  • Page 3: Theory Of Operation

    Theory of Operation In simplest terms, the ICRI performs two primary functions: Distributes audio received from one two-way radio to other radios, telephone or recording device connected to the ICRI. Utilizes this same incoming audio to ―key‖ the other radios connected to the ICRI. This configuration of the ICRI is designed to be quickly set-up, and to operate for extended periods without additional power sources or specialized support equipment.

  • Page 4: Pre-Operational Activities

    Pre-Operational Activities Some pre-planning is necessary to ready the ICRI for use. The following should be accounted for before placing the ICRI on-line: Predetermine what the power source will be for the ICRI and verify that the cable or battery pack is available.

  • Page 5: Set-Up And Use Instructions

    Set-up and Use Instructions The ICRI-E is internally housed in the Pelican case; therefore this version does not provide a location for storing cables and radios inside the unit. However, the ―AA‖ batteries are stored and operational from within the unit and accessible from the front panel.

  • Page 6: Operation Of The Icri

    Operation of the ICRI Setting up the ICRI for use. Verify ―fresh‖ AA batteries are installed or connect a power source to the ICRI. Turn on the ICRI so that power up and input voltage can be verified. If you need to use a DC source voltage between 6.5 and 7.4 volts, then neither the OK nor the LOW voltage LEDs will be lit, but the ICRI will be working.

  • Page 7: Internal Panel

    INTERNAL PANEL: FIGURE 3: INTERNAL PANEL ACTIVE VOX (VOICE ACTIVATED CIRCUIT) LED INDICATOR: Each LED is associated with a voice communications port (radio, telephone). When the port receives audio from the radio or other connected device, the LED will light as the audio is received at the ICRI circuitry.

  • Page 8: External Pelican Case

    OK/ LOW IMPUT VOLTAGE LEDs: These two LEDs indicate the following: The Green LED indicates the input voltage 8.6 or greater. If battery power option is used, the ICRI will have approximately 24 hours of run time at full duty cycle. The red LED indicates the input voltage is 7.5 to 8.5 volts.

  • Page 11: Icri Power

    ICRI Power The ICRI-E can be powered by 8 ―AA‖ batteries housed on the inside cover of the unit, external DC or AC power. To power the ICRI 8 “AA” batteries: The battery housing is comprised of two parts; the cover and an internal tray.

  • Page 12: Use An Alternate Dc Source To Power The Icri

    Use an alternate DC source to power the ICRI. When powering the ICRI with an alternate DC source or through vehicle power source, connect the in-line jack to the in-line plug. Note that the pins are polarized and the connection is made so that the jack’s locking ―blades‖...

  • Page 13: Use An Ac Source To Power The Icri

    Use an AC source to power the ICRI. This power supply consists of two parts: the three-prong AC power cable and an AC to DC converter with an interconnect cable. Note: The AC supply must not be used where the cables or converter can become wet. Connect the power cord to the converter and to the DC source (110-120V, 60Hz).

  • Page 14: Land Mobile Interface

    Land Mobile Interface NOTE: Radio interconnect cables are generally specific to a radio brand and model, although some manufacturers use the same connector for several radio models. Interconnect cables provided by C- AT have a seven digit part number label on the cable. Connect Interface cables Install the radio-end of the ICRI interconnect cable onto the radio, as you would install any radio accessory (i.e.: a shoulder speaker / microphone).

  • Page 15: Set The Radio To Transmit Through The Icri

    Set the radio to transmit through the ICRI Set the audio level on each connected radios to mid position. NOTE: Radio interconnect cables are generally specific to a radio brand and model, although Set the radio to the desired channel. Set the talk group switch Up: Talk Group One Down: Talk Group Two...

  • Page 16: Optional Satphone, Land-Line Telephone, Cellular Phone Interface

    The ICRI can be configured with an optional RJ-10 jack adapter that attaches to the 8-pin jack on the outside of the ICRI-E. This jack will provide the user the ability connect a standard telephone handset without using the standard telephone port on the front of the ICRI.

    NOTE: Third party needs to be aware of basic radio etiquette and delays for radio keying Otherwise, they will monopolize the radio channel or will not be properly understood by the radio users. To remove the connector for cable storage, push inward on the locking ring and turn the ring counter clockwise to release the locking mechanism.

    APPENDIX A: 250’ Radio Extension Cable Reel Positioning one or more of the radios, to be connected to the ICRI at a distance greater than the length of the interface cable may be desirable for one of several operational reasons: 1.

  • Page 19: Set-Up Of The Cable-Reel

    Set-up of the cable-reel Equipment required: ICRI, cable-reel, radio interface cable for radio to be placed in the area of poor RF coverage. 1. Connect the cable end that exits from the side of the reel to the radio interface cable. Be sure to align the key-way and secure the connectors together.
