It is designed to permit, produce and emit RF radiation into an antenna for the purpose of delivering a digital or FM modulated signal to an appropriate receiving device. For equipment such as the CodeRunner 2, the Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) limit is 1.0 mW/cm2. The CodeRunner 2 is a low-powered device, and by itself will generally not create RF exposure in excess of the MPE limits for RF radiation (OET Bulletin 65, Addition 97-01) issued by the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC). However, when properly connected to an antenna, the radiated power can exceed the MPE limits. The purchaser and/or user of the CodeRunner 2 is solely and exclusively responsible for determining the level of RF exposure when connecting the CodeRunner 2 to an antenna or other equipment, taking all appropriate steps to limit RF exposure and for ensuring compliance with all FCC requirements set forth in OET Bulletin 65.

CodeRunner 2 can accommodate a variety of analog and digital inputs, and apply either analog or digital modulation. CodeRunner 2 is an integrated, flexible solution consisting of:
A rack mounted Indoor Unit (IDU), typically mounted inside an ENG vehicle.
A mast mounted Outdoor Unit (ODU), also called the RF Unit (RFU). A typical installation is shown in Figure 2-1. PowerOptionsThe CodeRunner 2 can be operated from 115 V / 220 V AC mains power, or from 18-36 V DC vehicle power. Power is supplied to the IDU, which in turn powers the ODU via the cable harness between them. Analog/DigitalOptionsThe CodeRunner 2 is digital-ready, which means it can be ordered and installed as a full-featured analog radio. Then later, it can be upgraded just by adding the digital MPEG/COFDM Module. Band&FrequencyOptionsThe CodeRunner 2 is designed to cover the bands below. It can be ordered as a single-band unit or in a dual-band configuration to cover any two of these bands.
2-3 GHz 6-7 GHz 12-13 GHz Band and frequency information is stored in the ODU, which means switching bands after installation is very simple: just plug in the RFU for the new band, and the IDU will automatically configure itself for the new band. CodeRunner 2 Operators Guide/Tech Ref Manual Product Description 2-1
MRC Ellipse 2000
MRC OmniPole Omnidirectional Switching functions for band and antenna polarization are controlled from the front panel of the IDU. If your installation involves more than one antenna, this can be easily accommodated by using the MRC RF Switch. The RF Switch is also controlled from the front panel of the IDU. Figure 2-1: Typical CodeRunner 2 System Antenna Pan & Tilt Assembly Outdoor Unit (ODU) Conduit (Nycoil) Indoor Unit (IDU)
(inside vehicle) Within these bands, channels can be preprogrammed at the factory to match either the US broadcast channel plan, or a plan specified by the customer. Channel frequencies can be reprogrammed in the field using the keypad and display on the IDU. ColorBarGeneratorOptionsFor analog operation, an optional analog color bar generator is available, either at time of purchase or for later upgrade in the field. The digital MPEG/
COFDM Module has a built-in digital color bar generator. Either the analog or digital generators are field configurable for functions such as auto-standby (mute the transmitter on loss of video) and auto-generate (provide tones and bars on loss of video). ConnectionOptionsThe CodeRunner 2 is designed to make upgrading from an older radio as painless as possible. The IDU and ODU can be ordered with a variety of connectors to plug into an existing wiring harness. The connectors available for the cable harness between the IDU and ODU are:
Triax
Type N
TNC The ODU comes with a standard Type N connector for the antenna connection. AntennaOptionsThe CodeRunner 2 is fully compatible with a variety of antennas, including:
MRC ProStar, models
2A20 and 2A20SS (2 GHz) 7A30 and 7A30SS (7 GHz) 2A20/7A30 (dual band 2 & 7 GHz) 2A20/7A30SS (dual band 2 & 7 GHz, solid state switching) CodeRunner 2 Operators Guide/Tech Ref Manual Product Description 2-2 System Components 2.3 An MRC CodeRunner 2 system is made up of the following components:
A rack mounted Indoor Unit (IDU), typically mounted inside an ENG vehicle.
A mast mounted Outdoor Unit (ODU), also called the RF Unit (RFU). A typical system is shown in Figure 2-2. The IDU contains the baseband circuitry, power supply, and control modules. It accepts a variety of audio and video inputs, both digital and analog, and generates a 70 MHz IF output. It also accepts IF input from external modulators. For digital operation, the IDU can be equipped with an optional internal MPEG/COFDM Module. Or, the IDU can be used with existing external digital encoders and modulators. The ODU contains the upconvertors and power amplifier. The ODU accepts the 70 MHz IF, converts it to the operating band chosen, and amplifies it. Every installation will include an antenna, either directional or omnidirectional, or both. An MRC RF Switch can be mounted up on the mast to select the antenna desired. When using a mast mounted antenna, a Nycoil conduit sheath covers the wiring harness between the IDU to the ODU. This harness carries the power, IF, and antenna band and polarization switching. Addition wiring is added for controlling the pan & tilt mechanism, and for implementing additional functions such as off-air monitors, mast lights, etc. Figure 2-2: CodeRunner 2 System Components Directional Antenna
