INTRODUCTION.
This chapter will list in chronological order the steps necessary to operate the TCR-HHR-05
safely and efficiently.
2.1.
System Setup.
Refer to Figures 2-1 for a system block diagram of the TCR-HHR-05.
2.1.1 Position the AN/PRC-148 radio spacers in the horizontal position for AN/PRC-148
radio applications or in the vertical position for AN/PRC-152 radio applications.
2.1.2 Move the radio/PA control mounts to the vertical position and install radios.
2.1.3 Move the mounted radios down until they rest on the base plate for the AN/PRC-152
radios or on the radio spacers for the AN/PRC-148 radios.
2.1.4
Connect the audio, RF and data cables to each radio.
2.1.5 Secure the radios with the straps provided.
2.1.6 Connect AC power cord to the AC power input jack.
2.1.7 Connect the speaker cables to the speaker ports on the rear egress panel.
2.1.8 Connect the dual net speaker (TCR-SPK-02) to the speaker cables.
2.1.9 Connect the dual net handset to the handset connector on the speakers.
2.1.10 Connect data cables as necessary (only USB and KDU interfaces are provided).
Optional data interface cable adapters are required for data interfaces.
2.1.11 Connect antenna cables to the appropriate antenna port.
2.1.12 If applicable, connect power cable to the self-steering SATCOM antenna to the 24
VDC output jack on the egress panel.
2.1.13 If applicable, connect power cable to Radio Over IP router to the 5 VDC output
jack located on the base plate adjacent to the main power switch.
CAUTION
Lid must remain open during operation for adequate cooling
25 watt mode is recommended for normal SATCOM operation
Ensure antenna attached is rated up to 50 watts
Ensure there is adequate antenna and frequency separation to avoid cosite
interference
For best thermal performance, use PA1/PA3 for nets with the highest duty
cycle and PA2/PA4 for nets with the lowest duty cycle
