Training information (for FCC approved equipment)TheSAILOR6300MF/HFDSCisdesignedforoccupationaluseonlyandisalsoclassifiedassuch.Itmustbeope-rated by licensed personnel only. It must only be used in the course of employment by individuals aware of both the hazards as well as the way to minimize those hazards.
The radio is thus NOT intended for use in an uncontrolled environment by general public. The SAILOR 6300 MF/HF DSC hasbeen tested and complies with the FCC RF exposure limits for Occupational Use Only. The radio also complies with the following guidelines and standards regarding RF energy and electromagnetic energy levels including the recommended levelsfor human exposure:
• FCC OET Bulletin 65 Supplement C, evaluating compliance with FCC guidelines for human exposure to radio frequencyelectromagneticfields.
• American National Standards Institute (C95.1) IEEE standard for safety levels with respect to human exposure toradiofrequencyelectromagneticfields,3kHzto300GHz
• American National Standards Institute (C95.3) IEEE recommended practice for the measurement of potentially hazardouselectromagneticfields-RFandmicrowaves.
Below the RF exposure hazards and instructions in safe operation of the radio within the FCC RF exposure limits established for it are described.
WarningYour Thrane & Thrane radio set generates electromagnetic RF (radio frequency) energy when it is transmitting. To ensure that you and those around you are not exposed to excessive amounts of that energy (beyond FCC allowable limits for occupational use) and thus to avoid health hazards from excessive exposure to RF energy, FCC OET bulletin 65 establishes an Maximum Permissible SAILOR6301_UM.book Page viii Monday, November 14, 2011 2:06 PM ix Exposure (MPE) radius of 6 ft. (1.8 m) for the maximum power of your radio (150 W selected) with a whip antenna having a maximum gain of 3.0 dBi. This means all persons must be at least 6 ft. (1.8m) away from the antenna when the radio is transmitting.
98-130890-Dvi
Installation1. A whip antenna with a maximum power gain of 3 dBi must be mounted at least 12.6 ft. (3.9m) above the highest
deck where people may be staying during radio transmissions. The distance is to be measured vertically from the lowest point of the antenna. This provides the minimum separation distance which is in compliance with RF exposure requirements and is based on the MPE radius of 6 ft. (1,8m) plus the 6.6 ft. (2.0 m) height of an adult.
2. Onvesselsthatcannotfulfilrequirementsinitem1,theantennamustbemountedsothatitslowestpointisat least 6 ft. (1.8m) vertically above the heads of people on deck and all persons must be outside the 6 ft. (1.8 m) MPE radius during radio transmission.• Always mount the antenna at least 6 ft (1.8 m) from possible human access.
• Never touch the antenna when transmitting
• Use only authorized T&T accessories.
3. If the antenna has to be placed in public areas or near people with no awareness of the radio transmission, the antenna must be placed at a distance not less than 12 ft. (3.6 m) from possible human access.
Failure to observe any of these warnings may cause you or other people to exceed FCC RF exposure limits or create other dangerous conditions.

General information1.1 Introduction
The 150 W/250 W/500 W MF/HF transceiver with integrated DSC and telex is designed for maritime applications in voluntary as well as compulsorily fitted vessels. It offers simplex and semi-duplex SSB radiotelephone communication in the maritime mobile frequency bands between 1.6 and 30 MHz. The basic version of the transceiver includes voice, DSC and a dedicated 2187.5 KHz DSC watch receiver, forming an ideal system for MF GMDSS installations.The equipment consists of a compact transceiver control unit, a fully remote controlled transceiver unit and an automatic antenna tuning unit.The microprocessor controlled Antenna Tuning Unit automatically matches the impedance of antennas between 8 and 18 metres in length and requires no presetting at the installation. The typical tuning time is 1 s. It is designed for outdoor installation and may be located up to 100 metres from the Transceiver Unit.The Transceiver Unit contains all receiver and transmitter circuits. The fully protected solid state 150 W/250 W /500 Wpower amplifier cooled by natural convection matches a 50 ohm antenna system, but is normally used in connection with the Antenna Tuning Unit. The DSC/Telex modem contains two demodulators, one connected to the built-in watch receiver for continuous watch on the DSC distress frequency 2187.5 KHz, the other connected to the communication receiver which may be used to keep simultaneous watch on other DSC frequencies or may be used for telex communication.The transceiver can easily be upgraded to include 6 channel scanning DSC watch receiver, and Telex operation to comply with MF/HF requirements in sea area A3. The upgrade is done by entering software license codes.The Control Unit is for operation of radiotelephone as well as DSC and telex functions. Use of the equip-ment is simple, logic and straight forward. DSC operation is based on the use of soft keys. Guiding texts are provided and the large display is able to show the contents of a complete call in one screen.For telex operation the Message Terminal is connected to the system through the CAN bus.The equipment is designed for operation from a 24 V battery. With the optional AC Power Supply unit installed the equipment may be supplied from 115/230 V AC main or emergency supplies with automatic switch-over to 24 V DC supply in the absence of AC supply voltage. Also optionally, a battery charger for AC is available in the product line.The built-in test facilities and easy-to-replace module design of the equipment simplifies the service concept.

2.3 Ground connections2.3.1 Antenna Tuning Unit
As the earth connection of a transmitter is a very important part of the antenna system, it is of the utmost importance to keep in mind that the earth connection of the Antenna Tuning Unit must have the lowest possible RF-impedance. Losses in the earth connection will result in a decrease in radiated power which means that the range of the transmitter will be reduced. In steel ships a 100 x 0.5 mm copper strap as short as possible is con-nected between the earth terminal at the bottom of the Antenna Tuning Unit and two or three 1/2" or M12 bolts welded to the superstructure. Vessels constructed of non-conducting materials must be equipped with a copper earth plate having a mini-mum area of 1 square metre mounted below the water line. From a copper earth bolt hard soldered to the earth plate a 100 x 0.5 mm copper strap is run, preferably uninterrupted to the earth terminal at the bottom of the Antenna Tuning Unit.Should it be necessary to break the copper strap, for example to pass through a deck, two or three 1/2" or M12 bolts should be used for this feed through. On wooden ships having a superstructure of metal, this superstructure should also be effectively connected to the copper strap by using stainless steel bolts and preferably pieces of stainless steel strips between the metal parts. On fibre glass boats, such as yachts and sailing boats, it may be difficult to install a sufficiently good earth. Short copper straps are bolted to conducting parts on the engine, the keel and other conducting objects. Many copper straps can be glued to the inner surface of the hull below the water line to produce a large capacitance to the water. It is important that the total area of copper is large and that the distance between the copper surface and the water is as small as possible. The copper straps are connected directly to the ATU.On ships where the environmental conditions require shielded grounding downlead in order to avoid radiation from same downlead, it is recommended to use a shielded cable with a non-stranded wire having adequate wire dimension to securee the proper grounding. Cable shielding should be connected at ATU mounting kit and left open at the earth connection side.
2.3.2 Transceiver Unit and Control UnitThe Transceiver Unit is preferably grounded separately to the ships metal in the shortest possible way. A 10 to 16mm sq. ground wire is connected to the ground terminal (cable clamp) at the bottom of the unit.

Grounding considerations
2.4 Grounding considerationsProper system grounding is one of the most important installation details.Two areas of grounding must be considered:
a) The ground connection between the ATU and earth plane. b) The ground connection of the TU and the externally connected equipment.
Each area requires separate considerations even though they are interrelated. Ideally the Control Unit, Transceiver Unit, Antenna Tuning Unit and the antenna ground-plane must have the same RF ground potential. Unfortunately this situation is seldomly achieved, but interference problems will be reduced along with how close to this “ideal” the grounding of the installation is performed.On some installations ground loops will cause problems. A ground loop is caused by more than one ground path for a given unit. This will introduce circulating RF currents which may cause malfunction of other equipment onboard the ship as well as a “hot” handset.

2.4.1 Antenna startThe vertical antenna always starts at its electrical ground-plane, whether or not it is physically mounted there. First determine the antenna’s electrical ground-plane, which is where the ATU must be mounted. Where possible always take the ATU to the ground, not the ground to the ATU.In case of a fibreglass boat, the ground-plane may well be at the hull grounding terminal. Then this is where the Antenna Tuning Unit should go and this is where the antenna actually starts.

2.5 Antennas2.5.1 Transceiver Antenna
The equipment is used with common transmitting and receiving antenna. The antenna should be erected in the open, away from conducting object such as derricks etc. which may cause reduction of the radiated power. Insulators should be of the best type having low leakage even when wet. Stays, wires, steel masts etc. should be either effectively earthed or insulated. The antenna should also be kept as far away as possible from electrical equipment in order to minimize noise. Electrical installation such as cable braiding (screens) and instruments in the vicinity of the antenna should be earthed effectively, and the instruments in question should be fitted with noise-interference suppression devices, effective in the range 0.1 MHz to 30 MHz to avoid malfunction of these instruments. The Antenna Tuning Unit will tune on any frequency in the range 1.6 to 27 MHz to good whip and/or wire installations of 12 to 18 m total electrical length.Shorter antennas, electrical length down to 8 m can be used. Where possible long antennas should be installed to maximize the radiated power in the lower frequency bands.
In general a 12 m antenna installation can be made using an 8 meter whip and 4.5 m feeder or a 10 m whip and 2.5 m feeder. In both cases the whip should be mounted on a pole allowing for the feeder to be erected at an angle of no less than 60 degrees to create a vertical antenna system. Using horizontal feeders or feeders mounted at an angle below 45 degrees usually transform the antenna radiation resistance to a lower value reducing the radiated power. Furthermore, the total antenna system should be kept well away from conductive objects such as the mast. Usually a horizontal distance of more than 4 meters will create good results.
If a whip antenna is used this should have an anti-corona ball as a top termination to prevent crackling noise in the receiver.
The antenna is terminated at the insulator at the top of the Antenna Tuning Unit. The insulator must be relieved from mechanical stress by using max. 1 metre flexible wire between the insulator and a support. To maximize the radiated power and avoid flash over keep distance to metal parts as long as possible. All wire junctions in the antenna system must be made with cable lugs of correct size ac-cording to the wire gauge. This will prevent bad connections due to corrosion. For further corrosion proofing grease may be applied to the cable joints.

2.5.2 Recommended ATU installation
On a metal-hull vesselInstall the ATU on an ATU Mounting Kit. The kit is stainless steel which can be bolted or welded to ship's hull to ensure good and solid connection in the radio system primary ground point.The mounting kit will at the same time ensure straight and flat mounting for the ATU cabinet and provide good airflow around the ATU for better heat dissipation.
On a wooden or fibreglass hull vesselInstall the ATU on an ATU Mounting Kit. The kit is stainless steel which can be bolted to ship's hull and then provide a ground plane connection to ensure good and solid connection in the radio system primary ground point.The ground plane should normally be provided in as vide surface as possible with shortest possible con-nection to ships earth connection to the water surface.Alternatively and in case of long ground connections the grounding should be arranged in a solid and shielded cable connection where sufficient cable square material to provide the connection and the shielding connected to ATU Mounting Kit and left open at earth connection side.
ATU Mounting KitAn optional ATU Mounting Kit as shown below is available in two versions:
1. Compries mounting plate and fittings for mast - part no. 737589 For mounting the ATU directly on a mast, where the Mounting Plate and fittings for mast can form a sufficient earth connection on a steel mast welded to the superstructure.
2. Compries the mounting plate only - part no. 737588 To get an even mounting surface on an uneven support.

2.5.3 Considerations on antenna length requirements
Antenna impedanceThe length of the transmitting antenna used with MF/HF equipment in general and the MF/HF equip-ment specifically for purpose of this discussion is of utmost importance for the proper performance of the equipment, i.e. the ability to tune properly to the antenna and the effective transmission range - to a lesser extend influencing the receiving performance. In terms of transmission range, more important than increasing the transmitter RF output power from say 150 W to 250 W is in fact the use of an adequate length antenna.Comparatively, any practical length whip antenna remains by far too short for the wavelength for which it is used, especially at the lower frequencies. For the frequency range 1.6 – 30 MHz defining the com-mercial MF/HF marine band, the wavelength spans the range 190 – 10 m approximately.
A proper ground plane for the transmitting antenna is essential in order for this to effectively radiate power into the air. When applying RF energy to the whip antenna, the presence of the aforementioned ground plane immediately creates a capacitance between the whip antenna and the ground plane. This capacitance will vary with frequency hence the impedance of the whip antenna as seen from the transmitter will vary with the frequency range over which the transmitter is operated.
As an illustration of the impedance variation with frequency of a transmitting antenna refer to below table listing the impedance as measured on a 6, 7 and 8 m whip antenna respectively with a 2 m feed line.

Antennas
Function of the Antenna Tuning Unit (ATU) The MF/HF transmitter power amplifier (PA) provides a fixed output impedance of 50 ohms over its operating frequency range to which the load (the antenna) should be matched (i.e. load should prefer-ably be 50 ohms also) in order for the transmitter to deliver its full power output to the load. However, with the varying impedance of an antenna, as described above such a condition may only be met at one or - at best - a few specific frequencies. On the remaining frequencies within the transmission band the varying mismatch between the transmitter fixed output impedance and the different impedance of the antenna at any given frequency will result in reduced RF power delivered to the antenna – in worst case hardly any power at all - if the antenna was connected directly to the transmitter.To overcome the frequency dependant mismatch between the transmitter output impedance and the antenna (load) impedance, the ATU is put into the antenna circuit to provide variable compensation counteracting the varying impedance of the antenna, the end result of which is the “transformation” of this into a “fixed” app. 50ohms load, as “seen” by the transmitter.The compensation is achieved mainly through the introduction of an induction in series with the antenna circuit, the value of which will create a resonance circuit at the given frequency. Hence, depending on the impedance of the antenna (i.e. the transmission frequency) a suitable combination of inductors from a bank of inductors in the ATU, are selected through of a number of relays, the activation of which is controlled by the ATU processor during the tuning process.
MF/HF ATUFor the impedance of e.g. the Comrod AT82 transmitting antenna of 5-j800 ohms at 2 MHz, as stated by the manufacturer, the ATU will easily tune to the impedance of this antenna system - in fact, the array of coils in the ATU tuning circuitry allows tuning all the way down to the impedance of 4-j1060 ohms of this antenna system at 1.6 MHz. A slightly shorter antenna system might be used at the possible sacrifice of the ability to tune at the extreme low end of the frequency band below 2 MHz.The impedance of the antenna system is however, influenced by any nearby metallic objects such as vsl's superstructure and/or nearby metal poles/masts or stays/wires. Consequently, in order not to alter the impedance of the antenna system which may eventually cause difficulties for the ATU to match the resulting antenna system impedance, the transmitting antenna should be kept at a distance of no less than 4 m from any such objects. Similarly goes for the feed wire connecting the ATU to the antenna that this should be kept at a minimum of 1 m distance from metallic objects.It should be noted that even though the ATU will tune to the mentioned antenna system length, the effective radiated power (i.e. the efficiency of the antenna) in the low frequency end will suffer as com-pared to the use of a longer antenna system of recommended electrical length 10-18 m.
Antenna system installation in practiceAs will be noted on subject of the impedance figures in above table covering three different lengths of Comrod transmitter antennas, the measurements were made with the antenna raised on a 2 m steel pipe over a flat steel roof (ground plane) and a 2 m feed line. This implies that the measured impedance is in fact that of the actual antenna (electrical) length plus additional 2 m. The electrical length of the 8 m bracket mount (side fed) Comrod transmitter antenna is 6.8 m resulting in a total electrical length of the antenna system for which above the impedance figures are valid, of 8.8 m.

The connection to the transmitting antenna is by a single ended wire - the feed line - connecting from the ATU top connector. As is evident from above this feed line adds to the electrical length of the antenna (when correctly installed), thus in effect increasing the efficiency of the antenna. This further implies that the longer the feed line the bet-ter the efficiency of the antenna system consisting of transmitting antenna and the feed line.For direct addition of feed line length to antenna electrical length the feed line should be vertically installed as an extension downwards of the transmitting antenna. In practice, where the ATU must be placed between the feed line and the ground plane (steel deck), the direct vertical installation of the feed wire may be difficult in terms of total height. This may partly be accounted for by allowing the feed wire installed at an angle of between 45 and 60 degrees with the horizontal plane. Installing the feed wire at lower angles rather than increasing the efficiency of the antenna installation will create a capacitance to the ground plane decreasing the efficiency of the antenna.
GroundingAn equally important issue in the MF/HF system's ability to tune is the proper grounding of the entire system - and this goes for every component from the cable screens and -connectors to the equipment’s bonding to the ground plane.Failure to make sure that cable screens and connectors are tied properly together making good uninterrupted screening to equipment ground potential makes the installation more vulnerable to HF radiation. Increasing antenna length reduces antenna current which in turn reduces the risk of unwanted radiation into the equipment. Hence, a longer antenna may appear to solve a tuning problem which may in fact has its origin elsewhere.
Retrofit installationsEspecially in retrofit situations caution to the adequate grounding should be observed especially when installing the ATU. Often times several years of paint have been applied to the area where the ATU is installed and only the exposure of clean bare metal at the grounding point will provide a sufficient bonding to ground potential/hull.Before the re-use of existing coaxial cabling etc. is decided these should be inspected for any corrosion and/or water ingress. Any water ingress in a cable immediately calls for a new cable to be installed.Any corrosion at the cable ends/connectors must be cut to clean material. If not possible due to limited excess length of existing cable, cable should be replaced.

2.5.4 DSC watch receiver antennaThe DSC watch receiver antenna may be an active or a passive type.The antenna should be erected well in the clear and kept away as far as possible from electrical equip-ment in order to minimize noise. Electrical installation such as cable braiding and instruments in the vicinity of the antenna should be earthed effectively, and the instruments in question should be fitted with noise-interference suppression devices, effective in the range 0.1 to 30 MHz. The antenna feed-in should be coaxial cable.In case of a passive antenna the feed-in should be as short as possible, especially in the case of short antennas. The recommended antenna length is 7-30 meters. If a long coax cable is necessary an im-pedance matching transformer should be inserted at the antenna or an active antenna should be used.DC supply voltage for an active antenna is available at the DSC RX antenna connector. The supply voltage is +12 V for supply currents up to 20 mA. The short circuit current is limited to 2 mA to allow passive antennas with matching transformers to be connected directly.

Position and time information
2.8 Position and time information2.8.1 Connection of Navigation Equipment
Navigation equipment complying with the NMEA 0183/IEC 61162-1 standard may be connected for automatic position and time updating. Connection is made to the NMEA+/NMEA- connections in the Control Unit ACC connector or the NMEA+/NMEA- connections in the Transceiver Unit AUX connector. The NMEA receive circuit consists of an optoisolator with a 470 ohms series resistor to insure current mode operation and a shunt diode to limit reverse bias as shown below. The circuit is isolated from ground.

B
The circuit operates with a minimum differential input voltage of 2 volts and draws less than 2 mA from the line at that voltage. The maximum voltage is 15 volts.
Interconnection between devices may be by means of two-conductor shielded twisted-pair cable. Multiple listeners may be connected to a single talker. The receivers are connected in parallel. The shield should be connected to the navigator chassis and should not be connected at any listener. However the shield should be continuous (unbroken) between all listeners.

Telex operation
2.9 Telex operationThe GMDSS Radiotelex Terminal is designed in accordance with relevant IMO, ITU and ETSI recom-mendation/specifications and has been approved for shipboard installations to be operating within the Global Maritime Distress and Safety System.
It supports world-wide ship-to-ship, shore-to-ship and ship-to-shore communication by utilizing the radiotelex protocols described in ITU- Rec. 625 to overcome the deficiencies of the HF medium. In case of two-way communication an ARQ (Automatic Repetition reQuest) algorithm for error correction is thus used, and when sending to more than one station an FEC (Forward Error Correction) algorithm is used.

Technical description3.1 Control Unit
The Control Unit consists of a main module 60-127962 and two sub modules: HMI module 60-127963 and the Intercon module 60-127964.
The main module consists of the digital part, i.e. the microprocessor, program FLASH, SDRAM, TU-CU Bus communication driver and Ethernet interface.The main module also consists of an analog part, i.e. the voltage regulators, the analog interface circuits and the analog output drivers (audio and light). The main module supports a build-in speaker and the connectivity of an external 8 ohm speaker. The module also controls the the graphical TFT color display (240x320 dots).
The HMI module contains a minor keyboard interface and encoders for volume and rotary knob.
The Intercon module contains the connectors for external interfaces.
3.2 Transceiver UnitThe Transceiver Unit consists of five modules. Three modules located in the base part of the unit: a control and interconnection module, a receiver/exciter signal path module, and a synthesizer and DSC RX module including master oscillator, and two modules are located in the door part of the unit: a power amplifier module including filter bank and a switched mode power supply. The main wiring is by ribbon cables with Micro MaTch connectors. RF signals are routed in coaxial cables using Taico, MCX and BNC connectors.
3.3 Control/Intercon module 60-127961The Control/Intercon module performs the digital portion of the transceiver functions requested by the Control Unit and contains interconnection circuits. The central part is the CPU. The program software is contained in Flash. The processor communicates with the CU via the CAN interface, with auxiliary equipment via an Ethernet interface and the ATU via a modem circuit. Internal communication is via the TU Bus. At power up the CPU boots the DSP.The transmitter is monitored via the PA Peak, Filter Peak and Filter Average detectors. An adjustable opto-isolated battery detector circuit monitors the battery voltage at the Supply Alarm connector and triggers an alarm when outside the set range. The DSP performs DSC modulator and dual DSC demo-dulator functions. The modulator output is through a transversal filter.The DSP performs the analogue control and audio switching allows loop back test.Audio circuits convert between unbalanced and balanced lines used by the TU-CU Bus.The Control/Intercon module stores the TU serial number option codes.
3.4 Synth. and DSC WR module 60-131332The Synthesiser part includes Master oscillator, dividers, 3.LO PLL and VCO, 2.LO filters and multiplier and 1.LO fractional N system as well as both 1. and 2. DSC LO PLL and VCO. The Master oscillator generates a17.8176 MHz reference signal which is distributed to the local Synthesizer LO sub-circuits.The appropriate frequencies for the MF/HF transceiver are then generated.
The DSC Watch receiver is built up as a Double Super Heterodyne Receiver using intermediate frequen-cies of 30.155 MHz and 455 kHz.
Chapter 3
Chapter 3: Technical description3-2 98-130890-D
After frequency conversion to 455 kHz the signal is fed to 455 kHz IF2 AGC amplifier before led to final detection / conversion to 1700 Hz.The Signal is filtered out by 1700 Hz Audio filter and afterwards led to limiting amplifier thus creating the DSC output for further processing.The Receiver Signal Path also includes antenna supply and receiver protection circuitry.A RF splitter divides the DSC antenna signal between the Watch Receiver and the Main Receiver, which uses the signal in telex mode.The Synthesizer used for the Watch Receiver consists of the following sub circuits:
• An integer type PLL is used for creating the DSC LO1 signal. The PLL resolution is 2 kHz and after division by 4 the final DSC LO1 resolution is 500 Hz. Three separate VCO´ s are used for covering the necessary frequency range. A 14.85 MHz TCXO is used for reference for the PLL.• A doubler Circuit submitted to the 14,85 MHz reference signal is used for DSC LO2 signal thus creating 29.70 MHz.• A 14.6144 MHz TCXO divided by 32 thus creating 456.7 kHz is used for DSC LO3 signal.
3.5 RX/EX signal path module 60-122880The RX signal path includes protection, pre-selection, mixers, IF amplifiers, filter bank, demodulator, squelch and audio. The RX signal path has Automatic Gain Control. The RX signal path performs the handling of the received antenna signal and delivers an AF signal, via the Control/Intercon module where the AF signal is converted from an unbalanced to a balanced signal, to the Control Unit.
The RX signal path also includes a DSC receiver signal path, which uses the MF/HF signal path, until the last down conversion. DSC part includes a mixer, base band filter and hard limiter. During DSC reception, the DSC part overrules the normal MF/HF reception.
The EX signal path includes AF compressor, modulator, filter bank, mixers and EX output amplifiers. The EX signal path has Automatic Loop Control. The EX signal path generates the modulated RF signal, adjusted to correct level - ALC adjusted signal, to the Power Amplifier.
The RX / EX signal path is controlled by the Control/Intercon module and receives its injection signal from the Synth./DSC WR module.
3.6 PA and Filters module 60-122881The PA and Filters module includes PA drivers, PA-stage, protection circuits, bias circuits, key circuit and five low-pass filters with relays and relay drivers. The PA and Filters receive the modulated RF input signal from the RX/EX Signal Path and delivers the amplified and filtered output signal to the TX/RX connector via a receive/transmit relay on the Control/Intercon module.
The low-pass filters remove the unwanted harmonic frequencies from the PA signal. The Filpeak and PAprotec outputs are monitoring signals for the Control/Intercon module. The driver and final power amplifier stages are galvanically isolated on input and output as they are supplied directly from the 24 V DC input. The selection of low-pass filter is controlled by the Control/Intercon module.
The PA filters cover the frequency ranges:
1.6 3.1 MHz
3.1 5.0 MHz
5.0 9.0 MHz
9.0 17.0 MHz
17.0 29.7 MHz

3.13 Antenna Tuning Unit3.13.1 ATU module 60-122883 (150 W/250 W)
The ATU module comprises tuning network, measuring system and micro-controller circuits. The ATU module matches the impedance of the antenna to 50 ohm in order to gain the best possible SWR. The ATU module communicates tuning process and frequency information with the transceiver unit. The tuning network consists of capacitor bank 1, capacitor bank 2, and an inductor bank. With these it is possible to form either an L-network or a p-network. The capacitor banks and inductor bank are built up by binary related capacitors respectively binary related coils. The setting of capacitance and inductance is accomplished by relays. A current detector at the antenna output terminal is used for measuring the antenna current for display at the Control Unit. To prevent overload of the relays, current detectors are incorporated in the inductor bank and in capacitor bank 2 and information fed back to the transceiver unit to decrease the output power if maximum permissible current is exceeded. To prevent overheating a temperature sensor is incorporated which at excessive temperatures commands the transceiver to reduce the output power.
In receive mode an RX-Amplifier included in the Antenna Tuning Unit is utilized, to improve the sensitivity of the system by providing 50 ohm impedance.

Chapter 3: Technical description98-130890-D
3.14 Power control and protection systemThe Transceiver has an automatic power level system, which ensures that optimum power is delivered to the Antenna. The Tune Sequence, which is automatically initiated when keying the transmitter after a frequency change, makes the Tuning Network of the Antenna Tuning Unit tune to the best obtaina-ble SWR. This is followed by an Automatic Level Control (ALC) adjustment according to the available power supply voltage, measuring the output current of the PA Filters (FILPEAK @ 10 Vp at full output), transmitting AM carrier, and setting the overall gain by the ALC voltage (MGC/ALC). It is now possible to transmit on full output power unless protection is activated or LOW POWER is selected. The output power is continuously monitored by the microprocessor, and is automatically adjusted during transmis-sion to provide reliable communication.
3.14.1PowerAmplifierProtectionThe protection of the power amplifier consists of V+I protection, SWR protection, and thermal protec-tion. When PA PEAK, the output signal of the voltage detector at the output of the power amplifier is exceeding 10 V the output power is reduced to a safe level. If the ALC loop is at fault, disconnected or responding too slow and the PA PEAK is exceeding 10V, the gain will be reduced in the power amplifier, operating as a local and independent PA protection. The thermal protection consist of a temperature sensor on the power amplifier and an average detector on the Control/Intercon module reducing the output power when the duty cycle of the transmitted signal exceeds 50% for more than 60 seconds. The available power supply voltage is measured in the DC power supply and the information is transferred to the Control/Intercon module. If the supply voltage is dropping the microprocessor will adjust the output power to keep distortion below the limits.
3.14.2 Antenna Tuning Unit ProtectionThe ATU is protected by several detectors all monitored by the ATU´s microprocessor, which calculates the SWR, temperature, maximum voltage and current. If these parameters are not below safe operating limits it requests for lower power.

Service4.1 Preventive maintenance
Due to the modern design of the transceiver preventive maintenance can be reduced to a minimum pro-vided the equipment is correctly installed. To ensure maximum performance and minimum repair trouble we recommend you to follow the below stated headlines for preventive maintenance.
1. The condition of the battery should be checked at frequent intervals. The battery must always be fully charged and should be topped up frequently with distilled water (liquid should be 5 to 10 mm above the plates).
2. Check the condition of antenna installation, ground connection and cables at regular intervals.
3. Keep antenna feed-through insulators clean and dry.
4. EnsurethatnoobjectsareobstructingthefreeairflowthroughthecoolingchannelsoftheTransceiver Unit and keep the units free of dust accumulation to prevent overheating.
5. For cleaning use a damp cloth. Sticky dirt may be removed using a cloth with a weak soap solution. Wipe off with a clean cloth.
4.2 CleaningtheAirfilter(500WTransciveronly)The transceiver unit uses 2 fans to cool all circuitry inside the unit.
