  • Page 17: Unpacking And Inspection

    2.1 UNPACKING AND INSPECTION Use care when unpacking your new RAY210 from the shipping carton to prevent damage to the contents. It is also a good practice to save the carton and the interior packing material. The original packing material should be used in the unlikely event that it becomes necessary in the future to return the unit for service.

  • Page 18: Planning The Installation

    2.3 PLANNING THE INSTALLATION When planning the installation for your RAY210, the following conditions should be considered to insure dependable and trouble-free operation. 1) The mounting location should be easily accessible to allow operation of the front panel. 2) There should be adequate ventilation. 3) A sufficient space should be secured behind the transceiver to allow cable connections to the rear panel connectors.

  • Page 21 2.4.1 DC Power and External Speaker Connections The 6 foot long power cable assembly consists of the DC power and the external speaker cable. The DC power cable is composed of RED (+) and BLACK (-) wires, and the external speaker cable has YELLOW (+) and GREEN (-) wires. The RED (+) wire with an in-line fuse (10 amps.) and the BLACK (-) wire of the 4 pin connector cable are used for connecting the RAY210 to the ship's 12 VDC power system.

  • Page 22: External Speaker Connections

    It is recommended that lugs be used to connect the power cable to the DC supply and that lugs should be both crimped and soldered. This is very important in order to insure adequate current draw to the equipment. Intermittent operation may result if an insufficient connection is made to the power source.

  • Page 23: Grounding

    There are several factors to consider in order to maximize the effective communication range of the radio. Since VHF transmissions are essentially Line-of-Sight, mount the antenna at the highest possible location on the vessel and free of obstruction in order to obtain maximum range.

  • Page 24: Introduction

    3.1 INTRODUCTION Your RAY210 has the capability to transmit on 51 and receive on 93 Marine VHF radiotelephone channels. There are channels that are FCC approved but may only be used by authorized stations for specific purposes, depending on the type of vessel (commercial or non-commercial).
  • Page 25 At the time of shipment Press for more than 3 sec Press for more than 6 sec Press for more than 9 sec (n = The Previously Monitored Channel) This key is operative any time and will stop All Scan or Select Scan when pressed.
  • Page 26 If the radio has stopped on a channel, and the operator wants to transmit on that channel, pressing the PTT switch will cancel the scan function and the RAY210 will remain on that channel. If the radio stops on a channel during the scan mode due to a received signal, the operator can cancel the scan function and the RAY210 will remain on that channel.
  • Page 27 If a signal is received on either channel 16 or the selected working station while in the DWX mode, the operator can communicate with the calling party and still remain in this mode. If a weather warning is received on the weather station being monitored, the RAY210 will emit a series of tones.
  • Page 28 13) [SC] (Scan Continue) key: During scanning mode, if a signal breaks squelch on a certain channel, the scanning will stop on that channel. Pressing the Scan Continue [SC] key will resume the scan operation. 14) [SS] (Select Scan) key: Pressing this key puts the radio into the Select Scan Mode, and MEM SCAN will be illuminated on the LCD.
  • Page 29 17) [DIM] (Dimmer) key : The [DIM] key changes backlighting level for the front panel. The backlighting is in the off condition when the RAY210 is first turned on. There are four levels for front panel illumination (high, medium, low, and off), Pressing the [DIM] key one time turns the backlight to its brightest setting (high).

    23) Microphone Speaker On - Off: When [FUNC] key and [M5] key are pressed together for more than 10 seconds, 2 beeps sound and the microphone speaker is turned on / off. This setting remains in memory after power source is cut off. 24) Master Reset: A master reset is performed when power source is turned on while [FUNC] key and [16/9] are pressed simultaneously.
  • Page 32 MEM (Memory): will appear on the LCD display to show the operator that the displayed channel has been programmed into the Select Scan memory. SCAN (All Scan): will appear on the LCD display when the radio is in the All Scan mode.

  • Page 33: Operating Procedure

    3.3 OPERATING PROCEDURES Specific operating procedures for the RAY 210 are presented on this section. General information regarding correct marine channel usage may be found in the Appendix section. Refer to the Controls section 3.2.1 beginning on page!2 for a thorough description of all functions.

  • Page 34: Selecting A Weather Channel

    After 4 minutes of continuous transmit, the RAY 210 will emit two warning tones. If the transmitter remains engaged for an additional minute, or 5 minutes total, the RAY 210 will automatically disable the transmit operation. At this time, the RAY 210 will cease transmitting, emit an alarm, and “ot” will be displayed on the LCD.

  • Page 37 4.1 RECEIVING CIRCUIT OPERATION: 4.1.1 Antenna Switching Circuit: A signal received at the antenna connector J1 goes to the antenna switching circuit composed of pin diode Dl and D2 via the low pass filter. 4.1.2 High Frequency Amplifier Circuit: After being amplified by transistors RF AMP1 (Q21) and RF AMP2 (Q22),the high frequency signal which is sent from the antenna switching circuit goes through BPF to suppress the undesired signals .
  • Page 38 4.1.5 Low Frequency Circuit: The low frequency signal re-modulated by IC307 obtains -6dB/oct characteristic by going through the de-emphasis circuit which contains BUFF (IC13A) and LPF (Q25). Then the signal is input to the low frequency section of CPU AF board.
  • Page 39 4.2.2 High Frequency Power Amplifier Circuit: When the mode turns to be in a state of transmitting by turning the PTT switch of the microphone, frequency of PLL is set up to the transmitting frequency .The range of oscillation frequency of VCO is shifted by this transmitting/receiving shift circuit (Q31).
