The user can change a Reduced Service BIT monitored parameter to show NO SERVICE. See 4.3.2 How to set a radio configuration. 4.3.2 How to set a radio configuration A web server is hosted in the radio. To change a radio configuration:

(1) Make sure you have a suitable laptop or desktop to access the radio. Access to the radio can be via an Ethernet connection to the front panel RJ45 LAN 3 connector (or rear panel) or via an Ethernet connection through the users network to the radio.

(2) Open the browser software on the device. The Park Air T6 radio supports a number of web browsers:

Google Chrome Apple Safari Mozilla Firefox Microsoft Internet Explorer 9 onwards. Northrop Grumman recommends the use of Google Chrome.

(3) Enter the IP address of the radio in the browser address bar. The web server is shown:

Double pole/neutral fusing The radio uses a power supply which has both live and neutral fuses. 5.1 Reference frequency adjustment In stable environmental conditions, adjustments are recommended (subject to local regulations) as follows:

For 5-carrier offset operation - every 12 months For 2-carrier offset operation with 8.33 kHz channel spacing - every 3 years All other conditions - every 10 years. Frequency counter accuracy Make sure the stability, accuracy and resolution specifications of the frequency counter used exceed that of the reference oscillator. Wherever possible, use an external frequency standard, for example, GPS or an off-air standard. To set the radios internal reference frequency:

(1) Connect a sufficiently accurate frequency counter to the Reference frequency monitor connector on the front panel of the radio with the correct test cable. Northrop Grumman recommends the Park Air A6-ATE6000 confidence test equipment.

(2) Scroll so that Settings is shown on the display. Settings Push Example Reference 50.0 %

Push Reference oscillator output enables after 2 seconds.

(Scroll to another setting immediately disables the output) Reference 50.0 %

Radio Health Integral radio failure See 5.2.1 Radio Health 5.2.1 Radio Health An internal radio failure is displayed on a suitable laptop (or desktop) and/or the RCMS, Park Air R4 MARC Server. With access to the radios web server, the following Radio Health messages may be displayed:

Radio Health message Description Degraded performance Power removed Not on frequency Not calibrated Internal fault An internal control system parameter may not be to specification Transmit power has been automatically reduced to zero due to one or more internal or external conditions An internal fault prevents the radio locking to the selected frequency Valid calibration data is not detected Detection of an internal fault If an internal radio failure clears, the radio health message clears. On R4 MARC Server, Radio Health messages will be displayed in the BIT Status pane:

T6-D-USER-TV-EN Park Air Systems Ltd 2015 Page 5-2 Maintenance Under revision Make sure that radio failure is not due to an external failure, for example, antenna circuit VSWR. If the internal fault condition is still displayed, return the radio to Northrop Grumman, see Park Air Services. Notes:

A radio whose Service Status changes to No Service, automatically becomes Inactive. The faulty radio drops its SIP session in accordance with ED-137. Transmit operation is inhibited when the radio is Inactive. 5.3 Fan replacement To replace the fan:

according to EN 62311:2008 Assessment of electronic and electrical equipment related to human exposure restrictions for electromagnetic fields (0 Hz - 300 GHz), are shown in the table below:

Frequency Occupational level General population level 100 - 400 MHz 10 W/m2 2 W/m2 Example The safe distance from the antenna can be predicted using the equation:

R = 1.45 PG 4S where, R = distance to centre of radiation in metres 1.45 = multiplication factor for average power based on a modulation index of 0.95 P = power input to antenna in Watts (example, 50 Watts) G = antenna gain as a ratio (example, 2 dB = 10 2/10 = 1.585) S = power density in W/m2. Based on this formula and using a 2 dBi antenna, For RF and microwave workers:

The predicted safe distance from the centre of the radiation would be approximately 0.96 metres for a field strength of 10 W/m2 (1 mW/cm2). For persons not classed as RF and microwave workers, and including the general public:

The minimum safe distance would be 2.14 metres for a field strength of 2 W/m2 (0.2 mW/cm2). Correct at 20th January 2016. For Canada, please see overleaf. T6-D-USER-TV-EN Park Air Systems Limited 2016 Canada The RF field strength limits according to Health Canada Safety Code 6, are shown in the table below:

Frequency MHz Occupational level W/m2 General population level W/m2 112.000 118.000 127.500 136.975 155.975 225.000 300.000 399.975 6.83 7.01 7.28 7.55 8.06 9.68 11.18 12.90 1.29 1.29 1.29 1.29 1.29 1.29 0.13 0.15 The general equation for Occupational level:

W/m2 = 0.6455 f 0.5 where, f = frequency in MHz. The general equations for General Population level:

For 100 to 300 MHz = 1.291 W/m2 and, for 300 to 400 MHz, W/m2 = 0.02619 f 0.6834 where, f = frequency in MHz. Example The safe distance from the antenna can be predicted using the equation:

R = 1.45 PG 4S where, R = distance to centre of radiation in metres 1.45 = multiplication factor for average power based on a modulation index of 0.95 P = power input to antenna in Watts G = antenna gain as a ratio (example, 2 dB = 10 2/10 = 1.585) S = power density in W/m2. Based on this formula and using a 2 dBi antenna, frequency of 118.000 MHz and a measured carrier power of 53.321 W, for RF and microwave workers:

The predicted safe distance from the centre of the radiation would be approximately 1.18 metres. For persons not classed as RF and microwave workers, and including the general public:

The minimum safe distance would be 2.75 metres. Correct at 28th June 2016. T6-D-USER-TV-EN Park Air Systems Limited 2016
