CABABILITY
The TDFM-7000 series of radios are equipped with an Autotest feature that will greatly
reduce the time it takes to align and test the radios performance.
Technisonic has teamed up with Aeroflex to provide the user with advance tools to manage
there fleet of radios.
The TDFM-7000 radios can be tested and aligned quickly with the Aeroflex 3920 Digital
Radio Test Set and optional custom Autotest scripts. Aeroflex offers the custom Autotest
scripts developed specifically for the Technisonic TDFM series of radios.
The Aeroflex 3920 and OPTION 614 (for TYPE I radios) and OPTION 615 (for TYPE II) are
required in order to take advantage of the Autotest feature in the TDFM 7000 radios.
There are several advantages to having the 3920 and the Autotest scripts:
•
The Autotest scripts can greatly reduce the time to align each RF module (typically
~ 6 to 8 minutes). A full alignment can be performed or the "Test and Tune" mode
can test, then only tunes parameters that need to be adjusted- thus speeding up the
process.
•
The Autotest scripts test the radio based on the Technisonic factory specifications
that are listed in a Technisonic configuration file. This configuration file is available
on the TIL web site
www.til.ca
or available on request.
•
The Autotest feature can verify that the RF modules are functioning correctly
without having to reprogram the radio. This is very useful when the programmed
frequencies are not known or if Trunking is programmed and cannot be tested easily
in the field.
•
The Autotest feature can give a Quick "GO/NO GO" of the radio to aid with fault
finding.
•
The Autotest scripts can generate a test log for each RF module. This is very useful
to keep track of the radios health in preventative maintenance.
Contact Technisonic for further instructions on using the Aeroflex 3920 and the Autotest
scripts with the TDFM-7000 transceivers.
