The exact model number depends on which and how many RF modules are installed. 1.2 DESCRIPTION The TDFM-600/6000 series of transceivers are airborne multi-band radios capable of operation in conventional analog and P25 digital FM systems, SmartNet/SMART ZONE trunking systems and P25 9600 trunking systems. Type I RF modules are available in VHF, UHFLO, UHFHI and 800 MHz bands. Type II RF modules support additional optional features not available in type I modules and are currently available in VHF, UHFLO, UHFHI and 700/800 MHz. These optional additional features include P25 9600 trunking that may be combined with AES and/or DES-OFB encryption with OTAR in any of the available modules. The factory will only produce radios with all modules of the type I or type II configuration since different Motorola CPS programming software is required for each type of module. It may be possible to retrofit existing type I transceivers with one or more type II modules to support optional features not available on type I modules. Contact Technisonic for details. Irrespective of module type the bands are numbered 1, 4, 5 and 8 respectively. The front panel LED display indicates whether type I or II modules are present upon radio start-up. The transceiver’s part number will also indicate which type of modules it contains. Please see section 1.3 on Model Variation below for details. The following are typical model examples: TDFM-655 TDFM-688 TDFM-6148 TDFM-6158 Two UHF high band modules Two 800 MHz modules One VHF, UHF low and 800 MHz module One VHF, UHF high and 800 MHz module Module numbers are always specified in ascending numerical order. ie/ TDFM-6814 is not available. The one exception to this numbering scheme is the model TDFM-636 which is a VHF transceiver with two type II VHF modules and a 10 watt RF amplifier for each module. 1.3 MODEL VARIATION There are several variations of the Model TDFM-600/6000 Transceiver.

The display is showing the activity of one RF module at a time, selected by pressing the desired knob. The knobs have multiple functions including volume, channel, display dimmer. The microphone, key line and headphone audio are separate for each of the two or three bands therefore switching from band to band is performed at an audio panel such as the Technisonic A710 series. This allows for separate and simultaneous operation on each of the bands just like having 2 or 3 separate radios. If combined operation is desired, a Technisonic AMS-6000 audio mode selector may be used ahead of the audio controller. 2.2 FRONT PANEL Refer to the diagrams below: Figure 2-1 Front panel Controls – TDFM-600/6000 Series Transceivers (not including TDFM-636) 2-1 Figure 2-2 Front panel Controls – TDFM-636 Transceiver Only 2.3 POWER SWITCH To switch the transceiver on, press and hold the left most knob until the radio powers up. The display will show TECHNISONIC and the software version installed followed by the model number as determined by which RF modules are installed. The display will then show the normal display for band 1. To switch off the transceiver at any time, press and hold the left most knob for 2 seconds until the display shows OFF then release. If it is desired that the radio comes on with the radio master in the aircraft, a power jumper may be installed (see installation instructions) such that the radio is always on. 2.4 KNOBS The transceiver will have two or three knobs depending on how many RF modules are installed. The knobs 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 that knob. The knob will start out as a volume control. Pressing the same knob again will change its function to act as the channel/talkgroup selector depending on how that band is programmed. Pressing the same knob again changes the function of the knob to a display dimmer control. Pressing the knob again causes the key pad function to change from function keys to number keys. The knob in this mode acts as a volume control. Another knob press will bring you the recall mode (if this feature is enabled in the configuration menu). Typing in the channel number will bring you quickly to that channel without scrolling through channels in between. Pressing the knob again brings it back to the first mode of volume control. The current function of the knob is shown at the top right of the display. 2-2 The function of the knobs for the unselected bands is always the volume control mode. The starting mode (when the band is selected) of the knob can be programmed in the configuration menu to be VOLUME or CHAN. 2.5 SOFT KEYS AND HOME The transceiver has three soft 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 (CPS)™. 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 entered directly 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 to mute the tones. Tones refer to the beeps heard when pressing buttons. VIEW - The view function is used to view lists. Lists can include phone numbers, call lists and or page. 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 such as telephone numbers. The ability for the user to program phone numbers, etc can be enabled or disabled by the CPS™. FPP – Front Panel Programming mode. Allows you to program channels at the front panel without the customer programming software. This option usually on VHF band 2 (V2) in the TDFM-636 only. At any time while in one of these functions, you can escape back to the normal mode by pressing the HOME key. When programming the modules with the CPS™, it is suggested not to double up functions. For example, programming a soft key to CHAN would be redundant since there is already a channel function using the knobs. Using the CHAN soft key would also not update the channel number on the display, causing some confusion. 2.6 FUNCTION KEYS Four function keys at the top of the keypad provide the same actions as the three side buttons and the top button found on the XTS-3000 or XTS-5000 portable. They are as follows: F1 - Top side button (purple button) on the portable. F2 - Center side button (with one dot) on the portable. F3 - Bottom side button (with two dots) on the portable. F4 - Top button (orange button) on the portable. 2-3 TDFM-600/6000 Transceiver Recommended Keypad Menu Defaults: TDFM-600/6000 Series Transceiver ITEM Portable Conventional Operation SmartNet Operation SMARTZONE Operation F1 Key Top Side Button 1 Monitor Phone Phone F2 Key Center Side Button 2 Scan Scan Scan F3 Key Bottom Side Button 3 Talkaround/ Direct Private Call Site Display/Search F4 Key Orange (Top) Button Emergency Emergency Emergency MUP and MDN keys 16-Position Rotary Knob Channel Select Channel Select Channel Select ESW Key Two-Position Concentric or Ergo Switch Blank (O) Low Power (∅) Blank (O) Low Power (∅) Blank (O) Low Power (∅) Three-Position Toggle Switch Blank (A) Scan (B) Blank (C) Blank (A) Scan (B) Blank (C) Blank (A) Scan (B) Blank (C) TSW Key Note: ITEM It is possible to use Motorola’s Customer Programming Software (CPS™) to alter the default keypad settings of the TDFM-600/6000 series radios. However if custom key settings are chosen it will not be possible for Technisonic to help the Pilot or other Radio User through operational difficulties. These questions will have to be referred to the Radio System Administrator responsible for customising the settings. Technisonic recommends that the default key settings stay in place until all airframe installation and operational issues have been overcome. The TDFM-600/6000 series Transceivers are programmable by Motorola CPS™. The following settings may be programmed for each Channel in a Conventional Radio: Tx Frequency Tx PL/DPL Code Rx Frequency Rx PL/DPL Code Time-Out Timer Scan List Phone Smart PTT Zone Channel Name RX Signal Voice Type TX Signal Voice Type Network Access Code Tx Power 2-4 The following settings must be programmed for each mode in a Trunked (P25 9600, SmartNet or SMARTZONE) Radio: System Type System ID Individual ID Coverage Type Affiliation Type Control Channel 1 Control Channel 2 Talkgroup 1 Talkgroup 2 TG Strapping Zone Scan List Scan Type Interconnect Phone Display Format Private Call Private Call Type Private Call Operation The function keys along with the rest of the key pad, revert to normal number keys during transmit and when NUM LOCK is selected by pressing the rotary knob. 2.7 MUP AND MDN KEYS These keys provide the same function as the rotary knob does when it is set to CHAN. This equates to the 16 position rotary knob on the portable. When one of these keys is pressed, the function of the rotary knob is automatically set to CHAN. 2.8 UP AND DN KEYS The keys provide the same function as the left and right arrow keys on the portable. The UP key equates to the right arrow key. These keys are used for a variety of functions but in the normal mode they are used to scroll through the soft key menus. 2.9 BRT AND DIM KEYS Use these keys to dim or brighten the display. The radio powers up at full brightness for normal use but can be dimmed for night operations. 2.10 ESW KEY The ESW key provides the function of the concentric or ‘ergo’ switch on the portable. The switch has two conditions which are represented by ‘O’ and ‘∅’. Pressing the ESW key toggles the condition back 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 each band installed. The ESW key can be programmed with the CPS™ to a variety of functions such as low power, scan, channel, and secure mode. 2.11 TSW KEY The TSW key provides the function of the toggle switch on the portable. The switch has three conditions which are represented by ‘A’, ‘B’ and ‘C’. Pressing the TSW key toggles the condition A,B,C,A,B, etc. The condition is displayed at the bottom of the display, last character on the right. The toggle switch condition is saved when the unit is turned off. There are separate conditions for each band installed. The TSW key can be programmed with the CPS™ to a variety of functions such as low power, scan, channel, and secure mode. 2-5 2.12 DISPLAY The transceiver has a two line, 48 character LED display which gives information about the selected band. On the top line is shown the zone number, channel name and rotary knob function. The bottom line displays the soft key menu, the band selected, and the ESW/TSW condition. Also displayed are letters and symbols indicating scan, direct/repeater talk around, monitor, secure, priority and call. In addition to the character display, there are two LED indicators on the left. The top LED indicates a signal is being received on the selected band while the bottom LED indicates that any one or more of the installed bands are transmitting. 2.13 GENERAL OPERATION Switch on the transceiver as described in 2.3. Select the desired band by pressing the appropriate knob. Select the same band on the audio panel. Press the knob again so that CHAN shows up on the top right of the display. Rotate the knob until the desired channel or talk group is selected. Press the knob until VOL is again shown on the display. You can adjust the volume by waiting until a signal is 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 is displayed on the screen but the band selected by the audio panel is band that you are actually transmitting and receiving on. If another band is displayed, the rotary knob for the band you are using is still operating the volume level. To use the DTMF key pad while transmitting, the band you are using must be displayed on the screen. 2.14 CUSTOMER PROGRAMMING SOFTWARE (CPS™) To make any changes to the programming in the radio, CPS™ software must be used. There is no provision in the radio to allow the user to change frequencies, zones, talk groups, etc. CPS™ software can be purchased from Motorola Customer Service (see following page). A Motorola Radio Interface Box (RIB) is required to connect the computer to the TDFM-600/6000. Each band in the TDFM-600/6000 is considered a type I (XTS3000) or a type II (XTS-5000) portable by the CPS™ software. To program a band in the transceiver, it must be selected by pressing the appropriate knob before running the CPS™. Follow the instructions supplied with the CPS™ 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 type I programming cable, P/N 013524-1.

The TDFM-636 transceiver employs a front panel programming connector identical to the AMS-6000. The above cables can plug directly into the TDFM-636 front panel. 2-7 2.15 CONFIGURATION MENU Some features of the TDFM-600/6000 transceiver can be configured to the user’s preference. To enter the configuration menu, turn the unit on while simultaneously pressing the F4, ESW and TSW keys. Hold the keys until the display reads ‘Configuration Menu’. The configurable items are: Knob default Rotating the left most knob will toggle the condition between volume and channel. Which ever condition is chosen will be the state of the knob after the radio is switched on or another band is selected. Press the left knob to continue. Vol/Chan mode - Rotating the knob will toggle between Both and Single. If both is selected, the knob will start off in the default condition selected above but the other mode will still be available. If single is selected, only the default mode will be available. If volume is set default and vol/chan mode is single, the channels can still be scrolled using the MUP and MDN buttons on the key board. Press the left knob to continue. Dimmer mode - Used to control the display brightness with the knob. The dimmer function can be either enabled or disabled. If disabled, the BRT and DIM buttons on the key board will still perform the dimmer function. Numlock mode - The numlock mode can be enabled or disabled. Numlock mode is used if you have programmed a feature into one of the RF modules which requires access to number keys while in normal operating mode. Recall mode Recall mode can also be enabled or disabled. Recall mode can be useful when there are many channels programmed such that scrolling through them would be too time consuming. Band 1 channels Rotating the left knob will scroll the numbers up or down through 001 to 255. Set this number to the highest channel number that is programmed into band one. Band 2 channels Same as above for band 2. Band 3 channels Same as above for band 3. (if installed) Auto Reset Can be enabled or disabled. This should normally be set to enabled. This feature automatically reboots an RF module if a problem is encountered. If however a module fails, this feature should be disabled so the radio will stop trying to revive the failed module. Boot Speed Can be set to normal or quick. If quick is selected, some of the boot up messages will be skipped reducing the boot up time. Press the left knob to accept the setting. The radio will then power up normally. The radio will keep these settings until they are changed again by the configuration menu. 2-8 2.16 FLASH UPGRADE MODE On occasion it may be required to flash upgrade one or more of the modules in the radio to change or add new features. This can be done using the Motorola RIB box and software supplied in a Motorola flash upgrade kit. The transceiver must be put into flash upgrade mode by turning on the radio while holding the HOME key. Select the band to be upgraded by pressing the desired band knob. Follow the software instructions. During the flash procedure, the software will ask you to turn off and on the radio, use the RESET soft key, do not turn off the transceiver. 2.17 FRONT PANEL PROGRAMMING (FPP) MODE One of the bands may have the capability to program channel information such as frequencies, PL tones, modulation types, etc from the front panel. ‘FPP’ will show up as one of the soft menu items at the bottom of the screen. When the FPP soft key is pressed, you will be prompt for channel information. Wait until the cursor is flashing then press ‘OK’ for the next input or press ‘QUIT’ to finish and get out of the programming mode. All changes up to that point will be saved. The prompts are as follows: TX Frequency – Enter the desired transmit frequency using the numeric key pad. If the frequency entered is not within band limits or not on proper channel spacing, the frequency will automatically be changed to the closest valid channel. RX Frequency – Enter the desired receive frequency. TX PL – Enter the desired transmit PL tone frequency. After the last digit is pressed the radio will verify that it is a valid frequency and flash the first cursor again. Press ‘OK’ at this time. The transceiver supports all standard PL tones. (Also known as CTCSS tones) TXPL tones are generally used to open repeaters or in talk groups where the receivers are squelch protected by PL tones. Enter ‘000.0’ for no tone. PL tones are used by analog mode only. RX PL – Enter the desired receive PL tone frequency. Enter ‘000.0’ no tone – carrier squelch operation. TX DPL – Enter the desired DPL code. You can not have both a PL and a DPL at the same time. The one that is entered last will turn the other off. A DPL of 000 means off. DPL codes are also known as DCS codes. RX DPL – Enter the receive DPL code as above. TX NAC – Enter the desired transmit P25 NAC code if using digital, otherwise just press ‘OK’. The code is hexadecimal therefore the letters A to F could also be used. Press the ‘A-F’ soft key to use buttons 1-6 as A-F. A NAC or Network Access Code is used like PL tones but are only used by P25 (digital) mode. A value of 293 is considered to be the standard code for open channel. RX NAC – Enter the desired receive P25 NAC code as above. RX TYPE – Select the receive mode using the UP and DN keys – Analog, digital or mixed. Mixed mode will allow the receiver to decode analog and P25 digital signals as needed. TX TYPE – This prompt will only come up if you selected mixed for RX. Select analog or digital. BANDWIDTH – Select 12.5, 20.0 or 25.0 kHz using the UP and DN keys. Bandwidth may also be called ‘Channel Spacing’. CHANNEL NAME – Use the UP and DN keys to scroll to the desired letter and press the NXT soft key to get to the next character. Press ‘OK’ when done. There will be a delay while the channel is saved, then the display will return to normal. 2-9 The following is a list of the standard PL tones: Number 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12 Tone 67.0 71.9 74.4 77.0 79.7 82.5 85.4 88.5 91.5 94.8 97.4 100.0 Number Tone Number Tone 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 103.5 107.2 110.9 114.8 118.8 123.0 127.3 131.8 136.5 141.3 146.2 151.4 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 156.7 162.2 167.9 173.8 179.9 186.2 192.8 203.5 Standard DPL Codes: 017 023 025 026 031 051 053 054 065 071 116 122 125 131 132 156 162 165 172 174 243 244 245 246 251 266 271 274 306 311 346 351 356 364 365 431 432 445 446 452 466 503 506 516 523 612 624 627 631 632 721 731 732 734 743 032 036 043 047 050 072 073 074 114 115 134 143 145 152 155 205 212 223 225 226 252 255 261 263 265 315 325 331 332 343 371 411 412 413 423 454 455 462 464 465 526 532 546 565 606 654 662 664 703 712 754 2-10 SECTION 3 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS 3.1 GENERAL This section contains information and instructions for the correct installation of the TDFM-600/6000 Transceiver. 3.2 EQUIPMENT PACKING LOG Unpack the equipment and check for any damage that may have occurred during transit. Save the original shipping container for returns due to damage or warranty claims. Check that each item on the packing slip has been shipped in the container. 3.3 INSTALLATION The TDFM-600/6000 Transceiver is designed to be dzus mounted and should be installed in conjunction with an IN-600 installation kit. See figure 3-1 for an outline drawing of the unit with dimensions to facilitate the installation. 3.4 INSTALLATION KIT - CONTENTS The IN-600 installation kit (P/N 019301-1) consists of: 1. 2. 3.5 One 25 pin Cannon D mating connector (female) complete with crimp pins and hood. 3 BNC connectors. ANTENNA INSTALLATION The type and number of antennas depends on the model of transceiver being installed. The following is a list of recommended antennas for the various RF modules: VHF UHFLO UHFHI 800 136 403 450 806 to to to to 176 470 512 870 MHz MHz MHz MHz Comant Comant Comant Comant part part part part CI-292 CI-275 CI-275 CI-306 The antenna should be mounted on the bottom of the aircraft whenever possible. Consult with instructions provided with the antenna. Connect the RF cables to the back of the transceiver using the BNC connectors provided in the installation kit. 3-1 FIGURE 3-1 Outline Drawing for Model TDFM-600/6000 3-2 3.6 INSTALLATION - PIN LOCATIONS AND CONNECTIONS J1 - 25 Pin D Connections - Use FEMALE Connector Pin # 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Description Ground Main Power +28 VDC Mic 1 Audio 1 PTT 1 Mic 2 Audio 2 PTT 2 Mic 3 (TDFM-6000 only) Audio 3 (TDFM-6000 only) PTT 3 (TDFM-6000 only) TX Data RX Data Ground Main Power +28 VDC Channel Up Channel Down LH Data SB9600 Busy OPTB+ CTS Out Boot DIN RTSBIN RS232DIN Panel Backlighting TABLE 3-1 3.7 INSTALLATION - WIRING INSTRUCTIONS Figure 3-2 shows all required connections and recommended wire sizes for the TDFM-600/6000 transceiver. 3.8 MAIN GROUND - PINS 1 AND 14 Both pins should be connected to ground. The main ground is internally connected to the chassis. 3.9 MAIN POWER +28 VDC - PINS 2 AND 15 Both pins should be connected to +28 volts DC +/- 15%. 3-3 3.10 MIC 1, 2 AND 3 - PINS 3, 6 AND 9 The microphone input signals shall be connected using shielded wire with the shield connected to ground (pin 1 or 14). It is recommended for best results to leave the other end of the shield floating to prevent ground currents unless you are connecting to an audio panel with floating hi and lo inputs (like the Technisonic A710 or A711 series) in which case the shield must be connected to the lo input. 3.11 AUDIO 1, 2 AND 3 - PINS 4, 7 AND 10 Audio outputs 1, 2 and 3 are 600 ohms impedance against ground. The output power is 500 mW maximum. 3.12 PTT 1, 2 AND 3 - PINS 5, 8 AND 11 The PTT lines should be floating when in receive and grounded for transmit. The input has a pull up resistor to 5 volts. Connecting an audio panel which wishes to see more, may result in no receive audio. Connect a 1N4006 diode in series with the cathode towards the audio panel in this case. 3.13 TX DATA AND RX DATA - PINS 12 AND 13 These are an RS-232 serial port for the RC-6000 remote control head if installed. Consult the RC-6000 installation manual for details. 3.14 CHANNEL UP AND CHANNEL DOWN - PINS 16 AND 17 These pins can be used to scroll up and down through the zone/channel/mode/talk group selections for the band currently displayed on the screen. The inputs normally floating are grounded to activate. Two push buttons or a center off, SPDT, spring loaded toggle switch are typically used on these inputs. 3.15 LH DATA, SB9600 BUSY, OPTB+, CTS OUT, BOOT DIN, RTSBIN AND RS232DIN - PINS 18 THROUGH 24 These pins are used for programming or updating the transceiver using Motorola Radio Service Software (RSS™) or encryption key loading and are generally left unconnected. However, if it is desirable to update the radio without removing it from the aircraft, these lines can be run to a 25 pin D male connector located on the panel where a laptop computer can plug in. Use the same pin numbers so the programming cable described in section 2 can be used (minus the power pins). 3.16 PANEL BACKLIGHTING - PINS 25 Connect to aircraft panel dimming bus. The transceiver comes with either 28 VDC or 5 VAC backlighting circuits. Check the label on the side of the transceiver before applying power. 3.17 POWER JUMPER The radio must be turned on manually each time the avionics bus is switched on. If it is desired that the radio comes on with the radio master in the aircraft, remove the right side panel from the radio and install a 0.1” jumper across JP1 (two pins) near the rear of the radio on the right side of the MCU board. If you attempt to turn off the radio with the jumper installed, it will just come back on again in 5 seconds. 3-4 FIGURE 3-2 Wiring connections and notes for the TDFM-600/6000 Transceiver 3-5 3.18 POST INSTALLATION EMI TEST PURPOSE The purpose of this test is to identify any interference that the TDFM-600/6000 transceiver may cause with existing aircraft systems. TEST CONDITIONS The TDFM-600/6000 transceiver should be installed and function tested. The antenna VSWR should be checked. A forward/reverse power check with a in-line wattmeter should show no more than 10% reflected power. For the following tests, insure that the output power is set to high. METHODOLOGY Most of the EMI tests can be accomplished on the ground. In some cases flight testing is required or is easier. If the aircraft is approved for IFR operations, then it is mandatory that interference between the TDFM-600/6000 transceiver and the approach aids be checked in flight. The GPS should be operational and navigating with at least the minimum compliment of satellites. The VHF comm should be set to the frequencies indicated with the squelch open. VOR/DME receivers should be set to the frequencies indicated and selected for display. If possible, set up a DME ramp test set on the frequencies indicated and adjust the output until the flags are out of view. The transponder and encoder should be monitored with ramp test equipment. Set the output of the transponder test set to 3db above the output necessary to achieve 90% reply. If possible set the ADF to a nearby navigation station. Modulate the TDFM-600/6000 transmitter on the indicated frequencies for at least 20 seconds. Observe the GPS for any degradation in satellite status or availability or flags. Listen for any noise or detected audio signals on the VHF comm(s). Listen for any noise or detected audio signals on the VOR/LOC receiver audio; look for any moment of flags or needles on the VOR/LOC/GS navigation display(s). Observe the transponder for any loss of reply or spurious reply. List the power plant, fuel and other electric instruments in the chart provided and note any anomalies that occur while transmitting. Assess the results. If the aircraft is equipped with an autopilot or a stability augmentation system, then test fly the aircraft and verify that operation of the TDFM-600/6000 transceiver does not have adverse effects on these systems. After checking for gross effects at a safe altitude, fly an approach with each of the different navigation systems coupled to the autopilot (ILS, GPS ETC.) and look for any anomalies. 3-6 RESULTS If the installed system passes all of the applicable EMI tests, then no further action is required. If interference is observed then the interference must be assessed against the appropriate standards of airworthiness for the system in question. For example it is permissible for a VFR certified GPS to lose navigation capability while the TDFM-600/6000 unit is transmitting, providing that it recovers properly and promptly, but it is not permissible for an IFR Approach certified GPS to be affected in the same way. A complete discussion of all the standards of airworthiness to be applied in assessing EMI effects is beyond the scope of this document. PROCEDURE A.
