EQUIPMENT OVERVIEW

4 Series 3000DV2 radios can operate in the VHF 100 to 163 MHz and/or UHF 225 to 339.975 MHz frequency bands, with 25 kHz channel spacing. 8.33 kHz channel spacing is also available in the VHF band between 118.000 MHz and 136.975 MHz. Standard operating modes are amplitude modulation (AM) or frequency modulation (FM) with both clear voice and data (16 kBit cypher) modes selectable. When 8.33 kHz channel spacing is used, the radio automatically defaults to AM, clear voice mode.

5 The radios are suitable for use in voice encryption systems and Link 11 applications. All UHF sets can be equipped with an internal ECCM module to provide Have Quick II frequency hopping operation (for Have Quick operating instructions refer to document PAE 31B33060SUP).

6 The equipment’s operating frequency is selected using the front panel’s numeric data keys. Up to 99 pre-set channels can be stored in the equipment’s memory. Each stored channel contains frequency and operating mode information. Pre-set channels can be recalled for operational use, or recalled for display without altering the operational frequency.

7 The transceiver and transmitter equipments produce a maximum output of 40 watts in AM mode and 60 watts in FM mode. The output power can be reduced by using a front panel control. If a PAE 3640 power amplifier is used in conjunction with a 3000DV2 transmitter or transceiver, the radio’s FM output is automatically reduced to 40 watts to produce a 100 watt output from the power amplifier.

Power Supplies

8 The radios can be operated from standard ac input supplies, or from a low voltage dc supply (refer to section 2, specification). Both ac and dc input supplies can be simultaneously connected to the equipment.

Section 1 3000DV2 Radios Page 2

9 When both ac and dc supplies are connected, operation from the ac supply takes priority; automatic change-over to the dc supply will occur if the ac supply fails. On restoration of the ac supply, the equipment reverts to ac operation.

Built-in Test Facility

10 A built-in test (BIT) facility monitors essential parameters within the equipment, and displays an error message if a fault is found. The BIT functions in three different ways:

It allows certain equipment parameters to be displayed only when selected by the user.

❏

It continuously performs certain test routines while the equipment is operating.

❏

It provides a complete check of the equipment when selected to do so by the user. During this

❏

operation, normal operation of the equipment is suspended.

11 Full details of BIT operation and the resultant error messages are given in section 4.

TYPES OF INSTALLATION

12 The series 3000DV2 radios can be installed in one of four ways:

❏ Mounted on fixed runners within a standard 483 mm (19 inch) equipment rack.

❏ Fitted on telescopic slides within a standard 483 mm (19 inch) equipment rack.

❏ As a free-standing desktop equipment using the PAE free-standing accessory kit.

❏ In mobile applications using the PAE free-standing accessory kit plus an anti-vibration mount

kit.

Control of Equipment

13 The radios can be controlled in local, or remote modes. In local mode, control of the equipment is by using the front panel controls and indicators as detailed in section 4. In addition to the front panel controls, a number of inputs, outputs and control facilities can be configured through the rear panel facilities socket. A full list of the facilities can be found in section 3.

14 As an alternative to local control, a PAE series 3000V2 Remote Control Unit (RCU) can be used; the RCU replicates many of the radio’s front panel controls and indicators. The radio’s remote control module can be configured for operation through dc or ac (tone) circuits. When configured for dc operation, the RCU can be located (using suitable land lines) up to 1 km (1043 yards) from the equipment. When configured for ac operation, no dc path is required between the equipment and the RCU; this enables the control circuits to be routed, for example, through a microwave link.

15 For remote management of the equipment, and when part of a communication system, the PAE Multi-Access Remote Control (MARC) system can be used.

PRELIMINARY CHECKS

2 Carefully remove the transit packaging from the equipment and carry out a visual inspection of the unit for signs of damage that may have occurred during shipment.

Note ...

It is recommended that if a claim for damage in transit is to be made the packaging and/or containers should be retained to substantiate the claim.

3 Table 3-1 details the internal user adjustments for series 3000DV2 radios with column (3) showing the manufacturers standard settings. Check that settings applicable to your equipment meet the required operational conditions.

Note that the radio(s) are normally configured to a user’s requirements during manufacture at Park Air Electronics. Table 3-1 is therefore given for informational purposes only. If there is a need to alter any settings reference to the appropriate technical handbook(s) may be required.

4 If adjustments are required to be made to the internal standard settings remove the top cover and locate the appropriate module as indicated in Table 3-1. If the equipment is configured as a desktop or module installation, the olive green top cover will have to be removed prior to the removal of the equipment top cover. To access the components locate and loosen the two securing slotted head screws and withdraw the module. Refitting is the reverse of removal.

MECHANICAL INSTALLATION

5 The equipment can be installed in one of the following ways:

On fixed runners within a standard 483 mm (19 inch) equipment rack.

❏

On telescopic slides within a standard 483 mm (19 inch) equipment rack.

❏

As a desktop equipment by using the PAE free-standing accessory kit.

❏

In mobile applications by using the PAE free-standing accessory kit plus an anti-vibration

❏

mount accessory kit.

Caution!

It is essential that the chosen mechanical installation provides adequate support along the depth (front to rear) of the radio. Under no circumstances must the radio be supported by the front panel; doing so can cause irreparable damage.

Fixed Runner

6 If using fixed runners, they must provide adequate support along the depth (front to rear), at both sides of the unit. The unit is secured to the rack through the four front panel fixing holes using suitable hardware. The front panel fixing holes must not be used at any time to support the equipment.

Telescopic Slides

7 If using telescopic slides, reference should be made to Fig. 5. Four M4 tapped holes, each 10 mm deep, are provided each side of the equipment for fitting the runners. Dependent on the rack/slide combination used, it may be necessary to fit a spacer bar between the runner and the equipment.

62 Before any setting-up procedures are carried out, users must ensure that the installation instructions, as detailed in Section 3 of this handbook, have been successfully completed. Setting-up the equipment requires the following procedures to be carried out:

Switching on the ac and dc supplies as applicable to the installation.

❏

Frequency selection. This procedure is used to select an operating frequency without

❏

programming the frequency and an appropriate channel number into the radio’s memory.

Programming channel and frequency information into the radio’s memory.

❏

Channel recall. This procedure recalls a previously stored channel, setting the equipment to

❏

operate on the frequency appropriate to that channel number.

Channel verification. This procedure allows an operator to check the frequency allocated to

❏

any stored channel number.

Screen blanking (if this facility is required).

❏

❏ System reset and auto-calibrate (if necessary).

❏ Guard receiver operation. This procedure is appropriate only to equipment which have the

guard receiver option fitted. The guard receiver provides constant monitoring of the international distress frequency.

Users should note that there are different procedures for selecting frequencies and

channel information when using 25 kHz channel spacing, and 8.33 kHz channel spacing.

SWITCHING ON

63 The equipment can be operated from an ac or a dc supply. If both ac and dc supplies are connected, the equipment will normally operate from the ac supply; if the ac supply fails, operation will automatically transfer (without interruption) to the dc supply. When the ac supply is restored, the equipment reverts to ac operation. Switching on is carried out as follows:

(a) At the equipment’s front panel, ensure the AC and DC SUPPLY switches are in the off

position (down).

(b) Apply ac, and/or, dc supplies to the equipment.

Check that the AC indicator is lit.

(d) If a dc supply is connected to the equipment, set the DC SUPPLY switch to the on position

(up). Check that the DC indicator is lit.

(e) Once power is established the radio then carries out a power-on self-test (see paragraph 111

on page 30).

8.33 kHz channel spacing. When setting a radio’s operating frequency to operate with 8.33 kHz channel spacing, a special frequency designation should be entered from the front panel, not the actual frequency.

70 Table 4-1 shows the special frequency pattern over the frequency range 118.0000 MHz to

118.1916 MHz. These channel designations have been defined by ICAO and are detailed in ICAO Annex 10, Volume v, Chapter 4. The frequency designation pattern is repeated over the available

8.33 kHz frequency range (that is, up to 136.975 MHz). Examples for entering frequencies are given on the next pages.

71 When 8.33 kHz channel spacing is used, the radio automatically selects AM and narrow-band working. Other modes are not available with this channel spacing.

SYSTEM RESET

75 The system reset command resets the radio resulting in all options, channel and synthesiser calibration information being lost. Before further use, and following this command, an auto-calibrate procedure must be carried out (see paragraph 77).

76 The system reset key sequence 91, (SHIFT s), RESET resets the radio and returns it to a known state. After a system reset (plus auto-calibrate) frequency and channel settings must be re-entered.

AUTO-CALIBRATE

77 The auto-calibrate routine recalibrates the synthesiser lock times, and needs to be initiated after a system reset. (A system reset clears the equipment of all stored data). To initiate the auto-calibrate routine, use the following procedure:

(a) Ensure the step auto-calibrate size is 25 kHz (0.025 MHz). The key sequence is

0.0 2 5, (SHIFT s), FREQ

(b) Initiate auto-calibrate. The key sequence for this is: 91, AUX C

225 MHz (UHF only radio).

(d) The equipment will then go through the calibration routine which takes approximately

10 minutes. During this time, the frequency display shows Calib, the channel display shows ON and the monitor display increments from 1 to 100 to give a progress indication.

(e) When the equipment has stepped through all UHF and VHF channel frequencies (all

channels have been calibrated when the frequency display returns to the original frequency display), stop the routine by switching off the radio. Auto-calibration can be stopped by entering 91, AUX C.

(f) Re-enter any required channel frequencies. The radio is now ready for operational use.

GUARD RECEIVER OPERATION

78 The GUARD mode function is only available when the guard receiver option is fitted. Selection of the guard receiver is achieved by selecting the guard ON key to the on position (shown by the adjacent indicator being lit).

79 The guard receiver will continuously monitor the international VHF distress frequency of 121.5 MHz when the main receiver is set to a VHF frequency or the UHF distress frequency of 243 MHz when the main receiver is set to a UHF frequency. When a signal is detected on the guard frequency the indicator adjacent to the guard MUTE key will light and the audio will be heard in the loudspeaker, headset, or through the guard receiver’s audio output that is available on the facilities 2 connector.

80 When a distress broadcast is received through the guard receiver, the operator can select the distress frequency as the equipment’s operating frequency by using the channel recall procedure, or the frequency selection procedure.

MARITIME BAND - ADDITIONAL OPERATING INFORMATION

GENERAL

100 Radios incorporating the maritime band option (Option 10) are user selectable between the following operational modes:

Normal (non-maritime band operation)

❏

Ship (maritime band operation)

❏

Shore (maritime band operation).

❏

NORMAL MODE

101 The normal (or non-maritime mode) will perform identically to a radio without maritime capability. The only exception is an additional key sequence that is required to switch into one or other of the maritime modes (see paragraph 109).

SHIP/SHORE MODES

102 In maritime mode, the channels 1 to 28, 60 to 74 and 77 to 88 (see Table 4-4) are overlaid with international maritime VHF frequencies. These particular channels cannot be altered by the operator although the remaining channels still have this capability.

103 As the actual frequency of transmission and reception are pre-set for maritime channels, the 6-digit display will either indicate ‘SH IP.’ or ShorE.’. The display will also include one of the following suffix characters:

‘I’ - denotes International selection (i.e. SH IP.I or ShorE.I)

‘A’ - denotes American selection (i.e. SH IP.A or ShorE. A)

104 The format in use may be toggled by a key sequence (see paragraph 109).

Ship/Shore View Modes

105 In the ship/shore view modes the current operating frequency is displayed at all times. During reception, the receive frequency is displayed. the display will then indicate the transmit frequency during subsequent transmissions (this allows test engineers to check that the radios are transmitting and receiving on the correct frequency).

Section 4 3000DV2 Radios Page 26

Channel Change

106 Changing maritime channels follows the same format as with normal channel changes. As digits are entered, they are displayed on the frequency display. Once a valid selection has been made, the new channel is selected. If this is within the maritime range, the display will return to maritime mode, i.e. displaying ‘SH IP.A’ (SH IP.I) or ‘ShorE.A’ (ShorE.I) unless in view mode.

Frequency Change

107 Maritime frequencies cannot be changed as they are internationally set. If a frequency is entered, the frequency display will show ‘Error’ and the channel display will show the error number 10.

Note ...

The channels not covered by the maritime standards may be re-programmed as normal. These channels are duplicates of those in non-maritime mode and as such, any changes made will remain when maritime mode is de-selected.

External RF Filter

108 The external RF filters normally used with 3000DV2 series equipment require a few seconds to retune to a new frequency and cannot be used for filtering both transmission and reception signals on a Two Frequency Simplex channel. If a filter is fitted when one of these channels is recalled, an error message will be displayed (see Table 4-5).

BUILT-IN TEST (BIT) OPERATION

110 The BIT functions monitor key radio parameters and provides an indication if an equipment malfunction occurs. The BIT functions in three different ways:

Power-On Self-Test (POST)

❏

Continuously monitored functions

❏

Interruptive self-test routines.

❏

POWER-ON SELF-TEST

111 A power-on self-test (POST) is performed to check the basic functionality of the radio.

112 If no problems are revealed PASS is shown in the monitor display; see following example:

FREQUENCY CHANNEL MONITOR

225.000

113 If a problem exists with the synthesiser, the frequency window shows the following message (this message indicates the set is inoperative and cannot be used):

FREQUENCY CHANNEL MONITOR

nO Syn

114 Any other post-initialisation problems are indicated by having the BIT display window show ‘POSt’ as shown in the following example:

FREQUENCY CHANNEL MONITOR

305.000

PASS

POSt

Section 4 3000DV2 Radios Page 30

115 On error the MEM key can be used to view each problem in turn, so that each POST problem can be noted. For example, if the internal Have Quick module (anti-jam) option is enabled and the Have Quick module has failed, the MEM key should be pressed a number of times and the following display will be shown:

FREQUENCY CHANNEL MONITOR

nO AJ

116 Pressing the MEM key a number of times will cause each POST problem in turn to be shown, returning to the original display when all POST codes have been shown. The post-initialisation test can only be cleared by switching the set off, fixing the problem concerned and switching the set back on again. Analysing faults is outside the scope of this handbook. Reference should be made to the appropriate technical handbook for further information.

POSt

CONTINUOUSLY MONITORED FUNCTIONS

117 The BIT automatically performs test routines that monitor the equipment’s test point voltages at least once every two seconds. If a test point voltage is found to be outside the pre-set limit, the module and test point numbers are stored in the fault memory. The error message ‘bit’ will be shown on the monitor display. If the fault is only temporary, the bit error message will disappear.

118 If the fault is caused by an external influence and the set is still operating correctly at reduced power, one of the following messages will be displayed:

❏ If a high temperature within the equipment is sensed, the error message °C will be shown on

the monitor display.

❏

If the fault is caused by a high VSWR at the VHF antenna connection, ANT 1 will be shown on the monitor display.

❏

If the fault is caused by a high VSWR at the UHF antenna connection, ANT 2 will be shown on the monitor display.

❏

If the fault is caused by a low supply voltage AC or DC (as selected), PS will be shown in the monitor display.

❏

If the fault is with an external power amplifier, 3640, Ebit will be shown in the monitor display. Under this condition the set will be operating correctly at full power, however the 3640 will be in bypass condition (non-amplifying). When the 3640 fault is cleared, the following key sequence must be entered at the radio to clear the bypass condition and restore normal working:

SHIFTs, RESET

3000DV2 Radios Section 4

Page 31

INTERRUPTIVE SELF-TEST ROUTINE

119 This test is initiated by pressing the TEST key. During the self-test routine, normal operation of the equipment is suspended, and the TEST indicator is on.

120 At the start of the test, the fault memory is cleared and the MEM indicator is turned off. If a fault is found, the module and test point number is stored in the fault memory, and the MEM indicator turned on. The test routine then proceeds to the next module.

121 On completion, one of the following status messages is shown on the MONITOR display:

PASS - indicating system is fully operational.

❏

bit - indicating one or more out of limit conditions exist.

❏

tCAr - indicating the interruptive test has been aborted. The transmitter’s carrier output power

❏

is below specification, i.e. less than 4 watts (not applicable to receivers).

tAUd - indicating the interruptive test has been aborted. The transmitter’s depth of modulation

❏

is below specification, i.e., less than 50% (not applicable to receivers).

rSEn - indicating the interruptive test has been aborted. The receiver’s sensitivity is below

❏

specification (not applicable to transmitters).

❏ rAUd - indicating the interruptive test has been aborted. The receiver’s audio is below

specification (not applicable to transmitters).

❏ ANT 1 - indicating high VSWR present at the VHF antenna connection.

❏ ANT 2 - indicating high VSWR present at the UHF antenna connection.

❏ °C - indicating equipment above normal operating temperature.

❏ PS - indicating low supply voltage AC or DC as selected.

❏

EbIt - indicating an external error has occurred. When an external power amplifier type 3640 is connected to the radio and this message is received, the 3640 is switched to the bypass condition (non-amplifying). When the fault is cleared in the 3640, the following key sequence must be entered at the radio to clear the 3640 bypass condition and restore normal working of the 3640:

SHIFT s, RESET

Note ...

During antenna testing it is not possible for the equipment to indicate a fault on both VHF and UHF antenna systems simultaneously. Should this situation occur, the first detected fault will be displayed on the monitor. It is therefore advisable to check both antenna systems independently in the event of a failure indication.

Section 4 3000DV2 Radios Page 32

FAULT MEMORY

122 The fault memory contains one location for each module. The contents of the memory can be viewed by pressing the memory (MEM) key. Successive MEM key presses display any other stored faults in rotation.

123 Internal faults are displayed on the monitor display as module number and test point number. External faults are displayed as ANT 1, ANT 2, °C, PS, and EbIt indicating VHF transmitter VSWR, UHF transmitter VSWR, temperature, supply voltage, and an external equipment fault respectively.

124 The fault memory is cleared by pressing SHIFT s, RESET.

USER MAINTENANCE

FILTER CLEANING

125 The air filters, fitted to the equipment’s rear panel, should be cleaned every six months (or more regularly in high dust conditions). The filter is cleaned as follows:

(a) Ensure that the equipment has been isolated from the input ac and dc supplies.

(b) At the rear of the unit, locate and remove the two screws that secure the fan filter housing to

the rear panel (see Fig. 4).

pressure air supply or washing in warm water and leaving to dry. If necessary replace with a new filter (PAE Part No. 51-00507867).

(d) Refit the filters, fan EMC screen and filter housing.

LAMP TEST

126 The lamp test allows all the front panel LEDs and lamps to be illuminated simultaneously allowing the operator to check for unserviceable lamps/LEDs. To carry out the test, press the SHIFT(s) followed by the 0 (zero) key. The test is cancelled by pressing the CE key. Note that this test does not check the AC and DC supply lamps.

FREQUENCY ACCURACY CHECK

127 The ac accuracy of the transceiver’s and transmitters's frequency can be checked if a suitable frequency counter and 30 dB attenuator are available. It is recommended the frequency check be completed every six months as follows:

(a) Connect a digital frequency counter, through a 30 dB attenuator, to the VHF (or UHF)

antenna connector.

(b) At the front panel, select a frequency of 155 MHz (VHF transmitter) or 399 MHz (UHF

transmitter and VHF/UHF transceiver) and key the transmitter. Check that the frequency indicated on the frequency counter is between 154.999 and 155.001 MHz (VHF) or 398.999 and 399.001 MHz (UHF).
