  • Page 4: General Information

    When using portables the receive audio from radio ”A” is detected by the IS-1’s VOX circuit keying radio “B” which passes the above mentioned audio to radio “B”. When using mobile radios, the VOX is not used and instead the IS-1 converts the COR from radio “A” to a push to talk signal keying radio “B”.

    Be certain to follow standard anti-static procedures when handling any of Midian’s products. Use the enclosed matching cables with RJ45 type connectors to plug into the IS-1. The other ends can be connected to the appropriate type of radio connector using the pin out and color codes show below. See connector pin out in the chart below.
  • Page 6: Hardware Alignment

    HARDWARE ALIGNMENT The IS-1 can use VOX or COR from one radio to act as a PTT to key the other radio. COR is the preferred method if the radio offers this connection as it will not drop out if the user stops talking momentarily. When using COR turn off the VOX dip-switch.

    Radio 1 COR LED: This yellow LED indicates that the IS-1 is receiving COR from Radio 1. Radio 1 PTT LED: This green LED indicates that the IS-1 is applying push to talk to Radio 1. Radio 2 COR LED: This yellow LED indicates that the IS-1 is receiving COR from Radio 2.
  • Page 8: Operation

    OPERATION The IS-1 is connected between 2 radios. When the IS-1 receives COR or VOX from Radio 1, for example, the IS- 1 will light the Radio 1 COR LED then assert the PTT Output to key Radio 2, light the Radio 2 PTT LED and pass the audio received from Radio 1 to Radio 2 to be retransmitted.

    P1-5: Programming Alert Tone Output: When programming this output can provide programming confirmation tones. P1-6: Receive Audio Input: This is the point in the audio path of the IS-1 that the IS-1 Option C looks for the signaling to enable or disable the IS-1.

    Alkaline batteries are cheap and readily available and have a 565 mAh capacity. Lithium could also be used and have a higher mAh ratting. If the IS-1 Option C is used it jams the PTT from the VOX circuit by grounding the base of Q3 via D3:2 during disable.
