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.

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
