DESCRIPTION INSTALLATION DESCRIPTION General Correct installation of the DSC 9000 is important for maximum performance and reliability. This chapter provides specific information about the installation of each unit, their interconnection and connection to other equipment. Mounting the Units DCU 9000 Control Unit The DCU 9000 control unit is adaptable to a variety of mounting methods and should be placed with convenient operation in mind.
24V, or 32V battery or from an AC Power Supply Unit with a DC output voltage within the specified range. When used with a Skanti TRP 7000 or TRP 8000 transceiver the AC Power Supply Unit of the transceiver is capable of supplying the additional power required by the DSC 9000.
3-33. Otherwise a 9-pole D-sub connector is used at this end as well. Prepared 5x2x0.25mmSq screened cable with 9-pole D-sub connector at each end may be obtained from Skanti in 3m and 10m lengths: 3m: Part number 106 803 61 10m: Part number 106 803 51 Up to 5 control units may be connected to the DU 9000.
See table 5 at page 3-37 for pin assignments and fig 24 at page 3-36 for connector and cable specifications. The installation wiring diagram on page 3-45 details the connections for Skanti transceivers TRP 7000 and TRP 8000. Note: Telex filter is necessary in TRP 7000/8000...
The AF output level from the DSC 9000 for transmitter modulation is factory preset to 0 dBm which matches Skanti transceivers TRP 7000 and TRP 8000. Adjustment, where required, is possible over the range -10 dBm to +10 dBm by trimpot R8, located on PCB 717, see fig. 31 at page 3-47.
INSTALLATION DESCRIPTION Connection of Navigation Equipment Navigation equipment complying with the NMEA 0183 standard may be connected for automatic position updating. Connection is made either to the DU 9000 or to a DCU 9000 control unit but, only one navigation input can be used. The DSC 9000 automatically recognizes which input is used. For connection to the DU 9000 use the 25 pole D-sub connector marked Aux.

PCB 717 JUMPER AND ADJUSTMENT LOCATIONS INSTALLATION PCB 717 JUMPER AND ADJUSTMENT LOCATIONS Fig.31 Trimpot R8 AF output level. For adjustment of signal level on Tx Line. Factory setting: 0 dBm. Jumper J1 Input impedance. When On the input impedance of Rx Line is 600 ohms. When Off the input impedance is high.
INSTALLATION INSTALLATION CONFIGURATION INSTALLATION CONFIGURATION The DSC 9000 is factory configured to standard settings, stored in a non-volatile EEPROM. Change of these settings is possible from the front panel of the DCU 9000. To view or change configuration settings, switch the equipment on, press [Main Menu], select CONFIGURATION and press [Enter].
INSTALLATION CONFIGURATION INSTALLATION Configuration of Radio Interface The DSC 9000 may be configured for different protocols for control of the associated radio equipment: T+Bus (default) T+Bus, one way NMEA Baudrate 2400 bps for T+Bus and 4800 bps for NMEA is implicitly selected. Following NMEA sentences are used to set frequency, mode of operation and transmitter power level of the radio equipment.
INSTALLATION INSTALLATION CONFIGURATION The handset hook signal is utilized as follows: When the receiver of the radiotelephone is used for scanning controlled from the DSC 9000 or radiotelex equipment, scanning is interrupted while the handset is off-hook. At the same time automatic DSC acknowledgement transmissions are disabled.
INSTALLATION CONFIGURATION INSTALLATION and press [Enter]. Select between Baud rates of 300, 600, 1200, 2400, 4800*, or 9600 and press [Enter]. Select between Parity/data bits None/7, None/8*, Even/7, Even/8, Odd/7, or Odd/8 and press [Enter]. Select between handshake types Xon/xoff, Busy High, Busy Low, None* and press [Enter].
INSTALLATION INSTALLATION CONFIGURATION Configuration of Messages It is possible to select between the full set of telecommands or a reduced set. The reduced set may be selected where it is desirable to avoid unintended use of the telecommands. Full set of telecommands: Polling Unable to comply -Congestion...

PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE SERVICE PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE Realignment of Master Oscillator 713 (DSC 9006 only) The Master Oscillator frequency should be checked at least once a year. The Master Oscillator determines the exact receive frequency of the equipment. The oscillator tends to age very slowly with time, typically with the highest drift rate the first year.

Read the manufacturing date on the battery. If life time is due to expire, replace the complete battery container. Skanti part number 107 811 60. Push the battery container back into its compartment and connect the battery plug. The DSC 9000 may now be turned off without loosing memory content.
SELF-TEST SERVICE SELF-TEST The Self-test menu is selected by pressing: >TEST< >SELF-TEST< Automatic self-test is performed to check all test-steps in the self-test. It will stop if a test-step fails or all tests are completed. If a test-step fails the test will stop and display the failing test-step number, the failing part of the DSC, the possible cause of failure and an error code.
