Installation of RT-5000 The RT-5000 is designed for horizontal or vertical fixed tray mounting. However, vertical A minimum of 1 inch clearance is required on all mounting results in better cooling.
Page 36: Installation Of Antennas
C-5000 COMMUNICATION MANAGEMENT CONTROLLER INSTALLATION MANUAL Installation of Antennas The antenna should be mounted on the bottom of the aircraft if possible. Unpainted aluminum base must make good electrical contact with airframe. Antenna should be installed on flat surface. A bead of sealant such as Dow Corning RTV-738 should be applied to the outside perimeter of the mounting surface.
Page 37 C-5000 COMMUNICATION MANAGEMENT CONTROLLER INSTALLATION MANUAL Note: For full 29.7-900 MHz frequency coverage, the user must also install the AT-400 antenna for 400-960 frequencies. See the AT-50 and AT-51 envelope drawings, Figures 3-10 and 3-11, for dimensions. Mount antenna with No. 10 screws.

Page 95: Introduction
Wulfsberg transceivers. The C-5000 supports the full line of Wulfsberg FLITECOMM, FLEXCOMM I, and FLEXCOMM II transceivers. This manual is intended to quickly instruct the user on the basic operations of the C-5000 and also outline the advanced operations that set the C-5000 apart from any other communication device.
Page 96 FLITECOMM This product line is no longer manufactured, but remains in wide use. It consisted of the RT-7200, RT-9600, and RT-9600F transceivers. They were available with a two-channel, crystal-controlled, Guard Receiver that could be user-specified for any Guard frequency between 138.000 and 173.9950 MHz (RT-7200) or between 150.000 and 173.9975 MHz (RT-9600/9600F).
Page 97: Steps To Successful Setup And Operation
While we would like to pull products out of the box and immediately start to use them, this system is one that takes a little work to get to that point. The following checklist will help installers and initial users setup the C-5000 and RT-5000.
Page 98: Basic Operation
Front Panel & Controls DISPLAY - The C-5000 has a 2 line display, with 20 characters on each line. It provides the visual feedback for the system. Exactly what is displayed depends on the current operating mode of the C-5000. During normal operation, the top line shows information for transceiver #1 and the bottom line shows information for transceiver #2.
Page 99 C-5000 COMMUNICATION MANAGEMENT CONTROLLER INSTALLATION MANUAL KEYPAD – The C-5000 has a 12 button keypad. Each button’s primary functions are described below. 1:DIR Toggles the transceiver under cursor control in and out of DIRECT mode. Use this button to enter a “1” during keypad entry mode.
Page 100: The Home Page
The Home Page The HOME PAGE is the primary operational page of the C-5000. The HOME PAGE becomes visible when the C- 5000 is ready for user input, immediately after the power up and initialization sequences have completed. The C- 5000 can control two radios.

Page 103: Selecting A Channel By Alphanumeric Identifier
Selecting the Manual Channel The manual channel is used to tune channels not already programmed as presets into the C-5000’s memory. Each radio has its own manual channel. The manual channel is located at channel number 0, and is displayed as “..M”.
Page 104: Using The Direct/Repeat Feature
Receiving/Transmitting Receiving The C-5000 is constantly monitoring its radios for reception. When a signal is received, the C-5000 will light the receive indicator for the receiving radio, and route the audio to the operator’s headset (Assuming the associated intercom switch is selected). The following illustration depicts Radio #1 receiving.

Page 110: Changing Transmit Power
Changing Transmit Power The C-5000 supports the selection of high and low transmit power. Normally high power is used, however, if interference or other transmit issues are experienced, low power may be selected to help remedy the issue. If you have a radio that supports multiple power levels, such as the RT-5000, you can alter the power setting from the EDIT PAGE as follows.

Page 112: Enhanced System Features
Phone Patch Mode The C-5000 can patch into the phone system using both DTMF and pulse dialing. This requires equipment on the ground, such as a transceiver and an interface box, to connect the base station radio to the telephone lines. This is NOT a cellular phone.
Page 113: Relay Operation
Relay Operation Relay Mode allows your aircraft’s C-5000-based transceiver system to function as a cross-band repeater. If a Relay Mode link is established between two locations, a message received from one location is automatically retransmitted to the other.

Page 115: Repeater Operation
INSTALLATION MANUAL Repeater Operation Repeater mode allows the C-5000-based system to act as an airborne repeater, providing a radio link between two ground locations that transmit and receive in the same frequency band. You can establish repeater operation as follows.
Page 116: Encryption Features
Put the cursor on the top or bottom line depending on which radio is to be selected. Press the PVT button to toggle encryption on and off. If the C-5000 has been configured to control an RT-5000 with an encryption module and the preset channel being used has been set up for encryption, the privacy indicator will light.

Page 137: Rss Software Description And Programming
To program the ITM inside the RT-5000 the user must use a DOS based PC (the slower the better!) and Motorola’s RSS software. Users must obtain their own copies of the Software as Wulfsberg cannot supply it. The programming of the ITM requires three basic steps. First, enter the information that has to do with the setup of the way the RT-5000 communicates with the ITM.
Page 138 RT-5000. All that is required is a DB9 female to DB9 Female Cable connected to the serial port of the PC and to the Transceiver programming connector in the aircraft. To start the download, attach the cable, setup the C-5000 for RSS programming (Described elsewhere), and press F2 on this menu.

Page 153 On the C-5000 this special channel is labeled “..M” and is located at channel 0. MODE 1 – Operational mode of the C-5000/RT-5000 system where the operator does not know there is a main and guard located in the transceiver. This simplifies the user interface dramatically. However, only one receiver, the main or the ITM module in the Guard is in operation at one time so only one channel is monitored.
Page 154 RP - Acronym for “Remote Programmer”. Wulfsberg’s software to program the C-5000 with channel information via a connector of the front of the C-5000 is called the RP Software. It is recommended that this method is used whenever possible to program the C-5000 memory. While front panel programming is available for emergencies, using the RP software is less prone to operator errors and automatically provides for memory backup in case on control head failure.
