18. Wet Location Warning: Apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing and no objects filled
with liquids, such as vases, shall be placed on the apparatus.

1.2 FCC REGULATIONS

Use, installation and service of this equipment as summarized within this Manual will ensure the safe
performance of this equipment and will result in user exposure substantially below FCC recommended
limits for human exposure to Radio Frequency electromagnetic energy.

These devices comply with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two
conditions: (1) the device may not cause harmful interference; and (2) the device must accept any
interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

MM-011709-001

These devices are not required to comply with the FCC RF exposure limits for Uncontrolled Exposure
(General Population) and Occupational Exposure, because it is assumed that neither uncontrolled nor
occupational exposure is applicable in the general installation configuration. The CS-7200 must be
disabled before maintenance to the antenna is attempted.

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) requires the user to obtain a station license for this
radio equipment before operation.

FCC regulations state that the frequency, deviation, and power of the radio transmitter must be
maintained within specific limits. It is recommended, therefore, that these three parameters be checked
prior to placing the station in service.

1.2.1 Antennas

The CS-7200 and antenna must be professionally installed by an experienced antenna installation
professional. During the installation of directional antennas, the installer must not point the main beam of
the antenna at locations occupied by persons within the distance of maximum permissible exposure limits
specified in Part 2 of the FCC regulations. Failure to follow these instructions will void the product
warranty and may expose the end user and others to excessive Radio Frequency hazard. All antennas are
intended to be installed outdoors and at distances from personnel well beyond the minimum allowable
distance.

2 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

2.1 CS-7200 CONTROL STATION

The CS-7200 Control Station is a component of the OpenSky® network, an integrated voice and data
communications system that delivers end-to-end digital transmissions over a single wireless network to
various subscriber units.

The CS-7200 is used typically for dispatch purposes and operates over both the Specialized Mobile Radio
(SMR) and National Public Safety Planning Advisory Committee (NPSPAC) frequency bands. These
bands provide a total of over 830 possible channels spread over the 806-824 MHz transmission and 851­869 MHz reception bands. The CS-7200 operates half-duplex voice, full duplex data, with a 15 W
(typical) transmit output power.

The CS-7200 uses Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) technology to allow multiple users to share a
single RF channel. In addition, a single 20 kHz RF channel can support simultaneous digital voice and
data communications. The radio supports the OpenSky Trunked Protocol (OTP).

The CS-7200 provides voice and data services in a dispatch operation. Voice operation is provided using
the SP-103 Deskset or third-party Tone Remote Desk Sets via the TRCM-103. For data transfers, the CS­7200 and the SP-103 are equipped with an industry standard TIA/EIA-232 interface serial port for
connecting optional equipment such as a laptop PC or third-party display or key-entry device. OpenSky
works seamlessly with equipment from popular manufacturers and off-the-shelf applications through a
standard UDP/IP Protocol, providing simple “plug and play” connectivity.

The CS-7200 is a “soft” radio. Its functions are determined by whatever release of OpenSky software
applications are installed. Refer to Figure 2-1 for a picture of the CS-7200.

2.2 MODES OF OPERATION

2.2.1 VOICE OPERATION

The voice path operates like a traditional dispatch radio, with a microphone to transmit (push-to-talk) and
a speaker to receive. In OpenSky Trunked Protocol (OTP), there is no separate voice and data path – all
transmitted information is digital.

Figure 2-1: CS-7200

8

2.2.2 DATA OPERATION

Data operation requires the connection of a laptop PC. OpenSky works through standard IP protocols
such as UDP/IP. The data path operates similarly to the voice path, with a few differences. All external
data information in and out of the radio uses the TIA/EIA-232 serial port connection.

2.2.3 INTERCOM OPERATION

The intercom option, a licensed option, allows the CS-7200 radio to pass audio locally between multiple
SP-103 units, not over the network. It gives users at multiple SP-103 units, connected to the same CS­7200, the ability to communicate with each other without transmitting over-the-air. When activated,
incoming network radio calls are still scanned and broadcast at each SP-103 units.

2.3 SP-103 DESKSET

The SP-103 Deskset is part of the OpenSky suite of radio products delivering high capacity, end-to-end,
digital communication and providing remote access for voice, data, and control of the CS-7200 Control
Station.

The SP-103 supports voice access via PTT microphones or headset microphones/speaker devices. The
SP-103 also provides an interface for a footswitch PTT in order to support microphones/headsets that do
not contain integral PTT switches. The SP-103 has an integral 3x4 DTMF keypad for log-on and selective
calling. The SP-103 contains an integral 10-Watt speaker and provides the interface to connect to an
external 10-Watt speaker. The serial port can be used for data operation. Refer to Figure 2-2 for a picture
of the SP-103.

MM-011709-001

Figure 2-2: SP-103 Deskset

Refer to Installation Manual MM-011712-001 when configuring the SP-103.

MM-011709-001

2.4 TRCM-103 TONE REMOTE CONTROL MODULE

The TRCM-103 operates within the OpenSky network as part of a Dispatch Center in conjunction with a
third-party Tone Remote Desk Set and CS-7200 Control Station. It provides remote voice and control
communication paths to the CS-7200. The TRCM-103 is a depot or field installed option that mounts on
the back of the CS-7200. The TRCM-103 automatically detects one of five alert tones and sixteen
function tones with a 26 dB dynamic range. The TRCM-103 audio interface utilizes a standard RJ-11 port
and is configurable for 2-wire half-duplex or 4-wire full-duplex operation. The TRCM-103 audio
termination is selectable for either 600 or 6k ohms. These features allow for easy integration with existing
Tone Remote Desk Sets. Please see the installation manual for details on configuring the device.

2.5 PERSONALITY

As illustrated in Figure 2-3, a personality defines the profiles and talk groups available to the user. It is
the structuring of a collection of profiles and privileges established by the OpenSky network administrator
to provide the user with a comprehensive set of profiles to communicate effectively with the necessary
talk groups or individuals.

Personalities are stored on the network and downloaded over-the-air to the CS-7200. This process is
called “provisioning.” Provisioning occurs at power-up and at user log-in. Each personality can contain
up to sixteen (16) profiles and each profile can contain up to sixteen talk groups.

2.5.1 Profiles

As stated above, each profile can contain up to sixteen (16) talk groups. A profile also defines emergency
behavior. All transmissions are made on the selected talk group (displayed on the top line of the dwell
display). The user can change the selected talk group to any of the other talk groups within the profile.

2.5.2 Talk Groups

A talk group represents a set of users that regularly need to communicate with one another. There can be
any number of authorized users assigned to a talk group. Talk groups are established and organized by the
OpenSky network administrator. An OpenSky talk group is similar to a channel within a conventional FM
radio system.
