  • Page 3: General Information

    GENERAL INFORMATION Midian’s TS-120 Series products encode ANI and Emergency ANI to display on ANI display decoder to identify which field unit is being keyed. The following is a list of benefits provided by ANI systems:  Allows dispatchers to know who he or she is talking to. ...
  • Page 4: Product Programming

    PRODUCT PROGRAMMING Midian’s TS-120-VX1 is programmed using the KL-4 programmer. Please reference the KL-4 manual for setup instructions of the programming software and hardware. From the product selection screen on the MPS software, select the TS-120-VX1 from the list and click OK.
  • Page 5 Wake on COR/Wake on VOX: Select the appropriate method for busy detection. COR Hold-Up Time: This is a drop out time for the unit to go back to sleep. VOX Settings > Sensitivity: This is a threshold detection based on the energy level in the audio. VOX Settings >...
  • Page 6 Common PTT: Check this box. Trunking Delay Enable: Check this box if using a trunking system. This will cause the unit to hold off transmitting the ANI until it has received a channel acquisition acknowledgement from the radio. Key-Up Delay: This sets the amount of time the unit waits after keying the radio before it transmitting the ANI.
  • Page 7 Protocol Format: Select the desired signaling format in which the ANI and ENI will be transmitted. ANI Position: This can be set for the beginning of transmission (leading), end of transmission (trailing) or both. Tone Duration: This field only applies to DTMF and 5-Tone formats and sets the length of each tone. Tone Gap Duration: This field only applies to DTMF and sets the length of the gap between tones.
  • Page 8 Protocol Format: This displays the format selected on the ANI tab. Fleet ID: This field only applies to FleetSync and sets the Fleet ID for the ENI. Unit ID: This sets the Emergency ANI of the unit. Message: This field only applies to G-Star. Status: This field only applies to G-Star.
  • Page 9 Transmit Delay: In Lone Worker mode, if the user does not interact with the radio before this amount of time passes, the ENI sequence will be transmitted. This time is in seconds. Warning Tone Enable: This will generate a tone sequence to alert the user the ENI is about to be transmitted. Warning Tone Delay: In Lone Worker mode, if the user does not interact with the radio before this amount of time passes, the emergency warning tone will be sounded.
  • Page 10 PTT > Active Polarity: This sets whether the unit looks for an active low or active high to send the ANI. PTT > Debounce: If checked the unit will require a continuous active state for 30 msec before accepting the PTT. Mode >...
  • Page 11 COR > Active Polarity: This sets whether the unit looks for an active low or active high to start recording the received audio. COR > Debounce: If checked the unit will require a continuous active state for 30 msec before accepting the COR.
  • Page 12 Audio Enable > Active Polarity: This sets the polarity necessary for the unit to enable the speaker of the radio to pass beeps. Emergency > Type: This sets whether the emergency input is connected to a momentary or latched switch. Emergency >...
  • Page 13 Trunking Delay Input > Active Polarity: This sets whether the unit needs an active low or active high indication from the radio to indicate a trunked channel has been established. Tones > Beep Volume: Adjust the slider for the desired beep volume. This level is expressed as a percentage of max voice audio level.
  • Page 14 Please see the Audio Levels Alignment section for details on this tab.
  • Page 15 AUDIO LEVELS ALIGNMENT This section describes how to determine and set the audio levels. Audio Levels Overview: To ensure the best audio quality, the unit must be configured to match the audio levels used by the radio. The unit uses programmable gain amplifiers to accomplish this. Determining the gain settings for these amplifiers is an involved process, so Midian simplified this process by developing an algorithm that requires the technician to make only four voltage measurements.
  • Page 16 Programming the Audio Levels: After determining the audio levels at the audio hookup points, it will be necessary to program the unit to match these levels. In the programming software, there is a slider control on the Audio Levels Screen for each of the of four audio hookup points.
