Converting the Frequency Plan of a TRACER 4x03 System
Introduction
TRACER 4x03 systems are shipped from the factory with the frequency plan programmed as Plan A or Plan B.
Each wireless link must contain a Plan A radio on one end and a Plan B on the other. A frequency plan
conversion may be performed in the field, but should only be attempted if absolutely necessary and must
always be performed by qualified personnel. This document outlines the procedure for changing the frequency
plan of a TRACER 4x03 system (TRACER 4103 or TRACER 4203).
Prerequisite Procedures
Disconnect all cables attached to the TRACER 4x03 system (including power, data,
terminal RS-232, etc.) before performing this procedure.
The current frequency plan configuration is listed on a label located on the rear panel of the unit (near the
Antenna connector). Record the current configuration before beginning this procedure.
Tools and Materials Required
Do not attempt to perform the conversion without the proper tools (see list below). Using
improper tools will damage the unit.
5/16" Torque wrench (8 in-lbs)
3/16" nut driver
Phillips-head screw driver
Electronic equipment can be damaged by static electrical discharge. Before handling
equipment, put on an antistatic discharge wrist strap to prevent damage to components.
Place equipment in antistatic packing material when transporting or storing. When
working on equipment, always place it on an approved antistatic mat that is electrically
grounded.

To verify the plan, check the connections between the J connectors (located on the board and labeled J1 and J2) and the Chan connectors (located on the diplexer). The Chan connectors are labeled 2421 (Chan 1) and 2462 (Chan 2) for most TRACER 4103 systems and CH1 and CH2 for most TRACER 4203 systems.
  • Page 4 7. Use the torque wrench to reconnect the RF cables to the Chan connectors. Tighten the cables by turning clockwise until you hear a click from the wrench. DO NOT overtighten connectors as this will cause the RF cable to break. The TRACER 4x03 system will not operate properly with broken RF cables.
