coloured blue must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the
letter N or coloured black.
El The core which is coloured brown must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the
letter L or coloured redo

DC SUPPLY CONNECTION
The transceiver operates from either an ac, or a dc input supplyr When both ac and do are connected,
operation from the ac supply takes priority; automatic change—over to the dc supply occurs it the ac
supply tails. On restoration of the so supply. the equipment ravens to ac operation,
A dc input supply connector (see page 18) is fitted to the equipment's rear panel. The recommended
minimum rating of the dc supply cable is: 2mm having a cross sectional area 0! LS mm’ per core. The
supply cable must be fitted with an XLFta connector (PAE pan number 20-01030106).
CONNECflNG AN ANTENNA
The antenna feeder cable connects to the lransceiver's rear panel N-type Antenna connector (see
page 17). The VSWFi oi the antenna and leeder cable should be as low as possible. The radio reduces
power by 10 dB it the VSWH exceeds 2.5:1. The antenna system should Ideally have a VSWR
considerably less than this figure.
CHASSIS STUD CONNECTION
In order not to compromise the transceiver’s Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) the Chassis Stud,
marked Mn and fitted to the rear panel, must be connected to the equipment rack (It a rack is being
used) or to the user’s system earth point, The connection should be made using a single tit-rated,
green~and-yellow cable having a cross sectional area 01 2.5 mm“. The cable should have CSA and
UL1015 approval, and be connected to the chassis stud through an M6 eyelet (for example, PAE part
number 2008010103). Failure to comply with this Instruction could result In non-compliance with
the European commission EMC Directive seam/sec.
MAKING FAclLlflES CONNECflONS
A 25»way D-type rear panel Facilities socket allows the required audio. control, and monitoring signals to
be connected. The connector is shown on page 18 and the pin-out detailed in Table 2 on page 20. When
making connections to the Facilities Connector. and in order not to compromise the transceivers
Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC), users must:
El use a D-Type connector that has a screened cover.
D use screened multi—way cable, with the cable's screen connected to the Facitities Connector's
shell or body,
