  • Page 13: Setup And Interfacing

    Step #3: Connecting Your Receivers to the RLC-2 The main repeater and each of the links connect to the RLC-2 using a male DB-9 connector (included). The control receiver connects to the same DB-9 as the main repeater. The pin-outs are listed below.
  • Page 14 - The first step in connecting your receiver is to locate an active low (0V when the receiver is unsquelched) COR signal. The signal must be able to sink 4mA to ground. The input impedance of the RLC-2 COR input is 10K and it is diode clamped with internal pull-up resistors.
  • Page 15 - If it is not already, the DB-9 plug can now be plugged into the appropriate jack on the main board. The main repeater goes to the jack nearest the power jack, Link 1 is right next to it, and Link 2 is the third from the left (with the DB-9s toward you).
  • Page 16 Step #5: Adjusting the RLC-2 Controller - Locate connector JP1 on the RLC-2 (It is the 10 pin female connector). This test bus will provide the signals that we need to adjust the inputs on the RLC-2. In order to maintain audio deviation during channel switching, all of the receiver inputs to the Cross-Point Board must be set to the same level.

  • Page 25: Software Resistors And Their Applications

    The RLC-2 offers a unique option to the repeater controller. The controller offers two 50K resistors controllable from your DTMF tone pad. Using this option, the RLC-2 can vary the resistance in steps with a total of 255 possible resistance values. With this feature, it is possible for the repeater operator to remotely control the squelch circuit of the repeater, volume of remotes, or vary the repeater's power output.

  • Page 27 Copyright 1995 Link Communications Inc.
  • Page 28 Logical Latched Output Lines The RLC-2 offers 8 logical control lines for site control. Because the output lines are open collector, the user will not measure any voltage on the output lines, only an open or a ground. In order to check the condition of the control lines, a meter set to resistance will be needed.

  • Page 29: Logical Input Line

    Logical Input Line The RLC-2 offers the user 4 logical input lines. These lines recognize an open/ground input change. These lines are internally pulled up to +5 Volts and zener diode clamped to 5 Volts. This allows direct interface to higher voltage inputs that do not exceed +40 Volts.

  • Page 30: Analog Input Telemetry Lines

    (Revision C boards), the RLC-2 will measure 0-5 Volts, giving 20mV resolution. It is important not to apply over 30 volts to the RLC-2 in the 25 Volt range or 7 volts in the 5 volt range. If this voltage threshold is exceeded, damage to the analog op amp will occur.

    It should be noted that any entry in the Voice Word Library is considered a whole word. Spelling out the letters "H E L L O" counts as five words, not one. The RLC-2 gives the ability to also configure the messages as CW.

  • Page 34: A Brief Description On How To Use: Lack Of Activity Timers

    The lack of activity timers are used to time event changes, and execute a command once the time has expired. Common uses for the lack of activity timers is watching the PTT on the link ports. When there has been no PTT for 'XXX' seconds, the link port is shut off. Using the lack of activity timers gives the controller the ability to watch-dog the main functions of the controller.

  • Page 35: A Brief Description On How To Use: Scheduler

    A Brief Description on how to use: Scheduler The RLC-2 scheduler is provided to allows timed execution of events. There are many uses for the scheduler like auto-configuring the repeater access modes, sending out club related messages, schedule link activity for nets and the list goes on. The scheduler has 3 modes of execution.

When sharing the serial port, the RLC-2 will set (Turn the output line 'ON' or a Low) output line #5 while the HF serial transfer is taking place. When the transfer is complete, the RLC-2 will clear that output line. When interfacing the Audio, COR and PTT inputs, a link port must be used.

    The RLC-2 has the ability to mute the audio when DTMF digits are being entered. When muting is enabled, the RLC-2 will begin muting as soon as a valid DTMF digit is detected (a short "bleep" is inevitable) and continue muting as long as at least one digit is entered each second. This allows multiple tones to be muted without each one causing a "bleep."...
