4.4.1 Split installation parts Figure 4.4.1-1 shows some extra parts used for split installation. The TR-810 can be mounted as a Mobile radio, Desk top or flush mounted into a horizontal or vertical area. The front module can be mounted separately away from the transceiver unit using an extension cable and a mounting plate or a bracket.

4.5 Antenna connectors The antenna should be of good quality with regards to gain and VSWR to obtain maximum performance. Make sure that the VSWR on the antenna is low, and that the cable from the transmitter to the antenna is of good quality to avoid mismatch and unnecessary losses. A cable loss of 1 dB is the same as reducing the power output of a 10W transmitter to less than 8.5W.

Operating Instructions 5.1 Introduction To set up the TR-810 transceiver unit, various parameters can be selected from the front panel. This section show how this is done and the range of all parameters. Since the transceiver unit contains no manual tuning points or switches, all parameters can in principal be set from the front panel, however in some rare occasions, most parameters should be left at their default (factory preset) values.
5.1.1 Note on frequency setting The frequency is set according to the procedure described in ICAO annex 10. This is a way of setting the frequency in a mixed 8.33* and 25 kHz environment. The frequency set does not always reflect the actual transmit or receive frequency but is the frequency used to orally communicate the frequency between controllers and pilots.
5.2 User menu – transceiver, Restricted access level Main display window in restricted mode. Display Description When the transceiver is switched on, it will show the name of the last selected channel and the frequency. This is the start-up menu. Any fault indications will be shown at the bottom line of the display.
5.3 User menu – transceiver, Non-restricted access level Main display window for user level Technician Display Description Select number by rotating CW or CCW. Press to step to the next digit. When all four digits are set correctly, press to save. Default password is: 0000 Select sub-menu for Transceiver Ctrl information by rotating Press...
5.4 User menu – transceiver, Channel Setup Display Description Select number by rotating CW or CCW. Press step to the next digit. When all four digits are set correctly, press (OK) to enter. Default password is: 0000 Select sub-menu for Channel Setup by rotating Radio Ctrl Press (OK) to enter selected sub-menu.

Details about the fault that caused the alarm are accessible for the technician. See chapter 5.6. The technician can access the BITE measurements to get more detailed information about the cause of the alarm. If the TR-810 stops functioning for internal reasons, the whole transceiver unit has to be replaced. 84417_O&I_TR-810_E ...
