AMS-6000 Installation and Operating Instructions

•
Pressing a single TX button on the AMS-6000 has no effect since that function is
provided by the main audio controller.
•
Pressing two or more TX buttons will effectively be connecting the two or three bands
together, routing TX and RX audio and PTT to the corresponding positions on the main
audio controller. This selection results in a simulcast and receive condition.
•
The REPEAT function works the same as it does in the combined mode.
2.2.3 Squelch Lights:
The squelch lights will illuminate while a signal is being received. When the signal ceases,
the light will flash for 2 seconds more, giving the operator time to look and see which band
was active. If this feature is not desired, it can be toggled on and off by holding the
REPEAT button and the left RX button while powering up the unit.
2.3 PROGRAMMING
CONNECTOR
(Mini-DIN)
On the front panel of the AMS-6000 is an 8 pin mini DIN socket which provides access to
the TDFM-600/6000 programming lines. Through this connector, channel information can
be uploaded or downloaded to the transceiver. The connector can also be used to upgrade
the firmware in the transceiver modules and load encryption keys into units with encryption
installed. To program channels or upgrade firmware, the Smart RIB cable (figure 2-2) and
Smart RIB should be used with TDFM-600/6000 transceivers with type I modules. TDFM-
600/600 units with type II modules must use Technisonic Cable P/N 047365-1 for
programming channels or upgrading firmware. This cable cannot be fabricated in the field as
it contains internal circuitry. To load encryption keys in units with either type I or type II
modules, the encryption key loading cable P/N 037348-1 must be used with the KVL key
loader. It is possible to purchase a KVL keyloader cable from Motorola and splice on the 8-
pin mini-DIN connector as shown in figure 2-3 below.
