    3. Installation of ACC-513E/514E This section explains step-by-step how to disassemble the SD_170E radio, install the ACC- 513E/514E, and reassemble the radio. Important Before disassembling and reassembling the radio, wear a conduction wrist strap to prevent any components on its main board from being damaged by electrostatic discharge.

    In operation, the radio is placed into the transmit condition by receiving data from DTE. If the radio receives data, the slave MCU of the ACC-513E/514E saves that data in its memory and automatically creates a PTT signal at the same time to get the RF stage to prepare for transmission.

  • Page 13 The serial protocol supported by the ACC-513E/514E is fixed at 1 start bit, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit and no parity. Flow control can be selected as either hardware (RTS/CTS), software (XON/XOFF) and none. The serial baud rate is also user configurable and supports the following rates: 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600bps.

    6. Understanding Modem Option In this section, explanation of modem options in ACC-916E, PC Programmer is given. The modem option consists of four groups, MODEM SELECT, SYSTEM OPTION 1,2 and 3. In MODEM SELECT, the type of modem and modem speed for channel space are selectable and in SYSTEM OPTION1, transmission mode of radio and functions of forcing TX and initializing Hyper Terminal are chosen.

    c. TX Forcing Mode During RX mode, when the Radio receives data from the DTE, if TX Forcing Mode Option is enable, the radio will transmit data. If disabled, the radio will not. d. Initializing Data for HT (Hyper Terminal) This is a strongly recommended option when using Hyper Terminal.

    such as PLL lock, Power-Up, stabilizing Power, and etc. So, it will degrade overall system performance. Usually, the SD-170E series uses at least 20ms (Default). f. Tx Delay Time 2 This is the required time to detect tone, and is only available for the FFSK Modem and channel with Tone (CTCSS/DCS).

    and handshaking. Basic pin connection types that can be used are a three, RXD, TXD and GND or five, RXD, TXD, GND, RTS and CTS signal line. RS232 is used according to flow control. In addition, the CD signal line can be utilized for your application. 7.1.
  • Page 21 7.1.2. Software flow control This flow control function uses three wires, RXD, TXD and GND in RS232. When DCE is receiving data from DTE, to prevent received data from exceeding the buffer1 capacity in DCE, the DCE sends command of transmission halt request which is XOFF code to the DTE.
  • Page 22: Hardware Flow Control

    7.1.3. Hardware flow control This flow control function is performed by using the control lines RTS(Request To Send), CTS(Cleat To Send), TXD, RXD and GND in RS232. When the DTE has data to be transmitted, After the DTE sends RTS signal to the DCE, the DTE waits for a CTS signal from the DCE.
