NOTE: Customer-specified frequencies which are in the 150-154 MHz range are automatically assigned
to Range 2 by Order Processing unless one of the following options is ordered:
X325 (125W only) Specifies Range 1 Exciter (overrides automatic assignment to Range 2) where the
transmit frequency is between 150 and 154 MHz.
X326 Specifies Range 1 Receiver (overrides automatic assignment to Range 2) where the receive fre
quency is between 150 and 154 MHz.
These options are typically used to ensure that the transmit and receive frequencies are in the required
customer range; this is required for use with a duplexer module.

Product Maintenance
Philosophy
Due to the high percentage of surfacemount components and
multi-layer circuit boards, the maintenance philosophy for this prod
uct is one of Field Replaceable Unit (FRU) substitution. The station is
comprised of selfcontained modules (FRUs) which, when determined
to be faulty, may be quickly and easily replaced with a known good
module to bring the equipment back to normal operation. The faulty
module must then be shipped to the Motorola System Support Center
for further troubleshooting and repair to the component level.
Scope of Manual
This manual is intended for use by experienced technicians familiar
with similar types of equipment. In keeping with the maintenance phi
losophy of Field Replaceable Units (FRU), this manual contains func
tional information sufficient to give service personnel an operational
understanding of all FRU modules, allowing faulty FRU modules to be
identified and replaced with known good FRU replacements.
The information in this manual is current as of the printing date.
Changes which occur after the printing date are incorporated by In
struction Manual Revisions (SMR). These SMRs are added to the man
uals as the engineering changes are incorporated into the equipment.
The following general safety precautions must be observed during all phases of operation, service, and repair of
the equipment described in this manual. The safety precautions listed below represent warnings of certain dangers
of which we are aware. You should follow these warnings and all other safety precautions necessary for the safe
operation of the equipment in your operating environment.
Refer to appropriate section of the product service manual for additional pertinent safety information.
Because of danger of introducing additional hazards, do not install substitute parts or perform any unautho
rized modifications of equipment.
Identify maintenance actions that require two people to perform the repair. Two people are required when:
- A repair has the risk of injury that would require one person to perform first aid or call for emergency
support. An example would be work around high voltage sources. A second person may be required
to remove power and call for emergency aid if an accident occurs to the first person.
NoteUse the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) lifting equation to deter
mine whether a one or two person lift is required when a system component must be removed and re
placed in its rack.
If troubleshooting the equipment while power is applied, be aware of the live circuits.
DO NOT operate the transmitter of any radio unless all RF connectors are secure and all connectors are
properly terminated.
All equipment must be properly grounded in accordance with Motorola Standards and Guideline for Com
munications Sites R56" 68P81089E50 and specified installation instructions for safe operation.
Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation. To ensure reliable operation of the product
and to protect if from overheating, these slots and openings must not be blocked or covered.
Only a qualified technician familiar with similar electronic equipment should service equipment.
Some equipment components can become extremely hot during operation. Turn off all power to the equip
ment and wait until sufficiently cool before touching.
For installations outside of the U.S., consult with the applicable governing body and standards for RF energy human
exposure requirements and take the necessary steps for compliance with local regulations.

1 INTRODUCTION
The Motorola Quantar Station (available in VHF, UHF, 800 MHz and 900 MHz) provides conventional analog,
ASTRO, ASTRO CAI, SECURENET, 6809 Trunking, and IntelliRepeater capabilities in a compact, software-con
trolled design. The station architecture and microprocessor-controlled Station Control Module allow for fast and
reliable expansion and upgrading. FLASH memory in the Station Control Module allows software downloads to
be performed locally (using serial or Ethernet port) or remotely via modem.
Compact Mechanical
Design
The entire Quantar station is housed in a 5 rack-unit-high card cage
weighing only 55 lbs. A single cage may be mounted in a 12" cabinet
(shown in Figure 1) or multiple cages may be mounted in standard
telephone-style equipment racks or various sizes of Motorola cabi
nets.
State-of-the-Art
Electrical Design
Transmitter Circuitry
The station transmitter circuitry is designed for continuous duty opera
tion and may be operated at full-rated power. Output power is continu
ally monitored by an internal calibrated wattmeter. The wattmeter out
put feeds a power control loop which continually adjusts and maintains
the desired output power. All adjustments are electronic, including de
viation and output power.
Receiver Circuitry
The station receive circuitry features multiple bandwidth capability
(12.5, 25, or 30 kHz, depending on band), as well as ASTRO digital op
eration. Injection signals for the 1st and 2nd mixers are generated by
frequency synthesizer circuitry electronically controlled by the Station
Control Module. All receive signals (analog, SECURENET, ASTRO, and
ASTRO CAI) are detected and digitized before being sent to the Station
Control Module, providing improved audio quality consistency
throughout the coverage area.
Station Control Module
The Quantar Station Control Module is microprocessor-based and
features extensive use of ASIC and digital signal processing technolo
gy. The module serves as the main controller for the station, providing
signal processing and operational control for the station modules.
Wireline Circuitry
The station wireline circuitry provides a wide variety of telephone
interfaces, including analog, ASTRO, ASTRO CAI, SECURENET, Tone
Remote Control, DC Remote Control, and WildCard I/O connections.
Telephone line connections are easily made to the wireline circuitry via
connectors on the rear of the station.
Switching Power Supply
The Quantar station features a switching-type power supply which ac
cepts a wide range of ac inputs (90-280 V ac, 47-63 Hz) and gener
ates the necessary dc operating voltages for the station modules. The
power supply continually monitors and adjusts the output voltages,
and requires no external adjustments or calibration.

1 PRE-INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS
A good installation is important to ensure the best possible performance and reliability of the station equipment.
Vital to a good installation is pre-installation planning. Planning the installation includes considering the mounting
location of the equipment in relation to input power, antenna(s), and telephone interfaces. Also to be considered
are site environmental conditions, the particular mounting method (several available), and required tools and
equipment. The following paragraphs provide additional details on these and other pre-installation consider
ations.
Important If this is your first time installing this type of equipment, it is highly recommended that you completely
read the entire Installation section before beginning the actual installation.
Installation Overview
The following information is intended to serve as an overview for install
ing the Quantar station and ancillary equipment. Step-by-step pro
cedures for each of the major tasks are then provided beginning in
paragraph 2.
Plan the installation, paying particular attention to environmental
conditions at the site, ventilation requirements, and grounding
and lightning protection.
Unpack and inspect the equipment
Mechanically install the equipment at the site

Environmental Conditions
at Intended Installation Site
The Quantar station may be installed in any location suitable for elec
tronic communications equipment, provided that the environmental
conditions do not exceed the equipment specifications for tempera
ture, humidity, and air quality. These are:

mounted), the airborne particulates level must not
exceed 90 g/m3.
Equipment Ventilation
Two of the station modules ( the power amplifier and power supply
modules) are equipped with cooling fans (thermostatically controlled)
that are used to provide forced convection cooling. The air flow is front
to back, allowing several station cages to be stacked within a rack or
cabinet. When planning the installation, observe the following ventila
tion guidelines:
Customer-supplied cabinets must be equipped with ventilation
slots or openings in the front (for air entry) and back or side pan
els (for air to exit). If several station cages are installed in a single
cabinet, be sure ventilation openings surround each cage to al
low for adequate cooling.
All cabinets must have at least 6 inches of open space between
the air vents and any walls or other cabinets. This allows ade
quate air flow.
When multiple cabinets (each equipped with several station
cages) are installed in an enclosed area, make sure the ambient
temperature of the room does not exceed the recommended
maximum operating temperature (+60C). It may be necessary
to have air conditioning or other climate control equipment in
stalled to satisfy the environmental requirements.

RF Cabling Connections
Introduction
The transmit and receive antenna rf connections may be made in one
of three fashions, depending on the options ordered with the station
and system application.
Separate TX and RX Connectors A bracket located on the
rear of the station holds two N-type connectors, one for RX and
one for TX. Coax cables from the receive and transmit antennas
must be connected to these N-type connectors.
Single Antenna with Antenna Relay Option An antenna
relay module is mounted on the rear of the station. Coax cables
from the station Receiver and Power Amplifier Modules are con
nected to the antenna relay module. A single N-type connector
is provided for connection to a single RX/TX antenna. The relay
module is controlled by a signal from the Station Control Module
via a 3-wire cable connected between the antenna relay mod
ule and a 3-pin connector located on the backplane.
Duplexer Option The duplexer option equips the station with
a Duplexer Module which is typically mounted in the same rack
or cabinet as the station. Coax cables from the station Receiver
and Power Amplifier Modules are connected to the Duplexer
Module. A single N-type connector is provided for connection
to a single RX/TX antenna.

ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
For Quantar and Quantro
Station and Ancillary Equipment
1 INTRODUCTION
This section provides routine maintenance recommendations for the Quantar and Quantro station and associated
ancillary equipment.
Routine Maintenance
Overview
The Quantar and Quantro station and ancillary equipment have been
designed with state-of-the-art technology and operate under soft
ware control, thus requiring minimal routine maintenance. Virtually all
station operating parameters are monitored and self-corrected by the
Station Control Module, making virtually all periodic adjustments and
tuning unnecessary.
Providing that the equipment is installed in an area which meets the
specified environmental requirements (see Pre-Installation planning
for environmental specifications), the only routine maintenance task
required is the calibration of the station reference oscillator circuit (and
the optional UHSO, if installed). The calibration procedure is provided
in the RSS User's Guide (68P81085E35).
Note: If the station equipment is installed in a particularly dusty envi
ronment, precautions must be taken to filter the air used for forced
cooling of the station. Excessive dust drawn across and into the station
circuit modules by the cooling fans can adversely affect heat dissipa
tion and circuit operation. In such installations, be sure to clean or re
place external filtering devices periodically. Refer to Pre-Installation
Planning in the Installation section of this manual for recommended fil
tering techniques.
2 RECOMMENDED SCHEDULE
The circuit device(s) responsible for determining the station reference frequency exhibit slight variations in their
operating characteristics over time ( infant aging" ). Approximately 90% of the component aging process occurs
during the first year of operation. After the initial one year period, the device(s) remain stable for a substantially
longer period of time. Therefore, it is recommended that the station reference oscillator be calibrated after one
year of operation, and thereafter less often as prescribed in a recommended schedule of periodic calibration.
1.0 PPM
Once yearly
(821-824 MHz Public Safety Band)
Note:0.1 PPM accuracy requires the use of either the UHSO Option
X873AA or an external 5 MHz source. The UHSO option requires both the inter
nal station reference oscillator and the UHSO to be calibrated once yearly us
ing the RSS. When using an external 5 MHz source, the internal station refer
ence oscillator must be calibrated once yearly using the RSS, and the external
source must be calibrated once yearly using the manufacturer's recommended
procedure.

TROUBLESHOOTING
For Quantar Station
and Ancillary Equipment
(VHF, UHF, 800 MHz, and 900 MHz)
1 INTRODUCTION
This section provides troubleshooting recommendations and procedures for the Quantar station and associated
ancillary equipment.
Troubleshooting
Overview
The troubleshooting procedures and supporting diagrams provided in
this section allow the service technician to isolate station faults to the
module/assembly level. Defective modules are then replaced with
known good modules to restore the station to proper operation.
Troubleshooting information includes:
Table defining the function of the various alarm LED indicators
Troubleshooting flow charts
Module replacement procedures
Postrepair procedures for performing alignment following re
placement of defective modules
The following list of test equipment is recommended to perform troubleshooting procedures on the
Quantar station and ancillary equipment.
3 TROUBLESHOOTING PROCEDURES
The troubleshooting and repair philosophy for the Quantar station and ancillary equipment is one of Field Replace
able Unit (FRU) substitution. The station is comprised of selfcontained modules (FRUs) which, when determined
to be faulty, may be replaced with a known good module to quickly bring the station back to normal operation.
The faulty module must then be shipped to a Motorola repair depot for further troubleshooting and repair to the
component level.
Because the Quantar station is computercontrolled and employs stateoftheart digital signal processing tech
niques, many of the troubleshooting procedures require the use of the Motorolasupplied Radio Service Software
(RSS). The RSS is run on a PC (or compatible) with RS232 communication port capability. The RSS allows the
technician to access alarm log files, run diagnostics, and set up the equipment for various audio and rf tests. Com
plete details on the operation of the RSS are provided in the RSS User's Guide (68P81085E35).
Troubleshooting Overview
Introduction
Two procedures are provided for troubleshooting the Quantar station
and ancillary equipment. Each procedure is designed to quickly identi
fy faulty modules, which may then be replaced with known good mod
ules to restore proper station operation.

Troubleshooting
Station modules suspected of being faulty must be replaced with known good modules to restore the station to
proper operation. The following procedures provide instructions for replacing each of the station modules and
performing any required postreplacement adjustments or programming.
General Replacement
Information
Anti-Static Precaution
The station circuitry contains many CMOS and other staticsensitive
devices. When servicing the equipment, you must take precautionary
steps to prevent damage to the modules from static discharge. Com
plete information on prevention of static protection is provided in Moto
rola publication 68P81106E84, available through Motorola National
Parts. Some additional precautions are as follows:
A wrist strap (Motorola Part No. RSX4015A, or equivalent)
should be worn while servicing to minimize static buildup. Ba
WARNING nana jacks are built into the station cage for connection of the
wrist strap.
When wearing Conductive Wrist
Strap, be careful near sources of
high voltage. The good ground
provided by the wrist strap will
also increase the danger of lethal
shock from accidentally touching
high voltage sources.

Care of Gold-Plated Connector Contacts
The connections between the modules and the station backplane
board are made with goldplated card edge connector contacts to pro
vide maximum reliability. Goldplated materials do not form a noncon
ductive oxide layer, and therefore should not require cleaning under
normal conditions.
When the modules have been subjected to many extraction/insertion
cycles, or if the station is operated in a dusty environment, the contacts
may require cleaning. Do not use an eraser or any type of abrasive sub
stance to clean either the module cardedge connectors or the back
plane connector contacts. Any type of abrasive cleaning (typically
employed for cleaning non goldplated contacts) can result in the re
moval of the gold plating or bending of the connector contacts.
If cleaning of the goldplated contacts is required, use a soft cloth
dampened with alcohol to lightly wipe the contacts. Be sure not to
touch the contact surfaces with your fingers, as finger oils and salts can
contaminate the contact surfaces.
Validating Repairs
After replacing a faulty module with a known good module, perform
one of the following tests to validate the repair before leaving the site.

1 DESCRIPTION
The Quantar/Quantro VHF High Band Receiver Modules are described in this section. A general description, identi
fication of controls, indicators, and inputs/outputs, a functional block diagram, and functional theory of operation
are provided. The information provided is sufficient to give service personnel a functional understanding of the
module, allowing maintenance and troubleshooting to the module level. (Refer also to the Maintenance and Trou
bleshooting section of this manual for detailed troubleshooting procedures for all modules in the station.)
General Description
The Receiver Module provides the receiver functions for the Quantar VHF
station. Each receiver module is comprised of a Preselector Filter Assembly
and a Receiver Board, all contained within a slide-in module housing. The
receiver module performs highly selective bandpass filtering and dual down
conversion of the station receive rf signal. A custom receiver IC then performs
an analog to digital conversion of the received signal and outputs a differen
tial data signal to the Station Control Module.
The Models TFD6511/TFD6512 Preselector Filter Assemblies and the
TRD6361/TRD6362 Receiver Boards differ only in the range of opera
tion. Models TFD6511/TRD6361 operate in VHF Range 1
(132-154MHz); Models TFD6512/TRD6362 operate in VHF Range 2
(150-174MHz). Unless otherwise noted, the information provided in
this section applies to all models.
Overview of Circuitry
The receiver module contains the following circuitry:
Frequency Synthesizer Circuitry consisting of a phase-
locked loop and VCO, generates the 1st LO injection signal
Preselector Filter Assembly provides 5-pole bandpass filter
ing of the station receive rf input
Receiver Front End Circuitry performs filtering, amplification,
and the 1st down conversion of the receive rf signal
Custom Receiver IC Circuitry consists of a custom IC which
performs the 2nd down conversion, filtering, amplification, and
analog to digital conversion of the receive signal
Address Decode & A/D Converter Circuitry performs address
decoding to provide board and chip select signals; also con
verts analog status signals to digital format for transfer to Station
Control Module
Local Power Supply Regulation accepts +14.2V dc input and
outputs +10V and +5V dc operating voltages

The following theory of operation describes the operation of the receiver circuitry at a functional level. The informa
tion is presented to give the service technician a basic understanding of the functions performed by the module
in order to facilitate maintenance and troubleshooting to the module level. Refer to Figure 2 for a block diagram
of the receiver module.
Phase-Locked Loop
The phase-locked loop (PLL) IC receives frequency selection data
from the Station Control Module microprocessor. Once programmed,
the PLL IC compares a 2.1 MHz reference signal (from the Station Con
trol Module) with a feedback sample of the VCO output. Depending on
whether the feedback signal is higher or lower in frequency than the 2.1
MHz reference, correction pulses are generated. (The width of these
correction pulses is dependent on the amount of difference between
the 2.1 MHz reference and the VCO feedback.)
The up/down pulses from the PLL IC are fed to a charge pump which
outputs a dc voltage proportional to the pulse widths. This dc voltage
is then low-pass filtered and fed to the VCO as the CONTROL VOLT
AGE. (Note that if a frequency change is requested by the microproces
sor, the low-pass loop filter is momentarily bypassed to accelerate the
frequency change.)
VCO
The dc control voltage from the synthesizer is fed to dual VCOs which
generate the 1st LO injection signal. Within each band (Range 1 and
Range 2), one VCO generates signals in the upper half of the band,
while the other VCO generates signals in the lower half of the band.
Only one VCO is active at a time. Selection of the active VCO is provided
by a BANDSHIFT signal from the PLL IC.
The active VCO responds to the dc control voltage and generates the
appropriate rf signal. This signal is fed through a buffer ampifier and
impedance matching and output to the 1st LO injection amplifier in the
receiver front end circuitry. A sample of the injection signal is returned
to the PLL IC (via a feedback buffer) to serve as a VCO feedback signal.

The following theory of operation describes the operation of the receiver circuitry at a functional level. The informa
tion is presented to give the service technician a basic understanding of the functions performed by the module
in order to facilitate maintenance and troubleshooting to the module level. Refer to Figure 2 for a block diagram
of the receiver module.
Phase-Locked Loop
The phase-locked loop (PLL) IC receives frequency selection data
from the Station Control Module microprocessor. Once programmed,
the PLL IC compares a 2.1 MHz reference signal (from the Station Con
trol Module) with a feedback sample of the VCO output. Depending on
whether the feedback signal is higher or lower in frequency than the 2.1
MHz reference, correction pulses are generated. (The width of these
correction pulses is dependent on the amount of difference between
the 2.1 MHz reference and the VCO feedback.)
The up/down pulses from the PLL IC are fed to a charge pump which
outputs a dc voltage proportional to the pulse widths. This dc voltage
is then low-pass filtered and fed to the VCO as the CONTROL VOLT
AGE. (Note that if a frequency change is requested by the microproces
sor, the low-pass loop filter is momentarily bypassed to accelerate the
frequency change.)
VCO
The dc control voltage from the synthesizer is fed to a VCO which gen
erates the 1st LO injection signal. The VCO responds to the dc control
voltage and generates the appropriate rf signal. This signal is fed
through a buffer amplifier and impedance matching and output to the
1st LO injection amplifier in the receiver front end circuitry. A sample of
the injection signal is returned to the PLL IC (via a feedback buffer) to
serve as a VCO feedback signal.

General Description
The Exciter Board (in conjunction with the Power Amplifier Module)
provides the transmitter functions for the Quantar and Quantro stations.
Contained within a slide-in module housing, the exciter board gener
ates a low-level modulated rf signal which is input to the power amplifi
er module for further amplification and output to the transmit antenna.
These Exciter Boards differ only in the range of operation, as shown in the
title of this section. Unless otherwise noted, the information provided in this
section applies to all models.
Overview of Circuitry
The exciter board contains the following circuitry:
Microprocessor serves as the main controller for the exciter
board; provides control, monitoring of signals, and interfaces
with the Station Control Module microprocessor over a serial
bus
Frequency Synthesizer Circuitry consisting of a phase-
locked loop and VCO, generates a modulated rf signal at the
transmitter carrier frequency
Transmitter Power Control generates a dc control voltage
which controls the output power of the power amplifier module
RF Switch allows the microprocessor to turn on/off the exciter
output signal to the power amplifier module

tion is presented to give the service technician a basic understanding of the functions performed by the module
in order to facilitate maintenance and troubleshooting to the module level. Refer to Figure 2 for a block diagram
of the exciter module.
Phase-Locked Loop
The phase-locked loop (PLL) IC receives frequency selection data
from the microprocessor. Once programmed, the PLL IC compares a
2.1 MHz reference signal (from the Station Control Module) with a feed
back sample of the VCO output. Depending on whether the feedback
signal is higher or lower in frequency than the 2.1 MHz reference, cor
rection pulses are generated. (The width of these correction pulses is
dependent on the amount of difference between the 2.1 MHz reference
and the VCO feedback.)
The up/down pulses from the PLL IC are fed to a charge pump which
outputs a dc voltage proportional to the pulse widths. This dc voltage
is then low-pass filtered and fed to the VCO as the CONTROL VOLT
AGE. (Note that if a frequency change is requested by the microproces
sor, the low-pass loop filter is momentarily bypassed to accelerate the
frequency change.)
VCO
The dc control voltage from the synthesizer is fed to dual VCOs which
generate the rf carrier signal. Within each band (VHF-R1, R2, UHF-
Note:800 MHz and 900 MHz Exciter Mod R1, R2, R3, R4, and 800 MHz), one VCO generates signals in the upper
ules have only one VCO which operates over half of the band, while the other VCO generates signals in the lower half
the entire 900 MHz range. of the band. Only one VCO is active at a time. Selection of the active
VCO is provided by a BANDSHIFT signal from the PLL IC.
The active VCO responds to the dc control voltage and generates the
appropriate rf signal. This signal is fed through impedance matching,
amplification, and filtering and is output to the RF Switch Circuitry. A
sample of the output is returned to the PLL IC to serve as a VCO feed
back signal.

RF Switch Circuitry
The modulated rf signal from the VCO is fed through an attenuator to
an rf switch circuit. Signal TX ENABLE from the microprocessor con
trols the switch. The rf signal is output to a mini-UHF connector
mounted in a recess in the module front cover. An rf cable connects the
exciter output to the power amplifier module.
Microprocessor Circuitry
Introduction
The microprocessor (P) serves as the main controller for the exciter
module circuitry. The P provides the following functions.
EPROM
The P operating program and various algorithms for frequency and
output power control are stored in an EPROM. The P accesses the
EPROM via an address bus and a data bus.
4 68P81086E24-E
9/1/00
Exciter Boards
Microprocessor Circuitry
(Continued)
Output Control Signals
Various output control signals from the P are fed to latches via the
data bus. These signals include PA KEY, TX ENABLE, and the control
signals for the front panel LEDs. Other control signals are provided to
portions of the exciter module circuitry, as well as to the Power Amplifier
Module.
Oscillator Circuitry
The clock signal for the P is generated by internal circuitry and an ex
ternal 8.0000 MHz crystal circuit.
Power Control IC
The Power Control IC generates a dc power control voltage (V_CONT)
which is fed to the power amplifier module to control the output power.
A forward power detect (TX_VF) signal (dc voltage proportional to the
output power from the power amplifier) is fed back to the Power Control
IC. The Power Control IC compares the TX_VF signal with the POWER
SELECT voltages from the A/D converter and adjusts V_CONT accord
ingly to obtain the selected output power. This feedback and control
loop" continually monitors the TX_VF signal and adjusts V_CONT to
maintain a constant output power at the selected level.
Monitoring of Loop Status
A sample of the dc power control voltage (V_CONT) is fed back to the
P via the analog multiplexer to allow the P to monitor the status of the
power control loop. Inability of the power amplifier to output the se
lected power (as indicated by V_CONT going to the maximum level)
results in the P re-programming the A/D converter to select a lower
output power level. If after two reductions in selected power the power
amplifier still cannot output the selected power, the P initiates shut
down" mode by selecting 0 Watts and turning the rf switch OFF.

1 DESCRIPTION
The Models TLD3110 and TLD3101/TLD3102 Power Amplifier Modules are described in this section. A general
description, identification of controls, indicators, and inputs/outputs, functional block diagrams, and functional
theory of operation are provided. The information provided is sufficient to give service personnel a functional un
derstanding of the module, allowing maintenance and troubleshooting to the module level. (Refer also to the Main
tenance and Troubleshooting section of this manual for detailed troubleshooting procedures for all modules in
the station.)
General Description
The Power Amplifier Module (PA) accepts a low-level modulated rf signal
from the Exciter Module and amplifies the signal for transmission via the site
transmit antenna. The output power is continually monitored and regulated
by a feedback and control loop, with a power output control voltage being
generated by the transmitter control circuitry located in the Exciter Module.
The Models TLD3110 and TLD3101/TLD3102 PA Modules are very similar
in design and function, with the major differences being the output power
capabilities and operating frequency range. Unless otherwise noted, the in
formation provided in this section applies to all three models.
Overview of Circuitry
The PA contains the following circuitry:
Intermediate Power Amplifier (IPA) low-level amplifier stage
which is controlled by the transmitter control voltage from the
Exciter Module; provides an output of approximately 0 to 10W
Driver Power Amplifier (DPA) contained in 25W PA only, provides
final amplification of the IPA output; provides an output of 35W maxi
mum
Final Power Amplifier (FPA) contained in 125W PA only, pro
vides final amplification of the IPA output; provides an output of
160W maximum
Circulator provides PA module output isolation
Harmonic Filter/Coupler suppresses harmonic radiation and
couples the PA output to the transmit antenna connector; also
serves as a power meter
Sense and Detect Circuitry provides sense and detect signals
for critical signal points throughout the circuitry; signals are
monitored by the Exciter Module

The following theory of operation describes the operation of the PA circuitry at a functional level. The information
is presented to give the service technician a basic understanding of the functions performed by the module in
order to facilitate maintenance and troubleshooting to the module level. Functional block diagrams are provided
in Figure 2 (TLD3110, 25 W) and Figure 3 (TLD3101/TLD3102, 125 W). As mentioned previously, the four PA mod
ules are similar in design and function. The following theory of operation applies to all four modules except where
noted.
RF Signal Path
A low-level modulated rf signal (approximately +13 dBm) from the Ex
citer module is input to the PA module via a coax cable. The signal is
input to the IPA and amplified to approximately 0 to 10W [depending
on the dc power control voltage (V_CONT) from the Exciter Module].
The IPA output is fed to a DPA (25W) or an FPA (125W), where final am
plification occurs. The output of the DPA (35W maximum) or FPA (160W
maximum) is fed to a circulator, which passes the transmit signal to the
harmonic filter/coupler, while routing all reflected power to a 50 load.
The output of the circulator is fed to the harmonic filter/coupler. This cir
cuit provides highly selective bandpass filtering and couples the signal
to an N-type connector mounted to the module casting. A coax cable
routes the signal to an N-type connector mounted on an rf input/out
put connector bracket located on the rear of the station.

General Description
The Power Amplifier Module (PA) accepts a low-level modulated rf signal
from the Exciter Module and amplifies the signal for transmission via the site
transmit antenna. The output power is continually monitored and regulated
by a feedback and control loop, with a power output control voltage being
generated by the transmitter control circuitry located in the Exciter Module.
These PA Modules are very similar in design and function, with the
major differences being the output power capabilities and operating
frequency range. Unless otherwise noted, the information provided in
this section applies to all three models.

Intermediate Power Amplifier (IPA) low-level amplifier stage
which is controlled by the transmitter control voltage from the
Exciter Module; provides an output of approximately 0 to 15W
Driver Power Amplifier (DPA) contained in 25W PA only, provides
final amplification of the IPA output; provides an output of 35W max.
Final Power Amplifier (FPA) contained in 100/110W PAs only,
provides final amplification of the IPA output; provides an output
of 180W maximum
Circulator provides PA module output isolation

The following theory of operation describes the operation of the PA circuitry at a functional level. The information
is presented to give the service technician a basic understanding of the functions performed by the module in
order to facilitate maintenance and troubleshooting to the module level. Functional block diagrams are provided
in Figure 2 (TLE2731A and TLE2732A, 25 W) and Figure 3 (TTE2061A-63A, 110 W and TTE2064A, 100W). As
mentioned previously, the five PA modules are similar in design and function. The following theory of operation
applies to all four modules except where noted.
RF Signal Path
A low-level modulated rf signal (approximately +13 dBm) from the
Exciter module is input to the PA module via a coax cable. The signal
is input to the IPA and amplified to approximately 0 to 15W [depending
on the dc power control voltage (V_CONT) from the Exciter Module].
The IPA output is fed to a DPA (25W) or an FPA (100/110W), where final
amplification occurs. The output of the DPA (35W maximum) or FPA
(180W maximum) is fed to a circulator, which passes the transmit signal
to the harmonic filter/coupler, while routing all reflected power to a 50
load.
The output of the circulator is fed to the harmonic filter/coupler. This
circuit provides highly selective bandpass filtering and couples the
signal to an N-type connector mounted to the module casting. A coax
cable routes the signal to an N-type connector mounted on an rf
input/output connector bracket located on the rear of the station.

1 DESCRIPTION
The Models TLF1940A/TLF1930A 800 MHz and TLF1800A 900 MHz Power Amplifier Modules are described in this
section. A general description, identification of controls, indicators, and inputs/outputs, functional block diagrams,
and functional theory of operation are provided. The information provided is sufficient to give service personnel
a functional understanding of the module, allowing maintenance and troubleshooting to the module level. (Refer
also to the Maintenance and Troubleshooting section of this manual for detailed troubleshooting procedures for
all modules in the station.)
General Description
The Power Amplifier Module (PA) accepts a low-level modulated rf sig
nal from the Exciter Module and amplifies the signal for transmission
via the site transmit antenna. The output power is continually moni
tored and regulated by a feedback and control loop, with a power out
put control voltage being generated by the transmitter control circuitry
located in the Exciter Module.
The PA Modules described in this section are very similar in design and
function, with the major differences being the output power capabilities
and operating frequency. Unless otherwise noted, the information pro
vided in this section applies to all four models.
Overview of Circuitry
The PA contains the following circuitry:
Intermediate Power Amplifier (IPA) low-level amplifier stage
which is controlled by the transmitter control voltage from the
Exciter Module; provides an output of approximately 0 to 10W
Driver Power Amplifier (DPA) provides amplification (35W
maximum) of the IPA output
Final Power Amplifier (FPA) contained in 100W PA only, pro
vides final amplification of the IPA output; provides an output of
160W maximum
Circulator provides PA module output isolation
Harmonic Filter/Coupler suppresses harmonic radiation and
couples the PA output to the transmit antenna connector; also
serves as a power meter
Sense and Detect Circuitry provides sense and detect signals
for critical signal points throughout the circuitry; signals are
monitored by the Exciter Module
Figure 1 shows the PA controls, indicators, and all input and output external connections.

The following theory of operation describes the operation of the PA circuitry at a functional level. The information
is presented to give the service technician a basic understanding of the functions performed by the module in
order to facilitate maintenance and troubleshooting to the module level. Functional block diagrams are provided
in Figure 2 (TLF1940A, 20 W) and Figure 3 (TLF1800A and TLF1930A, 100 W). As mentioned previously, the four
PA modules are similar in design and function. The following theory of operation applies to all four modules except
where noted.
RF Signal Path
A low-level modulated rf signal (approximately +13 dBm) from the Ex
citer module is input to the PA module via a coax cable. The signal is
input to the IPA and amplified to approximately 0 to 10W [depending
on the dc power control voltage (V_CONT) from the Exciter Module].
On the 20W model, the IPA output is fed to a DPA which provides final
amplification. On the 100W model, the IPA output is fed to a DPA and
then to an FPA which provides final amplification. The output of the DPA
(35W maximum) or FPA (160W maximum) is fed to a circulator, which
passes the transmit signal to the harmonic filter/coupler, while routing
all reflected power to a 50 load.
The output of the circulator is fed to the harmonic filter/coupler. This cir
cuit provides highly selective bandpass filtering and couples the signal
to an N-type connector mounted to the module casting. A coax cable
routes the signal to an N-type connector mounted on an rf input/out
put connector bracket located on the rear of the station.

The following theory of operation describes the operation of the SCM circuitry at a functional level. The information
is presented to give the service technician a basic understanding of the functions performed by the module in
order to facilitate maintenance and troubleshooting to the module level. Refer to Figure 2 for a block diagram of
the SCM.
Host Microprocessor
Overview
The Host Microprocessor (P) serves as the main controller for the
SCM (and station). The P, an MC68EN360 running at a clock speed
of 25 MHz, controls the operation of the station as determined by the
station software (contained in a FLASH SIMM module) and the station
codeplug (EEPROM).
Communications Buses
The Host P provides six general-purpose serial communications
buses, as follows:
SCC1 Used as Ethernet port for highspeed communications,
either to connect to the Ethernet local network of an IntelliRe
peater trunking site or to allow station software to be down
loaded from a local PC into the FLASH memory
SCC2 Used as communications port to allow the station to
connect into the local network of an IntelliRepeater trunking site;
external connections are provided by a 9-pin D-type connec
tor (#19) located on backplane
SCC3 Used as the Interprocessor Communications Bus
(HDLC protocol) to allow the Host P to communicate with the
Wireline Interface Board and other optional modules
SCC4 Used as RS-232 port for connections to external
equipment, such as a modem
SMC1 Used as RS-232 port for RSS communications (9pin
Dtype connector #20 on backplane)
SMC2 Used as RS-232 port for RSS communications (9pin
Dtype connector located on SCM front panel)
Address and Data Buses
The P is equipped with a 28-line address bus used to access the
non-volatile memory, DRAM memory, and provide control (via
memory mapping) for other circuitry in the SCM. A 32-line data bus
(buffered for the non-volatile memory) is used to transfer data to/from
the SCM memory, as well as other SCM circuitry.
SPI Bus
The Host P also controls the SPI bus, a general-purpose communi
cations bus that allows the Host P to communicate with other modules
in the station.

DRAM Controller
The Host P provides signals necessary to access and refresh the
DRAM memory.
Non-Volatile Memory
Station Software FLASH Memory
The station software resides in a FLASH SIMM module (1M x 32 for
CLN6960A, 512k x 32 for CLN6961A). The FLASH SIMM is accessed
by the Host P via the 28-line Host Buffered Address Bus and the
32-line Host Buffered Data Bus.
Codeplug EEPROM
The data which determines the station personality resides in an 8K x 8
codeplug EEPROM. Stations are shipped from the factory with generic
default data programmed into the codeplug EEPROM. Field program
ming is performed during installation using the Radio Service Software
(RSS) program to enter additional customer-specific data, such as
site output power, time-out timer settings, etc.
DRAM Memory
Each SCM contains a DRAM SIMM into which the station software code
is downloaded and run. The DRAM also provides short-term storage
Note: for data generated/required during normal operation. Read and write

Input/Output Ports
Input Ports
Two general-purpose 32-line input ports are provided to allow vari
ous input signals from the SCM and station circuitry to be accepted and
sent to the Host P. The two ports (I/O Port P0 In and I/O Port P1 In) are
each comprised of 32 lines which come from circuitry in the SCM as
well as other modules in the station via the backplane. The buses are
input to buffers which make the data available to the Host P via the
Host Buffered Data Bus. Typical inputs include the pushbutton
switches located on the SCM front panel and the MIC PTT signal from
the handset/microphone.
Output Ports
Two general-purpose 32-line output ports are provided to allow vari
ous control signals from the Host P to be output to the SCM and sta
tion circuitry via the backplane. The two ports (I/O Port P0 Out and I/O
Port P1 Out) are each comprised of 32 lines which come from the Host
Buffered Data Bus via latches. Typical output control signals include
the control lines for the eight LEDs located on the SCM front panel and
the local speaker enable signal.
MRTI Interface
MRTI AUDIO from an external MRTI module is input to the station via
J14 on the station backplane. The signal is routed thru the 6809/MRTI
Interface Circuitry and fed to one input of an 8-to-1 multiplexer. If se
lected, the MRTI TX AUDIO signal is converted to a digital signal by the
A/D portion of the CODEC IC and sent to the DSP ASIC via the Audio
Interface Bus.
MRTI RX AUDIO is output from the DSP to the Local Audio Circuitry via
the Audio Interface Bus. The signal is amplified, filtered, buffered, and
output thru the 6809/MRTI Interface Circuitry to the external MRTI Mod
ule via J14 on the station backplane.

MODEL CLN1614A
1 DESCRIPTION
The Model CLN1614A Station Control Module (SCM) is described in this section. A general description, identifica
tion of controls, indicators, and inputs/outputs, a functional block diagram, and functional theory of operation are
provided. The information provided is sufficient to give service personnel a functional understanding of the mod
ule, allowing maintenance and troubleshooting to the module level. (Refer also to the Maintenance and Trouble
shooting section of this manual for detailed troubleshooting procedures for all modules in the station.)
General Description
The SCM serves as the main controller for the station. Each SCM is
comprised of two circuit boards (Control Board and LED Board), con
tained in a single slidein housing. The two boards are connected via
a multiconductor ribbon cable.
The Control Board contains a 68EN360 microprocessor, a 56002 Digi
tal Signal Processor, and support circuitry which combine to provide
signal processing and operational control over the other station mod
ules. The SCM also contains the station operating software (stored in
FLASH memory) and codeplug which define the personality of the sta
tion, including system capabilities (ASTRO, SECURENET, etc.) and op
erating parameters such as output power and operating frequency.
The CLN1614A SCM provides conventional operation along with MRTI
and 6809 trunking capabilities for use in Quantar and Quantro stations.

Host Microprocessor
Overview
The Host Microprocessor (P) serves as the main controller for the
SCM (and station). The P, an MC68EN360 running at a clock speed
of 25 MHz, controls the operation of the station as determined by the
station software (contained in a FLASH SIMM module) and the station
codeplug (EEPROM).
Communications Buses
The Host P provides five general-purpose serial communications
buses, as follows:
SCC1 Used as Ethernet port for highspeed communications,
either to allow station software to be downloaded from a local PC
into the FLASH memory
SCC3 Used as the Interprocessor Communications Bus
(HDLC protocol) to allow the Host P to communicate with the
Wireline Interface Board and other optional modules
SCC4 Used as RS-232 port for connections to external
equipment, such as a modem
SMC1 Used as RS-232 port for RSS communications (9pin
Dtype connector #20 on backplane)
SMC2 Used as RS-232 port for RSS communications (9pin
Dtype connector located on SCM front panel)
Address and Data Buses
The P is equipped with a 28-line address bus used to access the
non-volatile memory, DRAM memory, and provide control (via
memory mapping) for other circuitry in the SCM. A 32-line data bus
(buffered for the non-volatile memory) is used to transfer data to/from
the SCM memory, as well as other SCM circuitry.
SPI Bus
The Host P also controls the SPI bus, a general-purpose communi
cations bus that allows the Host P to communicate with other modules
in the station.

DRAM Controller
The Host P provides signals necessary to access and refresh the
DRAM memory.
Non-Volatile Memory
Station Software FLASH Memory
The station software resides in a 512k x 32 FLASH SIMM module. The
FLASH SIMM is accessed by the Host P via the 28-line Host Buffered
Address Bus and the 32-line Host Buffered Data Bus.
Codeplug EEPROM
The data which determines the station personality resides in an 8K x 8
codeplug EEPROM. Stations are shipped from the factory with generic
default data programmed into the codeplug EEPROM. Field program
ming is performed during installation using the Radio Service Software
(RSS) program to enter additional customer-specific data, such as
site output power, time-out timer settings, etc.
DRAM Memory
Each SCM contains a 512k x 32 DRAM SIMM into which the station soft
ware code is downloaded and run. The DRAM also provides short-
term storage for data generated/required during normal operation.
Read and write operations are performed using the Host Buffered Ad
dress and Host Buffered Data buses.
The DRAM memory locations are sequentially refreshed by the column
and row signals from the Host P.

Input/Output Ports
Input Ports
Two general-purpose multi-line input ports are provided to allow vari
ous input signals from the SCM and station circuitry to be accepted and
sent to the Host P. The two ports (I/O Port P0 In and I/O Port P1 In) are
comprised of 32 and 24 lines, respectively, which come from circuitry
in the SCM as well as other modules in the station via the backplane.
The buses are input to buffers which make the data available to the
Host P via the Host Buffered Data Bus. Typical inputs include the
pushbutton switches located on the SCM front panel and the MIC PTT
signal from the handset/microphone.
Output Ports
Two general-purpose multi-line output ports are provided to allow
various control signals from the Host P to be output to the SCM and
station circuitry via the backplane. The two ports (I/O Port P0 Out and
I/O Port P1 Out) are comprised of 32 and 8 lines, respectively, which
come from the Host Buffered Data Bus via latches. Typical output con
trol signals include the control lines for the eight LEDs located on the
SCM front panel and the local speaker enable signal.
MRTI Interface
MRTI TX AUDIO from an external MRTI module is input to the station
via J14 on the station backplane. The signal is routed thru the
6809/MRTI Interface Circuitry and fed to one input of an 6-to-1 multi
plexer. If selected, the MRTI TX AUDIO signal is converted to a digital
signal by the A/D portion of the CODEC IC and sent to the DSP ASIC
via the Audio Interface Bus.
MRTI RX AUDIO is output from the DSP to the Local Audio Circuitry via
the Audio Interface Bus. The signal is amplified, filtered, buffered, and
output thru the 6809/MRTI Interface Circuitry to the external MRTI Mod
ule via J14 on the station backplane.

Introduction
As mentioned previously, the WIB serves as the interface between the
customer telephone lines and the station equipment. In general, the
WIB processes and routes all voice and/or data signals between the
station equipment and the landline equipment (e.g., a control center,
modem, etc.).
As shown in the block diagram in Figure 2, the WIB contains a micro
processor with RAM and EPROM, a Peripheral Application Specific IC
(PASIC), one 4-wire audio circuit, and one 2-wire audio circuit. Also
provided are a dc remote decoding circuit, Simulcast processing cir
cuitry, and miscellaneous I/O circuits. All of these circuits are described
in the following paragraphs.
Microprocessor Circuitry
The WIB microprocessor (P) provides overall control of the WIB oper
ation, provides two serial bus links, and communicates with the micro
processor in the Station Control Module.
The WIB operating code and other parameters are stored in two 256k
x 8 FLASH ICs. Short term storage is provided by two 128k x 8 RAM ICs.
The P data bus is connected to each of the PASICs to provide control
and to input and output 12kbps SECURENET data.
Two serial bus links are provided and managed by the P. One of these
is dedicated to interfacing with a plug-in modem card for 9.6kbps
(ASTRO) applications. The other serial link is used to interface with the

(Refer to Figure 2)
Introduction
As mentioned previously, the WIB serves as the interface between the
customer telephone lines and the station equipment. In general, the
WIB processes and routes all voice and/or data signals between the
station equipment and the landline equipment (e.g., a control center,
modem, etc.).
As shown in the block diagram in Figure xx, the WIB contains a micro
processor with RAM and EPROM, two Peripheral Application Specific
ICs (PASIC), two 4-wire audio circuits, and one 2-wire audio circuit.
Also provided are a dc remote decoding circuit, Simulcast processing
circuitry, and miscellaneous I/O circuits. All of these circuits are de
scribed in the following paragraphs.
Microprocessor Circuitry
The WIB microprocessor (P) provides overall control of the WIB oper
ation, provides three serial bus links, and communicates with the mi
croprocessor in the Station Control Module.
The WIB operating code and other parameters are stored in two 256k
x 8 FLASH ICs. Short term storage is provided by two 128k x 8 RAM ICs.
The P data bus is connected to each of the PASICs to provide control
and to input and output 12kbps SECURENET data.
Three serial bus links are provided and managed by the P. Two of
these are dedicated to interfacing with two plug-in modem cards for
9.6kbps (ASTRO) applications. The other serial link is used to interface
with the microprocessor in the Station Control Module using HDLC pro
tocol.

ply which generates a +5 V dc supply voltage. This voltage is used as
the +5 V supply voltage for the station modules (via the backplane).
Protection Circuitry
An overvoltage detect circuit monitors the output voltage and, if preset
thresholds are exceeded, turns on a FET crowbar circuit which im
mediately discharges the output to protect other modules in the sta
tion.
An overcurrent detect circuit monitors the current draw from the +5V
Supply Circuitry and, if a preset threshold is exceeded, generates a
MAIN_SD_SEC signal which shuts down the entire power supply mod
ule.

1 DESCRIPTION
The Models CPN1047A/CPN1048A Power Supply Modules are described in this section. A general description,
performance specifications, identification of controls, indicators, and inputs/outputs, a functional block diagram,
and functional theory of operation are provided. The information provided is sufficient to give service personnel
a functional understanding of the module, allowing maintenance and troubleshooting to the module level. (Refer
also to the Maintenance and Troubleshooting section of this manual for detailed troubleshooting procedures for
all modules in the station.)
General Description
The Models CPN1047A/CPN1048A Power Supply Modules each ac
cept an ac input (90-264 V ac, 47-63 Hz) and generate +28.6V dc,
+14.2V dc, and +5.1V dc operating voltages to power the station mod
ules. Each power supply module is comprised of three circuit boards
which provide several switchingtype power supply circuits, power fac
tor correction circuitry, battery charger/revert circuitry (CPN1048A
only), and diagnostics and monitoring circuitry, all contained within a
slidein module housing.
The power supply module provides the following features:
Autoranging for input voltage and frequency circuitry
automatically adjusts for input ranges of 90-264 V ac and
47-63 Hz; no jumpers, switches, or other settings are required
Input transient and EMI protection MOV, gas discharge,
and filter devices protect the power supply circuitry from ac line
voltage transients and electromagnetic interference
Internal voltage and current limiting circuitry continually
monitors critical voltages and currents and shuts supply down
if preset thresholds are exceeded
Temperature protection module contains builtin cooling
fan; supply shuts down if temperature exceeds preset threshold
Diagnostic monitoring critical internal parameters are con
tinually monitored and reported to the Station Control Module,
which can automatically provide correction for certain operating
conditions

General Description
(continued)
Fan Failure Protection Power Supply enters shutdown
mode in event of cooling fan failure
Battery Reverse Polarity Protection Charger circuitry is pro
tected against connecting the external battery in reverse polarity
(CPN1048 only)
Auto Switchover to/from Battery If AC input fails, station is
automatically switched over to battery operation; when AC input
is restored, station is automatically switched back to power sup
ply operation (CPN1048 only)
Auto Recovery from Shutdown Power Supply automatically
recovers from shutdown mode if the cause of the shutdown no
longer exists
SoftwareControlled Battery Charging Voltage The battery
charging voltage and current is controlled based on the ambient
temperature (CPN1048 only)
Limited InRush Current Circuitry limits inrush current to
less than 30 A in all conditions

+5 V Inverter Circuitry
Overview
The +5 V inverter circuitry is comprised of a switching-type power
supply which generates a +5 V dc supply voltage. This voltage is used
as the +5 V supply voltage for the satellite receiver or station modules
(via the backplane).
Protection Circuitry
An overvoltage detect circuit monitors the output voltage and, if preset
thresholds are exceeded, generates a shutdown signal which is fed to
the softstart circuitry to shutdown the main inverter. Upon an overvol
tage detection, a FET crowbar circuit immediately discharges the out
put to protect other modules in the satellite receiver or station.
An overcurrent detect circuit monitors the current draw from the +5 V
inverter circuit and, if a preset threshold is exceeded, shuts down the
+5 V inverter. If the overcurrent condition lasts for a preset length (ap
prox. 50 msec), the surge current delay circuit generates a shutdown
signal which is fed to the softstart circuitry to shutdown the main invert
er.

Protection Circuitry
Peak/Average Current Limiting Circuitry The peak current limiting
circuitry accepts an output current feedback signal and a scaled
+28V_RAW reference signal to control the PWMs. This effectively
maintains a constant output voltage for varying output current de
mands.
The average current limiting circuitry monitors the +28 V dc output and
generates a shutdown signal (PRI_SHUTDOWN) if the average output
current reaches a predetermined limit.
Overvoltage Protection Circuitry This circuitry monitors the
+28V_RAW voltage and generates a shutdown signal
(PRI_SHUT_SEC) to shut down the entire power supply module if the
+28 V output voltage exceeds a preset threshold.
8 68P81096E84-O
9/1/00
CPN1031B Power Supply Module
Protection Circuitry
An overvoltage detect circuit monitors the output voltage and, if preset
thresholds are exceeded, turns on a FET crowbar circuit which immedi
ately discharges the output to protect other modules in the station.
An overcurrent detect circuit monitors the current draw from the +14V
Supply Circuitry and, if a preset threshold is exceeded, generates a
PRI_SHUT_SEC signal which shuts down the entire power supply
module.
+5 V Supply Circuitry
The +5 V Supply Circuitry operates identically to the +14 V Supply Cir
cuitry (described above) to generate a +5.1 V dc supply voltage. This
voltage is used as the +5 V supply voltage for the station modules (via
the backplane).

Overview
The diagnostics circuitry consists of an 11channel A/D converter
which converts analog status signals from critical points in the power

Shutdown Delay Circuitry
Upon receiving a shutdown signal (PRI_SHUTDOWN) from the +28V
Main Supply Circuitry, this circuit passes the signal through the Soft
Start Circuitry for a 1 second interval to allow the entire power supply
module to shutdown. The module then restarts (if the on/off switch is
in On position). If the PRI_SHUTDOWN signal is still active, the shut
down process will repeat.

STATION BACKPLANE BOARD
MODEL TRN7480A
1 DESCRIPTION
The TRN7480A Station Backplane Board provides the electrical interconnections for the plug-in modules of a
Quantar station. The board also provides the connectors necessary to interface the station to phone lines, periph
eral rf equipment, and other communications and maintenance equipment. This section provides a general de
scription, identification of inputs/outputs, and a pin-out listing for all interface connectors, including information
on signal names, functions, and levels.
General Description
The station backplane board (mounted across the rear of the Quantar
station card cage) is constructed with connectors on both sides. The
connectors on one side mate with the various station plug-in mod
ules; the connectors on the other side allow interface connections be
tween the station and the phone lines, peripheral rf equipment, and
other communications and maintenance equipment.
A metal shield mounts over the rear of the backplane board to provide
protection for the circuit board runners and connector solder pads,
ESD protection, and EMI/RFI shielding, as shown in Figure 1. This
shield also provides a mounting location for the antenna connector
bracket and the station grounding lug.

Each connector on the backplane has been assigned a connector number. In some cases, the connector number
is stamped into the metal shield covering the rear of the backplane board. The connectors which accept the plug-
in modules are not marked. Table 1 lists each connector and its assigned number.
Figure 2 provides pin-out information for all connectors located on the rear of the backplane board. As shown,
each connector pin is defined by signal name, input or output (with reference to connector), to/from location, and
a brief description of the signal function. Note that pin-out information for any connectors intended for future
applications is not shown. Also, note that in the To/From" column the source or destination of the signal is given
as a connector number followed by a pin number. The first number (preceded by a #") represents the assigned
connector number, followed by the specific connector pin number.

TRIPLE CIRCULATOR OPTION
(Options X676AA-AC)
1 DESCRIPTION
Options X676AA-AC provide band-specific dual circulator assemblies and low pass filters for use with Quantar
VHF station. The triple circulator option is comprised of the dual circulator assembly combined with the single
circulator located in the station power amplifier module. This combination provides 65 dB (min) of isolation be
tween the Power Amplifier Module and the transmit antenna. A low pass filter connects between the dual circulator
output and the transmit antenna.
This section provides a general description, option matrix chart, identification of inputs/outputs, and functional
theory of operation. The information provided is sufficient to give service personnel a functional understanding
of the module, allowing maintenance and troubleshooting to the module level. (Refer also to the Maintenance and
Troubleshooting section of this manual for detailed troubleshooting procedures for all modules in the station.)
General Description
The dual circulator assembly consists of two rf circulators and a 50
load with heat sink, all mounted on a 3/16 " aluminum plate which is
housed in the Peripheral Tray. The tray is equipped with a cooling fan
which directs air across the fins of the heat sink. The rf output from the
Power Amplifier Module connects to the input of the assembly, while
the output connects to an external low pass filter. The output of the filter
connects to the transmit antenna (directly, via antenna relay module,
or via duplexer).
Table 1 shows the applications and contents for the available triple circulator options for Quantar VHF station.

The following theory of operation describes the operation of the Dual Circulator Assembly and Low Pass Filter at
a functional level. The information is presented to give the service technician a basic understanding of the func
tions performed by the module in order to facilitate maintenance and troubleshooting to the module level. Refer
to Figure 2 for a block and interconnect diagram of the Dual Circulator Assembly and Low Pass Filter.
Functional Operation
Note:The Triple Circulator Option is typi The Dual Circulator Assembly accepts transmit rf output power from
cally used in high density radio site applica the power amplifier module and provides 45 dB (minimum) of isolation
tions where other co-located transmitters between the power amplifier module and the transmit antenna. The as
near the frequency of the station can cause
I.M. products. The addition of the dual circu sembly consists of two circulators, each with a 50 load. Each circula
lator improves I.M. from >30dBI to >75 dBI . tor allows forward rf energy to pass through to the output, while routing
The low pass filter reduces spurious emis any reflected rf energy to the corresponding 50 load. Refer to the
sions to 90 dBc. block diagram shown in Figure 2.
Most of the reflected energy is absorbed by the 50 load (heat sink
mounted) connected to the second circulator. A thermistor mounted on
the heat sink provides a variable resistance signal proportional to the
heat sink temperature. This signal is routed to the Station Control Mod
ule via the Peripheral Tray cabling harness. If the heat sink temperature
exceeds a preset threshold, the Station Control Module enables PA
cutback mode. If the overtemperature condition persists, the power
amplifier is shut down completely.

1 DESCRIPTION
Options X676AN and X676AP provide a dual circulator assembly and low pass filter for use with the Quantar UHF
station. The triple circulator option is comprised of the dual circulator assembly combined with the single circulator
located in the station power amplifier module. This combination provides 65 dB (min) of isolation between the
Power Amplifier Module and the transmit antenna. A low pass filter connects between the dual circulator output
and the transmit antenna.
This section provides a general description, option matrix chart, identification of inputs/outputs, and functional
theory of operation. The information provided is sufficient to give service personnel a functional understanding
of the module, allowing maintenance and troubleshooting to the module level. (Refer also to the Maintenance and
Troubleshooting section of this manual for detailed troubleshooting procedures for all modules in the station.)
General Description
The dual circulator assembly consists of a double rf circulator and a
50 load with heat sink, all mounted on a 3/16 " aluminum plate which
is housed in the Peripheral Tray. The tray is equipped with a cooling fan
which directs air across the fins of the heat sink. The rf output from the
Power Amplifier Module connects to the input of the assembly, while
the output connects to an external low pass filter. The output of the filter
connects to the transmit antenna (directly, via antenna relay module,
or via duplexer).

X182AJ (158-174 MHz)
1 DESCRIPTION
Options 182AA/AB/AJ provide band-dependent duplexer modules for use with Quantar VHF stations. This sec
tion provides a general description, identification of adjustments and inputs/outputs, performance specifications,
and a typical mounting location detail. While the duplexer module is considered non-repairable, tuning screws
are provided for field tuning should replacement become necessary due to module failure, or if retuning is neces
sary due to a change in operating channels. A single channel field tuning procedure is provided in this section.
General Description
The duplexer module (shown in Figure 1) allows a transmit and re
ceive channel pair to share a common TX/RX antenna. Each duplexer
module consists of six resonant cavities (three for transmit and three
for receive) contained in a temperature-compensated copper enclo
sure designed to mount in a standard EIA 19" equipment rack.
Each set of three cavities is designed and tuned to pass the respective
transmit or receive channel frequency (or bandwidths) while providing
maximum TX noise suppression at the RX frequency and maximum RX
isolation at the TX frequency.
Figure 2 shows the location of the adjustment screws and input and output rf connectors for the duplexer module.

Duplexer modules shipped with stations are tuned at the factory. If a duplexer must be replaced in the field, the
unit must be installed and tuned specifically to the transmit and receive frequency pair for the particular station.
Field Tuning
Overview
The duplexer module is comprised of three low-pass/high-notch ca
vities and three high-pass/low-notch cavities. Each set of three cavi
ties provides bandpass filtering for either the transmit rf signal or the
receive rf signal. In general, the duplexer must be tuned so that the
transmit cavity set passes the transmit signal and rejects the receive
Note:This tuning procedure is valid for chan signal; concurrently, the receive cavity set must be tuned to pass the
nels with a bandwidth of 200 kHz or less. If receive signal and reject the transmit signal.
bandwidth is more than 200 kHz, the duplexer
must be tuned by the service depot. Tuning is performed by injecting rf signals and making tuning adjust
ments (using the tuning rods and trimmer screws) while monitoring for
maximum or minimum readings on the rf millivoltmeter. Field tuning the
duplexer module requires the following general adjustments:
Tune high-pass/low-notch cavities for maximum pass and re
ject response
Tune low-pass/high-notch cavities for maximum pass and re
ject response
Check high-pass/low-notch and low-pass/high-notch cavi
ties for insertion loss

TX (935-941 MHz)
1 DESCRIPTION
Options X182AG and X182AH provide a duplexer module for use with Quantar 800 MHz and 900 MHz stations,
respectively. This section provides a general description, identification of inputs/outputs, performance specifica
tions, and a typical mounting location detail. The duplexer module is considered non-repairable and requires
no field tuning.
General Description
The duplexer module (shown in Figure 1) allows a transmit and re
ceive channel pair to share a common TX/RX antenna. Each duplexer
module consists of ten resonant cavities (five for transmit and five for
receive) contained in a temperature-compensated copper enclosure
designed to mount in a standard EIA 19" equipment rack.
Each set of five cavities is designed and tuned to pass the respective
transmit or receive channel frequency (or bandwidths) while providing
maximum TX noise suppression at the RX frequency and maximum RX
isolation at the TX frequency.

The following theory of operation describes the operation of the UHSO Module circuitry at a functional level. The
information is presented to give the service technician a basic understanding of the functions performed by the
module in order to facilitate maintenance and troubleshooting to the module level. Refer to the block diagram
shown in Figure 2.
Control Circuitry
The control circuitry accepts 12 bits of data from the Station Control Module
(via the SPI bus) and outputs a corresponding dc voltage. This voltage is
scaled and buffered and output as a dc steering voltage which controls the
frequency output of the 5 MHz oscillator. [Note that this is not a closed feed
back loop system. The 12 bits are sent only during station power up and
when performing the reference oscillator calibration procedure (using the
RSS).]
The dc steering voltage is also scaled and buffered to provide a steer
ing voltage sample which is fed to one of the A/D converter inputs (p/o
Diagnostics Circuitry).

Diagnostics Circuitry
Various dc voltages and sample signals are input to an A/D converter
which converts the signals to a binary representation. The data is then
sent to the Station Control Module (via the SPI bus) for monitoring and
diagnostics purposes.

RA/RT CONFIGURATION
(E & M KEYING)
For Quantar and Quantro Stations
1 OVERVIEW
The RA/RT (E & M keying) configuration allows a Quantar/Quantro station to be controlled by a remote console
using either a radio link or a microwave link in place of the usual wireline link. This configuration is typically used
in cases where the station is located in a relatively inaccessible location (such as a mountain top) where running
phone lines is either impractical or impossible.
As shown in Figure 1A, a pair of stations (called station 1 and station 2) is used to substitute for the normal wireline
connections between the repeater station and the console. Figure 1B shows a microwave RA/RT link.

MAIN/STANDBY
CONFIGURATION
For Quantar and Quantro Stations
1 OVERVIEW
The Main/Standby configuration allows two Quantar/Quantro stations to operate as a redundant pair. If the Main
station should fail (due to hardware or software malfunction), the Standby station will immediately take over and
provide service. Each station's operating mode (Main or Standby) is determined by a setting made using the Radio
Service Software (RSS).
Please note the following requirements/restrictions that are applicable to the Main/Standby feature:
Main/Standby feature is compatible with stations in Conventional systems only
Main/Standby feature is not compatible with ASTRO signaling
The station must be equipped with an 8-wire Wireline Interface Module and the Enhanced Wildcard Option
2 ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
Install both stations (designating one as A and the other as B) as described in the appropriate functional base
station manual. Make the wiring connections as shown in Figure 2 to allow Main/Standby operation.
HintWiring connections between the two stations and with external equipment will be facilitated by using a
standard telephone punch block. Figure 1 shows how to connect the stations and punch block.

FAST KEYUP FEATURE
For Quantar and Quantro Stations
1 OVERVIEW
The Fast Keyup Feature allows Quantar and Quantro stations to be keyed up by an external device (such as a Data
Controller) in approximately 12 milliseconds (Quantar VHF and Quantro UHF) or 10 milliseconds (all other
stations). Note that normal keyup time using the station's PTT input is approximately 50 msecs.
In order to implement this feature, three signals (TX Audio, RX Audio, and PTT) must be connected between the
station and the external device. Also, an RSS parameter setting must be made to properly configure the feature's
operation. This manual provides stepbystep instructions for performing these tasks.
Note The Fast Keyup Feature applies only to nonSimulcast, Analog Conventional stations.
2 ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
As shown in Figure 1, the following signals must be connected properly between the station and the external
device:
PTT
TX Audio
RX Audio
Additionally, there are two possible connection configurations Direct Connection and Splatter Filter
Connection. The Direct Connection configuration is chosen when the external device provides the required
splatter filtering of the TX Audio signal. The Splatter Filter Connection configuration is chosen when the station's
internal splatter filter is to be utilized (no splatter filtering provided by the external device).
The following procedures describe how to make the signal connections for each type of connection configuration.

DUAL CONTROL
OF GATED ACCESS
VIA TRC AND SAM
For Quantar and Quantro Stations
Servicing MCS Users
1 OVERVIEW
This section describes how to program the station (Quantar or Quantro) and the Station Access Module (SAM)
to allow two functions (repeater setup/knockdown and gated access" to be controlled (toggled on and off) by
both of the following methods:
Console Operator using TRC tones
Subscriber Unit using DTMF or MDC 1200 signaling transmitted over the air
By utilizing the MCS Feature and controlling the repeater setup/knockdown and gated access" functions, an
effective Mutual Aid" talk group configuration can be created. In this configuration, subscribers within a specific
coverage area (local subscribers) are assigned a primary" PL and have their MCS User Access field set to
ENABLED. These subscribers will repeat as normal (assuming station is toggled to repeater setup" mode).
Should emergency conditions require other subscribers outside of the local area to enter the communications
area, these subscribers will be able to communicate with each other (as well as local users) via the same local
repeater if they have been assigned with a secondary" PL and have their MCS User Access set to GATED.
Additionally, the repeat mode (setup or knocked down) and gated access mode (enabled or disabled) may be
controlled by both a console operator or a subscriber unit. (Note that Gated User Access is disabled upon station
reset. Gated Access must be enabled via overtheair transmissions to the SAM module, or via TRC tones from
the console.)
The following table shows how the repeater access and gated access" functions may be controlled to provide
access to local and visiting subscribers. Refer also to Figure 1 (showing a typical repeater access call flow chart
before Gated Access is employed), and Figure 2 (showing a repeater access call flow chart after Gated Access
is incorporated).
Gated Repeater

Access Up/Down
Local subscribers (primary PL) will repeat.
Enabled Up Emergency subscribers (secondary PL and MCS User Access set to
GATED) will repeat.
Enabled Down No subscribers will repeat.
Disabled Up Only local subscribers (primary PL) will repeat.
Disabled Down No subscribers will repeat.
In order to perform the procedures in this section, you must program certain parameters in the Quantar or Quantro
station and the Station Access Module (SAM). In order to do this, you will need the following software programs:
RVN5002 Quantar/Quantro Radio Service Software (RSS) Version R09.05.00 or higher)

NoteWhen the WildCard option is purchased (required to configure inputs/outputs for connection to an external
controllers) and is then enabled (via the RSS), the predefined functionality of the signals on System Connector J17
as shown in the Backplane section of this manual (e.g., J17Pin 22 is Ext PTT +, J17Pin 11 is Ext Failsoft, etc.)
is lost.
In order to restore the predefined signals, you must press F4 (SET TO DEFAULT) on any of the WildCard RSS
screens. Doing so automatically creates a set of WildCard Tables that now determine J17's signal functionality. The
Editing WildCard Tables section (page 8) may now be used to change the signal functionality, as desired.

Notes
1)The default WildCard Tables define pins 18 and 43 as Carrier Indication + and -. These
pins provide a relay contact closure output. If desired, the WildCard Tables may be modified to
provide the Carrier Indication signal on pin 38 as a transistor buffered output. See Editing
WildCard Tables on page 7 for details.
2)The default WildCard Tables define pins 22 and 47 as PTT + and -. These pins provide
an optocoupled input. If desired, the WildCard Tables may be modified to provide the PTT
signal on pin 42 as a transistor buffered input. See Editing WildCard Tables on page 7 for
details.
3)Stations shipped from the factory are programmed with no signal at pin 30. In order to
program this pin for Aux RX Audio, refer to Editing WildCard Tables on page 7.
4)Stations shipped from the factory are programmed with no signal at pin 5. Depending on
the application, this pin may be programmed for AUXPL Audio or Aux TX Audio In order to
program this pin for AUXPL Audio or Aux TX Audio, refer to Editing WildCard Tables on page 7.

3 ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS
This section provides the electrical characteristics, frequency response curves, and other interface details for the
primary interface signals.
Line 1 + and Line 1 - provide a balanced phone line input for incoming
audio signals to the station. The input impedance is set by jumpers lo
cated on the Wireline Interface Board. The jumpers are set at the facto
ry for 600 impedance. You may change the impedance (if desired)
by changing the jumpers as described in the appropriate (4wire or
8wire) Wireline Interface Board section in this manual.
