SD-170 Series Operation
Channel select / SCAN
Your radio’s channel can be selected by inner DIP-S/W or serial command inputted from external control system. To
change channel by inner DIP-S/W (), you should open the upper cover and then look for the DIP-S/W() on the digital
board of the bottom cover. Once located change the DIP-S/W to select wanted channel according to channel dip switch
chart.
To use a serial command for channel selection, it should be inputted by external equipment or device(ex. Personal
computer) through Pin 8 of DB-15 connector. See the message format for serial command for full details.
If your radio has been programmed the channel scan, you must enter the scan mode by serial command.
Transmit
The transmission will be made by various inputs such as PTT signal (Pin 3 of DB-15 connector), TX serial command and
Serial data input (Pin 10 of DB-15 connector : This input is only available when a modem option board is installed). TTL
level is used as PTT signal and is active low. If you installed an option modem board, you can use RS-232 level as a PTT
signal instead of TTL level. To maintain transmission, continuous PTT signal input is required. If you use Tx serial
command for transmission, normally, it’s released by Rx serial command. Before the transmission, check the color of the
radio’s top-panel LED(). It will glow orange if RF activity is present; it will not be illuminated if the radio indicates a “clear”
channel. When the channel is “clear”, input the PTT signal or Tx serial command and transmit data or audio. Remove the
PTT signal or input Rx serial command when you have finished transmission.
CAUTION : Operation of the transmitter without a proper antenna installed may
result in permanent damage to the radio.
Receive
When you have finished transmission, remove the PTT signal or input Rx serial command. You will receive data from
another radio or hear another person talking from the connected external speaker.

Scan modes
Scanning is a dealer programmable feature that allows you to monitor a number of channels. Your dealer will help you
define a scanning mode and your channel “scan list”
Channel scan
Once the scan list has been established, initiate scan by serial commands. If a conversation is detected on any of the
channels in the scan list, the radio will stop on that channel and you will be able to hear the conversation. At that time, busy
channel data is sent to external equipment or device through serial command. So, you can identify busy channel data as
decoding of received serial command from your radio in the external equipment or device.
Normally, if you try to transmit during scanning, the transmission will be made on the channel that the call was received
during the programmable scan delay time. (The scan delay time is the amount of time the radio will stay on that channel
once activity has ceased. Dealer programming of 4 ~ 7 seconds is typical). The radio will resume scanning once the scan
delay time has expired, and will continue to scan until the serial command for scan stop is inputted by external equipment.
After the scan resumes, if a transmission is made, the radio will transmit on the selected priority channel. This feature is
similar to priority scan TX except for selection of priority channel. You can assign a priority channel by inner dip switch only.
Scan channel delete
To temporarily delete a channel from the scan list, simply input the serial command for scan deletion to the radio while
scanning and stopped on the channel to be deleted. This will temporarily remove that channel from the scan list until the
scan is closed or the radio’s power is reset.
CTCSS / DCS Scanning
To help to block out unwanted calls to your radio, the SD-170 series can be programmed by your dealer to scan for tones.

Modem option for data communication
DESCRIPTION
The ACC-513 and ACC-514 are internal option-modems, which are applied to the SD-170 series to increase capability for
data applications. The goal of an internal modem is to improve the efficiency for data transmission and provide maximum
flexibility for user applications. The most obvious method of increasing the data efficiency is to maximize the data signaling
speed in the limited channel bandwidth. But, FSK, called direct FM modulation, has a very wide transmission bandwidth
requirement. To solve this problem a GMSK(Gaussian Filtered Minimum Shift Keying) internal option-board can be used.
Generally data has a wider bandwidth than audio. So, direct application of data is not matched with an audio system and its
application. For instance, if sub-audio (Tone) SQ system applied to a data application, its frequency conflicts with that of
sub-audio. Moreover, the inputted data is filtered by the audio filter circuit resulting in broken data transmission. To
overcome these problems and provide maximum flexibility, an FFSK(Fast Frequency Shift Keying) internal option-board
can be used.
COMMUNICATION BETWEEN DTE AND OPTION-BOARD
Our internal modem options consist of Slave MCU, Modem IC, and extra circuitry. These option-boards directly
communicate with DTE (Data Terminal Equipment) to send and receive meaningful data through the DB-15 connector on
the digital board of the SD-170. These modems are designed to accept RS232 serial data format and are also capable of
high speed wireless data-transmission between two or more devices. More detailed information for the modem option
boards is given in the technical manual for the ACC-513/514. Your dealer will help you define a TX On/Off delay time, RX
On delay time, Baud Rate, Modem Enabled, Modem Baud Rate, Data flow control, and Test Mode.

Transmission GPS Data through Modem
The SD-170 supports GPS data handling. That may help your implementation for a system related to GPS. If it is not
enough for your application, received position data from the GPS module placed in an SD-170 can be reprocessed by your
own application. The ACC-515 is a GPS module for the SD-170, which releases 11 different output data according to the
NMEA-0183 format, which can be selected by you, the available data should be processed by your application. Received
data from the ACC-515 will be released via the DB-15 connector of the SD-170 and/or transmitted to another system
through an installed modem. More detailed information for the GPS option board is given in the technical manual for the
ACC-515.
