2.1 Installation Steps
Below are the basic steps for installing the transceiver. In most cases,
these steps alone are sufficient to complete the installation. More
detailed explanations appear at the end of these steps.
1. Mount the transceiver to a stable surface using the brackets supplied
with the radio.
2. Install the antenna and antenna feedline for the station. Connect the
feedline to the radio and preset directional antennas in the appropri-
ate direction.
3. Connect the data equipment to the transceiver’s
INTERFACE
connec-
tor. Typical applications require the use of only Pins 1 through 8 for
RS-232-type signaling. When using an external modem (4-wire
audio arrangement), only Pins 7, 9, 11 and 16 are typically required.
Additional connections may be required for some installations.
Refer to the complete list of pin functions provided in Table 5 on
page 11.
4. Measure and install the primary power for the radio. The red wire on
the power cable is the positive lead; the black is negative.
NOTE:
The radio is designed for use only in negative ground systems.
5. Set the radio configuration. The transceiver is designed for quick
installation with a minimum of software configuration required in
most cases. The selections that must be made for new installations
are:
• Transmit frequency
• Receive frequency
The operating frequencies are not set at the factory unless they were
specified at the time of order. Determine the transmit and receive fre-
quencies to be used, and follow the steps below to program them. It
is always best to verify the frequencies using the steps below. (See
Figure 4 on page 4 for the frequency range of your radio.)
a. Connect a hand-held terminal (HHT) to the
DIAGNOSTICS
con-
nector. When the HHT beeps, press
to receive the ready
“>” prompt.
b. Set the operating frequencies using the
TX xxx.xxxxx
(transmit)
and
RX xxx.xxxxx
(receive) commands. Press
. After pro-
gramming, the HHT reads
PROGRAMMED OK
to indicate success-
ful entry.
