MAIN SCREEN Below is the main working screen used to configure the channel card settings. The primary fields addressed are: • Communication Connection • Time Out Timer • Mode Setting • Key On Delay • Key Off Delay • Attenuation • Setting a Frequency 50289‐BA‐8‐PA N:\netdrive\FCC\User Manual.
COMMUNICATION CONNECTION This software automatically checks the condition of its communication with the intended channel. Each message is acknowledged and displayed in the message box at the bottom of the screen. If the software does not receive a response from the channel, a warning message is displayed, “NO RESPONSE FROM UNIT”. 50289‐BA‐8‐PA N:\netdrive\FCC\User Manual.
TIME OUT DURATION The time‐out duration is how long a channel can be held open (keyed on) for a retransmission. An inadvertent or intentional “key and hold” action without any voice communication will not disable the channel because of this feature. The time‐out duration can be up set from 1 second to 99 seconds 1 second intervals. The time‐out duration can be disabled by setting it to 00, when disabled, the channel will key continuously with the presence of a received signal.
MODE SETTING The channel mode may be set to either INHIBIT, CONTINUOUS, CARRIER DETECT or optional TONE DETECT. In the Inhibit mode, the channel is off and will not key on. In the continuous mode, CW, the channel is always keyed and continuously transmitting. In the carrier detect mode, CD, the channel is keyed only when the incoming signal strength is above the factory set threshold level. Normal operation will be in CD mode; continuous mode is normally used for testing.
KEY ON DELAY The key on delay is a delay duration between the detection of carrier detect and the transmitter key on. The key on delay duration can be up set from 0 to 99 milliseconds 1 millisecond intervals. SETTING KEY ON DELAY To set a time‐out time, click on the text box “Key On Delay” and enter the desired delay up to 99 milliseconds then click “Send Button” next to the box. To verify the setting, click on the “Read Button” and the display will be updated with the channel setting. 50289‐BA‐8‐PA N:\net
KEY OFF DELAY The key off delay is a delay duration between the release of carrier detect and the transmitter key off. The key off delay duration can be up set from 0 to 99 milliseconds 1 millisecond intervals. SETTING KEY OFF DELAY To set a time‐out time, click on the text box “Key Off Delay” and enter the desired delay up to 99 milliseconds then click “Send Button” next to the box. To verify the setting, click on the “Read Button” and the display will be updated with the channel setting.
ATTENUATION With high RF receive levels, an input attenuator can be set 0 to 15dB in 1dB steps. SETTING ATTENUATION To set Attenuation: click the function window Attenuation on the main screen. Click on the scroll bar next to the text box, a scroll down list of available attenuation settings. Double Click the on desired setting. 50289‐BA‐8‐PA N:\netdrive\FCC\User Manual.
SETTING A FREQUENCY The 8 Channel BDA is shipped with 8 Uplink frequencies and 8 Downlink frequencies. The user can program any card to any of these 8 specified frequencies. To set frequency click the function window Frequency Setting on the main screen. Click on the scroll bar next to the text box, a scroll down list of available frequency settings. Double Click the on desired setting. 50289‐BA‐8‐PA N:\netdrive\FCC\User Manual.
FCC COMPLIANCE AND RF EXPOSURE INFORMATION This product is certified by the FCC as compliant with CFR.47 Part 90. Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the manufacturer could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
