Important Notice
Because of the nature of wireless communication, transmission and reception of data can never be guaranteed. Data may
be delayed, corrupted (i.e., have errors), or be totally lost. Significant delays or losses of data are rare when wireless devices
such as the Integra-TR are used in a normal manner with a well-constructed network. Integra-TR should not be used in
situations where failure to transmit or receive data could result in damage of any kind to the user or any other party,
including but not limited to personal injury, death, or loss of property. CalAmp accepts no responsibility for damages of any
kind resulting from delays or errors in data transmitted or received using Integra-TR, or for the failure of Integra-TR to
transmit or receive such data.

2.5 PHYSICAL DESCRIPTIO N
Integra-TR consists of a logic PCB (which includes modem circuitry) and a radio module. Each logic PCB and radio module
are matched together and characterized in the factory to optimize performance as an intelligent unit. The two boards then
slide into the rails of an extruded aluminum case.
DTE connection is made via a front panel connector. Power is applied through a rear panel 4-pin connector which includes
two programmable analog connections usable as inputs or outputs.
The unit is not hermetically sealed and should be mounted in a suitable enclosure when dust and/or a corrosive
atmosphere are anticipated. Physically, there are no external switches or adjustments. All operating parameters are set
using the Field Programming Software.
2.6 DIAGNOSTICS
Integra-TR has sophisticated built-in diagnostics that may be transmitted automatically without interfering with normal
network operation. In addition, commands to generate test transmissions, etc., may be issued either locally or remotely.
Diagnostic information takes one of two forms:
Online Diagnostics - Information is automatically sent by each unit at the beginning of every data transmission.
Integra-TR User Manual Page | 12
Offline Diagnostics - Information is sent by a specific unit in response to an inquiry made locally or from another station.
2.7 FIRMWARE UPDATES
The Integra-TR firmware resides in flash EPROM and is designed to allow field updates.
Updates are done using a PC connected to the Integra-TR but do not require opening the unit. Updates will be coordinated
by DRL’s Technical Service.
2.8 NETWORK APPLICATION
Integra-TR is suited to a variety of network applications. Its primary design goal was to satisfy the needs of SCADA systems
using RTUs or PLCs in either point-to-point or point-to-multipoint service.
This section gives an overview of some common configurations. Selection of “master” or “remote” as well as data delivery
conditions is done using the Integra-TR Field Programming Software.
2.8.1 RF PATH AND COMMUNICATIONS RANGE
Integra-TR is designed for use over distances up to 30 miles + (50 km) depending on terrain and antenna system. To assure
reliable communications, the RF (radio frequency) path between stations should be studied by a competent professional
who can determine what antennas are required and whether or not a repeater is needed. Your CalAmp Sales
Representative can assist you.
2.8.2 BASIC CONNECTIONS
The connections required are shown in Figure 3.
While an RTU or PLC is shown in the diagram, master stations often use a PC running an application designed to
communicate with remote RTUs or PLCs. The Setup PC is used for both configuration and local and remote diagnostics. It
may be left connected at all times but is not required for normal operation once the unit has been configured.
Figure 3 - Basic Required Connections
Integra-TR User Manual Page | 13
2.8.3 COMMON CHARACTERISTICS
The networks described in this section share common characteristics:
1. The DTE (data terminal equipment) network speed (1200, 2400, 4800, 9600 and 19,200 b/s) must be the same for all
stations in a network.
2. Transmission of online diagnostics may be enabled or disabled at any station or stations without affecting their ability
to communicate with other stations.
2.8.4 POINT-TO-POINT SYSTEM
Simple point-to-point connection is shown in Figure 4.
Figure 4 - Point-to-Point System
In this system, the user's equipment (DTE) may be set up in either a peer-to-peer or a Master-Remote configuration.
2.8.5 POINT-TO-MULTIPOINT SYSTEM
Basic point-to-multipoint systems are shown in Figure 5.
Figure 5 - Point-to-Multipoint System (simplex or half-duplex)
If a half-duplex radio network is used (i.e. two frequencies with the master station transmitting and receiving on the reverse
pair from the remotes), the master station can be either full duplex or half-duplex.
If a simplex radio network is used (i.e. a single frequency for all stations), we recommend that the master Integra-TR be set
to “master”, the remotes to “remote” and all units to “selective” data delivery. This will prevent remote stations from
hearing each other's responses. For full duplex configuration, set the receiving unit Rx/Tx Mode to Rx Only (using the Field
Programming Software). Set the transmitting unit mode to Tx Only.

Figure 7 - Point-to-Multipoint System (full-duplex repeater)
2.8.6 EXTENDING A LANDLINE (TAIL CIRCUIT)
Integra-TR may be used to extend a landline circuit (giving access to difficult locations, etc.). This type of connection is
called a “tail circuit” and is shown in Figure 8. The tail circuit assembly may be used in any of the network types described in
the preceding sections.
Figure 8 - Landline (Tail Circuit)
Note: The line modems should be full-duplex units.
Integra-TR User Manual Page | 15
Figure 9 - DCE Crossover Cable for RTS-CTS Mode
Some point-to-point FDX landline modems or line drivers may require the use of DOX mode and an alternate pinout for
DTR, DCD, CTS and RTS as shown in Figure 10.

3 FEATURES AND OPERATION
3.1 OVERVIEW
This chapter describes the connections, indicators, and operating characteristics of the Integra-TR. This chapter is intended
for system application and installation personnel.
3.2 FRONT PANEL
The various front panel elements are described in the following sections.
3.2.1 ANTENNA CONNECTOR
Antenna connector is a female 50-ohm SMA- type. Units operated with a “rubber duck” antenna connected directly to the
antenna connector may exhibit unusual operating characteristics and high levels of reverse power.
3.2.2 CONNECTION TO DTE
Integra-TR is configured as DCE. Most DTE devices should be connected using a nine-conductor pin-to-pin “straight” cable
(CalAmp part number 697-4008-408). Some RTUs or PLCs may require a special cable to route the signals correctly. See the
documentation for your data equipment for further information. Contact CalAmp for DTE interface information or review
CalAmp’s Technical Services Application Notes available on our website at www.calamp.com.
3.2.3 LED INDICATORS
Integra-TR has four two-color LED indicators. Their functions are shown in Table 3.

3.2.4 COM PORT
DTE baud rates from 1200 to 19200 are supported. Integra-TR's are factory set (default) for 2400 b/s (6.25 kHz) or 9600 b/s
(12.5 & 25 kHz), 8 bits, no parity, and 1 stop bit. Unless required by your operating protocol, we advise restricting port
speed to be equal to or less than the RF network speed.

3.2.4.1 CONNECTOR PIN OUT
The DE-9F pin out is shown in Figure 11 for reference.
Figure 11 - COM and Setup Port Connectors Pin Locations
3.2.4.2 WIRE CONNECTION (DOX)
For DTE that lack RTS control, Integra-TR can operate in DOX mode (Data Operated Transmit) with only Transmit Data,
Receive Data and Ground (“3-wire interface”).
Figure 12 - 3-wire Interface
3.2.5 SETUP PORT
The Setup port uses a DE-9 female connector configured as DCE. Signals are described in Table 5.
