Introduction
1.1. Introduction
TG660 is a VHF-transceiver. Depe nding on the variant, the TG660 is c apable of deliver ing 6 W, 10 W
or 50 W power (RF-carrier) to an external antenna.
TG660 features:
•Voltage control: TG660 po wer supp l y logic is oper ati n g with AC-power by default. After
AC-power failed, the logic automatically switches over to external DC-power. The moment
AC-power becomes available the logic returns back to AC-power source.
•Battery (option for 6 W and 10 W variants): An optional internal 12 VDC rechargeable
battery inside the TG660 provide power to continue operation with reduced RF power 6 W
over a certain time if AC and external DC supply voltage fail at the same time.
•Radio over IP (option): This option allows the TG660 to be connected to a Local Area
Network and the radio communication is performed over IP. In addition this option
provides remote monitoring and control capabilities via a PC and a web browser
•TG660 has a user-fr iendly HMI; all main components are on the front panel.
o2-line 16 character liquid-crystal display (LCD)
The selected frequency and operating status of the equipment, displayed on the
LCD, inform about the current operating mode.
oSeveral cont rol elements (rotating knob and buttons),
enables the user to change operating modes or operating frequency. Standby
switch selected to “Standby” partially shuts down the TG660 internal power supply.
Some power supply circuits continue listening to the “Standby Switch” to repower
the unit at any time.
•The “ON/OFF” switch, located on the rear panel, disconnects from AC supply completely.
•TG660 VHF transceiver is protected against jammed transmit button or short circuit on the
PTT line.
•TG660 VHF transceiver is protected against antenna mismatch.

1.2. Purpose of Equipment
PRELIMINARY
•TG660 is a fixed station for voice communications in the VHF frequency range of
118.000...136.990 MHz with 25 kHz / 8.33 kHz channel spacing.
•TG660 is useable on airports with different scale as a main transceiver, or as a standby
unit, as well as for special tasks within the scope of air traffic control.
•Designed for mounting in 19" rack systems, or in ATC desks.
•Operating with AC supply voltage from 100...230 V or with 24 VDC.

Scope of Functionality
1.4. Scope of Functionality
1.4.1. Microphone Inputs
Several microphone inputs are available for:
•Standard microphone unbalanced, DC coupled and providing power supply for the mike.
•Dynamic mike input balanced.
•Symmetrical balanced input.
These microphone in puts connect to a dynamic volum e compressor inside of the remote contro lled
transceiver, which k eeps the m odulati on voltage c ons tant ≥ 80% over a wide m ike signa l input vo ltage
range.
1.4.2. Audio Outputs
TG660 has different outputs:
•Headphone output
•Speaker output
•Line out
•Voice recorder
1.4.3. Side Tone Output
In transmit mode, the side tone signal is routed to the line and phone output.
1.4.4. HMI
The TG660 HMI pro vides a LC Displa y, a keypad, various function switches and the volume control
and also operation with Web Browser via IP ( see "Radio over IP "RoIP", pag e 15).
1.4.5. Loudspeaker
The loudspeaker, located behind the front panel, switch off automatically during TX. This avoids
acoustic coupling between loudspeaker and the microphone, which can cause acoustical feedback.
1.4.6. Rear Panel
TG660 rear panel layout:
•Terminal for ground connection.
•AC power connector with integrated ON/OFF switch and safety fuse.
•Fuse 1 (DC extern input
•Fuse 2 (internal battery if installed) or Power Amplifier for TG660-25 or TG660-50.
•DC extern socket (STAKEI 2 connector).
•LAN socket (RJ45).
•Remote connector (D-Sub9pin).
•Record / DF connector (D-Sub15pin).
•LINE / AUX connector (D-Sub25pin).
•Antenna connection (N-Type).
•TG660-50 (Reflectometer)

1.4.7. Self-Test
After power "ON" a s ystem self-test is perform ed. Detected errors show up on the dis play otherwise
the unit changes into the last used operation mode.

1.4.8. Options
Following options are available with all TG660 variants and all combinations.
1.4.8.1. Internal Battery
An optional internal 12 VDC battery (recharge able) inside the TG660 (onl y 6 W and 10 W variants)
provide power supply to contin ue operation over a certain t ime if AC and external DC supply voltage
fail at the same time.
Please note the TG660 functionality will be limited during operation in battery mode :
•Reduced RF power 6 W.
•Limited remote operation available.
1.4.8.2. Radio over IP "RoIP"
The RoIP (Radio over IP) opti on provides the p ossibility to con nect the desk top control heads via th e
local area network (LAN) to the r adios . Thus com m on infras tructur e can b e use d and a lm ost unlim ited
distances can be bridged . As audio data an d contro l data are trans form ed to TCP/IP over Ethernet no
degradation of voice quality is present. Furthermore, connections via the Internet can be used.
Beside the voice communication also control signals are transferred via the LAN and thus provide
Remote Control & Monitoring functionality to the user. The configuration of the TG660 may be
changed via a web interface.

becomes available the logic returns back to AC power source.
An optional internal 12 VDC rechargeable battery, installed inside the TG660,
provides the power to continue operation of the TG660 in case AC and DC supply
voltage would fail at the same time. During battery operation the TX power of a
10 W transceiver will be reduced to 6 W (emergency operation).
In battery mode the TG660 will operate for around 4 h (duty cycle 20%), if the
battery is fully loaded. However, the operational time is strongly dependent on its
30 TG660 DV17900.03 Issue 03 March 2017
utilization.
The capacity of the battery is reduced over its lifetime, which depends on various
factors (e.g. number of cycles, storage/operating temperature, etc.).
Check the operational time of the battery regulary to ensure that the capacity of the
battery is sufficient for its application. Otherwise the battery needs to be replaced.

Post Installation Check
2.9. Post Installation Check
Once the unit is installed completely a test procedure to verify system functionality. Ensure compliance
with authority required procedures. The following chapter below provides guidance for such tests.
2.9.1. Mechanical Installation and Wiring Check
•Verify all cables are securely fixed and shields connected properly to signal ground.
•Verify all screws are tight, check if all connections are mechanically secured.
2.9.2. Power Supply
•Check the external DC connection and confirm correct polarity.
2.9.3. Receiver / Transmitter Operation
•Perform a voice communication test. This test might be positive, if carried out close to the
corresponding radio-station, even if the antenna cable is broken or short-circ u ited. It will
not be possible to establish communication over a distance of 5 to 10 km in this case.
•Speak loud to the microphone and keep it always close to the lips, otherwise ambient
noise can be intrusive and make understanding difficult.
•Use only microphones or headsets, which are suitable for ground-stations. Incoming
radiation on the equipment antenna can affect the integrated amplifier of the microphone
(feedback). This is noticeable in the station by whistling and/or heavy distortion. The
described disturbances can occur in different ways on different transmit channels.
•Transmit buttons can stick, or TX line is short circuited thus causing continuous carrier
signal on the active channel. Therefore ensure that the display (sign “
when the “TX” button was released.
”) disappeared
2.9.4. Antenna Check
•Check the VSWR (voltage standing wave ratio) over the complete frequency band (e.g. by
using a VHF Reflection-Coefficient Meter).
The VSWR ratio should be less than 2:1 and is not acceptable when exceeding 3:1.

The TG660 power supply logic is operating with AC-power by default.
After AC power failed, the logic automatically switches over to DC power. The moment AC power
becomes available the logic returns back to AC power source.
An optional intern al 12 VDC battery inside the T G660, if installed, co uld provide power for continued
operation over a certain time if AC and DC supply voltage would fail at the same time.
After a changeover from AC to DC power or vice-versa, the station is operable with the same functions
