Safety Considerations

This product and manual must be thoroughly understood
before attempting installation and operation. To do so
without proper knowledge can result in equipment failure
and bodily injury.
Caution: Before applying ac power, be sure that the
equipment has be properly configured for the available
line voltage. Attempted operation at the wrong voltage
can result in damage and voids the warranty. See the
manuals section on installation. DO NOT operate equipment
with cover removed.
Earth Ground: All Datron products are supplied with a
standard, 3-wire, grounded ac plug. DO NOT attempt to
disable the ground terminal by using 2-wire adapters of
any type. Any disconnection of the equipment ground
causes a potential shock hazard that could result in personal
injury. DO NOT operate any equipment until a suitable ground
has been established. Consult the manual section on ground­ing.
Servicing: Trained personnel should only carry out servicing.
To avoid electric shock, DO NOT open the case
unless qualified to do so.
Various measurements and adjustments described in this man­ual are performed in ac power applied and the protective
covers removed. Capacitors (particularly the
large power supply electrolytics) can remain charged for
a considerable time after the unit has been shut off. Use
particular care when working around them, as a short circuit
can release sufficient energy to cause damage to the equipment
and possible injury.
To protect against fire hazard, always replace line fuses
with ones of the same current rating and type (normal
delay, slow-blow, etc.). DO NOT use higher value
replacements in an attempt to prevent fuse failure. If
fuses are failing repeatedly this indicates a probable
defect in the equipment that needs attention.
Use only genuine Datron factory parts for full performance
and safety of this product.

CHAPTER 2

INSTALLATION

This section contains information necessary to install the RT7000 in its
operating environment. Power, antenna, and accessory connections are
discussed. System diagrams are provided to show the proper connections to a
variety of accessories.

Unpacking and Inspection

When unpacking the RT7000, carefully remove the equipment from its
container and inspect it for any possible damage. If anything is damaged, notify
Datron. Check the equipment against the packing list. Save the original
container and packing materials for storage or reshipping purposes.

Location Considerations

The RT7000 can be deployed successfully in various locations, in a number of
different configurations, depending on whether remote or extended control is
used. Information in this section pertains to the main body of the RT7000,
whether it is controlled locally or from a remote site.

Fixed Station Unless otherwise specified when ordered, the RT7000 is shipped ready for

operation. It is also available for mounting in a rack, provided the appropriate
rack kit is ordered.

Make sure the temperature at the location is within the specified range, and that
there is adequate ventilation around the rear of the RT7000 to allow for air flow.
The RT7000 has a rear panel heat sink to dissipate heat that is generated from
the power amplifier during transmission. The RT7000FAN-1 external option
provides continuous cooling when conditions require heavy use.

To prevent unwanted noise, locate the RT7000 as far away as possible from
electrostatic and magnetic field-generating equipment.

When attaching external cables to the RT7000, allow for sufficient slack in the
cables. This prevents damage from sharp bends and ensures easy disconnection.

Vehicular or
Marine

Use the mobile mount to mount the RT7000. It may be necessary to fabricate
special supplementary brackets to complement a particular vehicle or shipboard
location. Datron offers rack, mobile, and shock mount kits for the RT7000,
suitable for most installations.

The RT7000 is designed to work into a 50 ohm RF impedance. The output RF
antenna connector is a type N connector. Broadband antennas and dipoles can
be connected directly to this output, while high-power amplifiers and antenna
tuners use specially-designed Datron cables. For specific connections, refer to

the "RF Cabling Accessories" figure on page 2-7.

The external fan cooling kit (RT7000FAN-1) mounts on the back of the
heatsink and is mandatory for light duty cycle HF data applications.

A variety of external accessories are available from Datron for use with the
RT7000. For some of these accessories and their control cabling, refer to the

"Control Cabling Accessories" figure on page 2-8. For more information on

any individual accessory, refer to the manual for that piece of equipment.

There are three accessory connectors on the rear panel, each with different pin
assignments. If multiple accessories are required that share one or more of the
accessory connectors, an external accessory combiner box (RT7000IOX) can
be attached to any of these connectors. Each of the three connectors on the
rear panel is a circular MIL-C with 26 pins. For the location of these
connectors, refer to the "Rear Panel Connections" figure on page 2-3.

Using the 7000ENCR option, the RT7000 allows provision for an embedded
encryption board. External encryption can also be used with the RT7000 and
connected to Accessory 1 or Accessory 2.

Telephone
Couplers

EIA Data
Interface
Standards

Telephone couplers like the RT5810 or RT5850 use either Accessory 1 or
Accessory 2.

The RT7000 interfaces with a variety of data communications equipment
(DCE) or data terminal equipment (DTE) using EIA standards RS232, RS422
or RS485. Accessory 1 is configured to provide the standard I/O port (COM1)
for these interfaces. The RS232 protocol is standard; all others are optional. It
is necessary to order the 7000RS option and to specify the required protocol
so the appropriate interface chip is inserted into the processor.

Remote Control

The RT7000 can be remotely controlled from a standard computer using
Accessory connectors 1 or 2 on the rear panel. A custom software program is
available from Datron that runs on any PC using Windows™. For the
connections to use, refer to the EIA Data Interface Standards on page 2-4.

Remove the front panel of the RT7000 and replace it with a line driver panel
(RT7000E) to control it remotely. This special version of the radio is used to
control operations from distances up to 50 feet.

The RT7000 is controlled remotely from longer distances using the RT7201F
and the RT7201I remote control heads. Both control heads require that you
install modem interface boards (7000RF or 7000RI) inside the RT7000. The
RT7201F uses FSK and is for long-range remote requirements, while the
RT7201I uses ISDN and is for real-time control up to 2 km.

These modem-based remote control units connect to the RT7000 via the
remote connector on the rear panel. This connector is a circular MIL-C 10
with 9 pins.

For a complete description of these pins, refer to the RT7201F FSK Remote

Programming Channels and Frequencies

The RT7000 associates a frequency, mode, clarifier status and offset value (if
on) to each channel number. These can be different for each channel and can
be viewed whenever you enter that channel number. Once frequencies are set
to channels, you can assign those channels to scan groups.

Note: Scan groups are defined by channel number, not by frequency. Chang-

ing the frequency of a channel also changes the frequency of that chan­nel within each scan group.

Acceptable transceiver frequencies range from .100000 MHz to 30.000000
MHz in receive mode and 1.6 MHz to 30.000000 MHz in transmit mode.
Simplex operation uses identical RX and TX frequencies and must be in the
transmit mode range. Enter semi-duplex (split frequency) as an RX frequency
first and then as a TX frequency. If you enter a frequency that is out of range,
an error message is displayed and the previous frequency is restored.

When you enter a frequency, always include the decimal point unless there are
all zeros after the decimal point. You do not need to enter leading or trailing
zeros.

Entering a frequency between .100000 MHz and 1.6 MHz in the simplex
mode causes the transceiver to be receiver-only (PTT inhibited).

The following steps explain how to select the channel and assign a new
frequency:

Scanning (for TA/TC only)

Scan groups are arranged in the RT7000 according to number. You can have
up to 32 different scan groups in the transceiver at one time, each one having a
different scan group number. Each scan group can have up to 64 channels.

Selecting a Scan
Group

Because the RT7000 scans channels not frequencies, you must give all desired
frequencies in a particular scan group a channel number. Channel numbers are
not exclusive to a particular scan group; the same channel can be used in
different scan groups.

CHAPTER 4

SERVICING

Detailed servicing information is beyond the scope of this manual. Only
experienced personnel should make adjustments or attempt any serious service
work. Reference to the RT7000 technical manual (RT7000-MS) is essential.

The RT7000 is of modular construction. If spare boards are available, non­technical personnel are able to repair most faults in the field. It is strongly
recommended that non-technical personnel receive instruction from
experienced technicians in the replacement of boards.

The RT7000 has a BITE system that aids in troubleshooting down to the
individual board level. When a fault occurs, a BITE fault message is displayed
indicating the specific board affected. The BITE runs automatically on power
up or whenever Alpha 20 is selected.

Routine Maintenance

The RT7000 does not normally require periodic maintenance except to check
the calibration of the master oscillator. It is often convenient to program an
unused channel to a known frequency standard such as WWV (radiates
10,000W on 5, 10 and 15 MHz). This enables regular checks of the frequency
calibration.

Keep the exterior of the RT7000 clean by wiping it with a damp cloth and
polishing it with a soft dry cloth. Make sure all knobs are secure and connectors
tight. If you open the RT7000, make sure coaxial cables are tight and the board
connectors firmly in place. Use compressed air to remove any dirt or dust.

Board Access and Replacement

The top and bottom covers are each retained by 24 screws. After removal of the
retaining screws, the covers can be lifted off the RT7000. For board locations,

refer to the "Board Locations" figure on page 4-2.

CAUTION: When the transmitter is operating, high RF voltages are
present on the power amplifier and filter boards. Use caution as
these RF voltages can cause burns.

All boards, with the exception of the power amplifier, filter and front panel, are
plug-in board assemblies easily accessible from the top of the radio.
