Operation
Operational Description
The Model IDA1000A DC Remote Adapter is for use with base stations or repeaters controlled from a
remote desk set or console by dc line currents. One adapter can interface up to ten dc remote desk sets to
the base station or repeater, depending on the system design.
The Model IDA1000A incorporates all necessary circuit interfacing to translate single-frequency
(5.5 mA) transmit and monitor (-2.5 mA) commands into signals to control base station operation. Where
applicable, F2 transmit (12.5 mA) commands are also supported when used with a two-frequency base
station. Frequency outputs are jumper-selectable for open collector, 5 V pull up, or pull down. The
Model IDA1000A can be programmed to revert to F1 or F2 receive after transmit (see Table 3).
Monitor operation can be either latching or non-latching. The adapter routes audio signals between the
wire line and base station circuitry. Transmit audio from the wire line is amplified before being input to
the station. Receiver audio from the base station is amplified before being output to the wire line.
Five LED function indicators are included on the front panel. When illuminated, they indicate wire line
push-to-talk command, a monitor command, and presence of 5 V dc power. Two LEDs indicate detection
of line current levels of 5.5 mA (
F1
) or 12.5 mA (
F2
).
Front Panel LED Operation
The operation of the IDA1000A DC Remote Adapter front panel LEDs is as follows:
PWR LED
The
PWR
LED illuminates to indicate that the IDA1000A DC Remote Adapter dc power is on.
PTT LED
The push-to-talk LED, labeled
PTT
, illuminates when a valid transmit request has been decoded.
MON LED
The timed or constant monitor LED, labeled
MON
, illuminates when the IDA1000A is in the monitor
mode, and indicates detection of a line current level of -2.5 mA.
F2 LED
The front panel
F2
LED indicates detection of line current level of 12.5 mA (F2). It illuminates to
indicate that the unit is programmed to use the F2 transmit (12.5 mA) command, which is supported when
used with a two-frequency base station.
F1 LED
The front panel
F1
LED illuminates to indicate that the unit is programmed to translate the single-
frequency (5.5 mA) transmit command into signals to control base station operation. The IDA1000A
may be programmed to revert to F1 or F2 receive after transmit.
