Page 8: Introduction
1.0 INTRODUCTION This guide presents installation and operating instructions for the x510 Series of digital radio transceivers. The radios can be purchased as compact, modular boards for direct mounting inside remote terminal units (RTUs), programmable logic controllers (PLCs), automatic banking machines, or similar equipment. They are also available as standalone units packaged in their own enclosures (see lower cover illustration). -
Page 9: Modem Speeds
Modem Speeds Domestic models are capable of 9600 bps transmission over the air; ETSI models, 4800 bps. This does not affect the local DATA INTERFACE port speed, which will accept asynchronous data between 1200 and 19200 bps. Frequency Coverage X510 Series radios are available for operation in the 200 MHz or 400 MHz frequency bands. -
Page 10: Point-To-Point System
Invisible place holder Figure 2. MAS Point-to-Multipoint Network (Two remote stations shown—four or more are typically used) Point-to-Point System Where permitted, the transceiver may also be used in a point-to-point arrangement. A point-to-point system consists of just two radios—one serving as a master and the other as a remote—as shown in Figure 3. -
Page 11: Switched Carrier Operation
Switched Carrier Operation Switched Carrier operation is a half-duplex mode where the master station transmitter is keyed to send data and unkeyed to receive. X510 Series radios operate in switched carrier mode and are keyed when data is present. NOTE: X510 Series radios do not support full-duplex operation (i.e., transmitting and receiving at the same time). -
Page 12: Accessories
1.4 Accessories The transceiver can be used with one or more of the accessories listed in Table 1. Contact the factory for ordering information. Table 1. Optional Accessories Accessory Description Hand-Held Terminal Keypad terminal for programming, 02-1501A01 Kit (HHT) diagnostics, and control. Includes carrying case, cable set and an instruction booklet. -
Page 13: Installation
2.0 INSTALLATION There are three main requirements for installing the transceiver— adequate and stable primary power, a good antenna system, and the correct data connections between the transceiver and the data device. Figure 5 shows the external connections for the transceiver. Invisible place holder Figure 5. - Page 14 4. Set the radio configuration. The transceiver is designed for quick installation with a minimum of software configuration in most cases. The selections that must be made or verified for new installations are: • Transmit frequency • Receive frequency • Network address (factory-set to NONE The operating frequencies are not set at the factory unless they are specified at the time of order.

Page 15: Mounting The Transceiver
2.2 Mounting the Transceiver Transceiver Board Figure 6 shows the mounting dimensions of the transceiver PC board. The board should be secured to the mounting surface using the holes provided at each corner of the assembly. (Fasteners are not supplied.) Note that the lower left mounting hole in the board is a threaded ferrule. -
Page 16: Antennas And Feedlines
Figure 7. Transceiver (2W) Mounting Dimensions (Enclosed Version) 2.3 Antennas and Feedlines Antennas The transceiver can be used with a number of antennas. The exact style depends on the physical size and layout of the radio system. Suitable antennas are available from several manufacturers. At master stations, omni-directional antennas (Figure 8) are typically... -
Page 17: Feedlines
Feedlines The selection of antenna feedline is very important. Poor quality cables should be avoided as they result in power losses that may reduce the range and reliability of the radio system. Tables show the losses that occur when using various lengths and types of cable at 200 and 400 MHz, respectively. -
Page 18: Conservation (Sleep Mode)
Conservation (Sleep Mode) In some installations, such as at solar-powered sites, it may be necessary to keep the transceiver’s power consumption to an absolute minimum. This can be accomplished by configuring the data device (RTU, PLC, etc.) to ground Pin 12 of the connector, which removes DATA INTERFACE power from the radio. - Page 19 Table 4. DATA INTERFACE Connector Pinouts (Continued) Input/ Number Output Pin Description DSR—Data Set Ready. Active when radio is powered on. Signal Ground. Connects to ground (negative supply potential) at radio’s PC board. DCD—Data Carrier Detect. Active when receiving data from another OEM Series radio with the same network address.

3.0 OPERATION In-service operation of the transceiver is completely automatic. Once the unit has been properly installed and configured, operator actions are limited to observing the radio’s LED status indicators for proper operation. 3.1 Initial Startup If all parameters are set correctly, operation of the radio can be started with these steps: 1. -

Page 32: Troubleshooting
5.0 TROUBLESHOOTING Successful troubleshooting of the radio system is not difficult, but it requires a logical approach. It is best to begin troubleshooting at the master station, as the rest of the system depends on the master for polling commands. If the master station has problems, the operation of the entire network can be compromised. -
