INTRODUCTION The FC-301/D Series of RF Link Modules from Friendcom utilizes the latest technology in its design and manufacturing. Both the UHF and VHF models are PLL (Phase Lock Loop Synthesizer) / microprocessor controlled, and offer one to five watts of power with 16 channel capability. Multiple functions...
TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE Table 1: Trouble shootings SYMPTOM S CAUSES COUNTERMEASURES 1.No power incomplete connection 1.Check COM1 connection 2. No input voltage of 5V or 8V 2. Check IC500、IC504 Unit does not work 3. CPU does not work 3. Check IC510 4.
WIRING DIAGRAM The standard FC-301/D is shown as below picture. The pins of CON1, CON2 and CON3 are all connected via the bridge board (As shown in Fig.2 and Fig.3). Fig.2. FC-301/D with bridge board - 10 -...
PROGRAMMING When you want to program FC-301/D, you should connect the radio with the program cable (TTL to RS-232) to PC as shown in below Fig. 4.: Fig.4. Program cable of FC-301/D And the radio should be connected with the bridge board as shown in Fig.2.
