Detailed instructions are given in “INSTALLA- TION” on page 9 of this guide. 1. Install and connect the antenna system to the radio • Use good quality, low loss coaxial cable. Keep the feedline as short as possible. • Preset directional antennas in the direction of desired transmission. 2. Connect the data equipment to the radio’s INTERFACE connector • Connection to the radio must be made with a DB-25 Male connector. Connections for typical sys- tems are shown below. • Connect only the required pins. Do not use a straight-through RS-232 cable with all pins wired. • Verify the data equipment is configured as DTE. (By default, the radio is configured as DCE.) 3. Apply DC power to the radio (10.5–16 Vdc @ 2.5 A minimum) • Observe proper polarity. The red wire is the positive lead; the black is negative. 4. Set the radio’s basic configuration with a Hand-Held Terminal (HHT) • Set the transmit frequency ( TX xxx.xxxx ). • Set the receive frequency ( RX xxx.xxxx ). • Set the baud rate/data interface parameters as follows. Use the BAUD xxxxx abc command, where xxxxx equals the data speed (110–38400 bps) and abc equals the communication parameters as follows: a = Data bits (7 or 8) b = Parity (N for None, O for Odd, E for Even c = Stop bits (1 or 2) (Example: BAUD 9600 8N1 ) NOTE: 7N1, 8E2 and 8O2 are invalid parameters and are not supported by the transceiver. 5. Verify proper operation by observing the LED display • Refer to Table 4 on page 14 for a description of the status LEDs. • Refine directional antenna headings for maximum receive signal strength using the RSSI command.

All antenna installation and servicing is to be performed by qualified technical personnel only. When servicing the antenna, or working at distances closer than those listed below, ensure the transmitter has been disabled. Output is measured at the antenna terminal of the transmitter. The antenna(s) used for this transmitter must be fixed-mounted on outdoor permanent structures to provide the minimum separation distances described in this filing for satisfying RF exposure compliance requirements. When applicable, RF exposure compliance may need to be addressed at the time of licensing, as required by the responsible FCC Bureau(s), including antenna co-location requirements of ‘1.1307(b)(3). 2. Typically, the antenna connected to the transmitter is a directional (high gain) antenna, fixed-mounted on the side or top of a building, or on a tower. Depending upon the application and the gain of the antenna, the total composite power could exceed 200 watts EIRP. The antenna location should be such that only qualified technical personnel can access it, and that under normal operating conditions no other person can touch the antenna or approach within 3 meters of the antenna.

The transceiver board is mounted within a die-cast aluminum housing. A die-cast aluminum top cover completes the enclosure assembly, providing a well-shielded enclosure. Power, interface and antenna connections are made via connectors on the front face of the transceiver package. DC power may be supplied to the transceiver from any suitable DC source capable of supplying 13.8 VDC nominal at a maximum of 2.5 Amperes. The DC power source should be current limited or have a protective fuse or circuit breaker. 5 2.0 Description of Device Operation 2.1 General Operation The MDS 9710 Data Transceiver is a narrow band radio designed to operate on 12.5 kHz. channels, meeting the requirements of FCC Part 2, FCC part 15 and FCC Part 90. 2.2 Description of Circuit Functions The following is a summary of the operation of the MDS 9710 Transceiver. Refer to Figure 1, the block diagram, and to the schematics, to follow the discussion. 2.2.1 Receiver Receive Front End Connector J301 on the main PWB board conducts the RF signal from the front panel antenna connector to the antenna switch network. In the receive mode, one port of the antenna switch conducts the receive signal to the input of helical filter FL300. The output of FL300 is fed to RF amplifier Q302, whose output goes to helical filter FL302. Each helical front-end filter has a 25 MHz 1 dB bandwidth, and are down approximately 20 dB at ±100 MHz. The output of FL302 output goes to M301, a double-balanced mixer whose local oscillator injection voltage is derived from the VCO U307. High IF The 82.2 MHz High IF signal from M301 enters IF amplifier transistor Q301, whose output goes to FL308 and FL303, a dual SAW filter which provides part of the IF selectivity of the receiver. The output of FL303 is connected to U302, which contains the Low IF amplifier and other functions. Low IF U302 contains several circuit sections: mixer, oscillator, IF amplifier / limiter, quadrature detector and meter drive. The oscillator section of U302 uses crystal Y301and associated components to set the second oscillator frequency at 81.745 MHz. The 455 kHz output of the second mixer is fed to a ceramic filter set consisting of FL307 and FL309. This filter set provides the main adjacent channel selectivity of the receiver. 6 The output of FL309 is fed to the limiter amplifier input pin of U302. The limiter output is fed to a quadrature detector circuit tuned by FL301; audio recovered from the detector appears on Pin 8 of U302. A secondary output of the IF subsystem at Pin 5 of U302 gives a received signal strength indication (RSSI) voltage. Digital Signal processing Audio processing The unfiltered recovered audio from the IF detector passes through amplifier U201 to an A/D converter U205 and then processed by the DSP U202 to decode the digital information. RSSI Processing The unfiltered RSSI from the IF detector passes through a low pass filter to a monolithic internal A/D converter built within the 68HC11 micocontroller U101. A scaled version of the RSSI signal is output though the D/A converter U203 connected to the DSP U202. 2.2.2 Power Supply The + 14 volt (nominal) DC input appears when an external power source is connected to J103. From J1, the +14V is conducted to the internal transceiver circuits through F1, a 4 ampere board-mounted self-resetting poly fuse. CR112 is a transient voltage suppresser on the + 14 VDC primary power input. It protects against a reverse polarity condition. U105 is a switching regulator that provides + 5.6 volts for transceiver circuits. • U102 regulates the + 5.6 volts down to + 5 volts which supplies power to the microprocessor and all of the CMOS logic. • U204 regulates the + 5.6 volts down to + 3.3 volts which supplies power to the D…
