This chapter describes how to install your transceiver and
connect the components that make up your station.
It covers:
• type of station (2-2)
• installing the transceiver (2-5)
• installing the control head (2-7)
• power supply (2-10)
• grounding—RF earth (2-12)
• ancillary equipment (2-16).
On receipt of your transceiver, check the contents against the
packing list. Ensure all items are available before starting
installation.
The procedures for installing your transceiver are not
comprehensive. They are to be used as a guide only. We
recommend that installation be carried out by qualified and
experienced personnel.
Installation
2-2 9390 Reference manual
Type of station
You can operate the transceiver from more than one place if
you attach control heads to your system. Control heads have
the same control panel as the transceiver. The smaller depth
of the control head allows you to mount the unit where there
is insufficient space for the transceiver.
There are two types of station:
• coast station
• ship station.
Coast station
A fixed base coast station typically consists of an AC power
supply connected directly to the mains. DC output from the
power supply is connected to the transceiver which, in turn, is
connected to an antenna system.

Where cables must pass through bulkheads with sharp edges,
the insulation of the cables should be protected by grommets.
Holes in the bulkhead need only be large enough to allow the
end of the cable with the smaller connector to pass through
(for example, the control cable between the control head and
the transceiver).
If the power and control cables are long and follow a common
path, keep the cables separated by at least 200mm. The cables
can be closer together for short distances, for example, to pass
through the same hole in the bulkhead.
Failure to observe this warning can cause distortion of the
transmitted audio signals.
Installation
9390 Reference manual 2-5
Installing the transceiver
The transceiver must be mounted in a position that:
•
allows easy access to the controls
•
allows a free flow of air through the rear cooling fins
•
is not exposed to direct sunlight
•
will not cause injury in the event of rough conditions or an
accident.
Mounting the cradle, gimbals and transceiver
The cradle and gimbals for mounting the transceiver are
suitable for locations where there is enough space available
to slide the transceiver in and out.
The cradle provides DC isolation for the transceiver.
To mount the cradle, gimbals and transceiver:
1. Assemble the supplied pair of mounting gimbals onto the
cradle in the position and angle that provides good access
to the mounted transceiver controls. Two fixing bolts
(M5 x 8mm) for each gimbal are supplied.
2. Secure the cradle in position with the rotating cam
catches to the front. Ensure there is sufficient space at the
rear of the cradle to clear the transceiver heat sink and
connectors.
3. Align both cam catch slots with the T-section slides.

(extension loudspeaker)
socket.
6. Insert the foam grommet into the slot on the cover plate.
7. The cover plate can be rotated to give you either top or
bottom cable entry. Replace the cover plate and secure it
with the four screws.
8. Make sure that the transceiver is disconnected from the
DC power source.
9. Plug the control cable into the
Remote Control
connector on the rear panel of the transceiver. Fasten the
cable securely.
10. Plug in the microphone by gently rotating the plug in the
microphone socket until the pins locate. Push the plug
home and fasten the locking ring until finger-tight. Do
not over tighten.
11. If the 6-metre control cable is too long, gather the excess
neatly and secure it out of the way. Do not cut the cable.
Make sure that the transceiver is disconnected from the DC
power source before connecting the control head to the
Remote Control
connector on the transceiver.
Installation
2-10 9390 Reference manual
Power supply
Ensure that the power supply and power cable for the
transceiver is suitable for correct and safe system operation.
For both 12V and 24V DC systems the power source can be
mains operated or battery.
Mains operated supply
We recommend the Codan AC power supply 9113 or 9114
for 12V DC operated 9390 front or extended control
transceivers. The 9114 is necessary if you are going to use
your transceiver for fax or data transmissions.
We recommend the heavy duty AC power supply accessory
code 507 for 24V DC operated systems using the 9390-H
receiver-exciter and the PA type 4404.
Battery supply
You can use standard, heavy duty 12V or 24V batteries as the
system supply. If a 12V system has to be powered from a
24V battery, install the accessory code 508 voltage regulator
(12V) within two metres of the transceiver.
DC power cable
It is important that the size of the DC power cable (cross
sectional area) is sufficient to keep the voltage drop between
power source and transceiver within close limits.
To check the effectiveness of the power cable installation
with the tuner and antenna connected, press the
Tune
button
and measure the voltage at the transceiver end of the cable.
The voltage should not drop more than 0.5V compared with
the voltage on receive only.
Installation
9390 Reference manual 2-11
9390 front and extended control 12V systems are supplied
with 6-metre power cables. 9390-H receiver-exciter 24V 400
watt systems are supplied with 2-metre power cables. If a
supplied cable is too short, a larger cable size must be used
replacing the existing cable. Refer to the following table.

18 metres 25mm2 (19/1.35mm) 50mm2 (19/1.78mm)
Protect all cables from sharp edges and mechanical abrasion.
We recommend that you fit a suitable cartridge fuse in the
active wire close to the battery or main isolating switch. This
protects the power cable and your vessel from risk of fire
should damaged insulation cause a short circuit. Use a 32A
fuse for a 12V system (accessory code 711) or a 50A fuse for
a 24V, 400 watt system. Do not use normal glass in-line
automotive fuses as these cause too high a voltage drop
during transmission.
A qualified technician should check your installation before
power is applied to the transceiver.
In extended control installations where the power and control
cables are long and follow a common path, keep the cables
separated by at least 200mm. The cables can be closer
together for short distances, for example, to pass through the
same hole in the bulkhead.
Failure to observe this warning can cause distortion of the
transmitted audio signals.
Installation
2-12 9390 Reference manual
Grounding—RF earth
A good ground (RF earth) is essential for efficient operation
of the installed transceiver system.
This section is a general guide for achieving the best
performance from your installation. For maximum reliability
and safety, we recommend that you also seek expert advice
specific to your installation.
Inappropriate earthing can result in severe damage to your
vessel through electrolytic corrosion.
The chassis and earth point of the 9390 transceiver are
connected to the negative supply. The 9390-H receiverexciter, control head, PA type 4404, code 733B Aerial DC
Isolator and antenna tuners have isolated earth points.
Ship stations
A metal hulled vessel in salt water provides an almost ideal
ground. Connect the tuner and any other equipment requiring
an earth to the hull using the shortest possible ground strap.
To minimise contact resistance, use a large, clean and paintfree contact area.

The earth plate may be a 1mm thick copper sheet of at least
0.25 square metres or an E-plate, such as accessory code 157.
Multiple earth plates may be an advantage.
Bonding should be with 25–50mm wide copper straps for
lengths up to two metres. Use proportionately wider or
multiple straps for longer runs. A thickness of 0.5mm is
sufficient since the RF current only flows on the conductor
surface. Alternatively, you can use 20mm diameter copper
tubing.
Run one or more bonding straps from the earth plate to the
antenna tuner. Where possible, joints should be brazed and
inspected regularly for corrosion.

Coast stations
For typical coast station installations (see Figure 2.1 on page
2-2) we recommend that you earth the chassis ground point of
the transceiver.
You can establish an effective ground with an earthing spike
or water pipe that has good soil contact and is free of joints
that could increase the path resistance to earth. Use copper
braid of at least 12mm wide for the connection.
Installation
9390 Reference manual 2-15
9390 transceiver and control head grounding
Grounding the 9390 transceiver or control head is
unnecessary for most installations. If RF interference causes
transmit distortion, you may need to ground either or both
units.
The transceiver chassis is connected to battery negative and
will be DC isolated from ground when installed with the
cradle (see Installing the transceiver on page 2-5).
If the transceiver needs to be grounded, use a code 733B
Aerial DC Isolator to isolate the transceiver when connecting
to the antenna tuner and the RF earth point.
To earth the control head, earth the mounting bracket by
ensuring that the screws holding the mounting bracket are not
insulated. It may be necessary to remove paint from around
the screws to ensure a good contact.
Installation
2-16 9390 Reference manual
Ancillary equipment
There is a range of ancillary equipment you can connect to
the transceiver. For details, see Chapter 11, Connecting
ancillary equipment.
Antennas and antenna tuners
Correct installation of the antenna and antenna tuner is
important for good transceiver operation.
To obtain the best performance and good radiation efficiency
from your transceiver, consider the antenna and antenna
tuner’s:
• physical location
• distance from the transceiver
• grounding.
Follow the installation instructions provided with each
antenna and antenna tuner to achieve the best possible
performance.

Channel and scan table setup
3-2 9390 Reference manual
Customising channels
You can customise the way channels are set up in your
transceiver. For example, you might want to:
• change channel comments to help you remember how
channels are used
• copy regularly used channels to group them for
convenience (for example, creating a group of 10
channels with channel numbers 9001 to 9010).
Channel settings
Transmit channel settings consist of:
• frequency (either a single transmit/receive frequency or a
two-frequency simplex)
• sideband (upper and AM—lower/selectable needs local
authority approval)
• tone call group (1–4 or none)
• selcall group (option, 1–5 or none)
• channel protection (on/off)
• channel comment (description of channel).
Receive-only channel settings consist of:
• frequency
• sideband (upper/lower/selectable)
• channel protection (on/off)
• channel comment (description of channel).
When you send a call, the frequency and sideband have to be
the same for both stations. The channel number is
unimportant.
Channel and scan table setup
9390 Reference manual 3-3
Changing channel settings
Factory fitted, standard marine channels consist of:
• protected channels
• Radphone channels.
If you want to change the settings of a protected channel,
make an unprotected copy of the channel and edit the copy.
You may then change any channel setting except for the
transmit frequency.
If your transceiver has option TXE, you can change the
setting of a protected channel including the transmit
frequency.
You can change Radphone channel options and comments
but not frequencies (even with TXE). To reset a Radphone
channel to its factory set condition, you delete the modified
version. You cannot delete factory set Radphone channels.
If you change the single transmit/receive frequency of a
transmit channel, the channel becomes a two-frequency
simplex with a new receive frequency. The transmit
frequency remains unchanged.

editing is switched on (see Chapter 8, Scan table editing
on/off).
Each scan table can hold up to ten channels. You can add a
channel to the scan table more than once if you want the
channel to be scanned several times in each scan cycle.
You can select one of several scan types as displayed:
‘
Selcall
’
(option)
Selcall scanning is the normal setting if you have
enabled the selcall option and you expect to
receive selcalls. Mute is on so that no voice
transmissions are heard. (Use of selcall mute
needs to be on. See Chapter 8, Selcall mute
availability on/off.)
Each channel is scanned for 0.6 seconds.
Scanning only stops for selcalls.
‘
Cont
’
Use Continuous scanning if you want to listen to
voice traffic as the channels are scanned.
Each channel is scanned for 0.6 seconds.
Scanning only stops for selcalls. Mute is off.
‘
Pause
’ Use Pause scanning if you expect voice calls and
want scanning to pause for five seconds when
voice is detected on the channel.
Each channel is scanned for one second unless
voice is detected. Scanning also stops for
selcalls.

4 Using Setup mode
Setup mode allows you to view and change settings that
control transceiver operation.
This chapter:
• explains how to use Setup mode (4-2)
• lists the procedures available in Setup mode (4-3)
• gives some tips on using Setup mode for advanced users
(4-7).
You should read this chapter before running any of the Setup
mode procedures. Chapters 5–8 cover Setup mode
procedures in detail.
Using Setup mode procedures
4-2 9390 Reference manual
Using Setup mode
You enter Setup mode by pressing the
Mode
button on the
control panel four times starting with the Channel mode
setting.
The easiest way to use Setup mode is to find which procedure
you want from the following list and turn to the description of
the procedure for further details and step by step guidance.
Procedures are listed in Chapters 5–8.
You start each transceiver procedure by entering a setup
code.
Procedures labelled optional are only available if you contact
Codan for a password to enable them in your transceiver (see
Chapter 7, Password entry to enable transceiver options).
If you make a mistake in setting a value and want to avoid
saving your changes, press the F1 button on the control panel
or
PTT
button on the microphone to return to an earlier step
in the procedure. Repeated pressing of either button
progresses you back to Channel mode.
If you do not touch any button or knob for 60 seconds while
in Setup mode, the transceiver automatically reverts to
Channel mode. If this happens while you are in the middle of
a procedure, start the procedure again.
The descriptions for the procedures show examples of
channel and frequency numbers. You must enter your own
values.

9390 Reference manual 4-9
If you are comfortable using menus and selecting menu
options, you can refer to the Setup mode tree instead of
entering setup codes to access each procedure. This allows
you to use Setup mode by directly following the guidance
shown on the transceiver display.
Each branch in the menu tree shows:
• the name of the menu item shown on the display
• the name in small print of the equivalent procedure in
this manual, if any, for this menu item
• the setup code in parentheses.
To navigate around the Setup mode tree, use front panel
button:
•
F2
to select a highlighted menu option and advance
down the tree
•
F1
to go back up the tree to the previous menu.
For example, you could branch down to the ‘
Power Up
’
menu and view each of the ‘
Power Up
’ menu options,
‘
Message
’, ‘
Mute
’ and ‘
Show ID
’, in turn making any
changes to settings as necessary.

5 Setup procedures (part 1)
This chapter describes the following Setup mode procedures:
• ALE option settings (option, 5-2)
• ALE option reset (option, 5-9)
• ALE sounding interval (option, 5-11)
• Beep loudness (5-13)
• Call preamble length (option, 5-15)
• Call privacy on/off (option, 5-17)
• Clock calibration (5-19)
• Clock setting (5-21)
• Clone a transceiver (5-26).
Setup procedures (part 1)
5-2 9390 Reference manual
ALE option settings (option)
Setup code 2431
This procedure controls how the ALE (Automatic Link
Establishment) controller works.
Before you can use this procedure, you need to enable both the
selcall and ALE options (see Chapter 7, Password entry to
enable transceiver options).
There are 17 ALE system settings numbered 0–16. These
settings control ALE call performance and do not usually
require changing. You can change nine. The remaining eight
are not displayed since their values are fixed.
Setting No. Description
0 Sounding On/Off
2 Channel Quality Decay Time
3 Sounding Signal Length
5 BER Threshold
6 Golay Threshold
7 Error Threshold
11 ALE Silent Mode
13 Call Retry Limit
14 Channel Quality Averaging
For further information, this manual should be read in
conjunction with the 9300 ALE controller user guide (Codan
part number 15-04046).
Setup procedures (part 1)
9390 Reference manual 5-3
Sounding On/Off (ALE option 0)
This ALE option switches sounding on or off.
When sounding is switched off, your transceiver no longer
sends or receives ALE sounding signals. For correct ALE
operation, you should leave sounding on all the time.
If ALE Silent Mode (ALE option 11) is switched on, the
Sounding On/Off option setting is ignored and your station
does not send or receive ALE sounding signals. To set the
sounding interval, see ALE sounding interval on page 5-11.
Channel Quality Decay Time (ALE option 2)
This ALE option sets the artificial decay time for the record
of channel quality that is stored in the channel quality table in
ALE controller memory.
You can switch decay off or set a decay time in the range
1–8 hours.
For example, switching the sounding off and setting a decay
time of four hours would result in the record of a perfect
channel (100% channel quality) decaying to an unusable
channel (0% channel quality) over a period of four hours.
Sounding Signal Length (ALE option 3)
This ALE option sets the length in seconds of the sounding
transmission for each channel in the scan group.
When an ALE station sends sounding signals, a separate
signal is transmitted for each channel in the scan group. The
ALE station sends these signals sequentially. The total length
of the sounding transmission is the product of the sounding
signal length and the number of channels.
For example, if the sounding signal length is set to 10 seconds
and the scan group contains seven channels, the ALE station
takes 70 seconds to complete sounding transmission.
Setup procedures (part 1)
5-4 9390 Reference manual
The default sounding signal length is the minimum setting
(under five seconds). The maximum setting is 100 seconds.
Bit Error Rate (BER) Threshold (ALE option 5)
This ALE option sets the value of the BER Threshold used in
BER testing.
You can set a value in the range 0–48.
BER testing is a method of error detection for ALE word
transmission. ALE stations send and receive ALE link
controlling information in blocks of data called ALE words.
An ALE word consists of a 3-bit preamble and a 21-bit data
field.
The result of BER error testing is used in helping to decide
whether the ALE link can be established using the current
channel.
The higher the BER value of a transmitted ALE word, the
greater the error. A BER value of 0 indicates perfect
reception of an ALE word. The maximum BER value of 48
indicates that all bits of the ALE word were bad.
If a received ALE word contains more errors than the BER
Threshold, the ALE controller rejects the word. The lower
you set the BER Threshold, the tougher the test for rejecting
transmission errors.
Golay Threshold (ALE option 6)
This ALE option sets the value of the Golay Threshold used
in Golay testing.
You can set a value in the range 0–4.
Golay testing is an additional method of error detection for
ALE word transmission. The result of Golay error testing is
used in helping to decide whether the ALE link can be
established using the selected channel.
Setup procedures (part 1)
9390 Reference manual 5-5
The higher the Golay value calculated for a received ALE
word, the greater the error.
If a received ALE word contains more errors than the Golay
Threshold, the ALE controller rejects the word. The lower
you set the Golay Threshold, the tougher the test for rejecting
transmission errors.
Error Threshold (ALE option 7)
This ALE option sets the maximum number of sequentially
received bad ALE words which are allowed before the ALE
controller decides that the quality of the current channel is too
poor to establish an ALE link. A bad word is a word that has
exceeded either the BER or Golay Threshold.
You can set a value in the range 0–4.
If the test fails during the process of establishing the ALE
link, the call aborts and the transceiver returns to Scan mode.
ALE Silent Mode (ALE option 11)
This ALE option switches ALE Silent mode on or off.
When ALE Silent mode is switched off, the station runs as a
normal ALE station.
When ALE Silent mode is switched on, the station no longer:
• recognises any incoming ALE calls
• sends or receives sounding signals even if Sounding
On/Off (ALE option 0) is switched on.
You can still send ALE calls in ALE Silent mode.
Setup procedures (part 1)
5-6 9390 Reference manual
Call Retry Limit (ALE option 13)
This ALE option controls the number of times the ALE
station tries to establish an ALE link using each channel in
turn from the scan group.
You can set 99 for no limit or a value in the range 0–98.
On each selected channel, two attempts are made to establish
a link before trying the next preferred channel, where two
more attempts are made and so on, until all channels in the
scan table have been tried (unless a link is established).
The sequence is then repeated dependent upon the number set
in the Call Retry Limit.
If a link is not established, the display shows ‘
LINK FAILED
’
accompanied by error ‘beeps’. Retry duration can be up to
one minute per channel.
Channel Quality Averaging (ALE option 14)
This ALE option sets the method used to update an existing
channel quality value stored in ALE controller memory when
the new channel quality reading is worse than the stored
value.
You can:
• replace old values with new readings
• replace old values with different weighted averages of the
old values and new readings.
Averaging reduces the effect that one bad reading might
otherwise have on a perfect channel. If a new reading is better
than an old value, the old value is replaced by the reading.

To send an ALE call, your station needs to be set up with an
ALE controller.
The preamble is part of the coded selcall and ALE message
structure which is transmitted when you send a call. The
preamble allows the receiving station sufficient time to scan
to the selected channel and recognise the incoming call. ALE
calls need a longer preamble than selcalls.
You can set the preamble for:
• ‘
Selcall
’
• ‘
ALE
’.
The ‘

The clock is used for timing incoming selective calls recorded
in call memory.
You can adjust the running of the clock by changing the
number of seconds that the clock gains or loses each month.
The calibration range is -150 to +310 seconds/month in steps
of 10 (approximate values).
The first time you calibrate the clock, set the value to zero
seconds/month. Over a period of a few months, see if the
clock gains or loses time and recalibrate as necessary.

Clone a transceiver
This procedure copies the settings from one 9390 transceiver
to another by a process called cloning. Cloning allows you to
set up several 9390 transceivers that all work in exactly the
same way.
You clone transceivers by connecting the microphone socket
of the transceiver which is already set up to the microphone
socket of a transceiver which is to be cloned.
You can obtain the cable required for this procedure from an
authorised Codan dealer (Codan part no. 08-05138-001).
Except for the PIN and the self ID, the cloning procedure
overwrites all settings in the transceiver you are copying into.
To clone a transceiver:
Action Notes
1.
Use the Cloning cable to
join the microphone
sockets of the two
transceivers.
2.
Switch on both
transceivers.
