ICP9000 Navigator Installation and Service Manual Foreword
Safe Handling of CMOS Integrated Circuit Devic es
Many of the integrated circuit devices used in communications equipment are of the Complementary
Metal Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) type. Because of their high open circuit impedance, CMOS
integrated circuits are vulnerable to damage from static charges. Care must be taken handling, shipping,
and servicing them and the assemblies in which they are used.
Even though protection devices are provided in CMOS integrated circuit inputs, the protection is effective
only against over-voltage in the hundreds of volts range such as is encountered in an operating system. In
a system, circuit elements distribute static charges and load the CMOS circuits, decreasing the chance of
damage. However, CMOS circuits can be damaged by improper handling of the modules, even in a
system.
To avoid damage to circuits, observe the following handling, shipping, and servicing precautions:
1. Prior to and while servicing a circuit module, particularly after moving within the service area,
momentarily touch both hands to a bare metal, earth-grounded surface. This will discharge any static
charge that may have accumulated on the person doing the servicing.
OTE: Wearing a conductive wrist strap will minimize static build-up during servicing.
N
2. Whenever possible, avoid touching any electrically conductive parts of the circuit module with your
hands.
3. Power down the unit before installing or removing the circuit module.
4. When servicing a circuit module, avoid carpeted areas, dry environments, and certain types of
clothing (silk, nylon, etc.) because they contribute to static build-up. Similarly, disconnect the test
probe prior to removing the ground lead.
5. All electrically powered test equipment should be grounded. Apply the ground lead from the test
equipment to the circuit module before connecting the test probe.
6. If a circuit module is removed from the system, it is desirable to lay it on a conductive surface (such
as a sheet of aluminum foil) that is connected to ground through 100k of resistance.
7. When soldering, be sure the soldering iron is grounded, and has a grounded tip.
8. Prior to connecting jumpers, replacing circuit components, or touching CMOS pins (if this becomes
necessary in the replacement of an integrated circuit device), be sure to discharge any static build-up
as described in procedure 1. Since voltage differences can exist across the human body, it is
recommended that only one hand be used if it is necessary to touch pins on the CMOS device and
associated board wiring.
9. When replacing a CMOS integrated circuit device, leave the device in its conductive rail container or
conductive foam until it is to be inserted into the printed circuit module.
10. All low impedance test equipment (such as pulse generators, etc.) should be connected to CMOS
device inputs after power is applied to the CMOS circuitry. Similarly, such low impedance
equipment should be disconnected before power is turned off.
11. Replacement modules shipped separately from the factory will be packaged in a conductive material.
Any modules being transported from one area to another should be wrapped in a similar material
(aluminum foil may be used). Never use non-conductive material for packaging these modules.

Description
The ICP9000 Navigator Series Master Control Unit (MCU) is a multi-channel console designed to
operate with conventional radio systems and a PC. Its graphical user interface (GUI) supports touchscreen, mouse or wand operation. It uses tone remote control to interact with the base stations, but dc
remote control and E&M control are available as options. The ICP9000 Navigator allows control of up to
12 individual base stations.
Operating parameters are programmed using GAI-Tronics’ CARD (Configuration Application for Radio
Dispatch) Suite Software application, Model XAC1000A.
Tone Remote Control
Tone control is a particular scheme of remote radio control. This scheme uses tones of different
frequencies and levels to command the radio to perform various tasks. Control tones are categorized as
high level guard tone, function tone, or low level guard tone. These tones are generated by the console
and routed to the base stations via wire line connections (leased or owned dry lines).
High level guard tone precedes all control tone sequences and notifies the selected base station of a
change in its operating mode. High level guard tone is normally active for 120 ms, but the duration is
programmable from 120 to 4000 ms in 10 ms increments. Refer to Figure 1.
Following the high level guard tone is function tone. Function tone is normally active for 40 ms, but the
duration is programmable between 40 and 4000 ms in 10 ms increments. It forces the radio to perform a
task specified by the tone’s frequency. Low level guard tone follows function tone and remains active as
long as the base station is transmitting. Low level guard tone is present only when the tone control
sequence is a command that causes the radio to transm it.

DC Remote Control
DC control is a method of remote radio control. This scheme uses dc currents of differing magnitudes
and polarities to command the radio to perform various tasks. The dc control currents are directly
impressed upon the audio wire line connections between the console and base stations.
E&M Remote Control
E&M remote control is another scheme of remote radio control. This scheme uses two pair of leads to
control communication between the console and base station. The console uses the “M” leads to signal
the base station when to transmit, and uses the “E” leads to detect when to receive.

Installation
The ICP9000 Navigator Series computer (purchased separately) can be placed on any flat level surface
that provides the operator with a comfortable working position with full visibility of the computer desktop
screen controls and indicators. The MCU can be placed up to 50 feet away in a convenient location,
using the RS-232 connection. For greater distances, use the RS-485 connection.
FCC Interference Warnings
The FCC requires that manuals pertaining to Class A and Class B computing devices contain warnings
about possible interference with local and resi den tia l radio and TV reception. Please read these warnings
and all safety information in the Foreword section of this manual.
Equipment Required
Test Equipment & Tools
• RF service monitor
• AC voltmeter with dB ranges for measuring
audio levels
• #1 & #2 Phillips screwdrivers
• 1/8-inch flat blade screwdriver
Documentation
• base station’s tone remote adapter manual
• these installation instructions
Mounting Considerations
The ICP9000 Navigator MCU has three possible
mounting configurations. A desktop or any
suitable flat surface can be used when the
included adhesive-back ed rubber feet are applied
to the MCU. The feet are located in the accessory
box inside an envelope.
Rack mounting is also possible with the included
hardware. The MCU measures 11.125 inches
deep by 8.75 inches tall using 5U spacing in a
conventional 19-inch rack.
The unit is also wall-mountable by installing the

Cable Installation Safety Consideration s
Interconnecting, communications, and Class 2 dc power cables should be separated from electrical light
or other Class I circuits by at least 2 inches. The exception is where Class I wiring or power circuits are
run in a raceway, or are metal-sheathed or metal-clad, or are permanently separated from the conductors
of the other circuitry by a continuous and firmly fixed nonconductor such as porcelain tubes or flexible
tubing in addition to the insulation on the wire. Comm unica tions cab les and in-building wiring should be
listed and marked for the purpose according to NEC Article 800.
Telephone Line Lightning and Over-voltage Protec tion
The ICP9000 Navigator has an over-current phone line fuse that protects against occasional extreme fault
conditions that may get past the primary protectors. An example of such a fault condition is a power line
cross. For maximum surge and lightning protection, building primary (over-voltage) protectors should be
installed at the point where the telephone lines enter the radio equipment building. Primary protectors are
usually required by local codes and should be provided by your leased line provider.
Line Connections
Line Considerations - Privat e Circuit
If leased lines from your local telephone company are used between the console and a tone remote
adapter or base station, the telephone company (Local Exchange Carrier) may request a Facility Interface
Code (FIC). The FIC is subject to local availability. See Table 1.
Table 1. Analog Facility Interface Code
FIC Description
02NO2 2-wire private line; no signaling conversion by LEC (IN-Band)
02NO4 4-wire private line; no signaling conversion by LEC (IN-Band)
Metallic 2 or 4-wire metallic private line (“Hoot and Holler” circuits)
Within a manufacturing plant, a campus, or large building, customer-supplied metallic pairs may be used.
While using tone control, it is not necessary to have dc continuity on these lines. Continuity is required
for dc control.
Circuit Condi tioning
The console is designed to work with good-quality analog speech band or leased private circuit. This was
previously known as ‘basic’ conditioning under Series 2000/3002 service. The line must be non-PSTN
(no dial tone, talk-battery, or signaling). This equipment falls under the Category II, FCC Tariff #260
Service and is exempt from FCC Part 68 registration. (Ref. FCC Form 730 Application Guide pages 1–
5.)
For 2-wire operation, 2000 Series lines may be used with or without conditioning. C1 or C2 conditioning
is available for these lines and relates to the envelope delay distortion and attenuation. A basic
conditioned line may be used if it is the only type available. Overall system quality is limited by the
quality of these lines.

Line Level Settings
The ICP9000 Navigator Console allows the installer to adjust level settings through the on-screen
diagnostics. These procedures assume that the base stations have been properly adjusted.
Line Input (Receive Audio) Level Adjustment
The line input level adjustment allows the receive audio of each channel to be compensated for line loses
between the base station and console, ensuring the optimum audio performance of the console. It is
important to set this level properly as maladjustment can cause distortion or over-compression of the
receive audio.
1. Adjust the base station receive audio level to the console by applying an RF signal modulated with a
1000 Hz tone at rated system deviation to the base station receiver.
2. Adjust the base station output control for the desired level (e.g. –10 dBm) to the audio control line.
Do not exceed the line supplier’s recommended maximum operating level.
Navigator MCU Adjustment
1. Connect an ac voltmeter, or other appropriate measuring device, across the receive audio pair of the
console MCU according to Table 8. Make a note of the measurement.
2. Enter the Navigator Diagnostics. Select

changed in 3 dB increments. Select the setting that is closest to, but not higher than, the measured
level. For example, if the measured level is –11 dB, the console should be set at a –12 dB input
sensitivity setting.
4. Repeat this process for each channel.
5. Press the
MODE button when the setting is complete. When prompted, press 1 to save, or 2 to
abandon changes.
Line Output (Transmit) Level Adjustment
The output of each channel can be adjusted to accommodate for line losses from the console to the base
station. Adjustment of the line out should be similar to that of the line input adjustment where the audio
level at the base station is measured while the output level of the console is adjusted to achieve the
optimum audio level at the base station.
1. Connect an ac voltmeter, or other appropriate measuring device, across the transmit audio pair at the
base station. Refer to Table 8 for the correct test connections.
2. Enter the Navigator Diagnostics. Select

NOTE: If operating in dc mode, the console must also be programmed for dc under Type of Interface in
the CARD Suite Software.
Two Wire Control (default)
In this configuration, a single two-wire line is used to carry the control tones or dc control currents (as
applicable per channel) and the transmitter audio, from the ICP9000 Navigator to the base station. This
same 2-wire line is used to return the receive audio back to the console from the base station. Refer to
Table 3 for the appropriate system configuration.
Four Wire Audio/Control
In this configuration, one pair of lines is used to carry both control tones or dc control currents (as
applicable per channel) and the transmitter audio from the ICP9000 Navigator to the base station. The
other pair is used to carry the receive audio from the base station back to the console. Refer to Table 3 for
the appropriate system configuration.

Power Supply (3308-00124-00)
The ICP9000 Navigator MCU requires an external power supply provided with the unit. This is a selfcontained unit that can be located at some convenient spot near the MCU. It requires an input of 90–264
V ac 50-60 Hz and delivers a regulated output of 12 V dc at 4.2 amps maximum.
Battery Revert Power Supply (XCP0080A)
The relay and associated devices for battery revert are incorporated on the main printed circuit board.
This option includes a modified power supply.
Ground Cable
The ICP9000 Navigator MCU is designed with a high degree of protection against electro-static discharge
(ESD), power line surges and telephone line surges. The protection circuitry is designed to shunt the
transient current to earth ground through the GND terminal, located on the back panel of the console.
This terminal must be connected to a high quality earth ground in order to obtain maximum protection.
N
OTE: This ground should be connected through a utility entrance ground cable and the telephone
entrance ground cable, if different from the utility ground. Lightning is essentially RF, and as such does
not like long leads or sharp bends. Make connections appropriately.
External Accessories Connector
The rear panel connector labeled EXTERNAL ACCESSORIES, an 8-pin modular connector, provides for
a desk microphone connection. It can also be used as a convenient connection to the Audio Accessory
Box if only a short cable length is required. The pinout is mirrored with respect to J1 on the Audio
Accessory Box so the modular cable provided with the Audio Accessory Box will provide the proper
connection. See the pinout in Table 5 below.
