  • Page 12: Programming Example

    With button F4 the displayed value is programmed. As every button of the Major 4a/5a is freely programmable, the registers 174 and 175 for the Z-button have to be programmed with the right values. As this already is the case in the factroy defaults, this step is not necessary.

  • Page 13: Transmit 3-7-Tone Sequence

    Tone Call Encoder Transmitting 5-Tone Sequences For the transmission of 5-tone sequences it can be configured which tones are set by manual input and which ones are preset (see Table of Registers, register 010). Example: 5-tone sequence 5-tone sequence with the following properties are to be sent: digit: tone 9 digit: tone 8 digit: manual input via keypad...

  • Page 14: Transmission Of Double Sequences

    Transmission of Double Sequences Double sequences can be transmitted as 3-7-tone double sequences (see 3-7-tone sequence). The number of tones is set in register 081 (digit 6). The break or an alternative coupling tone between the two tone sequences is programmed with the call button (register 172).

  • Page 15: Transmission Of 6-, 7-, 8-Tone Sequences

    Transmission of 6-, 7-, 8-Tone Sequences This is another possibility to transmit tone sequences of varying length (see Table of Registers, re- gister 010). The 6-,7-,8-tone sequences (register 010: digit 8 is coded with 3,4 or 5) are composed by a 5-tone sequence from register 010 and the additionally necessary digits from register 015. These additional digits correspond to the own ID-code.

  • Page 16: Decoder

    Decoder Major 4a/5a contains 10 decoders that are freely programmable by 3 registers for each of the de- coders (see Table of Registers, registers 020-049). If the Major is set to factory defaults, an alarm tone signalizes a decoded call. Furthermore, the loudspeaker is activate, its LED flashes, the alarm output (switching output 7) is switched and the standard acknowledgement is sent (only decoder 0, all the others are not active).
  • Page 17 Example 1: decode 5-tone sequence 9867x The first decoder is to decode the tone sequence 9867x, i.e., for the 5 digit arbitrary tones should be accepted. The first decoder is programmed in registers 020, 030 and 040. Register 020 9867FFF1 digit are the 4 invariable digits of the tone sequence (9867) digit is arbitrary and hence coded with an F.
  • Page 18 Example 3: decode double sequence In this example a 5-tone double sequence is to be decoded that consists of call and a following ID code. Decoding is performed in decoder 3 (registers 022, 032, 042). The invariable digits of the 5-tone sequence for the ID code usually is identical to the own ID code (as in register 015).

  • Page 19: Id Code Memory

    ID code memory The key tones for ID decoding and ID code memory are programmed in register 016 for all decoders. The first 7 digits of register 016 contains the tone sequence that has to be decoded for the ID code memory.

  • Page 20: Ffsk Mode

    FFSK mode Major 4a can be used in mixed networks, where FFSK and common tone sequence signalling (see Transmitting 5-Tone Sequences) are to be used simultaneously. Therefor, a FFSK-decoder/ encoder is active in addition to the tone-decoder/encoder. Composition of a Telegram The call telegram starts with an unmodulated carrier that has to be present at the receiver for at least 25 ms.
  • Page 21 Status The status of the call is programmed in register 054 (digit 3). For decoding the status is not important. All values are accepted. Producer Identification and Call Digits 4 and 5 (producer identification) and 6-8 (call) are combined by the Major and treated like a 5-tone sequence.
  • Page 22 FFSK Encoder The 5 digits of the producer identification and the call (4 digit in the 8-digit FFSK telegram) are treated in the same way as for 5-tone telegrams. The digits that should not be entered via the keypad are invariably coded. Invariable digits can be located anywhere throughout these 5 digits. Hence, it is also possible to invariably set digits 4, 6 and 8 of the FFSK telegram.

  • Page 23: Individual Programming Of The Buttons

    Individual Programming of the Buttons All buttons of the Major 4a/5a are freely programmable. The numeric keys, the * and # keys as well as the function buttons for volume (only Major 5a), loudspeaker, short call, call and PTT are programmed ex factory for the respective tasks.

    Alarm Signals FT634aC => Major 4a/5a Up to 3 alarms can be transmitted from an FT634aC to a Major 4a/5a. The FT634aC transmits transmits any change of the alarm switching contacts to the major immediately. If no acknowledge- ment is received, 3 repetitions are transmitted. If again no acknowledgement was received, trans- mission is retried after a minute.

    Hardware Configuration Two/Four-Wire Configuration The Major 4a/5a can be configured for 2-wire and 4-wire connection. Starting with software version 2.0 switching from 2-wire to 4-wire is done by programming register 051/4. Two-Wire Connection using FT630 Over longer distances the radio set can be controlled via a 2-wire line. If PTT is keyed at the Major, a DC voltage is applied to the line in addition to the audio signal.

    Short Dial Memory The short dial memory contains 1000 storage locations with a maximum of 16 digits each. It can be read and programmed using the keypad or via the RS232 interface. Programming with the Keypad For programming the short dial memory the Major must be in telephone mode, which is activated using button ”.
  • Page 46 Maximum Transmission Time (Simplex) If the maximum transmission time is reached, e.g. due to heavy noise in the telephone line, the phone call is terminated automatically. The maximum transmission time can be adjusted from 1 to 990s or deactivated with ‘0‘. Ex factory it is set to 45s. Reg.

  • Page 47: Mode Of Operation

    Mode of Operation Major 4a with TIM supports 3 different modes of operation for transmitter control: simplex (vox), simplex (carrier) and duplex. In simplex (vox) mode the voice from the telephone and the radio is analyzed. If transmission is active in one way, it remains activated as long as a voice is present. Only after a certain time without voice, transmission in the other way can be activated.
