Modes of Operation
The transceiver may be operated in either of two modes; transmit or receive, as selected by the
Press-to-Talk (PTT) switch on the microphone:
(1)
Transmit Mode - When the PTT switch on the microphone is depressed, the transceiver
will operate in the transmit mode. The PTT signal line is grounded by the microphone
switch via the microphone lead and the MIC/PTT connector to the transceiver. The Tx
ON yellow LED will go “ON”, indicating that the transmitter is activated.
Transmission will occur on one of the six preset channel frequencies, determined by the
setting of the CHANNEL SWITCH. The appropriate CHANNEL INDICATOR green LED
1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6, will be ON, indicating the channel selected.
(2)
Receive Mode - When the PTT switch on the microphone is released, the transceiver will
operate in the receive mode. The Tx ON yellow LED will go OFF, indicating that the
transmitter is de-activated. Reception on one of the six preset channel frequencies, as
selected by the CHANNEL SWITCH will occur.
The appropriate CHANNEL INDICATOR green LED 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6, will be ON,
indicating the channel selected. The setting of the SQUELCH CONTROL determines the
squelch threshold level. When the SQUELCH CONTROL is adjusted in the counterclockwise direction, the SQUELCH INDICATOR green LED will go ON, indicating that the
squelch circuit is connecting the demodulated audio to the VOLUME CONTROL. The
setting of the VOLUME CONTROL determines the audio level produced from the internal
loudspeaker. When the VOLUME CONTROL is adjusted in the clockwise direction, the
audio level will increase.

SECTION 2 – CHANNEL FREQUENCY SELECTION AND PROGRAMMING
2.1
INTRODUCTION
Transceiver Model 90-6R/8.33, Part Number 861605-2 Option 8.33, as shipped from the factory,
is preprogrammed with test frequencies. Before programming any other frequencies, perform an
operational check on Channel 1, as outlined in paragraph 2.6. If there is any operational
deficiency or equipment malfunction, the transceiver is to be returned to the manufacturer,
Technisonic Industries Limited, under warranty. Before installation in a vehicle, it is necessary to
pre-program the desired operating frequencies for each channel to be used at the particular
airport.
2.2
FREQUENCY RANGE
The transceiver may be programmed for up to six frequencies over the frequency range
117.9750MHz to 138.000MHz with 8.33kHz or 25kHz channel spacing.
2.3
PREPARATION
A personal computer is required to program frequencies into the transceiver channel memories.
Refer to document 01RE291 for detailed instructions on TDP-90 software installation and
operation.
A programming cable, TiL Part No. 013508-1, must be temporarily connected from header jack J4
inside the radio to the computer serial port. To gain access to J4, perform the following:
(1)
Place the transceiver on a bench with the top cover of the transceiver located on the
bench and the bottom cover exposed.
(2)
Remove and retain twelve Philips Pan Hd Screws 4-40 X 1/4in. lg and No.4 Lockwashers
securing the bottom cover to the main chassis of the transceiver.
(3)
Remove and retain the bottom cover.
(4)
Locate J4 on the Programmable Frequency Set Board.
(5)
Connect the 10 pin (female) block connector of the supplied Data Cable (TiL Part No.
013508-1) to J4. Plug the 9 pin (female) D connector end of the cable to an available
Serial (COM) Port on your PC. A 9 pin serial extension cable may be required if the
transceiver is more than a few feet away from the computer.

2.4
FREQUENCY SELECTION
For radio units shipped after Jan 2012 and equipped with a USB port, please refer to Appendix A
(TiL TDP-90 Programming Software for USB Programmable AM Series Transceivers) for
Installation and Operating Instructions - Document 11RE439).
Determine the number of channels to be used and the specific frequency of each channel for the
particular transceiver being worked on. Prepare a list of channel number and frequencies to be
preprogrammed.
The transceiver is capable of 25 kHz spacing (wide band) and 8.33 kHz spacing (narrow band)
channels. The frequency entered will determine whether the channel will be wide or narrow
mode, based on the Combined 8.33 kHz/25 kHz ICAO Frequency-Channel Pairing Plan. For
example if you program 118.000 into a memory, the transceiver will operate on 118.000 MHz in
wide band mode. If you program 118.005 into a memory, the transceiver will operate on 118.000
MHz in narrow band mode. For the most part, this will be transparent to the user since a
frequency will be issued in the ICAO format and the radio will select wide or narrow mode. Refer
to the chart below.

INSTALLATION - INTRODUCTION
The following gives the basic installation information for units of VHF/AM Mobile Transceiver
System 860605 in a typical airport service vehicle. As there are many types of vehicles in use,
some may require "tailor made" installation information.
2.8
TRANSCEIVER LOCATION
The first consideration when planning an installation in a vehicle is the location of the transceiver.
The transceiver is normally located under the dashboard of a vehicle with the transceiver
supported under the mounting bracket, as shown in Figure 1.2. Where space under the
dashboard is limited, the transceiver could be supported above the mounting bracket, the reverse
of Figure 1.2.
Consideration should also be given to allowing sufficient space behind the transceiver for the
length of the antenna connector and the power supply connector when they are mated to the
transceiver connectors.
2.9
VEHICLE POWER SUPPLY
Having determined the location of the transceiver, the point of connection to the vehicle power
supply may be chosen. The transceiver will operate from a 12 or 24 volts dc nominal power
supply with negative ground, which must be taken from a fused power source with a minimum of
5-ampere fuse in circuit. The transceiver will tolerate an input voltage over the range 11.0 to 15.0
Vdc.

POWER INPUT CABLE ASSEMBLY
Using Power Input Cable Assembly, Part Number 863701, as shown in Figure 1.3, route the
unterminated end of the cable from the transceiver location to the point of connection to the fused
vehicle power supply. The three-metre cable may be cut to length as required. Coiling of excess
cable is NOT recommended. Strip the outer covering from the end of the cable, prepare the
individual wire ends, and fit suitable terminals. Connect the red wire to the positive supply (fused),
and connect the black wire to the negative supply ground.
2.11
ANTENNA ASSEMBLY
Antenna Assembly, Part Number 861910-1, is supplied as a kit which includes an installation
leaflet. The antenna is shown assembled in Figure 1.5.
2.12.1 ANTENNA LOCATION
The antenna location is a very important factor in determining the performance of the system. The
antenna may be mounted on any flat surface, roof, cowl, fender or rear deck of the vehicle,
however, rooftop mounting is recommended for best performance.
2.12.2 ANTENNA INSTALLATION
Having determined the location of the antenna, route the unterminated end of the antenna RF
cable from the transceiver location. Using the antenna installation leaflet, follow the step-by-step
instructions, and install the antenna. Any excess length of antenna RF cable should be cut-off
before connection to the antenna.
2.13
MOUNTING BRACKET INSTALLATION
Mounting Bracket, Part Number 913053-1, should be installed in the transceiver location using
Qty 4 Screws, Self-Tapping, Hex Hd with slot and shoulder No. 12 x3/4in. included in Mounting
Hardware Kit, Part Number 869024-1. Refer to Figure 1.2 for a view of the transceiver with
mounting bracket.
Using the mounting bracket as a template; on the mounting surface, mark the centre of each of
the four slotted mounting holes, and drill a pilot hole using a No. 19 drill or equivalent (actual pilot
hole size depends on the thickness of metal of mounting surface). Locate mounting bracket in
position, and secure using the screws provided.
2.14
TRANSCEIVER INSTALLATION
Locate the transceiver in its approximate position, connect the antenna connector, and power
cable connector to the appropriate connectors located at the rear of the transceiver.
Locate the transceiver into mounting bracket, and screw to bracket using two wing screws and
nylon washers included in Mounting Hardware Kit, Part Number 869024-1. Adjust angle of
transceiver as required, before tightening the two wing screws.

MICROPHONE INSTALLATION
Refer to Figure 1.4 for a general view of the microphone and retaining bracket. Determine a
suitable and convenient location for Retaining Bracket and secure it using appropriate hardware
(not provided). Connect the connector of Microphone, Part Number 961070-1 to the MIC/PTT
connector located on the front panel of the transceiver.
2.16
OPTIONAL EXTERNAL LOUDSPEAKER OR HEADPHONE
Provision is made for connection of either an external loudspeaker or headphone to the
SPEAKER/PHONE jack of the transceiver, as shown in Figure 4.1.
2.16.1 EXTERNAL LOUDSPEAKER
When an external loudspeaker is to be installed, an 8-ohm nominal impedance loudspeaker
should be used. The loudspeaker cable should be terminated by a 1/4 in., 3-pole telephone plug
(male), with the loudspeaker connected between tip and sleeve (ground). The External
loudspeaker connector should be connected to the SPEAKER/PHONE jack located on the front
panel of the transceiver. When the external loudspeaker connector is connected to the
transceiver SPEAKER/PHONE jack, the internal loudspeaker is automatically disconnected.
2.16.2 HEADSET
When a headset is to be used, the headset impedance should be 150 to 600-ohms. The headset
cable must be terminated by a 1/4in., 3-pole telephone plug (male), which mates with the
SPEAKER/PHONE jack located on the front panel of the transceiver. When connected, the
internal loudspeaker is automatically disconnected. The headset may be connected as detailed in
(1) for receiver audio with no transmit sidetone audio, or (2) for receiver audio with transmit
sidetone audio.
(1) HEADSET WITH NO TRANSMIT SIDETONE AUDIO
When receiver audio only with no transmit sidetone audio is required, the headset should be
connected between the tip and sleeve (ground) of the telephone plug.
(2) HEADSET WITH SIDETONE AUDIO
When receiver audio with transmit sidetone is required, the headset should be connected
between the tip and sleeve (ground) with a resistor (located inside the plug) connected between
the tip and ring of the telephone plug. The function of the resistor is to reduce the transmit
sidetone audio level to a suitable listening level. The value of the resistor is determined by the
headset impedance and desired listening level. When a 600-ohm impedance headset is used, the
value of the resistor should be approximately 10 kilohms. For headsets with lower impedance the
resistor value may be different but must not be less than 240-ohms.
2.17
OPERATIONAL CHECK
Perform an operational check of the transceiver, checking each channel in use in both the
transmit and receive modes of operation, using the Operating instructions given in Section 3 of
this document and the appropriate specified operating procedures during transmission.
