  • Page 6: General Description

    RF modules are installed. DESCRIPTION The TDFM-600/6000 series of transceivers are airborne multi-band radios capable of operation in conventional analog and P25 digital FM systems, SmartNet/SMART ZONE and P25 9600 trunking systems. Type I RF modules are available in VHF, UHFLO, UHFHI and 800 MHz bands. Type II RF modules support additional optional features not available in type I modules and are also available in VHF, UHFLO, UHFHI and 700/800 MHz.
  • Page 7 P200 series project numbers are used specified in ascending order. in transceivers with type I modules *Note: 0 used when only one module installed. TDFM-600 Model Variations with type II Modules *TDFM-6X0, P/N 011210-3-6X0/PYYY/28 GREEN display and 28 Volt back lighting. *TDFM-6X0, P/N 011210-3-6X0/PYYY/5 GREEN display and 5 Volt back lighting.
  • Page 8 All model variations are provided with 28 Volt back lighting unless a specific request is made for 5 Volt AC operation. NV (Night Vision) compatible option is only available with green display.

    This allows for separate and simultaneous operation on each of the bands just like having 2 or 3 separate radios. If combined operation is desired, a Technisonic AMS-6000 audio mode selector may be used ahead of the audio controller. FRONT PANEL Refer to the diagrams below: Figure 2-1 Front panel Controls – TDFM-600/6000 Series Transceivers (not including TDFM-636)

  • Page 11: Power Switch

    Figure 2-2 Front panel Controls – TDFM-636 Transceiver Only POWER SWITCH To switch the transceiver on, press and hold the left most knob until the radio powers up. The display will show TECHNISONIC and the software version installed followed by the model number as determined by which RF modules are installed.

  • Page 12: Soft Keys And Home

    SOFT KEYS AND HOME The transceiver has three soft keys which assume the function shown above them on the display. The functions displayed depend on how the module was programmed with the radio service software (CPS)™. Functions can be different on a channel by channel basis as well. These may include: ZONE - Pressing this function will prompt you for a new zone number which can be entered directly or scrolled using the UP and DN keys.
  • Page 13 It is possible to use Motorola’s Customer Programming Software (CPS™) to alter the default keypad settings of the TDFM-600/6000 series radios. However if custom key settings are chosen it will not be possible for Technisonic to help the Pilot or other Radio User through operational difficulties. These questions will have to be referred to the Radio System Administrator responsible for customising the settings.

    CPS™. Follow the instructions supplied with the CPS™ and RIB. The radio cable supplied with the RIB will not connect to the TDFM-600/6000, therefore you will need to fabricate or purchase the type I programming cable, P/N 013524-1.
  • Page 16 Programming cables for units with Type II modules The TDFM-600/6000 series transceivers that employ type II modules do not require a Smart RIB box, AC power pack or computer RIB cable. A Technisonic PC-6000 II programming cable, P/N 047366-1 and Motorola CPS Programming software, P/N RVN4186 (Latest revision) is all that is required to program transceivers with type II modules.

    2.15 CONFIGURATION MENU Some features of the TDFM-600/6000 transceiver can be configured to the user’s preference. To enter the configuration menu, turn the unit on while simultaneously pressing the F4, ESW and TSW keys. Hold the keys until the display reads ‘Configuration Menu’. The configurable items are: Knob default Rotating the left most knob will toggle the condition between volume and channel.

  • Page 18: 2.16 Flash Upgrade Mode

    2.16 FLASH UPGRADE MODE On occasion it may be required to flash upgrade one or more of the modules in the radio to change or add new features. This can be done using the Motorola RIB box and software supplied in a Motorola flash upgrade kit.

    Panel Backlighting Note: The TDFM-600/6000 has one set of Mic, Audio and PTT lines for each RF band installed. Single band units will only use Mic 1, Audio 1 and PTT 1. Dual band units will use Mic 1 & 2, Audio 1 & 2, and PTT 1 &...
  • Page 23 3.10 MIC 1, 2 AND 3 - PINS 3, 6 AND 9 The microphone input signals shall be connected using shielded wire with the shield connected to ground (pin 1 or 14). It is recommended for best results to leave the other end of the shield floating to prevent ground currents unless you are connecting to an audio panel with floating hi and lo inputs (like the Technisonic A710 or A711 series).

  • Page 25 3.18 POST INSTALLATION EMI TEST PURPOSE The purpose of this test is to identify any interference that the TDFM-600/6000 transceiver may cause with existing aircraft systems. TEST CONDITIONS The TDFM-600/6000 transceiver should be installed and function tested. The antenna VSWR should be checked.
  • Page 26 Determine if the image frequency for the VHF Comm falls within the range of the TDFM- 600/6000. If so, select a set of frequencies that will cause the TDFM-600/6000 to be set as close as possible to the image frequency. Any one of the many possible sets will suffice.
  • Page 27 Determine if the image frequency for the VOR/ILS Nav falls within the range of the TDFM- 600/6000. If so, select two sets of frequencies that will cause the TDFM-600/6000 to be set as close as possible to the image frequency. Choose one set in the localizer frequency range and one in the VOR frequency range.
