1.5.2 Model Designation To correctly identify your ParagonPD unit, check its catalog number label located on the rear of the BDLCPD adjacent to the power connector. The next digit designates the RF Bandwidth used: For the 83X band: - 0 = 25 kHz full channel, 2.5 ppm* - 5 = 12.5 kHz half channel, 2.5 ppm* - 6 = 12.5 kHz half channel, 2.0 ppm* (U.S. model only) For the 85X band: - 0 = 25 kHz full channel, 1 ppm* - 5 = 12.5 kHz half channel, 1 ppm* For the 88X band: - 0 = 25 kHz full channel, 1.
1.6 The cabinetry may then be supplied in one of several custom rack-mount configurations that may also include fan, backhaul modems, duplexer/filters/combiners, and ancillary equipment. If damage has occurred to the equipment during shipment, file a claim with the carrier immediately. Radio Series I or II System-engineered installations use one of two complements of ParagonPD radio modules.

Scrape away paint if needed to ensure clean contact. 3. Apply anti-corrosion compound where paint scraping was done. 4. Ensure by testing continuity that a secure electrical and mechanical connection is achieved.
2.3.2 BDLCPD assembly Power 2.4.2 Cabling and Connection The BDLCPD assembly uses a standard 120 VAC power cord. Plug this cord to the rear power outlet shown in Figure 6. 1- Route good quality 50-ohm double-shielded coaxial cable(s) (e.g. RG-214 or Heliax) from the selected antenna position(s) to the ParagonPD Radio assembly. 2- Terminate the RX-1 and RX-2 cable ends at the Receiver modules rear position with an N-type connector.
2.6 3.1.1.1 Checking out Normal Operation Receiver module The RX1 and RX2 receivers’ use identical front panel controls and indicators. These are: ® 1- Check that power is applied. 2- Check Radio assembly lights for proper operation as per section 3.1.1 3- Check for proper operation of the BDLCPD’s LEDs as per section 3.2.1.2. 4- Using the RIS program (described in section 4), and an in-line wattmeter, check forward & reflected power to confirm antenna installations.

applied but DC is not distributed to radio modules. To remove presence of voltage, disconnect both power cords. If the speaker panel needs to be removed, a mirror programming port connector is provided on both backplanes. Programming for Series I 800 MHz units is done via EPROM and is detailed in section 6.1. The RJ11 front port is covered (not used).
• • • • 3.2.1.1 This feature is exclusive to the Series II model. Series I model’s programming is done externally via EPROMs. DB-25M plug at PL1 (one side of the “Y” cable on each PCB) – used to supply the receive signal to the BDLCPD’s single “EXT.RADIO/TEST” DB-25F plug. Two channel-select DIP switches (SW1 and SW2) This feature is exclusive to the Series II model.
3.2.1.1.2.1 Clearing Errors for 55 seconds and turns its transmitter OFF. The TX LED in the RF group of indicators lights in red while test transmitting. Pressing PF1 while the 55 seconds test is in progress stops the test. At the end of test transmission, BDLCPD operation returns to normal and the RX LED lights in green (monitoring normal transmitter activity).
3.2.1.2.1 manually changed or until RESET is pressed or until power up. Radio Network Indicators The Radio Network LEDs are useful when troubleshooting as an indication of network activity. It can help isolate transmission problems.
FR FT RD TD Flow Control on Receive - the BDLCPD has received a flow control signal from the device connected to it. When it lights, BDLCPD has stopped sending data to the DTE. When LED goes out, the port terminal is again ready to receive data. LM RM LF UF ALARMS Receive Data - when lit, it shows that the Receive Data pin 3 on the RS-232 interface connector is active. Since all BDLCPD are configured as DCE, it means that the DTE is receiving data from the BDLCPD.
LF b) MSCP 19200 for multi-site installations One DA-15M connector: - DEV6 Digital I/O - not used One DB-25M connector: - EXT RADIO/TEST - connects to the Radio assembly (see Figure 15) Link Failure - when lit, indicates that the base station fails to receive an ACK for a packet sent and for all subsequent retries. Some data has possibly been lost. LF is not functional if all active ports are set to NAR mode.

6.3 Series II Radio Programming This procedure describes the steps needed to program the UHF & VHF model that uses the ParagonPD base station radios (half & full channels). 6.3.1 Recommended Items - - 486 PC or better, MS-Windows 3.
6.3.2 Module Programming Before starting programming, have a PC running MS-Windows © and the Tait PGM800Win software for Series II Base station. This program supports the use of a mouse but may be used without one if required. Keyboard access follows the conventional MS-Windows © method as briefly described below: - Press and hold the “Alt” key while pressing at the same time the relevant hotkey as indicated by an underlined letter on the menu command.

6.3.3 Channel Selection via DIP Switches The backplane-mounted DIP switch settings override the default channel programmed by PGM800Win. To set a default channel via the software, all DIP switches must be set to “OFF” (i.e. 00000000). When a switch is “Off”, its binary count is active; when a switch is “ON” its binary count is inactive. The various DIP switch combinations of ON or OFF make up a binary total, which identifies the channel number.
6.4 Series II Radio Tuning This section covers some basic radio tuning and verification for VHF (T83x-xx) and UHF (T85xxx) Series II base station modules. 6.4.1 Test Equipment - Digital multimeter & probes (e.g. Fluke 77) 1 HP 34330A Shunt 30A (UHF only, used for transmitter current measurement) Digital or analog calibrated Oscilloscope & scope probes (X1, X2 selectable) Calibrated COM-120B (.
6.4.2.2 Synthesizer Alignment Single channel: Connect the multimeter to the long lead of L1 in the VCO (this measures the synthesizer loop voltage). 1. T855 (UHF) Tune VCO trimmer C6 for a synthesizer loop voltage of 10V DC. 2. T835 (VHF). Tune VCO trimmer CV1 for a synthesizer loop voltage of 9VDC. Multiple channels: 1. T855 (UHF) Adjust the VCO loop to 10V using the middle channel. 2. T835 (VHF) Adjust the VCO loop to 9V using the middle frequency channel. 3.
d) Select Gen2 (Modulating tone fixed to 1KHz). All other Gen must be off. e) Set deviation to ±3.0KHz for full channel or ±1.5KHz for half channel radios. f) Use a X1 scope probe connected to IFR SINAD input and monitor the Discriminator O/P on the backplane at SK1 pin 6 (RX-audio1). Alternately, it is also possible to monitor at the receiver TP314 (T855) or at the receiver IC350 pin 7 (T835) 2. Lower the RF level to get a 12dB SINAD reading. Level must be better than -110dBm (including cable loss). 3.
6.4.2.6 RSSI Adjustment (VHF: T835) Note: This check is only recommended for Paragon/R model running DBA protocol 3.06.009 series or later. - Apply an on-channel signal from the RF generator at a level of -100dBm with deviation of ±3kHz (full channel) or ±1.5kHz (half channel) at 1kHz tone. Adjust RV320 (RSSI level) to give 4.5V RSSI output at RSSI test point (near of quad.
6.4.3 Exciter Module (T857 or T837) Note 1: Refer to Figure 33 (T857) and to Figure 35 (T837) for locating tuning controls and components. Note 2: When the synthesizer is unlocked, the front panel green LED called "Supply" will flash indicating that it needs re-tuning. Warning: The LED will also flash when the unit is in setup mode while connected to the PGM800win program. 6.4.3.1 Initial Setup 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Shut down power to the base station Prepare the multimeter to DC Volts.
2. Key the transmitter by pressing the front panel TX-Key button and measure the carrier output frequency. It should be within ±300 Hz. If it is not, adjust the TCXO to trim to meet the requirement, preferably within 100Hz. 6.4.3.4 Low-Frequency Balance Adjustment PGM800Win controls this adjustment. Electronic potentiometer (256 step) is used to allow channel adjustment of two-point modulation (Low freq. balance). 1.
6.4.3.5 Exciter Power Output 1. Apply the following settings to the IFR: - Receiver mode, Output T/R - IFR RX frequency to match the main radio TX frequency - IF Filter set to 30KHz - Select auto range in the Power reading window - Connect the coaxial cable from the IFR T/R to the Exciter output connector 2. Key the Exciter by pressing the module PTT button. The output power must be: - VHF (T837) = 800 mW ±200mW - UHF (T857) = 1W ±300mW 6.4.4 Power Amplifier Module (T859 or T839) 6.4.4.1 - 6.4.4.
