Page 3: General Information
GENERAL INFORMATION Midian’s VAE-1-SM1G is a GPS speaker microphone voice alarm encoder that can have a voice message stored in it and when the emergency switch is activated the VAE-1 will transmit an emergency ANI and/or the prerecorded voice message. The voice alert is ideal for providing location information when GPS location is not available (i.e. -
Page 4: Hardware Installation
HARDWARE INSTALLATION Be certain to follow standard anti-static procedures when handling any of Midian’s products. For all diode protected inputs (i.e. PTT Input, Mode Input, COR Input) the voltage level to be required for a logic low is less than 0.5 V and a logic high requires at least 2.1 V. J1 –... -

MPS software. Please reference the KL-4 manual for setup instructions of the programming software and hardware. From the product selection screen in the software, select the VAE-1-SM1G from the list and click Set the parameters of the software to fit the application. If any clarifications on a feature are required, move the mouse cursor over the feature name until the question mark appears and right click, a definition of the feature will be shown. - Page 6 Wake on COR/Wake on VOX: Select the appropriate method that the unit should use to come out of power save. Note: Most portables do not provide COR on the speaker mic port, so it will be necessary to use VOX detection. COR Hold-Up Time This is the amount of time after loss of COR/VOX that the unit considers COR/VOX dropped.
- Page 7 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. This field is not used with portable radios. Key-Up Delay: This sets the amount of time the unit waits after keying the radio before it transmits the ANI.
- Page 8 GPS Enable: Check this button to enable the GPS or GLONASS features of the product. GNSS: Select which Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) is being used GPS or GLONASS. GPS is the United States’ form of GNSS. GLONASS is Russia’s form of GNSS. GLONASS is currently in development. Please contact Midian for the availability of GLONASS in the GPS speaker microphone.
- Page 9 Signaling Position Settings: Leading and trailing signaling types (ANI, FMP and FMP w/GPS) can be selected here. For example MDC-1200 can be sent on the leading edge and Midian’s FMP with GPS can be sent on the trailing edge. ANI: The ANI specified in this selection is not the typical FMP ID used by Midian’s GPS speaker mics. Instead this refers to ANI formats such as MDC-1200, FleetSync, DTMF, 5-Tone or GE-Star.
- Page 10 FMP: This refers to Midian’s signaling protocol used in the GPS speaker microphone minus the GPS location information. FMP w/GPS: This refers to Midian’s signaling protocol used in the GPS speaker microphone including the GPS location information. 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.
- Page 11 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 12 Mute GPS or MDC-1200 ANI Packet: If checked, the unit will detect incoming GPS or MDC-1200 ANI packets and will mute the speaker for the Mute Duration time. A small chirp will still be heard out the speaker. Mute Duration: This sets the amount of time after the unit detects the incoming packet that it will keep the speaker muted.
- Page 13 Transmit Frequency: When the emergency input is grounded the unit sends an Emergency ANI either once or multiple times. This field tells the unit to send the voice alarm with the emergency ANI only on the first Emergency ANI or on all Emergency ANI’s. Require PTT to Record: Most radios will only pass audio to the option board when PTT is pressed.
- Page 14 These fields set how the switch is used (short press, long press or double press) and for which function (Lone Worker enable, Lone Worker Reset, Emergency On/Cancel, etc.). Note: Most portable two-way radios do not give a COR indication to the speaker microphone connector, so VOX detection should be used.
- Page 15 PTT > Active Polarity: This sets the polarity necessary for the unit’s PTT output to key the radio.
- Page 16 These fields set how the switch is used (short press, long press or double press) and for which function (Lone Worker enable, Lone Worker Reset, Emergency On/Off, etc.). 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.
- Page 17 Tones > Beep Volume: Adjust the slider for the desired beep volume. This level is expressed as a percentage of max voice audio level. Tones > Over-The-Air-Signal Modulation: Adjust the slider for the desired signaling modulation level. This level is expressed as a percentage of max voice audio level. Playback >...
- Page 18 AUDIO ALIGNMENT This section describes how to determine and set the audio levels. The procedures below can be used to approximate the response of the internal microphone or another speaker mic accessory. These measurements must be taken within 15 seconds of powering the scrambler on. This is because the scrambler may enter power saving mode after that time.

Page 19: Operation
OPERATION The SM1 has three buttons; PTT, Button 1 and Button 2. The PTT button is the larger oblong button, Button 1 is the top round button with one nub and Button 2 is the bottom round button with two nubs. PTT Button: The PTT button is used to send a PTT command to the radio to cause the radio to transmit and send the ANI. - Page 20 Decode Functions: Query: When the speaker mic receives a Query command from the CAD-800 it will transpond back indicating if it is currently enabled or disabled. Polling: When the speaker mic receives a Polling command from the CAD-800 it will transpond back to the CAD with the unit’s last location fix.
