MTR3000 Overview

The Motorola MTR3000 Base Station/Repeater provides a modular, flexible analog and digital station design for today's communication systems and for the future. The station is available for use in Analog Conventional, Digital Conventional (MOTOTRBO), MOTOTRBO Capacity Plus Trunking and Connect Plus (UHF Only) multi site trunking configurations.
When configured for analog operation, MTR3000 can either be configured as a base station or as a repeater. As a repeater, it listens on one uplink frequency, and then re-transmits on a downlink frequency, thus providing the RF interface to the field subscribers. When configured as a base station, MTR3000 is designed to operate with most existing analog systems.
When configured for digital operation, the base station/repeater offers additional services. The digital base station/repeater operates in TDMA mode, which essentially divides one channel into two virtual channels using time slots; therefore the user capacity is doubled. The base station/repeater utilizes embedded signaling to inform the field radios of the busy/idle status of each channel (time slot), the type of traffic, and even the source and destination information.
10
Page 12
Note: When configured in Digital Mode, MTR3000 can only be used as a repeater.
At any given time, MTR3000 either operates as a digital repeater or as an analog repeater.
The MTR3000 base station/repeater is divided into functional modules that separate the frequency band specific and transmitter power specific circuits from other circuits and has separate modules for the control interface. These modules are self contained functional blocks with module-specific alarms. This design facilitates the field replaceable unit (FRU) concept of field repair to maximize system uptime. The description of the FRUs is as follows:
The Receiver FRU is a dual heterodyne receiver which receives the RF signal from
the subscriber’s transmitter. It then converts the resulting final intermediate frequency (IF) from an analog signal to that of a digital word. Finally, the receiver delivers the digital word, via the data bus, to the SCM for demodulation. Additionally, the receiver also provides its own metering and diagnostics via software, as well as a self-contained calibration (no field tuning needed).
The Exciter FRU converts a two-port base band data signal, sent over the data bus
from the SCM, to an analog signal representation. The analog signal then modulates a low power RF transmitter carrier that is generated by the exciter. The low power modulated RF carrier is then amplified and delivered to the PA for further amplification. The Exciter and PA constitute the transmitter of the MTR3000. Additionally, the exciter also provides its own metering and diagnostics via software, as well as a self-contained calibration (no field tuning needed).
The heart of the SCM FRU is that of two Texas Instruments OMAP series
processors, with each OMAP containing an ARM Host and a C55 DSP processor. One of the two OMAP processors is dedicated to the receiver DSP operations, while the other OMAP provides for all other functionality, which includes the transmitter functions. In general the SCM provides for the entire coordination of the base station/repeater functions, but more specifically, the SCM provides for the following functionality:
Contains and runs the preloaded base station/repeater software. Manages inbound and outbound RF and Audio traffic. Provides external speaker and microphone ports (analog only) Provides an on-board USB port for local configuring, alignment and
diagnostics via the following applications:
o Customer Programming Software (CPS), o Tuner application o Repeater Diagnostic and Control (RDAC) software.
Provides an Ethernet port for IP site connectivity and remote RDAC. Provides GPIO connectivity for 3
rd
party controller interfaces.
Provides analog base station audio connectivity. Data and Control to the receiver Data and Control to the exciter Control of the PA’s set power
11
Page 13
Generates the internal station frequency reference. Provides control of the front panel status indicators.
The PA FRU amplifies the low level modulated RF signal from the exciter module.
It then delivers the amplified signal to the transmitter antenna port at the rated power of the base station/repeater, or less if the customer desires, for transmission to the subscriber’s receiver. In addition to its primary task of amplification, the PA provides the following hardware functions for the base station/repeater’s:
Harmonic attenuation Intermodulation attenuation (IMA) suppression VSWR detection RF power control (primary means). Self contained cooling fan and control circuit Diagnostics Power rollback for temperature, VSWR, and voltage Self-Contained calibration (No field alignment for MTR3000 PAs only)
The PS FRU provides DC power to the receiver, exciter, SCM, PA, and select third
party controllers via one or more of the three DC output taps; 28.6VDC, 14.2VDC, and 5.1VDC. It can also provide auxiliary power to a number of third party controllers. Additionally, it can operate in three different input modes:
AC Input Only DC Input Only AC with Battery Revert
In addition to providing power to the noted FRU’s and controllers, the PS also provides for the following:
AC Failure detect signaling to the SCM Output over-current protection for all three outputs Self contained cooling fan and control circuit Thermal shut down if the environmental temperatures exceed the cooling
capacity afforded by the fan.
Further details can be found in the individual “Theory of Operation” sections
of the respective FRUs.
The Wireline FRU provides the connection to an analog audio source/sink (such as
a console) to the MTR3000 Base Station/Repeater. Specifically, the Wireline board provides for the following:
Tone Remote Control DC Remote Control 4-wire balanced audio connection 2-wire balanced audio connection

MTR2000 MOTOTRBO UPGRADE (Non-RTTE countries only)

Overview

The FRU architecture of the MTR30000 Base Station/Repeater allows the ability to upgrade an existing MTR2000. An upgrade requires that the MTR3000 station core module (exciter, receiver and station control module) be used to replace the MTR2000 exciter, receiver and control module. The upgrade allows a customer to move from an analog platform to a digital platform and increase their call capacity with the MOTOTRBO technology.

MTR2000 MOTOTRBO Upgrade Specs

When the MTR2000 is upgraded to an MTR3000, the specifications of the new components (exciter, receiver and station control module) are the specs of the MTR3000 modules. (See component specification tables.)
NOTE: The transmitter dynamic RF output power range will remain the same as it was
prior to the upgrade.

MTR2000 MOTOTRBO Upgrade Installation

Upgrading an MTR2000 is a simple procedure. Depending on the proficiency of the technician the hardware upgrade takes approx 15 minutes to complete per Base Station/Repeater. Additional time will be required to program the station with the Customer Programming Software (CPS) to the customer specific configuration. Before beginning the upgrade, document the current code plug settings of the MTR2000, as they will need to be manually entered into the MTR3000 CPS.
Note: The codeplug file format of the MTR2000 is not compatible with the codeplug file
format of the MTR3000, so manual entry of the codeplug configurations will be required.

Compatibility

The following charts identify the system types, stations, and controllers that are compatible with the MTR3000. Table 5 and Table 6 outline a direct feature comparison between the MTR3000 and the MTR2000. It is imperative that the differences between the two stations are understood when an MTR3000 is to be purchased for use in an analog system, as not all analog features that were offered with the MTR2000 are available with the MTR3000. Furthermore, the base station audio and control interface on the backplane has changed between the MTR3000 and MTR2000 stations. These interface differences are noted in the “Adding MTR3000 and/or Upgraded MTR2000 stations to MTR2000 sites” section of this manual.
Additionally, the MTR3000 platform offers a MTR2000 MOTOTRBO UPGRADE for existing high-power UHF MTR2000 stations. When a MTR2000 station has employed the MOTOTRBO Upgrade Digital Kit, the upgraded MTR2000 station will provide all digital functionality that a factory new MTR3000 provides. Analog features offered in an upgraded MTR2000 station are identical to that of a factory new MTR3000, however, there are subtle differences in the analog connectivity at the J7 backplane connection between an upgraded MTR2000 station and that of a factory new MTR30000 station. These differences are noted in the “Adding MTR3000 and/or Upgraded MTR2000 stations to MTR2000 sites” section of this manual.
Note: Since analog features will be lost with respect to the non-upgraded MTR2000, it is not
recommended to purchase a “MOTOTRBO Digital Upgrade Kit” for the MTR2000 if one expects to operate the upgraded MTR2000 in analog mode. Upgrading the station and operating in analog mode may be a temporary configuration while migrating the subscribers. See Table 7 for specific configurations that are upgradeable.
The MOTOTRBO Upgrade Kit consists of the following individual items:
MTR3000 Exciter FRU
MTR3000 Receiver FRU

Note: An Upgraded MTR2000 can be used in analog mode. However, since some analog
functionality would be lost in this transition, this application would be best applied to a customer who intends to migrate to MOTOTRBO at some time in the future.

SPECIFICATIONS

Specification Definitions

Listed alphabetically are the definitions of some of the specifications described above. Information on whether the preferred specification would be smaller or larger is also given.
1) Adjacent Channel Power Ratio (Decibels/ dB): A measure of the level of undesired
transmit signal that falls within the adjacent frequency channel. Often this is limited by the modulation type rather than hardware or software. A larger number is better.
2) Adjacent Channel Rejection {Selectivity} (Decibels/ dB)–Ability of the receiver to
detect the desired signal, while rejecting signals on adjacent channels. The benefit is less interference. The preferred specification is larger. Effective system performance may be limited by the interfering subscriber units’ transmitter noise or modulation characteristics
3) Bandwidth: As it applies to T-T or R-R (Megahertz/ MHz)–The maximum
frequency separation from the lowest frequency to the highest frequency without degradation of specifications. The preferred specification for multi-channel base stations/repeaters should be wide enough to include all the channels that are used, depending upon the application.
4) Bandwidth: As it applies to T-R Spacing (Megahertz/ MHz)–The specified
frequency separation between the transmitter and receiver is band dependent. The preferred specification is generally smaller, although it depends upon the specific site requirements.
5) Bit Error Rate Floor (%): A measure of the receiver’s ability to detect and decode
strong signals accurately. A small percentage is better.
6) Conducted Spurious Emissions (dBm): Undesired receiver output signals (on the
antenna port). The benefit is reduced interference with other base stations/repeaters nearby. The preferred specification is a more negative number.
7) Co-Channel Rejection (Decibels/ dB): Ability of the receiver to reject on channel
interference. This specification is usually determined by the modulation type. A smaller number is better.
8) Electronic Bandwidth: Operating range that can be obtained without any mechanical
adjustments, such as tuning screws. Larger number is better. Full bandwidth is best.
9) Emissions Designator: An FCC designator describing bandwidth and modulation
type.
10) Frequency Stability (+/-% OR parts per million/ppm OR parts per billion/ppb): The
ability to stay on the assigned frequency over a temperature range of -30° to +60°C. The benefit is increased coverage, less interference and reduced background noise. The preferred specification is smaller, which implies a greater stability.
11) Harmonic Emissions Attenuation (Decibels/dB): Similar to spurious outputs
(described below); multiples of the frequency of the final power amplifier (transmitter). The benefit is reduced interference to nearby base stations/repeaters. The preferred specification is a larger number.
12) Intermodulation Attenuation (Decibels/ dB): Reduces transmitter intermodulation by
preventing undesired signals from entering into the transmitter's PA. This is
26
Page 28
accomplished by using circulators or isolators. The preferred specification is larger. This specification is especially important at dense sites.
13) FSK Error (%): A measure of the transmitter’s ability to accurately produce a
digitally modulated signal. A smaller percentage is better.
14) Receiver Intermodulation/IMR (Decibels/ dB)–Mixing of undesired signals which
interferes with the desired signal. This is important if the R-R bandwidth is large. The benefit is less interference. The preferred specification is larger.
15) Sensitivity (Microvolts/µV or dBm)–The ability of the receiver to detect and
amplify weak signals. The benefit is increased coverage. 12 decibels SINAD is the threshold for intelligible analog voice communications. The preferred specification is smaller. 5% bit error rate is the threshold for intelligible digital voice communication.
16) Signal Displacement Bandwidth (Off-Channel Acceptance) (kHz)–The amount the
signal can be off the tuned frequency and still be received. The preferred specification is larger and must be at least as good as the frequency stability of the transmitting subscriber units.
17) Spurious Emissions (Decibels/ dB)–Undesired transmitter output signals. The
benefit is reduced interference with other base stations/repeaters nearby. The preferred specification is a larger number.
18) Spurious (Image) Response (Decibels/ dB)–Ability of the receiver to reject certain
types of undesired or interfering signals related to the operating frequency. The preferred specification is larger.
For analog FM, TIA603D standards and methods are used unless otherwise noted for analog specs. Specifications regarding digital modulation use TIA102 methods.

Power and Energy Consumption Curves

The power consumption and current draw curves displayed on the following pages reflect typical performance. The power consumption and current draws are in reference to the RF output power at the power amplifier’s output connector
Note, the DC power consumption and current draw curves only go down to a radio input potential of
25.7VDC for UHF and 24.7V for 800/900MHz as that is the lowest potential at which the radio is specified to deliver the rated transmitter output power of 100W. The “Power Source” section of this document outlines further considerations when the MTR3000 is operating under DC power.

X265 Base Station/Repeater Preselector (UHF)

The Base Station/Repeater Preselector provides additional rejection of unwanted signals including the transmitter signals from overloading the receiver. The filter is optional for the MTR3000 Base Station/Repeater. The base station/repeater preselector is not required when using a receiver multicoupler system since the preselector in the multicoupler should provide sufficient rejection. This filter can be retuned in the field.

X676 External Dual Circulator

The external dual circulator option provides 2 additional circulators and a low pass filter in a 2 RU tray. This option provides additional transmitter intermodulation attenuation. It is useful at sites with other transmitters when the MTR3000 Base Station/Repeater connects directly to a transmit antenna or duplexer. This option is not needed when a cavity combiner with built in circulator (isolator) is used on the output of the MTR3000 Base Station/Repeater. The assembly includes an input cable which connects directly to the output of the MTR3000 Base Station/Repeater. The output is a panel mount N connector. No field tuning or alignment is possible or required.
Note: The circulator load temperature monitor function will not be available in the initial
release of the MTR3000.

Minimum Antenna Isolation

For frequencies 403MHz to 470MHz without a RFDS, a minimum of 65dB isolation must be present between the receiver and transmitter antenna (including 2dB loss for each feed line). For 10dB gain antennas, this corresponds to a minimum vertical separation of 26ft tip to bottom with both antennas upright.
For frequencies 470MHz to 524MHz without RFDS, a minimum of 65dB isolation must be present between the receiver and transmitter antenna (including 2dB loss for each feed line). For 10dB gain antennas, this corresponds to a minimum vertical separation of 22ft tip to bottom with both antennas upright.
For the 800MHz band without a RFDS, a minimum of 69dB isolation must be present between the receiver and transmitter antenna (including 2dB loss for each feed line). For 10dB gain antennas, this corresponds to a minimum vertical separation of 13ft tip to bottom with both antennas upright.
Note: It is not recommended to rely on horizontal transmitter and receiver antenna separation
for the needed isolation as the distances required are impractical.
For frequencies in the UHF, 800, and 900 bands with a RFDS, use Table 15 and Figure 10 and the characteristics of any RFDS (duplexers, etc) to determine the minimum antenna isolation.

MODULES

Power Supply Module

The MTR3000 Power Supply Module accepts an AC or a DC input and generates three output DC voltages to power the station modules. All three outputs provide over-voltage / over-current protection to their loads.
The power supply is a high-frequency switched mode design with power factor correction, all contained in a metal heat-sink and mounted on the left-hand side of the station.
The AC input connection is made at the rear of the station via an IEC-type connector keyed to accept only high temperature type mating connectors. Also provided is a DC input connection which can be used as the primary means to power the station or used for battery revert operation should the AC mains fail.
Power supply cooling is provided by a thermostatically controlled external fan (a field replaceable part itself) which provides forced air across the power supply heat sink fins.

Power Supply Connections

There are two electrical connection assemblies on the PS:
Power supply connection and AC fail indication to backplane (rear cable harness)
Power supply connection to power amplifier (rear cable harness)
60
Page 62

PS Containment

The PS is secured to the station chassis with 6 TORX screws (T20 bit size required).

Power Amplifier Module

Figure 17. MTR3000 Power Amplifier Module
The Power Amplifier (PA) is a forced convection-cooled continuous wave RF power amplifier. It accepts a low-level modulated RF signal from the Exciter Module, and amplifies the signal to the end users selected transmitter output power.
The PA is designed for continuous-duty operation across the specified band for all power levels. All PA modules contain a multi-stage power amplifier board at the input (RF Board), a circulator with isolation load termination, a low-pass filter, and directional couplers at the output (Output Board), and a DC Distribution Board incorporating circuitry for diagnostics and RF power control.
The PA provides alarms for VSWR, Low Output Power, High Temperature, Low/High DC voltage and Cooling Fan failures (cooling fan is field replaceable). In the event of these alarms, with their severity weighed, the PA in conjunction with the station firmware will take measures such as rolling the power back or de-keying the station to protect the hardware from damage or improper operation.
The PA and its sub-circuits are broad-band devices and require no manual tuning or alignment to operate at the site as their calibration parameters are stored in the PA’s EEPROM. As such, in the event the PA requires replacement, no calibration is needed after its replacement.
Note: If the station is upgraded from MTR2000, refer to MTR2000 Basic Service Manual
(included with the original MTR2000 station) for all PA information.

Page 65

Power Amplifier Connections

There are three electrical connection assemblies on the PA:
Power supply (rear cable harness)
Communications connector (rear ribbon cable).
RF input connector (BNC female)
RF output connector (N-Type female).

PA Containment

The PA is secured to the station chassis with 6 TORX screws (T20 bit size required).

Receiver Module

Figure 18. Receiver Module
The receiver provides the hardware portion of the receiver functionality for the station. The receiver module performs selective band-pass filtering (varactor tuned) and dual down­conversion of the desired RF signal. An application specific receiver IC then performs an analog-to-digital conversion of the desired received signal and outputs a differential data signal to the Station Control Module (SCM).
The receiver has the capability through CPS (Customer Programming Software) to be programmed for an analog or digital mode. For analog mode, the receiver is programmed for
12.5 kHz and 25 kHz bandwidths, on a per channel basis. This allows a single station to be programmed to function in various bandwidths without changing hardware
For UHF stations without the external preselector option, it is not recommended to allow a co­located transmitter frequency which is 36.675MHz above the receiver frequency.

Receiver Connections

There are two electrical connection assemblies on the receiver:

Exciter Module

Figure 19. Exciter Module
The Exciter Module (in conjunction with the Power Amplifier Module) provides the transmitter functions for the station. Contained within a metal clamshell housing, the Exciter board generates a low-level modulated Radio Frequency (RF) signal that is delivered to the power amplifier module for further amplification and output to the transmit antenna. The Exciter Module interfaces directly with the Station Control Module (SCM), which provides control signals and monitoring, and routes transmit digitized audio to the Exciter.
The RF carrier is generated by a frequency synthesizer consisting of synthesizer circuitry and Voltage-Controlled Oscillator (VCO) circuitry. Exciter module control signals, monitoring, and audio processing are handled by the Station Control Module (SCM).

Station Control Module

Figure 20. Station Control Module
The Station Control Module (SCM) performs station management, digital signal processing, data formatting and audio routing for the base station/repeater. It provides interfaces to the Exciter, Receiver and PA as well as the interfaces to external site equipment. The controller uses two TI OMAP series processors: One for transmit and overall base station/repeater control functions and one for all receive functions.
The audio interface provides flat and pre-emphasized transmit audio inputs as well as an independent data/PL/DPL input. Transmit and receive audio signals are accessible on the rear DB25 connector. A front panel microphone and speaker provide local audio (analog mode only).
The 10/100BaseT Ethernet port is used to connect to station to a local or wide area network for IP Site Connect and remote diagnostics & control. The front cover must be removed to access this connector. Alternatively, a short extension cable can be used to route this connection to the rear of the station.
A front accessible USB port provides the interface to the local service computer for radio configuration.
The SCM provides the station frequency reference to the Exciter and Receiver module. A TCXO (Temperature Compensated Crystal Oscillator) provides the stability required for UHF and VHF bands and an OCXO (Oven Controlled Crystal Oscillator) provides the stability required for 800/900MHz bands. An external frequency reference can be connected to a BNC connector behind the front panel to calibrate the onboard TCXO/OCXO. The front cover must be removed to access this connector.
If an external reference is to be used with the MTR3000, a short extension cable can be used to route this connection to the rear of the station. Alternately, the reference cable (and/or Ethernet cable) can be routed out the front of the station via the slots provided along the edge of the front bezel.

Wireline Board

The Wireline Board is the interface between the MTR3000 base station/repeater and the customer’s phone lines. The Wireline Board supports Local PTT, Tone, and DC Remote Control modes, of which the later two allow for channel selection and PTT signaling from compatible consoles. The Wireline Board can be configured for either 2-wire or 4-wire operation as needed.
The Wireline Board uses Digital Signal Processing (DSP) techniques to implement all required remote control functions, filtering algorithms, and audio adjustments. Audio enters and leaves the board as analog, but is converted to digital in the interim for processing.

The Wireline board allows for configurable impedance matching to the greater wireline network. Line impedance is generally standardized by country or region as shown in the table below. The line impedance setting is configured using the CPS software configuration tool.
Table:. Selectable Wireline Impedances
Tone Remote Control
A tone sequence must meet specific requirements for timing, amplitude, and frequency to be considered valid. The timing requirements for a tone sequence are defined in the tables below. All tone sequences must include a minimum of 120 mS of high level guard tone and 40 mS of function tone. i.e. A function tone is required (even on single frequency systems). Low Level Guard Tone (LLGT) is not required. This allows the console to change frequencies or manipulate alternate CPS defined GPIO functions without keying up the base station/repeater. When Low Level Guard Tone is present (at the end of a tone sequence), the base station/repeater will key up and remain transmitting for as long as LLGT is present.
The following tables reflect the predefined tone plans the MTR3000 base station/repeater supports (+/- 10Hz):

MTR3000 INSTALLATION

Rack and Cabinet Installation, Placement & Site Design

Site Design

There are certain rules which must be followed when designing a site with base stations/repeaters which are forced convection cooled. Since base stations/repeaters with forced convection cooling (fans) are typically smaller than those without fans, the natural tendency of the site designer is install as many base stations/repeaters in an area as possible. When cooling base stations/repeaters, the environment in which the base stations/repeaters are installed is just as important as the actual heat sink designs for the electronics. Some planning must go into the ventilation, and in most cases, air conditioning of the sites.
When an MTR3000 is placed in a cabinet, there must be vent openings on the sides for air to enter, and vents in the back for air to exit. To make sure the airflow through the cabinet is not restricted there must be a minimum of six inches of open area between the outlet of the air vent on the rear of the cabinet and any airflow obstructions. It is also desirable to avoid exhausting heat on cables to avoid shortening cable life span.
Warning: It is strongly recommended to NOT install batteries in the cabinet with the station.
Hydrogen and oxygen gases produced during electrolysis are colorless and odorless. The hydrogen gas is of particular concern since it produces a potentially explosive atmosphere when it reaches a 4% level of concentration in the air. The room containing the battery must have sufficient natural or forced air ventilation to prevent a build-up of gas exceeding 2% of the room's occupied volume. In addition, the gas must be vented to the outside rather than re-circulated. Therefore, installing a battery in the cabinet could cause serious venting problems.
A convenient location should be chosen with regard to power, control line, and antenna access. Refer to the Motorola R56 Standards (hardcopy p/n: 68P81089E50-B, CD-ROM p/n: 98R80384V83) for proper placement and installation of these lines. The base station/repeater should also be readily accessible for future maintenance and servicing.
Providing adequate lightning protection is critical to a safe and reliable communications site. Telephone lines, RF transmission cables, and AC and DC power lines must all be protected to prevent lightning energy from entering the site building. RF transmission lines from the antenna, down the tower, and into the building must be grounded. All RF transmission lines, including unused spares, must contain a lighting surge suppresser. Further information can be found in the Motorola Quality Standards Fixed Network Equipment Installation manual, R56 (Part # 68-81089E50).
Equipment shall be installed in site meeting the requirements of a “restricted access location”, per UL60950-1, which is defined as follows: “Access can only be gained by service persons or by user who has been warned about the possible burn hazard on equipment metal housing and hazardous energy
75
Page 77
level. Access to the equipment is through the use of a tool or lock and key, or other means of security, and is controlled by the authority responsible for the location”.

Installation Considerations

Rear access is required for the MTR3000.
No clearance is required on the sides of the cabinet or racks; however, there must be provisions for proper ventilation which allows for air intake by the PA and PS fans, which draw air in from the side.
Service access for the MTR3000 Base Station/Repeater requires a minimum of two feet in front and rear of the rack or cabinet for servicing equipment.

Seismic Reliability

MTR3000 cabinets and open racks that are installed in seismically active areas may require additional anchoring and support. Refer to your local regulatory agency requirements regarding seismic considerations for your particular location. For installation guidelines, also refer to the Motorola Standards and Guidelines for Communications Sites (R56) document (Motorola Part Number 6881089E50).

Cabinet Stacking

Depending on the floor-to-ceiling height available, the MTR3000 cabinets and racks may be stacked. It is necessary to securely fasten the bottom cabinet or modular rack to the floor or other rigid surface capable of supporting the load of the stacked configuration. Order kit number TRN7750 for hardware between two cabinets or modular racks that are stacked. The maximum number of cabinets or modular racks that can be stacked is as follows:
The 30” Modular Rack can be stacked a maximum of 3 per stack (2286 mm (90 in.)). The 45” Modular Rack can be stacked a maximum of 3 per stack (2286 mm (90 in.)). The 52” Modular Rack can be stacked a maximum of 2 per stack (2640 mm (104 in.)). The 30” Cabinet can be stacked a maximum of 3 per stack (2286 mm (90 in.)). The 46” Cabinet can be stacked a maximum of 2 per stack (2337 mm (92 in.)). The 60” Cabinets cannot be stacked.

Cabinet Mount

The mounting of only ONE STATION PER CABINET is recommended. More than one station per cabinet will result in degradation of thermal specifications at high ambient temperatures. Appropriate precautions should be taken to ensure that the station ambient temperature does not exceed +60˚ C (+140˚ F). These guidelines apply to closed cabinets. For open cabinets (i.e., no doors or side panels), refer to rack mount guidelines below for thermal impact.
76
Page 78

Rack Mount

Multiple MTR3000 stations can be mounted in an open rack without degradation of specification. To maintain thermal specifications for equipment including the DLN6718 (Station Control OCXO), MTR3000 stations require 1 Rack Unit of spacing between stations. For stations with DLN6718 that are installed with no spacing, the station ambient temperature may not exceed +50˚ C (+122˚ F).
NOTE: The DLN6718 is standard/required in the 800/900MHz bands (T3000A and T2003A)

Adding MTR3000 and/or Upgraded MTR2000 stations to MTR2000 sites

An MTR3000 Base Station/Repeater can be added to existing repeater sites currently populated with MTR2000 stations. The following physical connections are backwards compatible between that of an MTR2000 and an Upgraded MTR2000/ MTR3000 station:
External frequency reference
RX antenna
TX antenna
DC Power
AC Power
Microphone (analog mode only)
Speaker (analog mode only)
The peripherals that are used for the MTR2000 can remain in use for the MTR3000. There is no need to change out any of the following peripherals if a MTR2000 is upgraded or an MTR3000 is used in place of an MTR2000:
Duplexer
Preselector
Dual circulator
External frequency reference (EFR)
Antenna relay
Argus Battery Charger (L1884A)
The following connectors have changed between that of an MTR2000 and an Upgraded MTR2000 / MTR3000. They are as follows:
Service port -- It is now a type B female USB
Wireline Connector (Backplane J6) -- It is now a detachable screw terminal block.
Note: This connection is not functionally supported in the initial release of the MTR3000.
77
Page 79

Analog Radio Interface

The analog radio interface at the System (J5) and Aux (J7) backplane connections has extensively changed between that of an MTR2000 and an Upgraded MTR2000 / MTR3000. All existing cables that connected to a MTR2000 station’s J5 and J7 connector can not be used with an Upgraded MTR2000 / MTR3000. In general, all analog radio interfaces will be made at the J7 connector on the MTR3000. Details of the signals are provided in the “Backplane Connections” section of this manual.
The 3rd party controller cables that will connect to the MTR3000 J7 connector can be fabricated by the aid of the wiring diagrams provided in the Basic Service Manual (Appendix D). Alternately, the cables for the following 3rd party controllers can also be obtained directly from the noted manufactures.
Model 30 World Patch (Motorola, X244AH)
Model 38 Community Repeater Panel (Motorola, X244AJ)
NOTE: The MTR3000 base station/repeater doesn’t require the use of the Wireline Board to support the above mentioned 3rd party controllers. This is being noted since the MTR2000 did require the use of its Wireline Board to support said 3rd party controllers.

Wireline Interface

The Wireline interface to the MTR3000 base station/repeater is provided by a the MTR3000 Wireline Board. Although the Wireline is installed as a card inside the MTR 3000 Base Station/Repeater, its operation is similar to an External Tone Remote or a DC Remote Adapter. The Wireline Board drives the same GPIO signals that an external controller would drive if it were connected to the J7 DB-25 connector on the back of the base station/repeater. Although the Wireline Board’s functionality is similar with an external controller solution, almost all Wireline options are configured through the CPS and Tuner software configuration tools, just as the other base station/repeater options are.
The salient differences between the MTR3000 and MTR2000 Wireline functions are as follows:
The MTR3000 Wireline supports (and the MTR2000 does not) the following:
- DC remote
- 2-Wire, 4-Wire, and multi-national impedance support with one FRU
- CPS configurable impedances
- FCC part 68 compliance
- Preconfigured tone tables
The MTR2000 Wireline supports (and the MTR3000 does not) the following:
- Dynamic tone tables
- Multiple commands per tone
- 8-Wire
NOTE: The MTR3000 Wireline Board will not function in the MTR2000 base station/repeater
78
Page 80

GPIO and Audio Configuration

The configuration of the MTR3000 GPIO and audio types for the various controllers noted in the “Analog Radio Interface” and “Wireline Interface” sections can be accomplished with the CPS application. Details of the specific configuration settings are noted in Appendix G of the Basic Service Manual.

Incompatible MTR2000 FRUs and Boards

The MTR2000 wireline boards are not compatible with an upgraded MTR2000 / MTR3000 station. After a MTR2000 has been upgraded, its existing wireline board (if present) should be removed.
Additionally, the Aux I/O board from the MTR2000 will not be supported in the initially releases for the upgraded MTR2000 / MTR3000. However, the COR and PTT functions (TIA986 E&M compliant) are planned to be supported in future releases via the MTR2000 Aux I/0 board. The Main / Standby feature was often employed in the MTR2000 station, which required the Wild Card Option as well as the Aux I/O card itself. The upgraded MTR2000 / MTR3000 will support a version of the Main / Standby function as a standard feature. The configuration parameters to invoke this functionality are noted in the MOTOTRBO System Planner.
Note: With the Upgraded MTR2000 / MTR3000, once the standby station is the active repeater, the
main repeater will be locked out of service even if its fault recovers. To unlock an Upgraded MTR2000 / MTR3000 station requires a local read / write of the station codeplug after the fault condition is corrected.
Lastly, MTR2000 receivers, exciters, and control FRUs can not be used in conjunction with any MTR3000 receiver, exciter, or control FRU.

MTR3000 and Upgraded MTR2000 Analog Radio Interface Differences

Via the components of a MTR2000 MOTOTRBO Digital Upgrade (T2003A), an upgraded MTR2000, will provide identical functionality to that of a MTR3000 with the exceptions of the following:
The PA “sticker code calibration coefficients” must be entered into the codeplug for an
Upgrade MTR2000 since the original MTR2000 PA does not have an onboard EEPROM for their storage.
The Upgraded MTR2000 J7 backplane connector does not provide the accessory 14.2VDC
(pin 20) or GPIO_10 (pin 5) functionality. For the Upgraded MTR2000, these signals must be accessed at the J5 System connector.
The Upgraded MTR2000 will not support the MTR3000 wireline card, which provides
integrated tone and DC remote control.
nd
NOTE: In regards to the 2
and 3rd bullets above, an Upgraded MTR2000 can support said J7 backplane connections as well as the MTR3000 Wireline Board if the MTR2000 backplane is replaced/upgraded. The part number of the replacement/upgraded backplane is DLN6721.
79
Page 81

MTR3000 and Upgraded MTR2000 Analog Radio RF Performance Differences

An Upgraded MTR2000 and MTR3000 will provide the same RF receiver and transmitter performance with the exception that the MTR3000 will allow an extended RF power out range for the high power models. The power output range of an MTR3000 is 8W-100W (UHF and 800/900), while an Upgraded MTR2000 or MTR2000 has a power output range of 25W-100W (UHF) and 20W-75W (800 or 900).

Station Grounding

The MTR3000 Base Station/Repeater is designed to accept a grounding cable adjacent to the receiver antenna connection at the rear of the station. An M8 tapped hole in the Power Supply module is equipped with a M8 machine screw with external tooth star washer. The grounding cable lug should be securely fastened to this point, which is marked with the international ground symbol. Refer to the Motorola R56 Standards (hardcopy p/n: 68P81089E50-B, CD-ROM p/n: 98R80384V83) for grounding cable specifications and routing guidelines.

POWER SOURCE

Block Diagram of AC & DC Flow

The MTR3000 Base Station/Repeater can operate from either AC or DC power as its primary power source. The MTR3000 Base Station/Repeater can also provides battery revert functionality when both an AC and DC source is interfaced to the Base Station/Repeater.
When both AC and DC sources are supplied, the station will operate from the AC power source unless the AC power source is interrupted, at which time the station will automatically revert to the DC power source.
Operation returns to the AC source when the AC source is restored. Switchover from AC to DC and back again is fully automatic. No operator action is required. Figure 50 shows the AC and DC power distribution in the MTR3000 Base Station/Repeater when an AC with battery revert system is employed.
Note: When both AC and DC sources are present at the station power supply, AC will always
take precedence.

Power Rollback

W
It is important to note that when the Upgraded MTR2000 or MTR3000 is running from a DC source, the maximum RF output power is dependent on the station power supply’s DC input voltage. Figure 24 shows a graphical representation of what the maximum RF output power is as a function of the DC input voltage of a UHF station and figure 25 shows the maximum RF output power as a function of the DC input voltage of a 800/900MHz station.
From Figure 24 and 25, the following can be seen:
The station’s max output power is equal to 0W when; 21.6VDC > DC input voltage
> 32VDC
The station’s max output power is equal to 65W when; 30.7VDC < DC input
voltage 32VDC
For UHF, the station’s max output power is equal to 100W when; 25.7VDC ≤ DC
input voltage 30.7VDC
For 800/900MHZ, the station’s max output power is equal to 100W when; 24.7VDC
DC input voltage 30.7VDC
The station’s max output power is equal to (DC input voltage – 21.6) * 10 + 60;
when 21.6VDC DC input voltage < 25.7VDC
Note: 21.6VDC and 32VDC are the specified operating limits of the station. Beyond those
limits, the power supply of the station will power itself (and the Base Station/Repeater) down for its own protection as well as the batteries.

Number of Battery Cells

When AC power is interrupted in a battery revert configuration, a typical 12 cell lead-acid battery (two 6 cell battery packs) will yield approximately 25.2VDC. Notice from Figure 24 that
25.2VDC results in a maximum of 95W output power at the initial moment of the battery bank’s discharge.
If a 13 cell lead-acid battery is used (13 individual cells) instead, the battery bank will yield approximately 27.3VDC, which would allow the full maximum output power of 100W to be achieved. All other things being equal, this will also result in a longer run time in battery revert mode before 21.6VDC is reached. This configuration can be supported by the charging system noted in the “Battery Charging System and Wire Gauge Determination” section of this document.

Battery Charging System and Wire Gauge Determination

The MTR3000 station does not provide an integrated battery charging function. If battery charging is required for battery revert functionality, then the use of an external Motorola
approved battery reverting charger is required. See
Table 31. MTR3000 J5 System Backplane Connections
Table 31.
L1884 Battery Reverting 24V DC charger requires, in addition, the following cables: o CDN6226A CHGR LOAD CABLE MTR2000 ( to connect the Battery
charger with the MTR3000 Base Station Power Supply)
o CDN6227A CHGR BAT CABLE MTR2000 (to connect the Battery charger
to the battery)
Consult the Battery Reverting Charger Detailed Technical Specifications for information regarding charger specifications, battery selection, wiring gauge determinations, and precautions.

AC Breaker Recommendation

Each MTR3000 should have its own AC supply breaker in order to ensure that a fault which causes the breaker to open does not result in the loss of multiple transmit channels. However, multiple MTR3000 stations could be supported on a single circuit (see “Power and Energy Consumption Curves” section).
86
Page 88
For a 120 VAC, 60Hz application, the AC supply breaker should be rated for a continuous current of no less than 15A, with a recommended rating of 20A.
For a 220 VAC, 50Hz application, the AC supply breaker should be rated for a continuous current of no less than 15A, with a recommended rating of 20A.
The above breaker current ratings are per R56 guide lines for communications equipment.

DC Breaker Recommendation

For information involving the sizing of cables and DC power distribution, please refer to the
Motorola R56 standard Standards and Guidelines for Communication Sites (68P81089E50).
For each MTR3000 Base Station/Repeater, the DC supply breaker should be rated for a continuous current of 20A.

STATION MAINTENANCE & ALIGNMENT

Routine Maintenance

The station has been designed with state-of-the-art technology and operates under software control, thus requiring minimal routine maintenance. Virtually all station operating parameters are monitored and self-corrected by the Station Control Module (SCM), making adjustments and tuning virtually unnecessary. Provided that the equipment is installed in an area which meets the specified environmental requirements, the only routine maintenance task required is the yearly calibration of the station reference oscillator circuit.
Annual cleaning is recommended for dirty sites.

Alignment

The MTR3000 requires the alignment of up to three parameters. They are as follows:
Modulation Limit: The alignment is only needed in cases where the station is
interfaced to a 3rd party controller that requires the use of the TX Data port on the J7 backplane connection.
Power Output Calibration (Upgraded MTR2000 Only): This alignment is to allow
entry of the PA “sticker code calibration coefficients” into the stations codeplug.
Speaker Volume: This alignment is for the adjustment of the speaker port audio
output level. (analog mode only)
Station Frequency Reference: Recommend to be verified / aligned once per year to
maintain regulatory compliance.

Customer Programming Software

The Customer Programming Software (CPS) is the tool used to configure and service the base station/repeater. The CPS runs on a PC laptop or desktop.. The CPS program will be able to configure and service any device supported by the CPS. Once the configuration information has been read from a device, the CPS will tailor its menus and service screens to fit the needs of that device.
The CPS is designed to run the currently supported Microsoft Windows Operating Systems such as Windows XP Home and Professional, Windows 2000 & Vista.
The PC used to run the CPS requires at least 100 MB of free space to install the CPS. CPS software comes on a CD thus a CD drive is needed on the PC. Communication with the MTR3000 Base Station/Repeater requires both a serial port and an Ethernet port.
88
Page 90
The CPS install disk contains three CPS applications; CPS, Repeater Diagnostics and Control (RDAC), and Tuner. Each of the three applications contains on line help to aid the user in configuring and aligning the station. In general, the purpose of the three applications is as follows:
CPS: Is radio programming software for dealers and service technicians who need to
configure the MTR3000. The CPS allows the user to access and program (e.g. read, write or clone) the codeplug of the MTR3000 in the available systems.
Tuner: Is an application that allows for the alignment of the MTR3000 (Modulation
Limit, Speaker Volume, and MTR2000 Upgrade PA sticker code entry). It also allows testing of the MTR3000 (Bit Error Rate).
RDAC: Is an application for the system technicians who need to run diagnostics on
the MTR3000. It allows the user to remotely or locally monitor the status of the radio and gather real-time radio hardware failure reports via alarm messages reported by the radio. In addition to the diagnostics capability, the application also allows the user to remotely control some of the parameters of a radio. The application can be used in a Single-Site (Local mode) or IP Site (IP Site mode) environment with the main purpose of maintaining all the radios registered within the system.
The MTR3000 and the MTR2000 MOTOTRBO Upgrade both use model GMVN5141 CPS. This is the same CPS that is used to program the MOTOTRBO mobiles, portables and DR3000 station. The software is developed to recognize the station it is programming; therefore you may see different options in the MTR3000 programming software that you have not seen in the DR3000.
MTR3000 stations use a standard type A to type B USB cable for connection to the CPS computer.
The cables used to program each MOTOTRBO product may be different. Refer to the MTR3000 and the DR3000 ordering guide and price pages to determine the cable that is required.

Base Station Software and Future Software Upgrades

The MOTOTRBO analog and digital software is pre-loaded on the Station Control Module. The station control module comes standard in the MTR3000 as well as the MTR2000 MOTOTRBO Upgrade. As software updates become available it can be downloaded for customers who have purchased either product. Station software releases are available approximately twice a year and are located on Motorola on line (MOL).
Periodically software features will be released that are available for purchase. Capacity Plus (HKVN4045A) is a software feature that fits into this category. You can purchase multiple software feature upgrades to one station unless otherwise noted. If the base station software is upgraded as described above you will maintain your license for the software features that have been purchased. For example if you purchase the Capacity Plus license and then download version 1.6 software from MOL your Capacity Plus software feature remains in the station.
