With second-generation Digital Voice, you have the confi dence to communicate anywhere and anytime
without the need for existing infrastructure. Codan manpacks are extremely light and deliver the lowest power
consumption of any available manpack transceiver, meaning you can operate continuously on a single charge
for up to 65 hours. Comfortable to carry and packed with easy-to-use features, Codan manpacks are ideal for
all types of terrain and weather conditions, complying with the toughest environmental standards including MIL-
STD-810F. The manpack transceiver and battery compartment are made from lightweight alloys and
high-impact plastics, both capable of withstanding immersion to a depth of 1 m.

Antennas

Codan has a reputation for building superior and reliable HF antennas,

and our range of tactical antennas for the 2110 Manpack series are

no exception. They provide maximum durability and mobility with

quick deployment for short and long range communications.

LONG BATTERY LIFE

Using state of the art technology,
Codan’s 2110 series Transceivers have
by far the lowest current consumption
of any available Manpack Transceiver.
This enables continuous operation
for several days on a single battery
charge, which can save some users
from carrying spare batteries.

INTELLIGENT BATTERY SYSTEM

Codan’s unique battery management
technology continuously monitors
the battery condition and remaining
capacity. The Transceivers’ front panel
shows remaining operating hours,
reassuring users of their ability to
communicate in mission
critical operations.

The intelligent monitoring system
also monitors battery charging
and prevents batteries from being
overcharged. This ensures maximum
battery life and minimises
operational costs.

Users can charge batteries via
the Transceivers’ front panels
either while they are operating
the manpacks or separately.

Three programmable function keys
for commonly accessed functions

The 2110v and 2110 are compatible
with a range of battery charging
solutions for either AC or DC sources.

INTEROPERABILITY WITH ADVANCED
CALLING FACILITIES

The 2110 series Transceivers provide
seamless operation with Codan’s
NGT™ base and vehicle Transceivers.
They are fully interoperable with
NGT™ 4 and 6 digit calling facilities
including Phone call, Message call,
GPS call, Get Status call, and
Over-The-Air (OTA) remote
confi guration and remote
disable capabilities.

SMART, FAST & FULLY AUTOMATIC
ANTENNA TUNER

Both the 2110v and 2110 feature
an integrated antenna tuner that
provides smart, fast and fully
automatic tuning of whip and
long wire antennas.

From the moment an antenna
is connected, the Transceivers
automatically detect the antenna
and tune it to the operating frequency.

Clearly labelled backlit keypad provides one
key access to standard functions

Power on/off button 19-way expansion

Recessed front panel
protects keypad buttons

Users no longer have to select tuning
modes, antenna types or manually
initiate the tune cycle.

Initial tuning typically occurs
within 2.5 seconds and takes only
50 milliseconds when tuning
from memory.

The tuner is fully protected against
unexpected antenna loads and
mismatches, overvoltage, or
continuous use.

A separate 50 ohm BNC connection
is also available for broadband and
other untuned antennas.

The 2110 supports connection to
external antenna tuners such as
the 9350 Automatic Tuning
Whip Antenna.

CLEAR COMMUNICATIONS WITH DSP
NOISE REDUCTION —

Codan’s Digital Signal Processing (DSP)
techniques greatly reduce the effect
of interference and channel noise
to provide clearer communications.
Easitalk™ operates at the press of a
button and the result is a loud and
clear signal at all times.

INNOVATIVE & USER-FRIENDLY
INTERFACE

Codan’s intuitive interface is easy
to use right from the start and
minimises training time and costs.
The Transceivers’ menu driven
interface includes a smart address
book containing up to 100 names, call
locations, and even pre-programmed
text messages. It also features one key
access to standard functions and pre­programmed sequences.

The front panel includes an internal
speaker, full alpha-numeric keypad,
and a large display that are backlit
for night time operations.

The Transceivers are highly
confi gurable and support both user
and administrative access levels. This
includes the ability to simplify the user
interface by restricting a user to only
those functions that are necessary to
operate the Transceivers.

INTEGRATED GPS RECEIVER

Both the 2110v and 2110 support
an integrated GPS receiver option,
which enables you to monitor your
own location, and your distance and

bearing from other transceivers
within a network.

Emergency calls sent through the
unique one button emergency
facility automatically include
GPS position information.

Using CODAN™ GPS and tracking
software, a base station operator
can track manpack units on a single
map. Warning messages can be issued
if the fi eld operator enters a no-go
area for added security. For extra
protection, GPS data can be encrypted
so positions are only seen by
authorised users.

VOICE & DATA SECURITY

Codan’s Voice Encryptor option
is available with both Manpack
Transceivers, and can prevent third
party monitoring of communications
that may otherwise jeopardise an
operation. It uses a patented voice
encryption technology to ensure
sensitive information remains
confi dential.

For added security, the 2110 series
Transceivers also support encryption
of transmitted text messages and
GPS position information.

WORLDWIDE SUPPORT

Codan customers are supported
with our worldwide network of Accredited
Service Centres, agents and distributors
— 24 hours a day. Regular auditing and
training by Codan technical staff ensure
the best after sales service. The 2110 series
Transceivers are backed by a
3 year warranty.

UPGRADABILITY & EASY SERVICE

The 2110 series Transceivers are designed
to preserve your investment in the
equipment by supporting future
features and capabilities. Their large
memory capacity and digital signal
processing capabilities enable them to be
extended easily through software updates.

The Transceivers’ modular design makes
them simple to service and repair with a
minimum of tools. A range of built-in test
capabilities makes it easy to test and report
on the Transceivers’ performance.

All CODAN™ Transceivers are fully
protected from faults such as antenna
damage, overvoltage and reverse polarity,
which can destroy other transceivers.
