  • Page 4: Theory Of Operation

    HEORY OF PERATION The ICRI-2PE and ICRI-2PED are limited function versions of the ICRI (P/N 500.9250). These units can provide a communications bridge, or link, between two public safety agencies with otherwise incompatible radios. The ICRI-2PE and ICRI-2PED can quickly establish the link as a tactical situation rapidly unfolds.
  • Page 5 ICRI without degradation of its capabilities/function. The ICRI-2PE and ICRI-2PED are functionally identical. The difference between the two units is the depth of the 2PED is greater. This provides the user enough space on the top of the unit to carry interface cables with the unit.

  • Page 6: Interoperability Dos And Don'ts

    INTEROPERABILITY DO AND DON’T These “universal” rules will help to ensure that the part of communications interoperability will work properly. 1. Maintain COMSEC when forming interoperability bridges. Only connect Red to Red and Black to Black. 2. Verify that only one interoperability bridge in the area is using the radio frequencies that you will be using.

  • Page 7: Pre-Operational Activities

    4. Verify that the radios are known to operate properly and have at least one fully charged battery or other reliable power source. The ICRI-2PE and ICRI-2PED can be powered by an internal 6 “AA” battery assembly or an external DC source up to 20 VDC.

    “RAPID DEPLOYMENT” SETUP AND OPERATION OF THE ICRI Setting up the ICRI for use with portable radios 1. After connecting a power source to the ICRI, turn on the ICRI so that power up and input voltage can be verified. The green LED, next to the power switch, should be lit. NOTE: 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.

    Alternative Power Sources - Using Battery Clips to Power the ICRI 1. Connect the cable to the DC source. 2. Connect the other end of the cable to the ICRI’s jack, labeled POWER. NOTE: Care should be taken to align the keyway on the plug with the key on the jack before attempting to insert the plug.

  • Page 15: Land Mobile Radio Interface

    LAND MOBILE RADIO INTERFACE NOTE: Radio interconnect cables are generally specific to a radio brand and model, although some manufacturer’s use the same connector for several radio models. NOTE: Interconnect cables provided by C-AT have a seven digit part number label on the cable. Connecting the interface cable to the LMR NOTE: Once the interface cable is connected to the radio, you will be unable to hear audio from that radio or use the mic.
