    Theory of Operation Introduction This section explains the general operation of the ASTRO Spectra/Spectra Plus Consolette. For more detailed information about the ASTRO transceiver, refer to the applicable ASTRO Spectra/Spectra Plus operator’s manual or service manual. Provisions have been made for the connection of voice recorders to the ASTRO Spectra/Spectra Plus Consolette.

    Audio Interface board or optional Tone Remote Control board. The ASTRO Spectra/Spectra Plus control head and speaker are present in all W7 models. W9 Digital Remote Control models do not have a control head or speaker. Refer to the appropriate ASTRO Spectra/Spectra Plus radio user’s guide for information regarding the operation of the control head.
  • Page 43: Audio Interface Board

    General Description The TRN7391C Audio Interface board (AIB) serves as the central interface for all internal and external components of the ASTRO Spectra/Spectra Plus Consolette. All signals are routed through the AIB where processing may occur. Most audio paths incorporate some processing, while most control and data signals are passed unaltered.
  • Page 44 Theory of Operation: Audio Interface Board Speaker audio is available at Accessory Connector 2, pins 14 and 15 (REMOTE_RX+ and REMOTE_RX–, respectively) for use with Digital Remote Control models. Speaker audio level is factory set but can be adjusted using Customer Programming Software.
  • Page 45: Tone Remote Control Board

    Typically, this signal is known as COR (Carrier-Operated Relay). Tone Remote Control NOTE: For the ASTRO Spectra/Spectra Plus Consolette to work Board properly with the Tone Remote Control (TRC) option, several codeplug parameters must be properly set using the ASTRO mobile CPS.

    (This is not needed for FCC Control Point Monitor and can be disabled by S100-2.) When the ASTRO Spectra/Spectra Plus Consolette with the TRC option is being used by both a local and a remote user at the same time, situations arise in which one user has priority over the other.
  • Page 48 Theory of Operation: Tone Remote Control Board contains an MF10 dual switched capacitor filter and a dual op-amp for summing purposes. The notch filter is formed by summing together the high- pass and low-pass outputs of the filter IC. The MF10s on both HY1 and HY2 require a high-frequency clock input that is derived from a divider circuit (U127 and U129) and the MPU “E”...
  • Page 49 Theory of Operation: Tone Remote Control Board The input from the phone line is applied to U112 op amp 1 pin 2, along with the line driver audio-canceling voltage (described previously) via S101-7 and S101-8. The gain of U112 op amp 1 is controlled by FET transistor Q113. The lower the DC gate voltage on Q113, the higher the gain, since a more negative gate voltage tends to turn off the FET, creating maximum feedback resistance across pins 1 and 2 of U112 op amp 1.
  • Page 50 Theory of Operation: Tone Remote Control Board pin 41). The input to this pin is a 0-5V peak-to-peak square wave. The frequency of the square wave depends on the particular guard/function tone being sent. The microprocessor determines which tone is being sent and then takes the corresponding actions.
  • Page 51 Theory of Operation: Tone Remote Control Board On the TRC board, A+ is converted to regulated 9.6V through U100. From this 9.6V source, several comparator voltages are produced. SWB+ is routed to a 5V regulator (U132) on the TRC board, which provides regulated 5V to all of the logic ICs.
  • Page 52: Figure 9. Trc To Acim Cable Diagram

    Theory of Operation: Tone Remote Control Board Smart Modem Protocol The ASTRO Tone Remote Control Board also provides an RS232 port through which the Consolette communicates with an ASTRO Console Interface (SMP) Control Module (ACIM) using the Smart Modem Protocol (SMP). NOTE: For correct operation, the ACIM must be connected to a Gold Series Console programmed with System 3.0 Conventional or later.

    Spectra/Spectra Plus transceiver can be connected to a PC. There are two different methods by which the ASTRO transceivers are connected to the PC, based on whether it is an ASTRO Spectra or ASTRO Spectra Plus model. The ASTRO Spectra transceiver is connected to the PC using a Smart Radio Interface Box (RLN1015).

  • Page 107: A - Appendix A - Cross Patch Configuration

    The Cross Patch provides interoperability between two systems on different bands, analog or digital or trunking. An interface cable can be built to allow the interconnection of two ASTRO Spectra/Spectra Plus Consolette stations to form a repeater system. The information received by Consolette 1 will be retransmitted or repeated by Consolette 2.
  • Page 108: Level Settings

    Consolette 1 receives a signal, it PTTs Consolette 2. This sends an alert tone to Consolette 2's speaker, which then causes Consolette 1 to transmit, etc., causing cyclical keying and unkeying of both Consolettes. To disable the Alert Tones, disable the following fields in ASTRO Spectra or ASTRO Spectra Plus CPS: →...
