12-90 PAGING TRANSCEIVER & STORE & FORWARD REPEATER PRODUCT INFORMATION SEA AIR AND LAND COMMUNICATIONS LTD, CHRISTCHURCH, NEW ZEALAND SALCOM 12-90 PAGING TRANSCEIVER AND STORE FORWARD REPEATER Issue 1290UB 0211 Sea Air and Land Communications LtdPage 2 12-90 Paging Transceiver & Store Forward Repeater GENERAL The 12-90 is a simple to configure POCSAG paging transceiver with high sensitivity receiver combined with a 100mW transmitter. It operates over the frequency range of 440-479MHz decoding and encoding 512 or 1200 baud, alphanumeric or numeric messages. The 12-90 can be used as: •A full paging transceiver, allowing both the encoding and decoding of paging messages. •A stand alone receiver. •A stand alone transmitter with channel busy check function before transmissions. •An autonomous paging store and forward repeater with duplicate message reject. •A point to point raw serial link. •A simple telemetry solution. The 12-90 can be controlled via an RS232 serial interface to provide numeric, alphanumeric and tone-only POCSAG encoding. This enables a user to call a pager (over 2,000,000 codes), append an appropriate priority level (1 of 4), and add a numeric or alphanumeric message. The 12-90 supports multiple message queuing and will queue up to four 73 character messages, or as many smaller messages that will fit into the available memory buffer. It also supports full batching of serially queued and input messages, ensuring that messages are transmitted quickly with minimal transmit on time. Pre-defined input messages can be configured using any serial terminal application and are limited to a maximum length of 40 characters. The unit supports 2 discrete inputs with different pre-programmed messages on high and/or low transition. Provision to transmit a message more than once and variable time between transmissions are catered for. The 12-90 supports Salcom relay control protocol to control one on board relay plus several “virtual outputs”. Virtual outputs can be used to remotely trigger input or periodic messages and provide a mechanism to acknowledge reception of messages. The 12-90, through the use of a virtual output, can transmit the received signal strength of the last received message allowing the receiver positioning and system health to be monitored. The 12-90 can be configured to automatically respond with checksum information of the last received message allowing robust, error free systems to be developed. Expansion of the 12-90 is possible through the use of the 12-34 relay module and 12-32 input module, allowing any number or outputs or inputs to be supported. SALCOM 12-90 PAGING TRANSCEIVER AND STORE FORWARD REPEATER Issue 1290UB 0211 Sea Air and Land Communications LtdPage 3 The 12-90 utilises an intelligent self adjusting channel busy check to prevent message collision or corruption which reduces the need to retransmit messages and increases confidence of delivery. SALCOM 12-90 PAGING TRANSCEIVER AND STORE FORWARD REPEATER Issue 1290UB 0211 Sea Air and Land Communications LtdPage 4 RECEIVER OPERATION When operating normally, the system LED flashes green once every second. When the relay is in the closed state the red LED D1 is lit (not visible external to the enclosure). The relay will operate only when a correct Salcom relay control message is received with a matching unit ID, or a global address ID of “00”. To control the outputs a message must be received that matches the unit ID with a suitable control code sequence (Salcom relay control protocol). The received message must also be the expected baud rate (512 or 1200) and format (alphanumeric or numeric). A mono-shot timer can be set for the relay allowing it to open automatically after being closed. This timer can be set to between 1 seconds to 65535 seconds (in 1 second steps). Setting the relay mono-shot timer to 0 results in the output remaining latched until a message is received to change its current state. The 12-90 can be configured to respond to up to 4 different cap code ranges. Messages will only be decoded (and outputs controlled) if the message address falls within a configured cap code range. TRANSMITTER OPERATION The 12-90 can transmit 3 types of POCSAG message, with any one of 4 function levels: •Alphanumeric transmissions. Message can contain any alphanumeric ‘ASCII’ character. •Numeric transmissions. Message contains only Numeric characters and some symbols. •Tone Only transmissions (Alphanumeric or numeric with no message) Alphanumeric transmissions: Messages can contain any alphanumeric character. The 12-90 will accept the standard ASCII 7 bit character set. Numeric transmissions: Messages can contain numeric characters and some symbols. These can convey a telephone number, or other numerically coded information. Since the transmitted message is shorter, there is less chance of errors being received by the pager. The numeric character set is as follows: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 [ ] - U <space> Tone Only transmissions: Any numeric or alphanumeric paging message without an actual text message is also considered ‘Tone Only’. A function level will control the number of beeps on the receiver (four different function levels can be sent). INITIATING A TRANSMISSION Paging messages may be initiated from: •Change in input state. •Periodic message timeout. •Salcom protocol message accepted from the serial port. •Reception and retransmission of a message when configured as a store forward SALCOM 12-90 PAGING TRANSCEIVER AND STORE FORWARD REPEATER Issue 1290UB 0211 Sea Air and Land Communications LtdPage 5 repeater. •Reception of a relay control protocol packet configured to trigger input, periodic messages or received signal strength messages to be transmitted. SALCOM 12-90 PAGING TRANSCEIVER AND STORE FORWARD REPEATER Issue 1290UB 0211 Sea Air and Land Communications LtdPage 6 SALCOM PROTOCOL Serial messages can be sent to the serial port as a subset of Salcom protocol using a 12- 45 serial lead.

FCC Label Label Material Printed on 24mm wide Brother P-Touch TZ-355 tape. The following was copied directly from the Brother Website and describes the P-Touch TZ-355 Tapes which are used for the 12-62 FCC /serial number label. ‘The TZ-355 white on black p-touch tape sticks to virtually any surface and is durable enough to withstand scrapes and abrasions. Because it's water resistant, it can be used outdoors, as well as indoors. Laminated TZ tapes shrug off spills of any kind; from water, to oil, to chemicals and won't fade under harsh UV rays. And it stays on through hot and cold environments from freezers to microwaves. We have laminated tapes down to a science.’

Tune Up Procedure The 12-90 is based around a highly integrated RF IC. The deviation of any modulated signal, and transmit frequency is dependent solely on the supplied reference. The stability of the reference used is +-0.5ppm over the temperature range -30 degrees Celsius to +85, but initial tolerance after reflow is 2ppm. Stability of the reference is 0.2ppm over its entire operating voltage range. A voltage regulator ensures that the reference operates from a fixed point within its operating voltage range. Calibration of the reference is performed at room temperature. Calibration is performed by: 1.Issue the command +99=1<CR> 2.Transmit a test message and inspect the transmission using a calibrated test set. 3.Issue the command +X+<CR> to increase the transmit frequency by 200Hz, or issue +X- <CR> to reduce by 200Hz. Repeat this step until the transmit frequency is centred at the test frequency. Output power level is checked by transmission of a test message. The absolute maximum output power of the RF IC is 20dBm. The power level may be decreased by software control, and this is performed to meet some country type approval requirements, but power reduction is not required to meet FCC requirements. For FCC markets, power level is set to the maximum power for the device – this is a register setting within the RF IC and does not rely on any external components or calibration. There is a small power loss across the RF switch and through the harmonic filter. Output power will vary slightly due to . Therefore the output power level is not set, but checked using the procedure: 1.Transmit a test message. 2.Using a calibrated measurement receiver confirm that the output power is +18dBm +-1dBm.

Exposure of humans to RF fields As per Section 1.1310 mobile transmitters are required to be operated in a manner that ensures the public is not exposed to RF energy levels in accordance with OST/OET Bulletin Number 65. Calculations have been made using the General Public/Uncontrolled Exposure limits. Minimum safe distances have been calculated below. Power density, mW/m 2 = E 2 /3770 - Occupational / Controlled Exposure limit will be 1.53 mW/m 2 (f/300 = 459 MHz/300) - General Population / Uncontrolled exposure limit will be 0.306 mW/m 2 (f/1500 = 459 MHz/1500) The minimum distance from the antenna at which the MPE is met is calculated from the equation relating field strength in V/m, transmit power in watts, transmit antenna gain, transmitter duty cycle and separation distance in metres: E, V/m = (√(30 * P * G)) / d Controlled Uncontrolled E = 1.53 W/m 2 = E 2 /3770 E = 0.306 W/m 2 = E 2 /3770 E= √1.53*3770 E= √0.306*3770 E = 75.9 V/m E = 34.0 V/m The rated maximum transmitter power = 0.063 watts (+18 dBm). Transmitter is operated using a quarter wave whip antenna with a gain of 2.14 dBi (1.64). The client has declared a duty cycle of 100% however in practice the duty cycle would be less. Controlled Uncontrolled d = √ (30 * P * G*DC) / E d = √ (30 * 0.063 * 1.64 * 1.0) / 75.9 d = √ (30 * 0.063 * 1.64 * 1.0 ) / 34.0 d = 0.023 metres or 2.3 cm d = 0.052 metres or 5.2 cm Result: Complies if a safe distance of a least 20 cm is defined for each environment.
