2 The purpose of this handbook is to provide sufficient information to successfully install and operatethe radios. No topics covered in this book involve power being applied with any equipment coversremoved. A full technical description, to component level, of each radio is provided in an associatedtechnical handbook. Details of how to order copies of the technical handbooks are given in section 5.3 This handbook is divided into six sections. The sections cover the following topics:❏Section 1. Provides an overview of the equipment, and details the various installation options.❏Section 2. Provides the technical specification of the equipment.❏Section 3. Provides installation and commissioning instructions for the equipment. It must benoted that the installation involves the connection of lethal voltages to the equipment.Installation must therefore be carried out only by suitably qualified personnel.❏Section 4. Describes the purpose of the equipment’s controls, connectors and indicators.Also provided is an example setting-up procedure, operating instructions, and usermaintenance procedures.❏Section 5. Lists the spare parts applicable to the topics covered in this handbook (eachequipment’s full parts-listing is contained in the associated technical handbook).❏Section 6. PAE drawings applicable to this handbook. The drawings are referenced in the textas Fig. 1, Fig. 2 etc. It should be noted that in-text illustrations are referenced by the section andfigure number; for example, Fig. 3-1.EQUIPMENT OVERVIEW4 Series 3000DV2 radios can operate in the VHF 100 to 163 MHz and/or UHF 225 to 339.975 MHzfrequency bands, with 25 kHz channel spacing. 8.33 kHz channel spacing is also available in the VHFband between 118.000 MHz and 136.975 MHz. Standard operating modes are amplitude modulation(AM) or frequency modulation (FM) with both clear voice and data (16 kBit cypher) modes selectable.When 8.33 kHz channel spacing is used, the radio automatically defaults to AM, clear voice mode.5 The radios are suitable for use in voice encryption systems and Link 11 applications. All UHF setscan be equipped with an internal ECCM module to provide Have Quick II frequency hopping operation(for Have Quick operating instructions refer to document PAE 31B33060SUP).6 The equipment’s operating frequency is selected using the front panel’s numeric data keys. Up to99 pre-set channels can be stored in the equipment’s memory. Each stored channel contains frequencyand operating mode information. Pre-set channels can be recalled for operational use, or recalled fordisplay without altering the operational frequency.7 The transceiver and transmitter equipments produce a maximum output of 40 watts in AM modeand 60 watts in FM mode. The output power can be reduced by using a front panel control. If a PAE3640 power amplifier is used in conjunction with a 3000DV2 transmitter or transceiver, the radio’s FMoutput is automatically reduced to 40 watts to produce a 100 watt output from the power amplifier.Power Supplies8 The radios can be operated from standard ac input supplies, or from a low voltage dc supply (referto section 2, specification). Both ac and dc input supplies can be simultaneously connected to theequipment.Section 1 3000DV2 RadiosPage 2
9 When both ac and dc supplies are connected, operation from the ac supply takes priority; automaticchange-over to the dc supply will occur if the ac supply fails. On restoration of the ac supply, theequipment reverts to ac operation.Built-in Test Facility10 A built-in test (BIT) facility monitors essential parameters within the equipment, and displays anerror message if a fault is found. The BIT functions in three different ways:❏It allows certain equipment parameters to be displayed only when selected by the user.❏It continuously performs certain test routines while the equipment is operating.❏It provides a complete check of the equipment when selected to do so by the user. During thisoperation, normal operation of the equipment is suspended.11 Full details of BIT operation and the resultant error messages are given in section 4.TYPES OF INSTALLATION12 The series 3000DV2 radios can be installed in one of four ways:❏Mounted on fixed runners within a standard 483 mm (19 inch) equipment rack.❏Fitted on telescopic slides within a standard 483 mm (19 inch) equipment rack.❏As a free-standing desktop equipment using the PAE free-standing accessory kit.❏In mobile applications using the PAE free-standing accessory kit plus an anti-vibration mountkit.Control of Equipment13 The radios can be controlled in local, or remote modes. In local mode, control of the equipment is byusing the front panel controls and indicators as detailed in section 4. In addition to the front panelcontrols, a number of inputs, outputs and control facilities can be configured through the rear panelfacilities socket. A full list of the facilities can be found in section 3.14 As an alternative to local control, a PAE series 3000V2 Remote Control Unit (RCU) can be used; theRCU replicates many of the radio’s front panel controls and indicators. The radio’s remote controlmodule can be configured for operation through dc or ac (tone) circuits. When configured for dcoperation, the RCU can be located (using suitable land lines) up to 1 km (1043 yards) from theequipment. When configured for ac operation, no dc path is required between the equipment and theRCU; this enables the control circuits to be routed, for example, through a microwave link.15 For remote management of the equipment, and when part of a communication system, the PAEMulti-Access Remote Control (MARC) system can be used.3000DV2 Radios Section 1Page 3

Radio Type Menu89 The following key sequences show how to interrogate the radio to display the radio type. Thisprocedure is an engineering facility and is unlikely to be of value to an operator. If an unknown display isshown, this indicates that the switches fitted to the BITE module are incorrectly set. Refer to theTechnical Handbook.SCREEN BLANKING90 The operator may ‘blank’ the frequency and channel screen display by selecting the key sequence91, (SHIFT s), 5.91 The following functions will be available when the screen is blanked:❏PTT❏Monitor functions.92 To restore the frequency and channel displays, select the key sequence 91, (SHIFT s), 5.Section 4 3000DV2 RadiosPage 24Press 91 (SHIFT s), Aux ABefore key sequence (example)if the radio type is unknownPress CE key to end viewing3140 ttyPE325.000. 21FREQUENCY CHANNEL MONITOR---- -- tyPE325.000. 21
TRANSMIT OPERATION (FOR TRANSMITTERS AND TRANSCEIVERS ONLY)93 On the synthesiser front panel (see Fig. 4-3), select the required operational frequency either byrecalling a pre-set channel, or by using the numeric keypad (as detailed in previous paragraphs).94 Transmission can now take place by operating the PTT switch and speaking into the microphone.95 A sidetone of the transmitted audio is available from the MIC/HEADSET or MIC socket if thespeaker is switched off.96 A data (wideband) input is also available at the rear panel FACILITIES connector. If using thisfunction ensure that the narrow-band/wideband (NB/WB) mode has been set for wideband (WB).RECEIVE OPERATION (FOR RECEIVERS AND TRANSCEIVERS ONLY)97 On the synthesiser front panel (see Fig. 4-3), select the required operational frequency either byrecalling a pre-set channel or by using the numeric keypad (as detailed in previous paragraphs).98 Verify that the displayed frequency is correct. Reception will now take place with the audio beingavailable at the MIC/HEADSET socket and the internal loudspeaker (when set to the on position). Allaudio outputs can be controlled using the VOL control.99 A data (wideband) output is also available at the rear panel FACILITIES 2 connector. The level ofthis output is pre-set.3000DV2 Radios Section 4Page 25
MARITIME BAND - ADDITIONAL OPERATING INFORMATIONGENERAL100 Radios incorporating the maritime band option (Option 10) are user selectable between thefollowing operational modes:❏Normal (non-maritime band operation)❏Ship (maritime band operation)❏Shore (maritime band operation).NORMAL MODE101 The normal (or non-maritime mode) will perform identically to a radio without maritime capability.The only exception is an additional key sequence that is required to switch into one or other of themaritime modes (see paragraph 109).SHIP/SHORE MODES102 In maritime mode, the channels 1 to 28, 60 to 74 and 77 to 88 (see Table 4-4) are overlaid withinternational maritime VHF frequencies. These particular channels cannot be altered by the operatoralthough the remaining channels still have this capability.103 As the actual frequency of transmission and reception are pre-set for maritime channels, the 6-digitdisplay will either indicate ‘SH IP.’ or ShorE.’. The display will also include one of the following suffixcharacters:‘I’ - denotes International selection (i.e. SH IP.I or ShorE.I)‘A’ - denotes American selection (i.e. SH IP.A or ShorE. A)104 The format in use may be toggled by a key sequence (see paragraph 109).Ship/Shore View Modes105 In the ship/shore view modes the current operating frequency is displayed at all times. Duringreception, the receive frequency is displayed. the display will then indicate the transmit frequency duringsubsequent transmissions (this allows test engineers to check that the radios are transmitting andreceiving on the correct frequency).Section 4 3000DV2 RadiosPage 26
Channel Change106 Changing maritime channels follows the same format as with normal channel changes. As digitsare entered, they are displayed on the frequency display. Once a valid selection has been made, thenew channel is selected. If this is within the maritime range, the display will return to maritime mode, i.e.displaying ‘SH IP.A’ (SH IP.I) or ‘ShorE.A’ (ShorE.I) unless in view mode.Frequency Change107 Maritime frequencies cannot be changed as they are internationally set. If a frequency is entered,the frequency display will show ‘Error’ and the channel display will show the error number 10.Note ...The channels not covered by the maritime standards may be re-programmed as normal. Thesechannels are duplicates of those in non-maritime mode and as such, any changes made will remainwhen maritime mode is de-selected.External RF Filter108 The external RF filters normally used with 3000DV2 series equipment require a few seconds toretune to a new frequency and cannot be used for filtering both transmission and reception signals on aTwo Frequency Simplex channel. If a filter is fitted when one of these channels is recalled, an errormessage will be displayed (see Table 4-5).3000DV2 Radios Section 4Page 27

BUILT-IN TEST (BIT) OPERATION110 The BIT functions monitor key radio parameters and provides an indication if an equipmentmalfunction occurs. The BIT functions in three different ways:❏Power-On Self-Test (POST)❏Continuously monitored functions❏Interruptive self-test routines.POWER-ON SELF-TEST111 A power-on self-test (POST) is performed to check the basic functionality of the radio.112 If no problems are revealed PASS is shown in the monitor display; see following example:113 If a problem exists with the synthesiser, the frequency window shows the following message (thismessage indicates the set is inoperative and cannot be used):114 Any other post-initialisation problems are indicated by having the BIT display window show ‘POSt’as shown in the following example:Section 4 3000DV2 RadiosPage 30225.000 01 PASSFREQUENCY CHANNEL MONITORnO Syn 3POStFREQUENCY CHANNEL MONITOR305.000 01 POStFREQUENCY CHANNEL MONITOR
115 On error the MEM key can be used to view each problem in turn, so that each POST problem can benoted. For example, if the internal Have Quick module (anti-jam) option is enabled and the Have Quickmodule has failed, the MEM key should be pressed a number of times and the following display will beshown:116 Pressing the MEM key a number of times will cause each POST problem in turn to be shown,returning to the original display when all POST codes have been shown. The post-initialisation test canonly be cleared by switching the set off, fixing the problem concerned and switching the set back onagain. Analysing faults is outside the scope of this handbook. Reference should be made to theappropriate technical handbook for further information.CONTINUOUSLY MONITORED FUNCTIONS117 The BIT automatically performs test routines that monitor the equipment’s test point voltages atleast once every two seconds. If a test point voltage is found to be outside the pre-set limit, the moduleand test point numbers are stored in the fault memory. The error message ‘bit’ will be shown on themonitor display. If the fault is only temporary, the bit error message will disappear.118 If the fault is caused by an external influence and the set is still operating correctly at reduced power,one of the following messages will be displayed:❏If a high temperature within the equipment is sensed, the error message °C will be shown onthe monitor display.❏If the fault is caused by a high VSWR at the VHF antenna connection, ANT 1 will be shown onthe monitor display.❏If the fault is caused by a high VSWR at the UHF antenna connection, ANT 2 will be shown onthe monitor display.❏If the fault is caused by a low supply voltage AC or DC (as selected), PS will be shown in themonitor display.❏If the fault is with an external power amplifier, 3640, Ebit will be shown in the monitor display.Under this condition the set will be operating correctly at full power, however the 3640 will be inbypass condition (non-amplifying). When the 3640 fault is cleared, the following key sequencemust be entered at the radio to clear the bypass condition and restore normal working:SHIFTs, RESET3000DV2 Radios Section 4Page 31nO AJ 7POStFREQUENCY CHANNEL MONITOR
INTERRUPTIVE SELF-TEST ROUTINE119 This test is initiated by pressing the TEST key. During the self-test routine, normal operation of theequipment is suspended, and the TEST indicator is on.120 At the start of the test, the fault memory is cleared and the MEM indicator is turned off. If a fault isfound, the module and test point number is stored in the fault memory, and the MEM indicator turned on.The test routine then proceeds to the next module.121 On completion, one of the following status messages is shown on the MONITOR display:❏PASS - indicating system is fully operational.❏bit - indicating one or more out of limit conditions exist.❏tCAr - indicating the interruptive test has been aborted. The transmitter’s carrier output poweris below specification, i.e. less than 4 watts (not applicable to receivers).❏tAUd - indicating the interruptive test has been aborted. The transmitter’s depth of modulationis below specification, i.e., less than 50% (not applicable to receivers).❏rSEn - indicating the interruptive test has been aborted. The receiver’s sensitivity is belowspecification (not applicable to transmitters).❏rAUd - indicating the interruptive test has been aborted. The receiver’s audio is belowspecification (not applicable to transmitters).❏ANT 1 - indicating high VSWR present at the VHF antenna connection.❏ANT 2 - indicating high VSWR present at the UHF antenna connection.❏°C - indicating equipment above normal operating temperature.❏PS - indicating low supply voltage AC or DC as selected.❏EbIt - indicating an external error has occurred. When an external power amplifier type 3640 isconnected to the radio and this message is received, the 3640 is switched to the bypasscondition (non-amplifying). When the fault is cleared in the 3640, the following key sequencemust be entered at the radio to clear the 3640 bypass condition and restore normal working ofthe 3640:SHIFT s, RESETNote ...During antenna testing it is not possible for the equipment to indicate a fault on both VHF and UHFantenna systems simultaneously. Should this situation occur, the first detected fault will bedisplayed on the monitor. It is therefore advisable to check both antenna systems independently inthe event of a failure indication.Section 4 3000DV2 RadiosPage 32
FAULT MEMORY122 The fault memory contains one location for each module. The contents of the memory can beviewed by pressing the memory (MEM) key. Successive MEM key presses display any other storedfaults in rotation.123 Internal faults are displayed on the monitor display as module number and test point number.External faults are displayed as ANT 1, ANT 2, °C, PS, and EbIt indicating VHF transmitter VSWR, UHFtransmitter VSWR, temperature, supply voltage, and an external equipment fault respectively.124 The fault memory is cleared by pressing SHIFT s, RESET.3000DV2 Radios Section 4Page 33

USER MAINTENANCEFILTER CLEANING125 The air filters, fitted to the equipment’s rear panel, should be cleaned every six months (or moreregularly in high dust conditions). The filter is cleaned as follows:(a) Ensure that the equipment has been isolated from the input ac and dc supplies.(b) At the rear of the unit, locate and remove the two screws that secure the fan filter housing tothe rear panel (see Fig. 4).(c) Remove the filter housing, fan EMC screen and filters. Clean the filters either by using a lowpressure air supply or washing in warm water and leaving to dry. If necessary replace with anew filter (PAE Part No. 51-00507867).(d) Refit the filters, fan EMC screen and filter housing.LAMP TEST126 The lamp test allows all the front panel LEDs and lamps to be illuminated simultaneously allowingthe operator to check for unserviceable lamps/LEDs. To carry out the test, press the SHIFT(s) followedby the 0 (zero) key. The test is cancelled by pressing the CE key. Note that this test does not check theAC and DC supply lamps.FREQUENCY ACCURACY CHECK127 The ac accuracy of the transceiver’s and transmitters's frequency can be checked if a suitablefrequency counter and 30 dB attenuator are available. It is recommended the frequency check becompleted every six months as follows:(a) Connect a digital frequency counter, through a 30 dB attenuator, to the VHF (or UHF)antenna connector.(b) At the front panel, select a frequency of 155 MHz (VHF transmitter) or 399 MHz (UHFtransmitter and VHF/UHF transceiver) and key the transmitter. Check that the frequencyindicated on the frequency counter is between 154.999 and 155.001 MHz (VHF) or 398.999and 399.001 MHz (UHF).(c) If the specification in step (b) is not met, reference should be made to PAE.Section 4 3000DV2 RadiosPage 36
