PRECAUTIONS

R WARNING! Turn OFF the repeater before installing the

controller. Otherwise, this could cause a ﬁ re or damage

the repeater.

CAUTION: NEVER expose the repeater or controller to rain, snow or any liquids.

CAUTION: NEVER let metal, wire or other objects touch any parts on the controller.

CAUTION: NEVER install the controller into a non-

speciﬁ ed repeater.

BE CAREFUL! When you install the controller, wear gloves to avoid cutting your hand on the sharp edges of the repeater.

D CF card caution

R WARNING! NEVER insert the CF card into the UC-

FR5300 when the repeater’s power is ON. Otherwise a

ﬁ re, electric shock may occur, or the data on the CF card

may become corrupted.

CAUTION: DO NOT insert the CF card into the UCFR5300 if dust or dirt is on the connector. This may cause the CF card, and the UC-FR5300, to malfunction.

CAUTION: DO NOT directly touch the connector part of the CF card. It may cause a breakdown of the internal circuit by static electricity.

CAUTION: DO NOT turn OFF the repeater while the data is being transferred. Otherwise, the data on the CF card may become corrupted.

CAUTION: DO NOT use the CF card in a controller other than the UC-FR5300. Inserting the CF card into other equipment may corrupt the card’s data.

CAUTION: DO NOT keep the CF card in areas with extremely high temperatures, high humidity, or in direct sunlight.

BE CAREFUL! DO NOT submerge the CF card in water, or get it wet.

BE CAREFUL! DO NOT bend the CF card.

BE CAREFUL! DO NOT drop or strike the CF card

against another object.

INSERTING AND REMOVING THE CF CARD

D Inserting

NOTE: Be sure to insert the CF card with the serial label

(Example: “CF-FR5300SC” label) facing up.

Slowly insert the CF card into the CF card slot of the UC-FR5300.

• If the CF card seems to jam, or is too tight, carefully remove it. Ensure that the card is properly oriented and that there are no obstructions in the sides of the card insertion slots, then reinsert the card.

CONNECTION

NOTE:

• CAT-5 straight cables are required for connection. (User supplied)

• 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 or moisture.

Each controller has a LAN connector and two BUS connectors. 1 [LAN] connector

For an Ethernet connection. Connect the controller to

an Ethernet (LAN) port of a PC. In the Simulcast mode and Trunking mode, 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.

[BUS] connectors (BUS-1, BUS-2) For data communication between the controllers in the Simulcast mode BUS-2 can be used. They enable the controllers to be “daisy-chained” together, and form a network that allows simulcast, trunking and other data to pass among them.

* PPS signal can be shared with other UC-FR5300 through

the [BUS] connectors.

NOTE: BE SURE to connect a LAN cable of 1 m (3.3 feet) or less.

 The illustration below describes one example of a

connection for the Trunking mode.
