(The exact model number depends on which and how many RF modules are installed.)1.2 DESCRIPTIONThe TDFM-600/6000 series of transceivers are airborne multiband radios capable of conventional FM,P25, Smartnet and Smartzone trunking systems and any other feature supported by the Motorola XTS-3000 portable radio. The modules are available in VHF, UHFLO, UHFHI and 800 MHz bands. The bandsare numbered 1,4,5 and 8 respectively.TDFM-655 -Two UHF high band modulesTDFM-688 -Two 800 MHz modulesTDFM-6148 -One VHF, UHF low and 800 MHz moduleTDFM-6158 -One VHF, UHF high and 800 MHz module1.3 TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICSSpecification CharacteristicModel Designation: TDFM-600/6000Physical Dimensions: Approx. 8" X 3" X 5.75"Weight: 3 Lbs (1.2 kg)Operating Temperature Range: -45ΕC to +60ΕCPower Requirement:Voltage: 28.0 Vdc, ∀ 15%Current: 165mA minimum5A maximumRF Output Power: 1 or 5 WattsFrequency Range - VHF Module: 136 to 178 MHzUHF LO Module: 403 to 470 MHzUHF HI Module: 450 to 512 MHz800 Module: 806 to 870 MHzAudio Output Power (including sidetone): 500 mW into 600 ohmsMicrophone Inputs: Carbon or EquivalentPanel Back Lighting: 28 VDC or 5VAC(specified when ordered)SECTION 2
2-2OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS2.1 GENERALThe TDFM-600/6000 transceiver is designed to operate in the same fashion as the Motorola XTS-3000portable radio. The display has been rearranged into a 2 line display from 4 and some of the numerickeys also double as function keys. Two or three XTS-3000 RF modules are installed in the unit. Thedisplay is showing the activity of one module at a time selected by pressing the desired knob. Theknobs have multiple functions including volume, channel, display dimmer. The microphone, key line andheadphone audio are separate for each of the two or three bands therefore switching from band to bandis performed at an audio panel. This allows for separate and simultaneous operation on each of thebands just like having 2 or 3 separate radios.2.2 FRONT PANELRefer to the diagram below:2.3 POWER SWITCHTo switch the transceiver on, press the left most knob. The transceiver will immediately power up. Thedisplay will show ATECHNISONIC@ and the software version installed followed by the model numberas determined by which RF modules are installed. The display will then show the normal display forband 1. To switch off the transceiver at any time, press and hold the left most knob for 2 seconds untilthe display shows AOFF@ then release.2.4 KNOBSThe transceiver will have two or three knobs depending on how many RF modules are installed. The
2-3knobs are rotary encoders which turn endlessly which means their actual position is not important.Each knob also has a push button incorporated in it so you can press the knob as well as turn it.Pressing a different knob will cause the display and keyboard to switch to the band associated with thatknob. The knob will start out as a volume control. Pressing the same knob again will change its functionto act as the channel/talkgroup selector depending on how that band is programmed. Pressing thesame knob again changes the function of the knob to a display dimmer control. Pressing the knobagain causes the key pad function to change from function keys to number keys. The knob in thismode acts as a volume control. Pressing the knob again brings it back to the first mode of volumecontrol. The current function of the knob is shown at the top right of the display. The function of theknobs of the unselected bands are always volume control.2.5 SOFT KEYS AND HOMEThe transceiver has three Asoft@ keys which assume the function shown above them on the display.The functions displayed depend on how the module was programmed with the radio service software(RSS). Functions can be different on a channel by channel basis as well. These may include:ZONE - Pressing this function will prompt you for a new zone number which can be entereddirectly or scrolled using the UP and DN keys.MUTE - Selecting this function will prompt you for an on or off entry using the soft keys. Tonesrefer to the beeps heard when pressing buttons.VIEW - The view function is used to view lists. Lists can include phone numbers, call lists andor page.CHAN - Pressing CHAN will prompt you for a new channel number. This can be entered via thekey pad or by using the UP and DN buttons. Channel selection can also beprogrammed as one of the rotary knob functions using the RSS.PWR - Selecting PWR will allow the power output of the radio to be set to high or low.PROG - Selecting PROG allows brings you to user programmable features of the radio suchas telephone numbers. The ability for the user to program phone numbers, etc can beenabled or disabled by the RSS.At any time while in one of these functions, you can escape back to the normal mode by pressing theHOME key.2.6 FUNCTION KEYSFour function keys at the top of the keypad provide the same actions as the three side buttons and thetop button found on the XTS-3000 portable. They are as follows:F1 - Top side button (purple button) on the XTS-3000.F2 - Center side button (with one dot) on the XTS-3000.F3 - Bottom side button (with two dots) on the XTS-3000.F4 - Top button (orange button) on the XTS-3000.TDFM-600/6000 Transceiver Recommended Keypad Menu Defaults:

However if custom key settings arechosen it will not be possible for Technisonic to help the Pilot or other Radio User throughoperational difficulties. These questions will have to be referred to the Radio SystemAdministrator responsible for customising the settings. Technisonic recommends that thedefault key settings stay in place until all airframe installation and operational issues have beenovercome.The TDFM-600/6000 series Transceivers are programmable by Motorola Radio Service Software. Thefollowing settings may be programmed for each Channel in a Conventional Radio:Tx Frequency ZoneTx PL/DPL Code ChannelRx Frequency NameRx PL/DPL Code RX Signal Voice TypeTime-Out Timer TX Signal Voice TypeScan List Network Access CodePhone Tx PowerSmart PTTThe following settings must be programmed for each mode in a Trunked (Smart Net or Smart Zone)Radio:System Type TG StrappingSystem ID ZoneIndividual ID Scan List

This equatesto the 16 position rotary knob on the XTS-3000. When one of these keys is pressed, the function of therotary knob is automatically set to MODE.2.8 UP AND DN KEYSThe keys provide the same function as the left and right arrow keys on the XTS-3000. The UP keyequates to the right arrow key. These keys are used for a variety of functions but in the normal modethey are used to scroll through the soft key menus.2.9 BRT AND DIM KEYSUse these keys to dim or brighten the display. The radio powers up at full brightness for normal use butcan be dimmed for night operations.2.10 ESW KEYThe ESW key provides the function of the concentric or >ergo= switch on the XTS-3000. The switchhas two conditions which are represented by >o= and >ι=. Pressing the ESW key toggles the conditionback and forth. The condition is displayed at the bottom of the display, second character from the right.The ergo switch condition is saved when the unit is turned off. There are separate conditions for eachband installed. The ESW key can be programmed with the RSS to a variety of functions such as lowpower, scan, channel, and secure mode.2.11 TSW KEYThe TSW key provides the function of the toggle switch on the XTS-3000. The switch has threeconditions which are represented by >A=,=B= and >C=. Pressing the TSW key toggles the conditionA,B,C,A,B, etc. The condition is displayed at the bottom of the display, last character on the right. Thetoggle switch condition is saved when the unit is turned off. There are separate conditions for each bandinstalled. The TSW key can be programmed with the RSS to a variety of functions such as low power,scan, channel, and secure mode.2.12 DISPLAYThe transceiver has a two line, 48 character LED display which gives information about the selectedband. On the top line is shown the zone number, channel name and rotary knob function. The bottomline displays the soft key menu, the band selected, and the ESW/TSW condition. Also displayed areletters and symbols indicating scan, direct/repeater talk around, monitor, secure, priority and call. Inaddition to the character display, there are two LED indicators on the left. The top LED on the indicatesa signal is being received on the selected band while the bottom LED indicates that any one or moreof the installed bands are transmitting.2.13 GENERAL OPERATION
2-6Switch on the transceiver as described in 2.3. Select the desired band by pressing the appropriateknob. Select the same band on the audio panel. Press the knob again so that MODE shows up on thetop right of the display. Rotate the knob until the desired mode, channel or talk group is selected. Pressthe knob until VOL is again shown on the display. You can adjust the volume by waiting until a signalis received or by pressing F1 (factory programmed for monitor function) and adjusting the rotary knob.The radio is ready to use. Remember that the band selected by pressing the rotary knobs is what isdisplayed on the screen but the band selected by the audio panel is band that you are actuallytransmitting and receiving on. If another band is displayed, the rotary knob for the band you are usingis still operating the volume level. To use the DTMF key pad while transmitting, the band you are usingmust be displayed on the screen.2.14 RADIO SERVICE SOFTWARE (RSS for DOS or CPS for Windows)To make any changes to the programming in the radio, RSS software must be used. There is noprovision in the radio to allow the user to change frequencies, zones, talk groups, etc. RSS softwarecan be purchased from your local Motorola dealer. Along with the RSS, a Motorola Radio Interface Box(RIB) is required to connect the computer to the TDFM-600/6000. Each band in the TDFM-600/6000is considered an XTS-3000 portable by the RSS software. To program a band in the transceiver, it mustbe selected by pressing the appropriate knob before running the RSS. Follow the instructions suppliedwith the RSS and RIB. The radio cable supplied with the RIB will not connect to the TDFM-600/6000,therefore you will need to fabricate or purchase the cable shown below.FIGURE 2-2 Programming CableSECTION 3INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS3.1 GENERALThis section contains information and instructions for the correct installation of the TDFM-600/6000Transceiver.3.2 EQUIPMENT PACKING LOG
