T400 TRANSCEIVER
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1892 1144
These operating instructions are intended to provide the user with sufficient information
to install and operate the unit correctly.
The Tactical Electronics T400 synthesized UHF transceiver is intended to fulfil the
numerous OEM applications by virtue of its reliable design, miniature
size and quality manufacture.
INSTALLATION
The T400 is intended to fit easily and with minimum space requirements into the user's
own equipment housing. The complete module is housed in a tin-plated enclosure and
is secured by means of four 10mm sheet metal screws which locate in the four corners
through the lower screening cover. DO NOT overtighten these screws during
installation.
INTERFACE
The radio antenna connects by means of a BNC miniature coaxial connector. All other
connections to the T400 transceiver are made using a standard 9-way D type connector
as detailed in the table below.

Channel spacing
The T400 is available in the channel spacings as detailed in the table. The code
designations form part of the product variant type. This is shown on the label fixed to
the top screening cover of the module.
The T400 is FCC approved for 25Khz. The T400B is FCC approved for 12.5Khz.

RF connection
As well as the standard BNC coaxial connector, the T400 is also available with a SMB
or flying lead RF connection. Contact Tactical Electronics for details.
CHANNEL SELECTION
The software supplied with the T400 transmitter is the TPRG.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 TPRG 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.

RUNNING THE SOFTWARE
Please note that mouse operation is not supported with this program
1.
Connect the TX00 transceiver to a suitable supply and to the PC using the
programming adaptor.
2.
Insert the TPRG disk into drive A and type:
A:TPRG 
3.
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.
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
