• Connecting the at cable
Make sure to insert the flat cable with the metal 
strips facing the edge of the PCB, and not the opposite way.
q Turn the channel module upside down. 
  Insert one end of the flat cable into J8 on the PCB 
of the channel module. Then, carefully pass the flat 
cable through the opening of the channel module’s 
chassis to the top side.
✔For your information
When you have installed a channel extension module (optional 
UR-FR5000/UR-FR6000 series
), an 
additional controller allows you to control each channel module from a PC console in the Conventional/ 
Trunking operation mode.
ABOUT THE CF CARD
 The UC-FR5000 #02/#03 comes with a CF card inserted in the controller’s CF card slot. Please take notice of the following.
CAUTION: NEVER turn OFF the repeater while the 
data is being transferred. Otherwise, the data on the 
CF card may become corrupted. 
CAUTION: Use the CF card only in the UC-FR5000. 
Inserting the CF card into other equipment may corrupt the card’s data.
NOTE: When no CF card is inserted, the controller 
cannot be used for Multi Site Conventional/Trunking 
mode operation.

Connection
CAT-5 straight cables and a Hub (or a router) are 
required for connection (purchase separately).
BE SURE to cover each connected cable with a 
supplied dust protector. Even if the cable has its own 
cover, replace it with the supplied dust protector.
KEEP the supplied connector caps attached when 
the connectors are not in use, to avoid getting bad 
contacts from dust and moisture.
Each controller has a LAN connector and two BUS 
connectors. 
q [LAN] connector  
  For an Ethernet connection. Connect the controller 
to an Ethernet (LAN) port of a PC console through 
a Hub (or a router).
  In trunking mode operation, the controller at one 
end of the chain must be connected. You can control the controller and all others in the chain from 
the PC console.
w [BUS] connectors (BUS-1, BUS-2) 
  For data communication between the controllers in 
trunking mode operation, either BUS-1 or BUS-2 
can be used. They enable the controllers to be “daisy-chained” together, and form a network that allows trunking and other data to pass among them. 
 * The illustration below describes one example of a con-
nection for trunking mode operation.
