    Following installation by qualified radio service personnel, turn on power to the encoder. The first number shown in the display is the Zetron order number. The unit then displays its software version number. Finally, the display clears and ends up showing one or more hyphens which indicate successful power up completion and readiness for operation.

  • Page 27: Pager Number

    Autopage The Model 15P can be programmed by the installer to start the paging sequence either automatically after the last digit of the pager code has been entered (Autopage = ON), or only after the PAGE key has been pressed (Autopage = OFF). Autopage is activated after the encoder has received the maximum number of digits allowable for the chosen format.
  • Page 28: Autoscroll

    Section 3. Operation “Programming System Parameters” in Section 5 for complete details. The encoder is shipped with the Autopage function off to allow the operator to review the pager number in the display before sending the page. If the chosen format allows a message to be sent, Autopage shows a message prompt.

    Section 3. Operation pager number in a keypad stack is found to be invalid, the transmission halts and all remaining pager numbers are lost. 2. Checks for a channel busy input. If detected, the encoder blinks the display message “buSY” continuously at a rapid rate until an internal timer determines that the channel has been available for two seconds.
  • Page 32: Optional Serial Port

    OPTIONAL SERIAL PORT Power-Up Test The Model 15P encoder has no dip switches in order to configure it. Instead, the encoder’s configuration options are selected in Programming mode (see “Programming System Parameters” in Section 5). This means that nothing has to be set before applying power.

  • Page 40: Digital Output

    Section 4. Installation DIGITAL OUTPUT The digital paging formats require very accurate timing reproduction of the binary waveform edges. To guarantee such accuracy, the terminal must be located in close proximity to the digital transmitter; typically a distance of 50 feet or less. It is also recommended that coaxial cable with a DC resistance of less than 100 ohms be used to carry the digital output signal.
  • Page 41: Digital Mode

    To simplify explanations from this point on, the CRT or computer used with the Model 15P will simply be referred generically to as the “terminal”.

    All programmable values are saved in nonvolatile memory when leaving programming mode. During power-up, the Zetron order number is momentarily displayed, followed by the installed software's version number. When the encoder is first powered up for the first time or is powered up without configurations or formats programmed, the LED display shows the prompt “SEtUP”.

    15 minutes and 22 WPM. The Model 15P will accept call signs up to ten characters in length. The call sign can use all 26 letters of the alphabet and the digits “0” to “9”. Because all of the programming of the Model 15P must be entered from the rather limited keypad, it is necessary to use two-digit combinations to represent all of the characters in the ID call sign.
  • Page 54: Example

    ID string anyone has programmed into the Model 15P. To enter a new ID, you simply start keying in the two-digit combinations for each character. As the second digit of each pair is entered, the encoder will display the proper letter or number for that entry.
  • Page 55: Programming Paging Formats

    Section 5. Programming PROGRAMMING PAGING FORMATS The following paragraphs describe the prompts encountered when programming paging formats. When the display reads “diGt=0”, selecting a digit between 0 and D will select the leading digit under which a paging format may be programmed. When only a single format is to be programmed in the encoder, a leading digit still needs to be selected for programming to proceed.
  • Page 56: Two-Tone

    When COdE = 0, this prompt requests the second tone group for a 100 call paging system. PLN= 0 When COdE = 1, this prompt requesting the Zetron code plan number (0 - 24) for 1000 call paging systems. For code plan numbers, see Section 7, "Motorola and GE Code Plans".

  • Page 61: Reach Format

    Reach is essentially a specialized form of two-tone paging. For the purposes of fitting it into the Model 15P, Zetron has taken 50 tones from the original group of 60 Reach tones and organized them into five tone groups. These five tone groups are then used to make up a 1000-call code plan.

  • Page 63: Alert Tones

    The Model 15P can transmit the audible Alert tones by themselves, just as though they were paging tones. This format allows the Alert tones to be assigned a leading digit. The Alert tone desired can be selected manually each time this feature is used, or a single Alert tone can be strapped to the leading digit.

    Section 7. Quick Reference CUSTOM CALLS MEMORY REQUIREMENT WORKSHEET The real capacity of the Model 15P for the Custom paging formats is determined by how much of its non-volatile memory has been used. This in turn is determined by which formats where used and how many pager capcodes were programmed under each format.
