  • Page 21 3. OVERVIEW SYSTEM DESCRIPTION The Series 4000 Common Control Equipment (CCE) is composed of a cabinet and one or more console positions. The CCE cabinet contains several slots for accepting various types of circuit cards. The three main types of cards are Dual Channel Cards (DCCs), Console Interface Cards (CICs), and Quad Patch Cards.
  • Page 22 Section 3. Overview The CCE is connected to the dispatch console using 6 pairs of wire, which may be two 6-conductor modular telephone cables. The dispatch console is connected to the optional console expanders and console encoders (control panels) in a daisy-chained loop fashion. The loop cable is 4-conductor using 4-position modular telephone connectors.

  • Page 42 Section 4. Common Control Equipment Installation The Quad Patch Card is capable of simplex and duplex patching. Simplex patching causes the receive audio of one channel to be transmitted to all other channels in the patch and full-duplex patching allows simultaneous talk and listens between any two of the 24 channels. The Quad Patch Card may be inserted into slots 1 through 15 of the CCE.
  • Page 43 Section 4. Common Control Equipment Installation Operation The RSMC prints its information on an attached serial printer (not included). The card automatically prints its summary at midnight, and then the accumulated total is cleared for the next day. If the serial printer device is a printing terminal with a keyboard, typing upper case “S” (shift+S) will print the summary accumulated since midnight.

  • Page 47 You can configure each DCC installed into the channel cardcage to meet the requirements of the channel pairs. Card configuration is typically not performed at the Zetron factory, so even if the system has been assembled and programmed by Zetron, you may need to configure the cards.
  • Page 48 Section 4. Common Control Equipment Installation Using a Tone or DC Card for Local Control There may be times when it is desirable to use a Tone or DC Channel Card to control a local control channel, for example when interfacing to a telephone channel or intercom. The cards may be modified as shown in Table 4-9.
  • Page 49 (see Table 4-11). This is useful to prevent audio feedback between two channels on the same frequency at the same console, or to prevent audio feedback between the Zetron consoles and other consoles present in the same room. Each DCC has the same option.

  • Page 62 Section 4. Common Control Equipment Installation WIRING TO THE CHANNELS Model 4024 The radio channel interface is performed by the DCCs. Each DCC has terminations for two transmit/receive channels known as “Channel A” and “Channel B”. Channel numbers 1 through 24 refer to each of the possible 24 channels in the system.
