    Service Manual SD170E Series Product Introduction The SD-170E Series (here in after called “the radios”) of RF wireless modems from MAXONCIC utilize the latest technology in its design and manufacturing. Both the UHF and VHF models are Phase Lock Loop Synthesizer (PLL) / microprocessor controlled and offer five watts of power with 16-channel capability.
  • Page 8: Installation

    Service Manual SD170E Series Installation Installation The SD-170E Series Radio Modems usually requires mounting in a suitable location. Attention should be given to the heat sinking of the radio if prolonged transmission is required, see Section 2, which also includes details of the mounting hole dimensions. Note: Continuous transmission is not possible at high power (5W) without a suitable heat sink.

  • Page 13: Features

    Service Manual SD170E Series Features 16 Channels The SD-170E Series radio can store up to 16 channels within the same band. These channels can be selected by inner DIP-S/W or serial command inputted from external control system. Channel Spacing The SD-170E Series is capable of programmable channel spacing, in both UHF and VHF bands. Each channel can be programmed via the PC programmer, ACC-916E, having 12.5 kHz or 25 kHz channel spacing.
  • Page 14 Dealer programs this feature as ON or OFF. Squelch Options Compared to existing Maxon data radios, programmable sub-audio squelch system (CTCSS & DCS) and two-tone squelch system are newly added. Each channel will have these squelch option sets during dealer programming. More detail descriptions for all available squelch systems...
  • Page 15 Service Manual SD170E Series Sub-audio squelch system The SD-170E Series can operate singly or with optional modem boards. Even if user wants to use sub-audio SQ system, the radio will permit this SQ option according to some cases to avoid confliction between sub-audio and data.

    Service Manual SD170E Series Alignment Transmitter Alignment Connect the unit to a Service Monitor with the power meter set to the 10 W scale (or auto range). Refer to figure 4.4 under commissioning section TCXO Set the channel selector to the mid-range frequency 460MHz (U2) and 155MHz (V2), adjust TCXO1 for a reading accurate to within ±200Hz.
  • Page 20 Service Manual SD170E Series Sweep the audio frequency from 300 Hz to 4 kHz and ensure that the peak deviation does not exceed the limits shown below. If necessary adjust RV2 to vary audio deviation. 12.5 kHz channel spacing <= 2.5 kHz dev. 20 kHz channel spacing <= 4 kHz dev.
  • Page 21 Service Manual SD170E Series Adjust the RF output level of the RF signal generator to –47dBm and connect to the radio. Monitor the output on the audio output pin and adjust RV401 for the specific audio output level. LEVEL SHIFTER for Modem option Board (ACC-513E, ACC-514E) Prepare a suitable GMSK or FFSK test signal and apply to the test set (or use a tested radio and transmit via an antenna with the same frequency and channel spacing).
  • Page 22 Service Manual SD170E Series Squelch open (un-mute) at -114 to -113dBm (0.45 - 0.5mV of the RX signal strength) Squelch close (mute) at -117 to -116dBm (0.3 - 0.35mV of the RX signal strength) Changing the default squelch settings requires use of the programming cable and software. Those are designed for use not only as part of the programming kit but also as a tool of squelch level setting.
