ARi-51 CTCSS ENCODER

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The ARi-51 is an exceptional sub-miniature CTCSS encoder device, providing 50
CTCSS tones plus 14 factory configurable tones. Selection is achieved through solder
bridges.

INSTALLATION

Installation and programming of this CES product must be completed by a qualified
two-way radio technician or engineer. CES is not responsible for any operational
problems caused by system design, outside interference, or improper installation.
Observe static prevention practices.

Before Installing

The ARi-51 may be installed in almost any mobile or portable radio. The encoder
should be programmed prior to performing the actual installation into the radio.

Output Level Adjustment

The output tone level can be adjusted by turning R7 to increase or decrease the output
level. See Figure 1 for component layout diagram. The setting may vary from radio to
radio. Adjust the output level to achieve 500hz deviation on a 25khz system, 250Khz
on a 12.5Khz system. Verify that the modulation does not go into limiting when the
CTCSS tone is being transmitted.

TX Tone Phase Reversal

Tone Phase Reversal can be enabled or disabled on the ARi-51 using JP2. See Figure
1 for location diagram. Tone Phase Reversal is enabled when JP2 is open. The unit is
shipped with JP2 open. To disable, short JP2. If JP2 is short (disabled), Tone Phase
Reversal can be enabled/disabled externally by using pin 5 of the input/output wiring
harness, see Table 2.

Programmable Input Polarity

The active phase of the PTT Input can be programmed with JP1. Solder the jumper for
active high, leave open for active low.

Tone Selection

Following Table 1 place solder bridges on the specified coding pads. X means solder
bridge required, blank means leave bridge open. The location of the solder bridges on
the PCB are shown in Figure 1.

Wiring Interface

This sub miniature module will easily fit in almost all popular mobile and portable
radios. Most radio manufacturers provide recommended hook up points in their radios
for CTCSS. Where possible follow the manufacturers instructions. See Table 2 for
wiring details.

Mounting Details

Place the provided heatshrink tubing around the ARi-51 module and shrink the tubing
with a heat gun (preferred). Mount the encoder to a suitable location in the radio,
preferably away from high RF and sensitive receiving stages, with the provided
double-sided tape. Note: Do not overheat the encoder while using a heat gun. You

will melt the solder and the SMD components on the circuit board will become
dislodged, causing failure of the encoder, and voiding of the warranty.

Figure 2. Circuit Diagram ARi-51

12 V: Connect to the radio’s switched transmit voltage source.

Ground: Connect to the radio 0 volt point (ground).

Tone Out: Connect to a (transmit) audio point after the limiter/

clipper stage but before the radio’s modulator. Do not connect to the
radio’s microphone input as distortion will occur.

PTT In: Connect to microphone PTT switch.

Phase Reversal Input: This input can be used to activate Phase

Reversal (JP1 must be shorted).
