RF Exposure Information

This radio is restricted to occupational/controlled applications where users have been
made aware of the potential for exposure and can exercise control over their exposure.

Antennas used for the radio must not exceed the antenna gain shown below for each
transmit frequency range. The antenna must be installed at least or exceeding the
minimum distance away from any person(s) depending on the transmit frequency.

Frequency Max Antenna Gain Min Distance

136 – 174 MHz 0 dBi 21 cm (8.3 in)
403 - 470 MHz 3 dBi 25 cm (9.9 in)
450 – 520 MHz 3 dBi 25 cm (9.9 in)
806 – 870 MHz 3 dBi 21 cm (8.3 in)

Transmit no more than 50 % of the time. Measurable RF energy exposure occurs only
when transmitting.

Failure to observe these restrictions will result in exceeding the FCC RF exposure limits.

INSTALLATION MANUAL

SECTION 1 – GENERAL INFORMATION

1. Introduction

This section contains information relative to the physical, mechanical, and electrical
characteristics of the Wulfsberg Electronics “2000” Family of Communications Systems.

2. Applicability

This manual applies only to the P-2000 panel mount transceiver, C-2000 control unit, and RT­2000 remote mount transceiver.

3. Equipment Description

The Wulfsberg “2000” family FM Communications System is a dual transceiver FM voice
communications link between the aircraft and ground facilities. The system has not been
designed by the manufacturer to be installed on Type Certificated aircraft. Installations on these
type of aircraft are subject to applicable FAA regulations.

The “2000” family consists of the P-2000 panel mount transceiver and C-2000/RT-2000 control
and remote mount transceiver.

A. P-2000 Panel Mount FM Communications Transceiver

The Wulfsberg P-2000 is a FM Tactical transceiver that incorporates one or two transceiver
modules and control functions into a single panel mount unit. Part number variations of the
unit exist for any combination of the following frequency bands: 138-174 MHz, 403-470 MHz,
450-520 MHz, and 806-870 MHz. Each transceiver module with the exception of the 806-870
MHz band can transmit with 1 or 10 Watts transmit power. The 800 MHz unit produces 1 and
3 watts transmit power. The P-2000 can operate by itself or in conjunction with the C-2000
control display acting as a remote slave control. Input voltage is 28 volts DC and the keypad
is backlit from either 28VDC, 5 VDC or 5 VRMS AC.

The P-2000 transceiver is designed to be mounted in the instrument panel that will fit a
standard DZUS mounting. Two connectors, a DB-25 and DB-15 accept all harness wiring on
the rear of the P-2000, while two TNC type RF connector provides the antenna connection
through conventional coaxial cables. For models containing one transceiver, only one
antenna port is provided.

The P-2000 consists of functional subassemblies interconnected via standard connectors and
ribbon cables. The case of the P-2000 is designed to be disassembled easily to expose most
subassemblies or circuit modules for service. All adjustments to audio levels can be made
via software and do not require the disassembly of the box. Internal test points are exposed
and available to the service technician without having to remove circuit module
subassemblies or use extender cables or cards.

The P-2000 is designed to be drop-in replacement for the C-962A/S Control unit for the
Wulfsberg RT-9600/7200 transceiver systems also known as the ARC-513 with the exception
of the 28 Volt input power. Due to increased 28 power requirements of the P-2000, wire size

on this input may need to be increased to 20 AWG. All other microphone inputs/headset
outputs and backliting are compatible.

B. C-2000 Control Display Unit

The Wulfsberg C-2000 is a control display unit that can be used as a slave control head with
a P-2000 panel mount transceiver, or as a primary or slave control head for the RT- 2000
remote transceiver. Versions of the C-2000 include black faceplate and options for either
Standard or NVG compatible displays. Input voltage is 28 volts DC and the keypad is backlit
from either 28 VDC, 5 VDC or 5 VRMS.

The C-2000 Control Display Unit is designed to be mounted in the instrument panel that will
fit a standard DZUS mounting. Two connectors, a DB-25 and DB-15, accept all harness
wiring on the rear of the P-2000.

Front panel controls establish and display the operating status of all RT-2000 or P-2000
functions when operating as a slave control unit.

C. RT-2000 Remote Mount FM Communications Transceiver

The Wulfsberg RT-2000 is a FM Tactical transceiver that incorporates one or two transceiver
modules and control functions into a single panel mount unit. Part number variations of the
unit exist for any combination of the following frequency bands: 138-174 MHz, 403-470 MHz,
450-520 MHz, and 806-870 MHz. Each transceiver module with the exception of the 806-870
MHz band can transmit with 1 or 10 Watts transmit power. The 800 MHz unit produces 1 and
3 watts transmit power. The RT-2000 is designed to be controlled by a C-2000 control
display. Input voltage is 28 volts DC and the keypad is backlit from either 28VDC, 5 VDC or
5 VRMS AC.

The RT-2000 transceiver is designed to be mounted rack mounted. Two connectors, a DB­25 and DB-15 accept all harness wiring on the rear of the RT-2000, while two TNC type RF
connector provides the antenna connection through conventional coaxial cables. For models
containing one transceiver, only one antenna port is provided.

The RT-2000 consists of functional subassemblies interconnected via standard connectors
and ribbon cables. The case of the RT-2000 is designed to be easily disassembled to expose
most subassemblies or circuit modules for service. All adjustments to audio levels can be
made via software and do not require the disassembly of the box. Internal test points are
exposed and available to the service technician without having to remove circuit module
subassemblies or use extender cables or cards.

The RT-2000 is designed to fit into a rack space equivalent with the Wulfsberg RT-9600 with
exception of depth. The RT-2000 is only approximately 7 inches deep vs. the nearly 14 inch
depth of the RT-9600.

Multiple C-2000’s can be used for multi-point control of the RT-2000.
