VS4000 Technical Handbook General Information Page 6 Selex ES - Proprietary information P/N: MAN-0974/01 Rev. 01 1.4 MAINTENANCE Maintenance concerns all the actions aimed to maintain or restore the equipment operativity. Maintenance can be preventive (scheduled maintenance) and corrective (unscheduled maintenance). In order to schedule maintenance interventions it is necessary to divide maintenance into levels according to the operations to be carried out. The maintenance levels define the actions and the personnel allowed to carry out the maintenance operations. Three maintenance levels are thus defined:  I: Equipment Maintenance Level.  II: Module Maintenance Level.  III: Component Maintenance Level. For example in a TETRA system we can define:  Equipment: any radio terminal (Hand-held, vehicular or fixed).  Module: a Base Band of TTU400 of the Base Station BS400.  Component: any part of a module (e.g. an IC). A description of the maintenance levels is shown in Tab. 1.2.

VS4000 Technical Handbook General Information Selex ES - Proprietary information Page 9 1.6 SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS Carefully read all of the cautions and warnings before using the vehicular radio: Do not use the radio equipment for uses different than those indicated in the manual. For a correct use of the radio equipment, read what is listed in the user's guide. Protect the radio from sprinklings of water and/or other liquids and from dust. Be careful not to damage the vehicular radio when cleaning the vehicle. Do not place the audio accessories above the airbags or in their area of action. If the airbag is activated, it may not swell correctly and/or hurl the audio accessory, with great force, inside the passenger compartment where the vehicle occupants are located. Do not use the vehicular radio if the antenna and/or the antenna cable are damaged. The electronic devices are sensitive to electromagnetic interference (EMI) if not adequately shielded, designed or configured differently for electromagnetic fields immunity. If electromedical equipment (ex. pace-makers, acoustical equipment, etc.) is used together with the vehicular radio, make sure that it is adequately shielded from external electromagnetic fields. Do not take the radio into environments that have a potentially explosive atmosphere (ex. fuel storage sites, filling stations, etc.).
VS4000 Technical Handbook General Information Page 10 Selex ES - Proprietary information P/N: MAN-0974/01 Rev. 01 Install the vehicular radio following the instructions given in the installation guide. The mounting screws can damage cables and wires that run under some mounting surfaces in the vehicle. Be careful to avoid mounting the bracket above these locations. The equipment must be installed in such a way that it complies with the national regulations in effect. Carry out the maintenance interventions on the vehicular radio following the instructions given in this technical handbooks. Follow all accident prevention standards when carrying out maintenance interventions on the vehicular equipment and use the proper tools (spanners, screwdrivers,…..). First and second maintenance level interventions on the equipment are to be carried out by authorized technicians only. Third maintenance level interventions are to be carried out by Selex technicians only. The maintenance levels are defined in this technical manual. Use only original accessories and spare parts, or approved by the manufacturer, suitable for the vehicular radio. The use of different accessories and/or spare parts (earphone, antenna, etc.) makes the safety and electromagnetic compatibility certifications to be valid no more and it could lower the user safety level and/or generate electromagnetic fields that exceed the accepted limits. WARNING After the radio has been trasmitting for a long period, it may reach high temperatures: in such a case avoid touching the radio shell. The emergency call is a priority type call. The vehicular radio, like all mobile telephony equipment, operates with radio frequency signals, therefore, the forwarding of the call depends on the network coverage at the moment of the call.
VS4000 Technical Handbook General Information Selex ES - Proprietary information Page 11 If you need send an emergency call, keep pressed the emergency button for at least 2 seconds, when the radio is switched on. Relating on the radio setting (from PRP), two cases may occur if the trasmission is inhibit: a) the emergency call is not sent; it is necessary to disable the Tx Inhibit founction from radio menu to foward a call (even if the call is an emergency call). b) the emergency call is sent and automatically the Tx Inhibit function is disabled; from radio menu it is possible to recover the Tx Inhibit function again The radio complies with all product specifications and great care is taken by the manufacturer so that user safety, as far as the effects of electromagnetic waves on health are concerned, is guaranteed within the limits established by the international specifications.

These techniques are meant to find out failures that cause a bad functioning of the equipment. The information given in this manual takes into consideration the fact that all the III level maintenance operations will be done only by the Selex ES assistance technicians. The descriptions of the replacement procedures which can be done by the purchaser are detailed in section 7 of this technical manual. 6.1 INTRODUCTION The troubleshooting procedures are shown in flow diagrams (see par. 6.3.1). The tests to be carried out by the use of the Radio Test Set on the radio terminal VS4000 are described in chapter 6.2. These tests are aimed to find out whether or not the equipment works correctly, under a radio point of view. If not, it must be sent to the Selex ES assistance centre.
VS4000 Technical Handbook Troubleshooting Page 48 Selex ES - Proprietary information P/N: MAN-0974/01 Rev. 01 6.2 RADIO TESTS WITH THE RADIO TEST SET 6.2.1 Tests with Radio Test Set To carry out the Power Test and the Sensitivity Test on the radio terminal, you need a TETRA RADIO TEST SET (IFR) with the power supply cable and a TNC cable, as well as the radio terminal to be tested. Note Several functions can be active on the TETRA TEST SET, depending on the release. To carry out the test:  turn off the RADIO;  disconnect the antenna from the RADIO and replace it with the TNC cable;  connect the other end of the TNC cable to the TETRA RADIO TEST SET; turn on the TETRA RADIO TEST SET (see Fig. 6.1). Note If the radio terminal to be tested is a portable one (Puma T2/T3), connect to the test set on the most sensitive RF connector (1W); to select this connector, press the “RF select” button; the two leds next to the connection selected will light up. By default, the Tetra Radio Test Set sets itself on the least sensitive RF connection (150 W), signaling it with the lighting up of the relative leds; this connection should be used in all cases in which the radio to be tested supplies a maximum power greater than 1 Watt. 1 RF connection 150 W 2 Led signaling RF connection, 150 W 3 RF connection 1 W 4 Led signaling RF connection, 1 W 5 “RF select” button 6 Adjustment knob 7 “Enter” keys 8 Display 9 Keys to the left of screen 10 Keys to the right of screen 11 Keys under screen Fig. 6.1: Tetra Radio Test Set
VS4000 Technical Handbook Troubleshooting Selex ES - Proprietary information Page 49 When the TETRA RADIO TEST SET is turned on, a screen appears on the display with the initials IFR; the test set saves the data relative to the last test carried out in the memory. By default, the TETRA RADIO TEST SET sets itself in analog mode; to select digital mode, press the ”SYSTEMS” key (see Fig. 6.2) to load the TETRA protocol. Fig. 6.2: SYSTEMS key Before carrying out the test, it is necessary to know which channels are set on the terminal (setting from PRP). Even if there is more than one channel set, it is sufficient to consider just one of them for the purposes of the test. When the “TETRA MOBILE” key is pressed from among the keys to the right of the display (see Fig. 6.3) and, subsequently, when the key in correspondence to “SET-UP” is pressed (from among the keys to the left of the display), a screen appears on the display that allows visualizing “SYSTEM PARAMETERS”; press the “CHANNEL PLAN” key to carry out the search for the reference frequency of the terminal being tested (see Fig. 6.4). Fig. 6.3: System selection
VS4000 Technical Handbook Troubleshooting Page 50 Selex ES - Proprietary information P/N: MAN-0974/01 Rev. 01 Fig. 6.4: Channel selection Once the frequency has been found, confirm it by pressing the key that corresponds to the operating frequency of the terminal from among those located to the right of the display; the test set finds the frequency band and, when the “CONTROL CHANNEL” button is pressed, shows all of the available parameters. Enter the value of the parameters using the numeric pad (see Fig. 6.5). Fig. 6.5: DATA keys For example:  Control Channel: 2496;  Traffic Channel: 2496;  Time slot: 3 (select from 1 to 4);  Mobile Country Code: 420 (that of the terminal);  Mobile Network Code: 00005 (that of the terminal);  Base Color Code: (Not useful for carrying out the test).
VS4000 Technical Handbook Troubleshooting Selex ES - Proprietary information Page 51 Note If the frequency band of the terminal under test does not appear among those available to the test set, proceed by creating a personal “SET UP” to insert it (see IFR manual relative to the TETRA TEST SET). Press any one of the red “ENTER” keys to confirm data entry (see Fig. 6.6) Fig. 6.6: Red “ENTER” keys Note It is possible to obtain confirmation (ENTER) by pressing any one of the red keys only when you are not required to press a specific key (ENTER) relative to the required measurement unit. Note It is possible to reduce the frequency search time through the “BASE COLOUR CODE” item only when several groups of cells are found under the same area. Once the values relative to the first group of essential parameters have been entered (which are highlighted on the display), press the “MORE” key to highlight the second group of parameters, in order to be able to enter the values relative to these also.  min Rx level for access: -110 dBm (indicates the minimum signal level coming from the BS in order that it be considered by the radio terminal);  max Tx level: 30 dBm (corresponds to the maximum signal level transmitted by the terminal: 1 W for portable terminals; 10 W for vehicular/fixed terminals);  access parameters: -39 dBm (this value is given by a relation involving two parameters, C1 and C2, to determine passage from cell to cell);  the other parameters in this second group are not useful for carrying out the test in question.
VS4000 Technical Handbook Troubleshooting Page 52 Selex ES - Proprietary information P/N: MAN-0974/01 Rev. 01 Press the “MORE” key again to access the parameters of the third and last group; none of these are useful for carrying out the test. Note If the parameters of the first group are not entered, the test set remains in “wait mode”; if, instead, the parameters of the second group are not entered, the test set operates anomalously; finally, the parameters of the third group do not influence the test in any way. A screen divided into two parts (see Fig. 6.7) appears on the RADIO TETRA TEST SET display:  MANUAL TEST: groups all of the settings given previously  MODE : groups all test values Fig. 6.7: “Manual Test” and “Mode”
VS4000 Technical Handbook Troubleshooting Selex ES - Proprietary information Page 53 Now turn on the terminal to be tested; it begins to search and then registers itself with its identifier (ITSI), which will appear on the display. When “CALL MOBILE” is pressed, the test set sends a call to the terminal under test; when the terminal accepts the call, it is possible to check the “MODE” data on the test set.  Power Profile: ( “Passed” must appear).  Other parameters are (see Tab. 6.1) “Burst Power” (it can be expressed in dBm or mW), “Timing Error” (indicates the number of symbols read erroneously), “Frequency Error” (frequency error) and “Vector Error” (referred to the vector (symbol) transmitted; the mean error (RMS), the peak error (PEAK and the residual error (RESIDUAL) are specified). Even if only one of the parameters does not comply with the ETSI standard (see Tab. 6.1), “Passed” does not appear next to “Power Profile”. Tab. 6.1: Parameters Phase Action Expected result 1 After the antenna has been disconnected, connect the terminal to the Tetra Test Set as explained in this chapter of the manual. None. 2 Carry out the necessary settings on the Tetra Test Set (selection of the TETRA environment, selection of transmission mode, operating frequency, etc.) to pick up the carrier. If the Tetra Test Set settings are correct, it receives and demodulates the radio terminal carrier.

VS4000 Technical Handbook Troubleshooting Page 54 Selex ES - Proprietary information P/N: MAN-0974/01 Rev. 01 In these tests, the TETRA TEST SET simulates the TETRA network. Power Test When the “CALL MOBILE” button is pressed on the test set, a call is forwarded to the terminal being tested. After having pressed the “RF GEN” button, vary the field using the adjustment knob (see Fig. 6.8), weakening it and thus forcing the terminal to increase the transmitted power until reaching its MAX power (1 W for portable terminals, 10 W for vehicular/fixed terminals). The change in the fluctuating values (in dBm) will be noted in correspondence to “RX GEN LEVEL”. Sensitivity Test The DYNAMIC SENSITIVITY tests are not carried out in the lab; for this reason, we refer here to STATIC SENSITIVITY. When the “CALL MOBILE” button is pressed on the test set, a call is forwarded to the terminal under test. After having pressed the “RF GEN” button, use the adjustment knob (see Fig. 6.8) to bring the signal to -112 dBm, starting from a higher value (for example, -90 dBm). The call, previously forwarded to the terminal, must remain active up to the value of -112 dBm; to guarantee this, the terminal under test will bring itself to the MAX power value transmitted (1 W for portable terminals and 10 W for vehicular/fixed terminals). At the end of the test, the operator, besides having carried out the POWER and SENSITIVITY TESTS, also verifies the accuracy of all of the radio terminal parameters. Note The POWER and SENSITIVITY TESTS are closely correlated; in fact, the power is controlled by varying the sensitivity and vice versa. Fig. 6.8: Adjustment knob
