USERS MANUAL
Tactical Electronics Corporation T100 TRANSCEIVER OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 1892 1158 These operating instructions are intended to provide the user with sufficient information to install and operate the unit correctly. The Tactical Electronics T100 transceiver is intended to fulfil the numerous OEM applications by virtue of its highly reliable design , miniature size, and quality manufacture. MOUNTING DETAILS The T100 is intended to fit easily and with minimum space requirements into the user's own equipment housing. The complete module is housed within a tin-plated enclosure and is secured by means of four 10mm self-tapping sheet metal screws which locate in the four corners through the lower screening cover. DO NOT overtighten these screws during assembly. 96.00 (3.8") D TYPE RF CONNECTOR Dimensions in mm (inches) FIXING CENTRES FOR ENCLOSURE (PLAN VIEW) 3.40 (0.134") diameter in 4 places CONNECTION The radio antenna connects by means of a BNC coaxial connector. All other connections to the T100 transceiver are made using a standard 9-way D type connector as detailed in the table below. PIN NAME MOD I/P FUNCTION Modulation input REMARKS To transmitter; Analog (750mV p-p for nominal deviation) or TTL/CMOS compatible (factory set) RX O/P Receiver Output Analog (350mV p-p) or 5V CMOS levels, high ( +5V) when no signal present (factory set) bX bE transmit enable HIGH >2.5V = receive LOW <0.8V = transmitter enabled 0V 0 volts common DC and signal ground + Vin positive supply +10 to +14 V DC Squelch flag output HIGH (+5V, 10kS pull-up) = Signal present LOW (<0.8V) = Signal not present SQF CS RSSI 0V channel select Serial channel select input (RS232 compatible) Received Signal Strength Indicator +1 to +3V DC nominal, 50dB range 0 volts common DC and signal ground OPTIONS Frequency and Channel spacing The T100 is available in both 12.5 and 25kHz channel spacing variants within the following frequency bands: 135 - 140 MHz 150 - 180 MHz 180 - 210 MHz RF connection As well as the standard BNC coaxial connector, the T100 is also available with a SMB or flying lead RF connection. Contact Tactical Electronics Corporation for details. Transmit Power The maximum transmit power of the unit is 2W. This can be adjusted down to 100mW if necessary for differing approved bands of operation. CHANNEL SELECTION & PROGRAMMING The software supplied with the T100 transmitter is the TLSPRG.exe program. The software can be run on a PC with the serial port connected to pin 7 of the transmitter via a suitable adaptor as shown in Figure 1. The unit may be programmed in-situ provided that pin 7 is available. There is no feed-back facility with this circuit, and for this reason, the TLSPRG software repeats the programming three times to eliminate error. This version of software is programmed by a series of 8 byte data packets at 1200 baud. Each packet includes a 16 bit sync code and an 11 bit checksum to eliminate the possibility of spurious programming. Figure 1 Programming adaptor RUNNING THE SOFTWARE Please note that mouse operation is not supported with this program 1. Connect the T100 transceiver to a suitable supply and to the PC using the programming adaptor. 2. Insert the TLSPRG disk into drive A and type: A:TLSPRG3. 4. The user is then prompted to enter the serial port number of his PC which is used to communicate with the TX00 transmitter. Enter 1 or 2. Note: Do not select the port with the mouse connected as this will cause the program to run incorrectly. After the software has successfully loaded the screen displays the following prompts: Enter frequency in MHz? The user can then enter the required operating frequency and then ‘0' to quit. RANGE INFORMATION The following table gives an indication of the typical ranges to be expected between a transmitter and receiver that have simple end-fed dipole antennas. The following assumptions have been made in the calculations: line-of-sight between antennas 0dB gain for the transmitter and receiver antennas 0dB loss for connectors and cables between the antenna and the radio connector 20dB fade and environmental margin -100dBm received signal strength, allowing for digital and analog signals Range versus TX power Frequency (MHz) Power (mW) Power (dBm) Range (km) Range (miles) 173 100mW 20 13.8 8.5 173 500mW 27 30.9 19.1 173 1W 30 43.5 27.0 173 2W 33 61.5 38.2 TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION Frequency of operation Frequency bands Switching bandwidth Channel spacing Number of RF channels RF output power Frequency stability Supply voltage 135 to 210MHz (other frequency bands available) 135 - 140 MHz 150 - 180 MHz 180 - 210 MHz 3MHz within frequency bands 12.5kHz (25kHz available as an option) One, set by PIC micro controller changed by serial channel select 2W nominal at 12V DC ±2.5ppm over temperature range (12.5kHz version) +12V DC nominal (+10 to +14 volts max. range) 50% duty cycle maximum Supply current Transmit : Receive Size Weight Temperature (operating) : Temperature (storage) 600mA typical at 2W 400mA typical at 1W 50mA typical 119 x 57 x 21 mm (l x w x h) including connectors 4.69" x 2.24" x 0.83" (l x w x h) including connectors 120 gms (4.2 oz) -30 to +55 EC standard -30 to +70 CE
