MDS P-60 Units Equipped with MDS iNET or TransNET
Transceivers
The P-60 can be equipped with various transceiver types. Depending on order
requirements, the enclosure might contain one of MDS' newer generation
transceivers, such as an MDS iNET or MDS TransNET Serie s. These units are
housed in blue, die-cast aluminum enclosures and are mounted with brackets
that attach to the bottom of the radio and extend out the sides.
In addition to the standard TransNET radio, there is also a board-only version
of this product that can be installed in a P-60. While electrically and operation-
ally similar to the standard (metal-enclosed) TransNET, it does not have a full
enclosure. It is fitted with a non-metallic cover through which four mounting
screws are inserted to secure it to the P-60 plate.
These new generation transceivers are described below:
• The MDS iNET is a license-free IP/Ethernet transceiver measuring
1.50" high x 6.00" wide x 4.00" deep (3.8 x 15.2 x 10.2 cm). (Note:
Only three screws are used to mount MDS iNET models to the P-60
plate.)
• The MDS TransNET is a license-free serial data transceiver measuring
1.40" high x 5.30" wide x 3.50" deep (3.8 x 15.2 x 10.2 cm).
• The MDS TransNET 900 Board-Only transceiver is operationally sim-
ilar to the standard TransNET, but includes a non-metallic cover, and
measures 1.40" high x 5.30" wide x 3.50" deep (3.8 x 15.2 x 10.2 cm).

Primary Power
Packaged systems can be equipped for a variety of AC or DC power supply
requirements. In addition, a 12 volt backup battery is provided as standard
equipment in AC-powered models. The battery provides at least four hours of
operation in the event of a primary power failure. (Depending on the transmit
duty cycle and how oft e n the radio is polle d, the battery may last much longer.)
The backup battery is float charged by the power supply during normal system
operation.
