Throughout Park Air handbooks, warnings are indicated by the following symbols:

WARNING Indicates electrical danger to personnel. WARNING Indicates a hazardous material. WARNING Indicates a non-ionizing radiation hazard. WARNING Indicates a specified danger to personnel. A caution is used to indicate possible danger to the equipment. Cautions Caution Indicates the presence of electrostatic sensitive devices (ESSD). Caution Indicates a specified danger to the equipment. 31-3MDR00HB Page 3 Draft Health and Safety (Continued) Specific Warnings Applicable to the MDR WARNING Dangerous Voltage The instructions given in this documentation involve connecting dangerous voltage to the MDR. Installation must be carried out only by suitably qualified personnel. WARNING Earth Connection This equipment must be earthed. The earth terminal of the ac connector must be used as the safety earth. WARNING Antenna Radiation The antenna used with the MDR must be installed such that the resultant radiated field strength is below 10 W/m in areas normally accessible to personnel. The RF field strength from the antenna can be predicted from the equation S=1.4PG/4R2

[Where S = power density; P = power input to antenna; G = antenna gain; R = distance to centre of radiation and 1.4 = multiplication factor for average power based on a modulation index of 90%.]

Based on this formula a 2 dBi antenna, the predicted safe distance from the centre of radiation would be approximately 0.75 m for a field strength of 10 W/m2 (1 mW/cm2). This meets the requirements of Health Canada Safety Code 6 for RF and microwave exposed workers. For persons not classed as RF and microwave workers and including the general public the limit is 2 W/m2 (0.2 mW/cm2) which increases the minimum safe distance to 1.7 m. Further information on calculating the field strengths and power levels can be found in Health Canada Safety Code 6 'Limits of Human Exposure to Radiofrequency Electromagnetic Fields in the Frequency Range 3 kHz to 300 GHz', and also in FCC document OET Bulletin 65. WARNING Antenna Radiation Ensure an antenna, or dummy load, is connected before switching on the MDR. There is high RF voltage present at the antenna connector when the radio is keyed. WARNING Beryllium Hazard Although no instructions in this documentation involve removing any equipment covers, users should be aware that the RFPA output transistors contain Beryllium. WARNING Heavy Item During installation an MDR may have to be lifted, possibly to head height, to fit onto telescopic slides. At least two people should be used to lift the equipment. Failure to use sufficient people when lifting equipment can result in personal injury. 31-3MDR00HB Page 4 Draft Disposal This product is covered by the European Directive 2002/96/EC.

Fig 5 MDR Front Panel Controls and Indicators Ready Indicator A green indicator that lights when the MDR is ready for use and no BIT faults have been detected. Alarm Indicator A red indicator that either flashes, or lights, when a BIT fault has been detected. BIT indications are classified as either Alerts or Alarms. If an alert condition is detected, the Alarm indicator flashes, the Ready indicator remains lit, and the MDR remains operational. A BIT alert is indicated if:

The MDRs RF output power has reduced from its setting by more than 1 dB but not more than 3 dB

The supply volts falls below 21.6 V

The RF PA temperature has exceeded 80oC. Any other BIT condition results in an alarm. When detected, the Alarm indicator lights and the Ready indicator becomes unlit; the MDR cannot be used. When the Alarm indicator flashes, or is lit, the front panel display indicates the nature of the Alert or Alarm Receive Indicator An amber indicator that lights as follows:

In AM-Voice mode In VDL 2 mode In AM Analogue ACARS mode In AM Digital ACARS mode When a signal above the squelch threshold is received, or when the squelch is defeated. Lights on Sync and remains lit until the end of message. Lit when a signal is received. Lights on Sync and remains lit until the end of message.

All software fills are available on the users network and can be downloaded via the MDRs Ethernet port. 31-3MDR00HB Page 35 Operation Intentionally Blank Installation Draft Introduction WARNING Dangerous Voltage The instructions given in this topic involve connecting dangerous voltage to the MDR. Installation must be carried out only by suitably qualified personnel. WARNING Antenna Radiation The antenna used with the MDR must be installed such that the resultant radiated field strength is below 10 W/m in areas normally accessible to personnel. The RF field strength from the antenna can be predicted from the equation S=1.4PG/4R2

[Where S = power density; P = power input to antenna; G = antenna gain; R = distance to centre of radiation and 1.4 = multiplication factor for average power based on a modulation index of 90%.]

Based on this formula a 2 dBi antenna, the predicted safe distance from the centre of radiation would be approximately 0.75 m for a field strength of 10 W/m2 (1 mW/cm2). This meets the requirements of Health Canada Safety Code 6 for RF and microwave exposed workers. For persons not classed as RF and microwave workers and including the general public the limit is 2 W/m2 (0.2 mW/cm2) which increases the minimum safe distance to 1.7 m. Further information on calculating the field strengths and power levels can be found in Health Canada Safety Code 6 'Limits of Human Exposure to Radiofrequency Electromagnetic Fields in the Frequency Range 3 kHz to 300 GHz', and also in FCC document OET Bulletin 65. WARNING Antenna Radiation Ensure an antenna, or dummy load, is connected before switching on the MDR. There is high RF voltage present at the antenna connector when the radio is keyed. WARNING Heavy Item During installation an MDR may have to be lifted, possibly to head height, to fit onto telescopic slides. At least two people should be used to lift the equipment. Failure to use sufficient people when lifting equipment can result in personal injury. Caution ESDs The MDR's circuitry contains Electrostatic Sensitive Devices (ESDs). Personnel must be aware of the precautions necessary to prevent damage to such devices. During installation all precautions necessary to prevent ESSD damage must be taken. Caution Unauthorized Modifications Changes or modifications made to this equipment that are not expressly approved by Park Air, or parties authorized by Park Air, could void the users authority to operate the equipment. 31-3MDR00HB Page 38 Installation Draft The procedures in this document describe how to install an MDR. The procedures necessary during installation are listed in Table 8. Table 8 Installation Procedures Procedure Reference 1 3 4 5 6 7 8 Perform an initial inspection of the MDR.

If damage is evident, contact Park Air immediately and retain the original transit packaging. It is helpful if photographs of any damage can be taken and then forwarded to Park Air in support of any claim. 31-3MDR00HB Page 39 Installation Draft Fitting an MDR into an Equipment Cabinet WARNING Heavy Item During installation an MDR may have to be lifted, possibly to head height, to fit onto telescopic slides. At least two people should be used to lift the equipment. Failure to use sufficient people when lifting equipment can result in personal injury. Caution Mechanical Support It is essential that the chosen mechanical installation provides adequate support along the depth (front to rear) of the unit. The MDR must not be supported by the front panel; doing so can cause damage. The MDR can be installed on telescopic slides, or on fixed runners, within a standard 483 mm (19 inch) equipment rack. M4 tapped holes, each 10 mm deep (see Fig 7) are provided on each side of the equipment to accept the slides. Details of suitable telescopic slides are available from Park Air. When fitted in the rack, the MDR's front panel must be secured to the cabinets chassis using four M6 x 16 mm screws and plastic washers.

This stud is used to connect the equipment to the equipment rack, or to the user's system earth point. The stud must not be used as the safety earth. In order not to compromise the MDRs Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) the chassis stud, marked and fitted to the rear panel must be connected to the equipment cabinet (if a cabinet is being used) or to the user's system earth point. The connection should be made using a single tri-rated, green-and-

yellow cable having a cross-sectional area of 2.5 mm2. The cable should have CSA and UL1015 approval, and be connected to the chassis stud through an M6 eyelet (for example, Park Air part number 20-08010103). Failure to comply with this instruction could result in non-compliance with the European Commission EMC Directive 89/336/EEC. Connecting an Antenna WARNING Antenna Radiation The antenna used with the MDR must be installed such that the resultant radiated field strength is below 10 W/m in areas normally accessible to personnel. The RF field strength from the antenna can be predicted from the equation S=1.4PG/4R2

[Where S = power density; P = power input to antenna; G = antenna gain; R = distance to centre of radiation and 1.4 = multiplication factor for average power based on a modulation index of 90%.]

Based on this formula a 2 dBi antenna, the predicted safe distance from the centre of radiation would be approximately 0.75 m for a field strength of 10 W/m2 (1 mW/cm2). This meets the requirements of Health Canada Safety Code 6 for RF and microwave exposed workers. For persons not classed as RF and microwave workers and including the general public the limit is 2 W/m2 (0.2 mW/cm2) which increases the minimum safe distance to 1.7 m. Further information on calculating the field strengths and power levels can be found in Health Canada Safety Code 6 'Limits of Human Exposure to Radiofrequency Electromagnetic Fields in the Frequency Range 3 kHz to 300 GHz', and also in FCC document OET Bulletin 65. WARNING Antenna Radiation Ensure an antenna, or dummy load, is connected before switching on the MDR. There is high RF voltage present at the antenna connector when the radio is keyed. The MDR uses a common antenna for transmission and reception. The rear panel N-type (female) antenna connector accepts a straight or right-angle N-type plug as listed in Table 9 on page 39. Park Air recommends that RG214 1/2 flexible feeder cable, part number 10-05120610, be used for that part of the feeder circuit that is within a building. 31-3MDR00HB Page 46 Installation Draft Checking the ac Input Fuse Caution Fuse Rating For continued protection against risk of fire, replace only with the same type and rating of fuse. The ac input fuse is located in a pull-out holder that is an integral part of the ac connector. Check that the fuse type is of the correct rating:

100 - 240V T4AH 250V IEC (Park Air part number, 29E01120108S) AC Supply Connection WARNING Dangerous Voltage The equipment is permanently connected to the mains supply when the mains connector is attached. Switching the rear panel Power switch to Off does not isolate all internal circuits from the mains supply. For this reason, a mains isolating switch should be fitted close to, and easily accessible from, the MDR's position. The isolation switch should isolate both live and neutral supplies, be clearly labelled, and adequately rated to protect the equipment. WARNING Earth Connection This equipment must be earthed. The earth terminal of the ac connector should be used as the safety earth. An ac input connector (see Fig 8 and Fig 12) is fitted to the equipments rear panel. The cable used to connect between the equipment and the users ac power source should be 3-core (to IEC 227) rated 250 Vac at 8 amps, and have a minimum cross-sectional area of 1.0 mm2 per core. Park Air recommends the use of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) insulated cable. The cable must be fitted with the IEC approved equipment connector (Park Air part number 20-02030102) and conform to the following specification:

If PVC insulated, be not lighter than ordinary polyvinyl chloride sheathed flexible cord according to IEC publication 227 (designation H05 VV-F, or H05 VVH2-F).

If rubber insulated, be of synthetic rubber and not lighter than ordinary tough rubber-sheathed flexible cord according to IEC publication 245 titled Rubber Insulated Cables of Rated Voltage up to and Including 450/750 V (designation H05 RR-F). 31-3MDR00HB Page 47 Installation Draft The MDR is a Class 1 equipment. The ac supply cable should have a green-and-yellow protective earthing conductor electrically connected to the protective earthing terminal of the equipment connector and the mains plug. Park Air recommends the ac supply cable is colour coded in accordance with the electrical appliance (colour code) regulations for the UK. That is:

The core coloured green-and-yellow must be connected to the terminal in the plug that is marked with the letter E or by the earth symbol or coloured green-and-yellow.

The core coloured blue must be connected to the terminal that is marked with the letter N or coloured black.

The core coloured brown must be connected to the terminal that is marked with the letter L or coloured red. L N E Fig 12 ac Connector Pin-out 31-3MDR00HB Page 48 Installation Draft Maintenance Draft Maintenance Policy Apart from the scheduled maintenance detailed in this topic, and replacing a faulty cooling fan, the maintenance policy for the MDR is to return faulty units to Park Air. There are no user serviceable parts within the MDR. Breaking the seals on the top and bottom covers voids the MDRs warranty. Unscheduled Maintenance Unscheduled maintenance is limited to replacing a faulty cooling fan (see page 54). Scheduled Maintenance Park Air recommends that scheduled maintenance be carried out at twelve-monthly intervals. Schedule maintenance comprises:

(1) Ensuring the equipment is clean.

(2) Ensuring that the external connectors are securely fitted to the MDR.

(3) Checking and resetting (if required) the MDR's frequency standard (see page 51).

(4) Performing an interruptive BIT test (see page 52). Cleaning the Equipment Remove all dust and dirt from the equipment's exterior using cleaning cloths and a camel hair brush. Clean the front panel indicators and LCD face. Security of External Connections Check all external connections are secure and free from damage. 31-3MDR00HB Page 50 Maintenance Draft Checking the MDRs Internal Reference Frequency To set the MDRs internal reference frequency, use the following procedure. Note that references to the switch in the procedure mean the Scroll/Select switch.

Use the following procedure to initiate an interruptive BIT test from the MDR's front panel. A BIT test cannot be initiated while the MDR is keyed. During an interruptive BIT test, the MDR radiates modulated carrier waves at the set power. Users should therefore obtain the necessary authority before initiating a test. If the test is to be carried out with the antenna disconnected, ensure a load is fitted to the MDR's Antenna connector. In order to test the line input stages, an internally generated 1 kHz tone is injected into the line input circuit. Any other audio present on the line input will cause the test to be inaccurate. Therefore the MDR must not be keyed during the test.
