GENERAL INFORMATION Midian’s SVR-1 is a simplex repeater maker that can be installed into a mobile or portable radio. The SVR-1 detects COR or VOX from an incoming transmission and records the incoming audio (up to 3 minutes). When the COR or VOX is no longer detected the SVR-1 keys the radio and retransmits the recorded audio.
RADIO PROGRAMMING Motorola CDM-750, CDM-1250, GM-140, GM-160, GM-328, GM-338, GM-398, PRO-3100, PRO-5100, PRO- 7100 Programming Instructions It is necessary to program the radio before installing the unit. This is because the Option Board Feature of the radio must be enabled in order to program the unit using the Motorola RIB box and cable or RIB-less cable and to hear confirmation beeps from the radio after programming the unit.

The following step applies to the accessory connector and may be skipped by most users. 3. An accessory pin may be used to control the repeat enable/disable mode. This is useful in remote control applications. To enable this feature, one of the radio accessory pins must be assigned to Option Board 1 (Input) via the CPS programmer.

LTR Programming: 1. In the LS Trunking Personality window, check the Option Board Feature box for each personality. Check the Option Board Feature box for all channels if using a button to control the repeat mode. If doing repeat on a per channel basis, then check Option Board Feature only for repeat enabled channels.

3. If using conventional channels, edit the ‘Conventional Personality Data’. In the “Conventional Personality” window, check the “Option Board Enable” box. Check Option Board Enable for all channels if using a button to control the repeat mode. If doing repeat on a per channel basis, then check Option Board Enable only for repeat enabled channels.
HARDWARE INSTALLATION Be certain to follow standard anti-static procedures when handling any of Midian’s products. Radio Firmware: For the mobile radios listed, it is necessary to have radio firmware version R05.00.00 or higher. If the radio has an older firmware version, it is necessary to upgrade to the newest firmware.

2. The SVR is then mounted into the metal lid of the radio using the option board mounting kit. See pictures below. The mounting kit is ordered from Midian as PRO Option B or from Motorola as RLN4823B. The mounting kit includes the 40-pin flex cable, the mounting frame and 3 mounting screws.
Install the MPS programming software if you have not done so already. The unit is programmed through the radio using the Motorola RIB box and cable or RIBless cable and Midian’s MPS programming software. Start the MPS software. From the product selection screen on the MPS software, locate and select the SVR-1- MPP1/MPM1 and click OK.

Power Up: Enables a short beep sequence that takes place immediately after power-up. Error: This beep will be triggered by any input event which is not programmed. For example, if a long press on the Mode Input is not assigned to a function, it will generate an error beep if a long press is sensed. Mode: When using a switch to enable/disable the SVR, a medium tone followed by a high tone will sound indicating repeat mode is enabled.
Page 15
Power Up In Store/Retransmit Mode: If selected the unit will power up in repeat mode. This box must be selected if doing repeat enable on a per-channel basis. Key-Up Delay: This sets the amount of time the unit waits after keying the base station radio before it starts to retransmit the recorded audio.
Page 16
Short Press: If using a button for mode select, it can be programmed for Store and Retransmit On, Off or On/Off Toggle. This is a press and immediate release. Long Press: If using a button for mode select, it can be programmed for Store and Retransmit On, Off or On/Off Toggle.

Use Accessory Pin for Mode Input (mobile only): If desired the unit can be enabled/disabled using an input from the rear accessory connector of the mobile radio. Use Accessory Pin for Emergency Input (mobile only): Future Use. Please only adjust the parameters of this screen when advised to by Midian.

Beep Volume: Adjust the slider for the desired beep volume. This level is expressed as a percentage of max voice audio level. Over-The-Air-Signal Modulation: Adjust the slider for the desired modulation of tones such as courtesy beep or wake up beeps. This level is expressed as a percentage of max voice audio level. Playback Level: This controls the audio level when a stored voice message is played back on the radio speaker.
HARDWARE ALIGNMENT This section describes how to determine and set the audio levels. Midian has already determined the best audio levels for some models of radios. These levels are on the following page in the tables. If you wish to alter the levels please follow the instructions below.
Page 20
Adjust the slider bar such that the value appearing in the appropriate column matches what was measured as closely as possible. The following table shows Midian’s recommended levels for the SVR at 60% modulation (mVpp) for tested models of radios:...
OPERATION Mode Selection: Mode selection means a method of turning the simplex repeater on and off. In the SVR-1- MPM1 series there are two ways of doing this: Per-Channel Repeat On/Off: To use this feature each channel that is designated as a repeat channel should have the Option Board Feature box enabled in the radio programming software.
However, some features may not be available in the radio when an option board is used. If a feature is not available, please contact Midian to see if the feature can be added.
