This document covers the configuration of this equipment that utilizes either of the following remote control cards; p/ns 923051-1 (standard) or 943180-1 (supplied upon request). These cards allow the transceiver to be remotely controlled over 600 ohm dedicated lines using a variety of keying methods. The Model TSC-4400 Transceiver is a simplex, single channel, fixed frequency transceiver operating over the frequency range of 118.000 MHz to 138.000 MHz. These units are intended for base station operation in an air traffic environment. These systems can operate from AC power or external DC power in local and remote operating modes. 1.2 DESCRIPTION The TSC-4400 is a fully pre-programmable 50 Watt transceiver. It can be configured for 2 Wire and 4 Wire remote operation with a variety of remote keying methods (with 923051-1 standard card). The transceiver consists of a Power Supply Module, Mother Board, a Remote Control Board and a 50 Watt RF Amplifier Module. To improve the rejection of interfering signals, dual conversion receiver technology has been incorporated on the Transmitter/Receiver (Module A1) board used in the TSC-4400. The second IF is 455kHz using a ceramic filter, which is immune to high energy ringing. The dual conversion module also has a second local oscillator, second mixer and ceramic filter. The first local oscillator is the original VCO. TABLE 1-1 TSC-4400 CONFIGURATION System Motherboard w/

(upon request) 1-1 1.2.1 Transceiver Module The Single Channel Transceiver is based on Transceiver Model 90-6R/8.33. The transceiver module is a low power VHF/AM transceiver which can transmit or receive on independent, pre-

programmable synthesized frequencies, with 25kHz or 8.33kHz channel spacing in the frequency range 118.000 MHz to 138.000 MHz. The operating frequency can be easily programmed using a PC via the front panel mounted serial DB-9 connector. 1.2.2 Power Supply Module - P/N 043603-1 The Power Supply Modules provide the DC supply voltage to the transceiver and linear amplifier, and houses a battery charger which can provide charging and trickle charging to external rechargeable batteries. The external DC supply must consist of both 48Vdc and 12Vdc external batteries. The power supply will accept an input supply voltage between 110-

240VAC and will autorange. 1.2.3 RF Amplifier Modules - P/N 043604-1 The RF Amplifier (Model PA-50) modules provide 50 Watts of power output. The RF Amplifier is fed by the 7 Watt RF output from the transceiver module. An internally mounted RF Relay bypasses the RF Amplifier when in receive mode. The output of the amplifier can vary from 25-50 watts by adjusting the transceiver module RF output between 2-7 watts. 1.2.4 Mother Board, P/N 033588-1 Mother Board, p/n 033588-1 is supplied with the two available remote control cards and supports both a 25 pin D and 9 pin Positronics remote connectors on the back of the transceiver chassis. A RJ11 style connector is also provided which supports only 2-wire audio signals. The Mother Board provides all interconnection between the three external remote control connectors, RF Amplifier Module, Power Supply, Remote Control Board, and Transceiver. The Remote Control Boards, RF Isolator and all internal fuses are mounted on the Mother Board. 1.2.5 Remote Control Boards 1. Line Interface Board P/N 923051-1 Provides remote control transceiver operation on 2 wire or 4 wire 600 ohm lines. This board can be configured to key the transmitter using a 2175 Hz* continuous tone (see below), plus/minus DC Voltages, ground keying and internal or external DC (15 mA) current loop keying. Transmit and Receive audio is user selectable for two wires or four wires. *Crystals for tone frequencies other than 2175 Hz may be obtained by special order (ie/2380 Hz). 1-2 2. Line Interface Board P/N 943180-1 Provides remote control transceiver operation on 2 wire dedicated 600 ohm lines utilizing the EIA multi-tone keying format found in the Land Mobile Industry. A high level 2175 tone followed by a 1950 Hz guard tone and then a low level 2175 Hz continuous tone is utilized to key the transceiver. The 943180-1 board can also be jumper strapped for standard aeronautical 2175 Hz continuous tone operation. DC (15mA) current loop and ground keying is also supported. However this board does not support 4wire operation. NOTE P/N 923051-1 is the default board supplied in all units. The EIA multi-tone board P/N 943180-1 must be special ordered. To determine which remote card your 92-SC has installed the Configuration label on the side of the rack mount chassis should be consulted. 1.2.6 Crystal Filter Board Assembly P/N 923069-1 Additional selectivity during receive operation may be obtained using an optional 25 kHz crystal bandpass filter. An 8.33 kHz bandpass filter is not available. Crystal filters are cut to the required operating frequency and require 6-8 weeks lead time. This item is interchangeable in the field. Refer to Paragraph 2.2.5 for replacement instructions. If no crystal filter option is ordered, jumper board assembly P/N 923074-1 is installed. 1.3 MODES OF OPERATION 1.3.1 Local/Remote Operation NOTE Local operation is not disabled when operating in Remote mode and Remote operation is not disabled when operating in Local mode. The two operating modes operate in parallel. 1. 2. LOCAL OPERATION - In local operation, voice audio, and keying (PTT) functions are routed from the microphone (not supplied) to the transceiver. Receive audio is routed to the internal loudspeaker and phone jack located on the front panel. REMOTE OPERATION - In Remote operation, transmit audio, keying (PTT), and receive audio functions are routed over land lines to the 600 ohm remote inputs. Internal jumpers can be set for DC, ground, or tone transmitter keying, and to provide a DC squelch signal and RF Output Power signal depending on the remote control board installed. Receive audio is routed to the internal loudspeaker and is adjustable by the volume control. Transmit audio is also routed to the internal loudspeaker at an internally adjustable preset level (see conference audio). 1-3 1.3.1.1 Conference Audio (Optional) NOTE: This feature is only provided upon special order. The component (R7) discussed below is left unpopulated on standard configuration radios. Conference Audio provides the operator with Tx voice on the transceiver speaker when the transmitter is remotely keyed from another location. The audio level of the transmit audio is internally adjustable from 0.0W to 0.5W of audio output. The adjustment is performed via rotation of the potentiometer R7 (see Figure 2-5 for location), which is accessible from the top of the transceiver after removing the top dust cover of the unit. NOTE: The transmit audio level can be increased by rotating potentiometer R7 clockwise and decreased by counterclockwise rotation. If further adjustment of conference audio is required, the top cover of the transceiver module must be removed to gain access to potentiometer R63, located on the Audio Interface Module, A3 (see Figure 2-5 for location). 1.3.2 AC and DC Operation The unit can be operated by external 120/240 VAC or external 48 VDC & 12 VDC. The AC power supply will automatically set for operation on 120 VAC or 240 VAC as required. 1. 2. AC OPERATION - During AC operation, the unit can charge and trickle charge external batteries via the external connectors mounted on the rear panel of the unit. Refer to section 3 for remote connector pin details regarding DC operation. DC OPERATION - The unit can be operated from an external DC supply which provides 48VDC(nominal) and 12VDC(nominal). 1.4 TECHNICAL SUMMARY A summary of electrical, operational, mechanical and physical characteristics of the Single Channel Transceiver are provided in Table 1-2. 1-4 TABLE 1-2 TSC-4400 LEADING PARTICULARS POWER REQUIREMENTS:

Before programming a new frequency, perform an operational check. If there is any deficiency or equipment malfunction, the transceiver is to be returned to the manufacturer, Technisonic Industries Limited, under warranty. 2.3.2 Frequency Range The operating frequency may be programmed over the frequency range 118.000 MHz to 138.000 MHz with 8.33kHz or 25kHz channel spacing. 2.3.3 Frequency Programming Requirements A personal computer is required to reprogram a new frequency into the transceiver channel memory. Refer to document 04RE332 (Section 3, Addendum A) for detailed instructions on TDP-90 software installation and operation. 2-5 A standard 9 pin serial cable must be temporarily connected between the front panel DB-9 connector on the transceiver and the computer serial port. The transceiver is capable of 25 kHz spacing (wide band) and 8.33 kHz spacing (narrow band) channels. The frequency entered will determine whether the channel will be wide or narrow mode, based on the Combined 8.33 kHz/25 kHz ICAO Frequency-Channel Pairing Plan. For example if you program 118.000 into a memory, the transceiver will operate on 118.000 MHz in wide band mode. If you program 118.005 into a memory, the transceiver will operate on 118.000 MHz in narrow band mode. For the most part, this will be transparent to the user since a frequency will be issued in the ICAO format and the radio will select wide or narrow mode. Refer to the chart below. TABLE 2-1 COMBINED 8.33/25 kHz ICAO FREQUENCY CHANNEL PAIRING PLAN Frequency Entered (MHz) Actual Operating Frequency Channel Spacing (kHz) 118.000 118.005 118.010 118.015 118.025 118.030 118.035 118.040 118.050 118.055 118.060 118.065 118.075 118.080 118.085 118.090 118.100 118.105 etc 118.0000 118.0000 118.0083 118.0166 118.0250 118.0250 118.0333 118.0416 118.0500 118.0500 118.0583 118.0666 118.0750 118.0750 118.0833 118.0916 118.1000 118.1000 etc 2-6 25 8.33 8.33 8.33 25 8.33 8.33 8.33 25 8.33 8.33 8.33 25 8.33 8.33 8.33 25 8.33 etc 2.3.4 Programming a Frequency Having ascertained the desired operating frequency, continue as follows:

(3) Ensure that the PRESS-TO-TALK switch on the microphone is NOT depressed, and verify that the Tx ON amber LED is OFF. Verify that the correct operating frequency is indicated on the front panel. Adjust the SQUELCH control to suit local reception conditions. When the SQUELCH control is rotated in the counter-clockwise direction, the SQUELCH indicator green LED will switch to ON, indicating that the squelch circuit is connecting the demodulated audio output to the VOLUME control. Further adjustment of the SQUELCH control determines the squelch setting. IMPORTANT NOTE The dual conversion receivers squelch knob must be rotated significantly more clockwise (4 oclock position) to obtain the same squelch setting (3uV) as a single conversion receivers squelch knob set to the 12 oclock (straight up) position. If the receivers squelch knob is set to the 12 oclock position, signals with a level greater than 0.5uV will open the squelch. At most airports this will not be an adequate level of squelch. Recommended procedure:

The squelch taper on a dual conversion receiver looks as follows:

Squelch knob position Squelch setting 12 oclock 3 oclock 3:30 position 4 oclock Fully clockwise 0.5uV 1.2uV 2.5uV 3uV 9uV It is recommended that the squelch be set to at least 2.5uV (3:30 knob position) at busy airport locations. If ACARS signals are present on adjacent or nearby channels the squelch level should be at least 3uV (4 oclock) to prevent ACARS bleed through.

(4) The VOLUME control can then be adjusted in a clockwise direction to increase the audio level, or in a counter-clockwise direction to decrease the audio level which can be heard on the internal loudspeaker. NOTE When an external loudspeaker or headset is connected to the SPEAKER/PHONE jack of the transceiver, the internal loudspeaker is automatically disconnected. The VOLUME control will now control the audio level applied to the external loudspeaker or headset, as applicable. 3-6 3.4.3 Switching OFF To switch off the transceiver:

The Up icon provides the same function in a single mouse click. Com1 (2,3,4) selects the COM (RS-232 Serial COMmunications) port on your computer, to which the transceiver is connected. On computers manufactured after 1990, COM 1 is typically a 9 pin male "D" connector. COM 2 may be either a 9 pin male or 25 pin male "D"

connector. COM 3 and COM 4 are available in the TDP-90 software as a valid option, although they typically exist only in a computer with a third party serial communications card installed. The COM port setting is automatically saved. The next time the TDP-90 software is executed, the previously selected COM port will be used. NOTE: ** The TDP-90 software assumes you have an available and properly configured COM port, and assumes that a TSC-4400 transceiver is connected. **
