PC. Its graphical user interface (GUI) supports touch- screen, mouse or wand operation. It uses tone remote control to interact with the base stations, but dc remote control and E&M control are available as options. The ICP9000 Navigator allows control of up to 12 individual base stations.
Description ICP9000 Navigator Installation and Service Manual DC Remote Control DC control is a method of remote radio control. This scheme uses dc currents of differing magnitudes and polarities to command the radio to perform various tasks. The dc control currents are directly impressed upon the audio wire line connections between the console and base stations.
Installation The ICP9000 Navigator Series computer (purchased separately) can be placed on any flat level surface that provides the operator with a comfortable working position with full visibility of the computer desktop screen controls and indicators. The MCU can be placed up to 50 feet away in a convenient location, using the RS-232 connection.
Telephone Line Lightning and Over-voltage Protection The ICP9000 Navigator has an over-current phone line fuse that protects against occasional extreme fault conditions that may get past the primary protectors. An example of such a fault condition is a power line cross.
ICP9000 Navigator Installation and Service Manual Installation Line Level Settings The ICP9000 Navigator Console allows the installer to adjust level settings through the on-screen diagnostics. These procedures assume that the base stations have been properly adjusted. Line Input (Receive Audio) Level Adjustment The line input level adjustment allows the receive audio of each channel to be compensated for line loses between the base station and console, ensuring the optimum audio performance of the console.
ICP9000 Navigator Installation and Service Manual Types of Base Station Control The ICP9000 Navigator is capable of either tone or dc control depending on the position of jumpers JU620 through JU623. For dc control, the console must have option CP0010 or XCP0010A. Refer to Table 2.
All of the electrical connections to the console are made at the rear panel. Power to the console is furnished through a 5-pin, DIN connector, P5. The Figure 3 shows the rear view of the ICP9000 Navigator MCU and the locations of the various connectors. The pinout for the power DIN connector is shown in Table 4: Table 4.
ICP9000 Navigator Installation and Service Manual Power Supply (3308-00124-00) The ICP9000 Navigator MCU requires an external power supply provided with the unit. This is a self- contained unit that can be located at some convenient spot near the MCU. It requires an input of 90–264 V ac 50-60 Hz and delivers a regulated output of 12 V dc at 4.2 amps maximum.
ICP9000 Navigator Installation and Service Manual Installation Model XAAB002A Audio Accessory Box Connections The rear panel connector TB3, an 8-pin removable terminal block, provides connections for the Model XAAB002A Audio Accessory Box, if it is not installed directly next to the MCU.

ICP9000 Navigator Installation and Service Manual Navigator Configuration One Touch Options The One Touch Options portion of the form enables the user to select which aliases are available to each individual operator. The left window displays all aliases that are unassigned to this operator. The right window displays those aliases assigned to this operator.
Navigator Configuration ICP9000 Navigator Installation and Service Manual Setup - Control Setup The Control Display is divided into 32 frames. Each frame contains setup functions for an individual control button. The control caption box allows up to 13 characters for alias labeling. Choosing the Momentary button causes the output to be turned on until the control button is released.
The operator uses this menu item to open a Card Suite configuration file. An existing archive file must be exported from the ICP9000 using the Card Suite software, creating a filename with the .cst extension. The Navigator GUI opens this file, and extracts the paging alias information from the archived data. The paging alias information is used when configuring the available one-touch paging aliases for operator profiles.
Navigator Configuration ICP9000 Navigator Installation and Service Manual Tools - Options – Create Profile While this form is visible, the layout of the desktop can be configured. Several aspects of the GUI can be altered to allow for different profiles: The position of each channel can be changed by clicking on and dragging the frame of a channel to a new location.
