O87-1203UHF POCSAG 8 channel relay output receiver

12-03-0000 UHF POCSAG Eight Channel Relay Output Receiver PRODUCT INFORMATION SEA AIR & LAND COMMUNICATIONS LTD, CHRISTCHURCH, NEW ZEALAND SALCOM 12-03-0000 POCSAG RECEIVER with RELAY OUTPUTSIssue 06/02 Sea Air and Land Communications LtdPage 1 POCSAG Relay Output Receiver GENERAL The 12-03-0000 POCSAG Relay Output Receiver provides the ability to remote control up to 8 relay outputs using SALCOM paging systems or telephone wide area paging networks. OPERATION The unit receives and decodes a numeric or alphanumeric pager call. If the received unit number matches the 12-03-0000 unit number the relay outputs are switched according to the ON/OFF commands of the message. INSTALLATION Situate the 12-03-0000 away from direct sunlight, vibration and strong heat sources and avoid close proximity to radio transmission equipment. The unit is not certified as intrinsically safe. In good coverage areas fit the aerial to the aerial socket as shown on the cover. An external aerial may be needed where reception is poor. Connect a 12 volt DC power supply to the power terminals (see figure 1). The 12-03 is protected against reversed supply connection. The power source must be reasonably noise free. The connections to the relay contacts are made using the eight pairs of terminals, labelled 1 to 8. These are normally open contacts, but can be configured to be normally closed by special order. One end of each contact can be connected to ground by linking the pads adjacent to each terminal block (See figure 1). Note: High current relays can be fitted on special order at the factory. Because of the high current capability of the relay outputs appropriate fuses should be fitted when the system is installed as protection against accidental short circuits. CORRECT OPERATION The operation of the unit is shown by the LED in the corner of the PCB. See figure 1. Correct operation is shown by this LED flashing. If the LED does not light, check the voltage on the supply terminal block. Out of Lock condition of the VCO will also extinguish this LED, caused by the selection of a frequency out of range . During the reception of a valid command with the correct RIC code, this LED will stay on for SALCOM 12-03-0000 POCSAG RECEIVER with RELAY OUTPUTSIssue 06/02 Sea Air and Land Communications LtdPage 2 approximately one second. When a relay is commanded on, the corresponding LED will light next to the relay. SALCOM 12-03-0000 POCSAG RECEIVER with RELAY OUTPUTSIssue 06/02 Sea Air and Land Communications LtdPage 3 UNIT NUMBER Each unit will respond only to messages which contain a matching Unit Number . Up to 99 unique unit numbers are available. Any number of units can be programmed with the same unit number. The Unit Number comprising of 2 digits is selected using the configuration software. MONOSHOT Output monoshot (momentary) operation can be enabled by using the configuration software. Each relay output can have its own monoshot time, ranging from 0 to 10 seconds in 40mS steps. Setting the value to 0 disables the monoshot timer altogether, and the relay output is latched until commanded off. RELAY RESTORATION The 12-03-0000 has the ability to remember the state of the relays during a power down period. If this feature is turned on in the configuration software, the relays will be returned to their previous state at restoration of power. RADIO CHANNEL FREQUENCY The frequency of the radio channel can be set using the configuration software. The nominal tuning range is approximately 455 to 465MHz, but can be extended by factory tuning across the range 450 to 470MHz. SPECIFICATION Enclosure.170mm x 120mm x 55mm. ABS plastic case.

262334 Sea Air Land Communications Ltd Date 9/08/02 1 SALCOM 12-03-0000 UHF POCSAG Eight Channel Relay Output Receiver Technical Manual Description. The SALCOM 1203 receiver has been designed to receive and decode POCSAG data in the UHF frequency band. The receiver also provides the ability to control up to eight relay outputs using SALCOM paging systems or wide area public paging networks. Operation. The unit receives and decodes a numeric or alphanumeric pager call. If the received unit number matches the 12-03 unit number, the relay outputs are switched according to the ON/OFF fields of the message. The Receiver. The receiver consists of a direct conversion receiver device IC1 with a separate synthesised local oscillator. The signal enters the unit through a BNC connector, and then passes through a band pass filter, before entering the receiver device. Two test point outputs are provided by the receiver device IC1, and can be accessed at P3 pins 1 and 2. These show the pre detected audio of the receiver, and can be used to tune the previous stages. Detected data comes from pin 27 of IC1 receiver device. PLL synthesiser. The local oscillator starts at the oscillator Q5 in a Collpits configuration. The frequency of this stage is controlled by varactor D12 connected to the control loop and synthesiser IC6. The control loop voltage can be measured with a high impedance meter at test point LOOP. The frequency reference is controlled by crystal X3, and can be adjusted by use of CV1. The remaining synthesiser stage is a dual gate FET buffer Q4, driving the oscillator input of the receiver device IC1. The Decoder. The detected serial data from the receiver IC1 is fed into a microprocessor POCSAG decoder IC2 pin 12, and can be viewed with an oscilloscope on test point P3 pin 3. The microprocessor device has the following functions: ! Decode the POCSAG data from the receiver. ! Load the synthesiser on power up. ! Check for synthesiser lock and drive the LED. ! Output decoded POCSAG data via the serial port. ! Communicate to the user configuration software when needed. The relays are driven by a buffer device IC7, which is driven by the decoder outputs. An LED and resistor is wired across each relay coil to show status of the relays. The microprocessor firmware is protected from latch up by an external watchdog circuit IC3. The configuration is held in non- volatile EEROM memory IC4, with a write protection link to prevent accidental corruption in noisy electrical environments. The decoder can be programmed by the user to interpret up to four RIC (CAP) codes. Power conditioning. The power input to the unit comes in via a 2-way screw terminal block. Input filtering and over voltage protection is performed by C35, R27, F1, Z1, C34, C30. This supply is then used to power the relay coils, and can be measured on test point PAD 2. The main supply is reduced to 5volts by the low dropout series regulator IC5, and can be measured on test point PAD 1. 2 Receiver device IC1 Configuration memory IC4 Decoder micro processor IC2 Synthesiser Q5, Q4, IC6 Power Input 12v DC Power filters, Conditionin g Aerial Input BLOCK DIAGRAM OF 1203 RECEIVER Driver IC7Relays Demodulated Data Synthesiser control 262334 Sea Air Land Communications Ltd Date 9/08/02 3 TUNING AND SET UP PROCEDURE Apparatus required Signal generator FM +\-4KHz @ 460.000 MHZ carrier (HP 8920A). Oscilloscope Dual trace. DMM meter ( 20 volts ) 12v power supply, limited to 100mA (SALCOM). Trimming tool for coil cores (SALCOM). Hewlett Packard test set to generate alpha POCSAG RIC 0116358 level 1(HP8920A) Tuning Setup Tuning to be performed at 460MHz Connect Signal generator to input BNC of 12-03 board Connect DC supply +12v current limited to 100mA. Adjust L15 until the voltage at PAD3 Α loop ≅ is approx 3v Inject a carrier level to give a 50mV sine wave on the scope, approx - 50dBm. Some units may require a higher level. Tuning Method Adjust CV1 for a frequency of approx 2KHz (0.5mSec between peaks) on P3 pin 1 (very small amplitude). Either of the two settings found will suffice. Maintain a scope display of approx 50mV pp by adjusting the input carrier level. Adjust,CV4,CV2,CV3 (in that order) for maximum signal on scope. CV3 may have multiple peaks, choose the largest peak. Repeat this several times to maximise the output. Maintain a scope display of approx 50mV pp by adjusting input carrier level. The final scope display should be approx. 20 to 25mV for a carrier input of -95 to -100dBm. Re-adjust CV1 to reduce the scope signal frequency until it reaches <100Hz. Sensitivity check Connect scope to P3 pin 3 to a scope input 0.2V/div, AC coupled. Increase the carrier frequency by +4Khz at a level of -100dBm. Set the scope trace to lie on the centre grid line, reduce the carrier level until the scope display baseline shifts by 0.2v. This should correspond to <-121dBm Decoder check Cycle power off then on. Reset the carrier to +0KHz, Inject the following POCSAG message signal at - 120dbm using the test set or POCSAG generator and sig gen. RIC 0116358. Type Alphanumeric. Function level 4.
