In addition, Pin 17 from each P501 connector must go to a switch that grounds one or the other Pin 17. When the C-5000 sees a ground on Pin 17 of its P501 connector, it gives up control of the RT-5000 to the other C-5000. The display of the control head without control will indicate "NO CONTROL"...
Page 49
If an operator wants to control RT-5000 #1 with C-5000 #1, they put the Take_Control switch for radio #1 in the position that grounds pin 17 of P501 on C-5000 #2. At this point, C-5000 #2 gives up control of RT-5000 #1 and displays "NO CONTROL" on the top line of its display.
Page 50
C-5000 COMMUNICATION MANAGEMENT CONTROLLER INSTALLATION MANUAL All the above boils down to the following: To use RT-5000 #1, put the "Take_Control" switch in the position so the operators control head shows the status of RT-5000 #1. To transmit, put the audio panel on FM1. Do the same for transceiver #2 except use Take_Control switch for RT-5000 #2 and then select FM2 on the audio panel.

Perform Step 6 for all Transceivers in the system. This will verify that all radios are connected, powered up, and able to send audio to the control head. NOTE: If the C-5000 does not allow the input of the specific RT-5000 part number, use the table on the following page for alternative input options.
Page 67
Select Transceiver #1 using the audio panel and attempt to transmit to a known good receiver (Both the transmitter and the receiver must be using the same frequency). Press the aircraft PTT switch and verify that the C-5000 display shows a transmit condition and that the receiver detects a valid voice signal.

SECTION 7 - SYSTEM CHECKOUT General This section contains a system checkout procedure to verify the operation of the C-5000 and transceiver installation. The following procedures are intended to provide sufficient exercising of the system configuration to assure that system parameter selection/control and transmit/receive functions are operating properly.
Page 71
C-5000 COMMUNICATION MANAGEMENT CONTROLLER INSTALLATION MANUAL The C-5000 can control up to two radio systems composed of various Wulfsberg radios. It is the responsibility of the installer to understand the capabilities of the individual transceivers and associated antenna systems. The C-5000 must be programmed with configuration information BEFORE it will properly communicate with any transceivers.
Page 72
(a) On the C-5000, tune transceiver system #1 to the manual channel. Using the "EDIT" page on the C-5000 tune the manual channel for 30 MHz Rx and Tx frequency, set Tx Power to Hi, and the Bandwidth to "S", no subaudible tone.
Page 73
400 MHz use the "TNC" RF connector. Use the manual channel on the C-5000 to tune the transceiver. Verify RT #1 by varying the input signal until 12 dB sinad is measured. The signal level should be < .6μV for all FM Channels.
Page 74
C. Encryption Verification (1) If any of the ITM modules use encryption, verify loading encryption keys. See C-5000 Operator's manual for instructions on how to set up the RT-5000 to receive encryption keys (KVL Load). (2) If the ITM module is capable of performing an OTAR and the location the system checkout can access an OTARable station, test this function on all applicable ITM's.
