Page 2: Warranty
Argent Data Systems will repair or replace the device, at our option. This warranty covers defects in manufacturing discovered while using the product as recommended by the manufacturer. - Page 3 Introduction The ADS-SR1 is a multi-function simplex repeater, voice mailbox, and voice announcement system. It can be used with almost any radio (handheld, base station, or mobile) and is equally suitable for permanent installation or temporary use for emergencies and special events. Features of the ADS-SR1...
- Page 4 The ADS-SR1 has additional features that make it useful as more than just a simplex repeater. For example, the ‘say again’ feature can be used to repeat a single missed message on demand, even with the normal repeater function disabled.

Page 5: Hardware Description
Hardware Description The ADS-SR1 measures 3.6” by 2.6” by 1.1” (92mm by 66mm by 28 mm). Its front panel has a pushbutton power switch, 2.1x5.5mm center-positive DC power jack, and an RJ45 jack for all radio connections. Two LEDs (one red and one green) on the RJ45 jack indicate activity. -
Page 6: Audio Levels
LED is normally on and will switch off when the level exceeds 100%. Set the volume of the radio connected to the ADS-SR1 so that the green LED flickers in response to your voice, without the red LED dimming noticeably. - Page 7 If you are unable to get the receive audio level high enough, the solder jumper marked SJ1, located on the circuit board near the DIP switch, may be cut to increase gain. This jumper is present only on hardware revision 1.3 and above. Setting the transmit audio level is a two-step process.

Page 8: Operation
Operation When repeater mode is enabled (as it is by default), the ADS-SR1 listens for activity and automatically starts recording when audio is detected. If the red light does not come on in response to radio activity, check that the volume level of the radio is set correctly. - Page 9 Messages The ADS-SR1 has 10 message slots, numbered 0 through 9. These messages can be configured as timed announcements (each with a selectable interval and time offset), automatic responses to incoming transmissions (often for ID or operating instructions), or they may be triggered manually by DTMF command.
- Page 10 A quick reference sheet is included at the end of this manual. We strongly recommend cutting out this sheet, folding it, and storing it in the ADS-SR1’s battery compartment. If you plan to store the unit for long periods with lithium...
- Page 11 General Options ##71 – Repeater On Turns on the simplex repeater function. The unit will automatically repeat transmissions. The repeater is turned on by default. ##70 – Repeater Off Turns off the simplex repeater function. The unit will respond to commands, record ‘say again’...
- Page 12 ##18<time> - Repeater Cool-down Time If the repeater times out due to a long transmission, it will stop repeating transmissions until the period of time specified by this setting has expired. This can be used to avoid transmitter overheating, to ensure that a repeater with a stuck squelch remains controllable, or to penalize overly long-winded users.
- Page 13 Radio Interface Settings ##11<nn> – Set Transmit Audio Level Sets the transmitted audio level, from 00 to 99. Avoid using low numbers, as this decreases sound quality. Set the level first using the DIP switches, and then use this setting as a fine adjustment. Default is 99. Example: ##1150 –...
- Page 14 Example: ##1335 – Set timeout to 3.5 seconds ##12<n> - Select Courtesy Tone The ADS-SR1 will transmit a courtesy tone or ‘roger’ beep after every transmission, if enabled. This command selects the style of tone to use. 0 – No tone 1 –...
- Page 15 Security Commands ##00 – Lock Repeater Activates the security code and prevents entry of most commands until the access code is entered. ##01 – Ping Always responds with a triple-beep. Use to test that the unit is unlocked and responding properly to commands. ##08<code>...
- Page 16 Message Commands ##3<n> - Record Announcement Records an announcement in the specified slot (0-9). If an announcement already exists in the slot, the old message is erased and replaced. The repeater will respond with an ‘ok’ beep. Transmit your message after the ‘ok’ beep, and the repeater will respond by playing an ‘ok’...
- Page 17 ##16<1/0> – Voice ID On/Off Turns voice ID auto-response on or off. When enabled, the repeater will play announcement 0 in response to a transmission. Like the Morse ID, an inhibit timer (set with the ##85 command) can be used to ensure the voice ID plays no more often than specified.
- Page 18 Morse Code ID Commands ##82<nn…> - Set CW ID Text Sets the text to be transmitted in Morse code for the timed and auto- response ID functions, up to 12 characters. Each character is entered as a two- digit number, from the following table: 00 Space 01 A 02 B...
- Page 19 ##80<1/0> - Timed CW ID On/Off ##801 turns on the timed Morse code ID, and ##800 turns it off. This ID function is separate from the CW ID auto-response function. When enabled, the ID will be transmitted at the programmed interval regardless of activity. Default is off.
- Page 20 ##73 – Voicemail On Turns on the voicemail function. Pressing ‘1’ will record a new voicemail message. ##72 – Voicemail Off Turns off the voicemail function. Existing messages will be retained and can be retrieved, but messages cannot be recorded. The voicemail function is turned off by default.
