PUMA T2 Technical Handbook General information 1.2.1 TETRA NETWORK EQUIPMENT In this paragraph, the main characters of the TETRA radio communication system are briefly described (see Fig. 1.1). Both the equipment of the infrastructure and of the terminals are taken into consideration.
PUMA T2 Technical Handbook General information The LDS is directly controlled by the room server and the connection is through a LAN. 1.2.1.6 Terminals: fixed stations, vehicular radio and hand-held radio Mobile stations are made up of radio terminals which can be divided into vehicular stations and hand-held stations.
Technical Handbook General information GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS The PUMA T2 hand-portable radio unit structure comprise an internal alloy chassis that supports the printed circuit board. The front cover has a window for the display. The loudspeaker and the microphone are housed on the front of the equipment.
(downloading software and configuration data). Loudspeaker The loudspeaker has a 40mm diameter and a 500mW output power. The PUMA T2 layout is shown in Fig. 1.2 (the antenna of Fig. 1.2 belongs to the PUMA T2-870 version). Fig. 1.2: PUMA T2 hand-portable radio The antenna is connected to the equipment via a TNC coaxial connector.
PUMA T2 Technical Handbook General information TRUNKED MODE SERVICES 1.4.1 Introduction to speech calls Speech calls are circuit voice connections among network users. They are mainly classified as individual and group calls. Both half and full-duplex speech calls are available. The full-duplex call allows the radio unit to speak and listen to at the same time, whereas the half-duplex call allows the radio unit either to speak or to listen in turn.
Page 45
PUMA T2 Technical Handbook General information If a radio unit user calls a group that has already a call in progress, he will automatically be included in the ongoing call. For talk group calls, only direct set-up signalling is available. Direct set-up signalling occurs when a radio unit automatically responds to a talk group call without any user operation.
PUMA T2 Technical Handbook General information To change the current talk group, the radio unit user is required to detach from the current group and re-attach to the new one. The procedure is performed on air, according to pre-defined TETRA attachment /detachment procedures.
PUMA T2 Technical Handbook General information DATA CALLS 1.5.1 Circuit Data Services Circuit data service is a feature allowing a user to transfer a virtually unlimited amount of data to an individual or group identifier. The circuit data service employs traffic channels to establish a switched connection among the users.
PUMA T2 Technical Handbook General information PRIORITY GROUP SCANNING Priority group scanning (PGS) is a mechanism by which a radio unit is programmed to simultaneously attach to a list of talk group identities, by assigning each of them a priority (on a per-user basis) to be used for incoming call management.
PUMA T2 Technical Handbook General information OVER THE AIR PROGRAMMING (OTAP) With over the air programming (OTAP), the NMS operator has the facility to re- configure radio unit databases remotely over the air interface, and to manage and program talk group aliases (up to 12 characters). OTAP facilitates the centralised programming of a talk group database in the radio units and allows an easy talk group selection on the radio unit.
PUMA T2 Technical Handbook General information DIRECT MODE SERVICES Direct mode operation (DMO) is a TETRA operating mode in which two or more mobile stations communicate together without using the switching and management infrastructure. This operating mode is similar to the back-to-back operation of conventional half-duplex radio schemes used by many existing private mobile radio systems such as the emergency services.
PUMA T2 Technical Handbook General information scheme for Group Numbers defined in TMO. The air interface supports more than one group on a DM RF carrier although only one group is able to communicate using the channel at any given time. Only one number (Group Number-GTSI) is sent on the air interface and no acknowledgement is expected.
PUMA T2 Technical Handbook General information EMERGENCY SPEECH CALL The user can make an emergency call by pressing the emergency red button on the top of the radio (for at least two seconds) and then the PTT button to speak;...
PUMA T2 Technical Handbook General information 1.10 PROGRAMMING THE EQUIPMENT The equipment’s operating parameters are normally programmed in the equipment through an external PC with the aid of a suitable programming kit (described in the relative section), leaving the user the possibility, however, of entering and/or modifying some data through the portable unit’s keyboard.

Page 63
In order to further increase the level of user safety, we invite you to take into consideration the following additional precautions: The PUMA T2 radio is equipped with an automatic system to control the power transmitted so that the radio transmits at the maximum power only in exceptional cases (radio coverage limit, emergency call).
Page 64
PUMA T2 Technical Handbook General information During voice communications in full-duplex mode hold the hand-held radio with the antenna straight and above your shoulder and speak directly into the microphone. Hold the hand-held radio in the vertical position and always at least 3 cm away from your head during voice communications in half-duplex mode.
1.16 ESD PRECAUTIONS No ESD precautions have to be taken by the operator. PUMA T2 and its ancillary parts are designed and manufactured in such a way not to be sensible to electrostatic discharges according to what referred in the EN 301 489-18.

APPENDIX D: NICD, NIMH AND LI-ION BATTERIES INTRODUCTION The PUMA T2 handportable radio can be used with three different families of batteries: NiCd, NiMH and Li-ion. D.1.1 Battery identification The voltage read on contact number two (of the battery) is used for identifying the battery type.
PUMA T2 Technical Handbook NiCd, NiMH and Li-ion batteries LI-ION BATTERY In this appendix the Li-ion (2700 mAh) battery is described. D.2.1 Mechanical description The battery pack is equipped with hermetic case (IP 54 protection), it has a weight of 200gr, the external package has a UL40 grade; the case is built up with a GaPlast Cyxolloy C2950 plastic.
PUMA T2 Technical Handbook NiCd, NiMH and Li-ion batteries On the rear side of the battery a small hole can be found. The hole permits out- gassing during the charging phase. An osmotic protection prevent the battery from water infiltration.
PUMA T2 Technical Handbook NiCd, NiMH and Li-ion batteries D.2.2 Electrical Description The battery pack is built up of Li-ion cells, the nominal DC voltage is 7.4 V. Some characteristics are given in Tab. D.2. Tab. D.2: Li-ion battery (technical characteristics)
PUMA T2 Technical Handbook NiCd, NiMH and Li-ion batteries BATTERY PACK LAYOUT AND PROTECTION CIRCUIT The battery pack circuitry is based on two couples of parallel cells of Li-ion connected in series. This architecture permits to reach a DC voltage of 7.4 V and a nominal capacity of 2700 mAh.
