• 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.
