DDU-300 Manual Rev. 2006.02.22

 

2 OVERVIEW 

The DDU provides the optimal ANI display decoder 
solution for small and medium sized radio systems 
such as those used by taxi fleets, police departments, 
construction crews, etc. 

The last 10 ANI's received can be reviewed at any 
time. It can store up to 137 aliases in its user 
database. The user friendly menu system makes it as 
easy to use as a cell phone. Additional features 
include emergency status display and the ability to 
automatically mute incoming leading ANI's. 

In addition to the decode features, the DDU-300 offers 
fleet management functions including selective calling 
of units, over the air reprogramming (OTAR), and the 
ability to disable units remotely. 

3 INSTALLATION 

INSTRUCTIONS 

Installation Note:  Midian products utilize CMOS integrated 
circuits, which are susceptible to damage from high static 
charges.  Be sure to follow standard antistatic procedures 
when handling, including using grounded workstations and 
soldering irons and wearing grounding bracelets.

NTERFACE

 

 

Radio Interface connector P1 is an 8-pin 
RJ-45 style connector in the center of the 
back panel. 

 

+V IN (P1-5) [Red] 

The DDU can be powered either by an optional wall 
transformer or by the radio power supply. Connect this 
wire to the radio power source provided it is between 
12 and 15 VDC. 

If using a wall transformer, make sure the voltage is 
between 12 and 15 VDC and the current rating is at 
least 800mA. Also, be certain that positive is 
connected to the inside ring. 

 

GROUND (P1-6) [Black] 

Connect to radio ground. 

 

AUDIO INPUT/RX IN (P1-8) [Blue] 

Connect to a point in the radio where receive audio is 
present at a constant level. If using PL or CTCSS, be 
sure to connect to a point after the CTCSS high pass 
filter. If using the Squelch Output of the DDU, be sure 
the RX audio point is not muted when the squelch 
output to the radio is asserted. 

 

AUDIO OUTPUT/TX OUT (P1-4) [Green] 

Connect to the mic-hi input of the radio. The output 
impedance of the DDU can be adjusted if necessary 
by replacing leaded resistor R81 with an appropriate 
value. 

 

PTT OUTPUT (P1-3) [Yellow] 

This connection is only required if the DDU is 
equipped with a microphone or handset.  

This open collector output provides a ground to key-up 
the radio when transmitting. If connecting to a relay in 
the radio, make sure the coil is bypassed with a diode 
to eliminate counter-EMF. 

This output may also be assigned to be the repeater 
access control output. See REPEATER SETUP for 
more information. 

 

COR INPUT (P1-1) [Gray] 

This connection is only required if using the internal 
speaker auto-mute feature, busy lockout, or repeater 
access control. 

Connect to a point in the radio squelch or CTCSS 
circuit that changes logic level when carrier (or 
CTCSS) is detected. A radio whose circuitry provides 
a logic-low or logic-high can readily turn Q1 on and off. 
If only a high level is provided, it may be necessary to 
move R40 from its pull-up to its pull-down position.  

 

MONITOR OUTPUT (P1-7) [Orange] 

This optional output can be used to control the monitor 
function of the radio using the <MONITOR> button on 
the DDU. This is an open collector output which 
changes state each time the <MONITOR> button is 
pressed. 

This output may also be assigned to be the repeater 
access control output. See REPEATER SETUP for 
more information. 

 

SQ OUT/LTR IN (P1-2) [Brown] 

This wire may be either a Squelch Output or a 
Trunking Delay (LTR) input, but not both. To use as a 
squelch output, install jumper R85 and make sure 
jumper JU5 is not installed. To use as a trunking delay 
input, remove R85 and install JU5. 

When used as a Squelch Output, connect to a point in 
the radio which will mute the speaker when  brought to 
ground (or left floating). Program the appropriate 
polarity in the RADIO SETUP menu. 

When used as an LTR Trunking Delay Input, connect 
to a point in the radio which goes from 0 to 5 VDC 
when a channel has been acquired on the LTR
