A Installation This section contains the following topics: • Mobile stations on page 352 • Fixed stations on page 368 ENVOY™ TRANSCEIVER REFERENCE MANUAL 351
INSTALLATION MOBILE STATIONS Mobile stations Overview of mobile stations A mobile station typically consists of a transceiver, a 12 V DC power supply (battery), an antenna, control and accessory devices, ancillary equipment, and appropriate connecting cables. The antenna is connected to the transceiver by coaxial cable. An automatic tuning antenna also requires a control cable connected to the transceiver.
INSTALLATION MOBILE STATIONS Installing the transceiver in a mobile station NOTE: All antennas are supplied completely assembled and ready for installation. On receiving your Envoy™ Transceiver, check the contents against the packing list. Make sure that all equipment itemised on the packing list is present and that there is no damage to the equipment before you start installing the system.
INSTALLATION MOBILE STATIONS • ensures correct connection and operation • provides easy access for maintenance WARNING: The units of the mobile station should only be mounted on structural components of the vehicle body and not to dress panels. The areas used for mounting may require reinforcement.
INSTALLATION MOBILE STATIONS The cabling must be in a position that: • is away from operator’s feet • is secured and concealed as much as possible • ensures the control cables are separated from the DC power cable by at least 200 mm (8 in), except over short distances where they may pass through the same hole in a bulkhead • is secured behind protective metalwork (only if the cables run under the vehicle) Keep cables in the engine compartment away from: • heat, for example, exhaust, air-conditioni
INSTALLATION MOBILE STATIONS Table 33: Battery maintenance (cont.) Check for... Comment Tight electrical connections Check for defective cables, loose connections, corrosion, cracked cases or covers, loose hold-down clamps, and deformed or loose terminal posts.
INSTALLATION MOBILE STATIONS Connecting the power supply Power and control cabling The connection from the transceiver is made directly to the battery/power source via a twin core cable. The cable should: • be of adequate electrical capacity • be fused in the positive leg at or near the battery terminal • not be used to provide power connections to any other equipment The cable from the battery must be able to carry the full supply current, so it must be of correct size.
INSTALLATION MOBILE STATIONS CAUTION: Ensure the power cable does not run together with, or parallel to, the control cables for any long distance. Where wiring passes through any bulkhead, provide appropriate grommets to prevent insulation being cut. Terminate the transceiver power cable with connector lugs. Secure the power cable using cable ties. Test that the power supply and transceiver work correctly.
INSTALLATION MOBILE STATIONS Electrical protection The transceiver is provided with adequate internal protection. The transceiver supply is also fitted with adequate protection. If a battery is used, Codan recommends that a suitable cartridge fuse (32 A, Codan part number 15-00711) is fitted in the positive wire, close to the battery. This protects the power cable from risk of fire if damaged insulation should touch surrounding metalwork.
INSTALLATION MOBILE STATIONS Noise reduction In some cases, noise can be reduced by connecting the case of the transceiver directly to earth. If an improvement is noticed, the existing functional RF earth may be inadequate and need improvement. Where the antenna and transceiver must be installed in close proximity, directly earthing the transceiver may be necessary to eliminate RF feedback. Troubleshooting the mobile installation Common problems caused by incorrect installation are listed in Table 34.
INSTALLATION MOBILE STATIONS Table 34: Possible faults in the installation (cont.) Symptom Possible cause Action Voltage drop in the fuse, the control leads, or the battery Voltage less than 12 V DC Check the voltage; it must be greater than 12 V DC on transmit.
INSTALLATION MOBILE STATIONS Tuning a mobile antenna A mobile antenna uses an automatic tuner to make the physically small whip appear larger to the transceiver. To tune a mobile antenna: Scroll to the channel on which you want to transmit, then press PTT to tune. Troubleshooting the mobile antenna Common problems caused by incorrect installation are listed in Table 35. WARNING: Before using the antenna system see the safety information provided.
INSTALLATION MOBILE STATIONS Table 35: Possible faults in the mobile antenna installation (cont.) Symptom Possible cause Action Poor radiation efficiency Poor installation Improve the earth connection. Incorrect positioning of the antenna Check the position of the antenna, ensuring that the vehicle body is not acting as a shield. With an SWR meter in place, alter the position of the antenna to achieve best forward-radiated power. Check that the problem does not move to other channels.
INSTALLATION MOBILE STATIONS Radio frequency interference (mobile lstations only) Types of noise Engine noise and electrical accessories often cause RF interference.
INSTALLATION MOBILE STATIONS Noise suppression Noise interference is suppressed by: • shielding/screening, for example, the addition of a physical metallic shield between a noise source and the transceiver • decoupling to earth, for example, a filter capacitor on the alternator • providing RF filtering • maintaining all electrical equipment and connections • re-routing wiring, for example, separating the antenna feed wire from the battery cable Most commercial and passenger vehicles are not easil
INSTALLATION MOBILE STATIONS Testing the installation Following correct installation, the station should be tested for correct operation prior to use in the HF communication network. Testing involves: • measuring the SWR • carrying out station-to-station on-air testing Standing wave ratio WARNING: Before using the antenna system see the safety information provided.
INSTALLATION MOBILE STATIONS On-air testing On-air testing gives a better indication of antenna operation, particularly if the operator is familiar with the signal strengths normally received within an HF communication network. Certain types of test calls can be used to test the installation. With on-air testing, the difference in equipment between stations must be taken into account when determining the quality of the transmission.
INSTALLATION FIXED STATIONS Fixed stations Overview of fixed stations A fixed station typically consists of a transceiver, an AC transceiver supply connected directly to the mains, an antenna, control and accessory devices, ancillary equipment, and appropriate connecting cables. The transceiver is connected to the DC output lead of the transceiver supply. The antenna is connected to the transceiver by coaxial cable. NOTE: A fixed station may also be powered via a battery system or solar power system.
INSTALLATION FIXED STATIONS Antenna tuners in a fixed station The purpose of an antenna tuner is to adjust the wavelength of the antenna according to the selected frequency. This ensures an optimum load to the transceiver so that it achieves maximum efficiency. A tuner is usually installed when a single antenna is operating on a range of frequencies, for example, the long wire and vertical whip antennas, and when there is limited space available to install additional antennas.
INSTALLATION FIXED STATIONS Installing the transceiver in a fixed station On receiving your Envoy™ Transceiver, check the contents against the packing list. Make sure that all equipment itemised on the packing list is present and that there is no damage to the equipment before you start installing the system. If anything is missing or damaged, please contact your nearest Codan office immediately to obtain the correct warranty service procedures.
INSTALLATION FIXED STATIONS Power supply WARNING: All installations should be checked by a qualified technician before power is applied to the transceiver. Power can be provided by either: • a suitable transceiver supply connected directly to the AC mains • a 12 V DC lead acid battery CAUTION: Ensure that the power supply to operate your station is 12 V DC. AC mains power supply Codan provides a 3020 Transceiver Supply, which can be used with transceivers operating on speech and data communications.
INSTALLATION FIXED STATIONS Table 37: Battery maintenance (cont.) Check for... Comment Tight electrical connections Check for defective cables, loose connections, corrosion, cracked cases or covers, loose hold-down clamps, and deformed or loose terminal posts.
INSTALLATION FIXED STATIONS Wiring techniques Correct wiring techniques can reduce voltage drop. These include choosing good connection points and using terminal lugs correctly. WARNING: It is essential for every mains-energised installation to have an effective connection to the protective earth of the power distribution system in case the basic insulation fails. WARNING: Without protective earthing, dangerous voltages may be applied to accessible metal parts.
INSTALLATION FIXED STATIONS Protecting the cables Physical protection Protect all the cables from sharp edges and mechanical abrasions. Cables that pass through panels or walls must be protected by grommets. Such holes need only be large enough to allow the end of the cable with the smaller connector to pass through. Removing a connector should be a last resort. Externally, the cable and connectors need to be weatherproofed using self-amalgamating rubber tape.
INSTALLATION FIXED STATIONS An adequate earthing system is necessary for: • electrical safety • static drain • noise reduction Related links: Electrical safety on page 375 Static drain on page 375 Noise reduction on page 360 Electrical safety You must use correct wiring techniques to provide electrical safety for the fixed station.
INSTALLATION FIXED STATIONS Troubleshooting the fixed installation Common problems caused by incorrect installation are listed in Table 38. Table 38: Possible faults in the installation Symptom Possible cause Action Tuning fails Inadequate earthing Improve the earth of the transceiver by connecting an earth strap (braid or copper strip) from the earth screw of the transceiver to the earth point, keeping the strap as short as possible.
INSTALLATION FIXED STATIONS Related links: Antenna supports in a fixed station on page 369 Earthing the antenna on page 378 Earthing the tuner on page 379 Standing wave ratio on page 366 Earthing the transceiver in a fixed station on page 374 Checking a battery on page 355 Installing the antenna WARNING: The antenna should be installed by a suitably qualified technician, to the relevant standards and approvals.
INSTALLATION FIXED STATIONS Earthing the antenna For a fixed antenna, requirements of the earth plane depend upon the type of antenna selected and the location of the antenna, that is, on open ground or on a roof-top. When installing an antenna on open ground, earth conductivity is often insufficient to provide adequate earthing, especially on well-drained sandy, rocky or loamy soils. An earth plane should be used to provide adequate earthing of the antenna.
INSTALLATION FIXED STATIONS Connecting the antenna to the tuner When routing the antenna wire to the tuner: • keep the length of the antenna wire inside the building to a minimum and away from metal objects • a minimum hole diameter of 100 mm (4 in) is necessary for wiring that passes through a wall or roof, and the wiring should pass through the centre of this hole using a grommet or other suitable insulator • wiring must not come into contact with guttering, eaves etc, upon entering or leaving a bui
INSTALLATION FIXED STATIONS Troubleshooting the fixed antenna Common problems caused by incorrect installation are listed in Table 39. WARNING: Before using the antenna system see the safety information provided. WARNING: Poor installation can damage the antenna beyond repair. Table 39: Possible faults in the fixed antenna installation Symptom Possible cause Action Antenna fails to tune certain channels The antenna and/or tuner may not be earthed correctly Improve the earth connection.
INSTALLATION FIXED STATIONS Table 39: Possible faults in the fixed antenna installation (cont.) Symptom Possible cause Action SWR is bad The SWR measurement may have been performed at the RFU rather than at the antenna Ensure the SWR meter is connected to the coaxial line at the base of the antenna to achieve an accurate reading. The antenna may not be positioned correctly Check that the position of the antenna corresponds to the desired direction of communication.
INSTALLATION FIXED STATIONS Standing wave ratio WARNING: Before using the antenna system see the safety information provided. An SWR meter measures the forward and reflected powers between a transceiver and its antenna load, and represents these in a ratio called the SWR. To ensure correct installation, the power and SWR assessment should be performed with the transceiver working in its normal antenna system. Press TUNE to see the SWR, then press PTT to manually tune the antenna.
INSTALLATION FIXED STATIONS On-air testing On-air testing gives a better indication of antenna operation, particularly if the operator is familiar with the signal strengths normally received within an HF communication network. Certain types of test calls can be used to test the installation. With on-air testing, the difference in equipment between stations must be taken into account when determining the quality of the transmission.

B HF radio transmission This section contains the following topics: • HF radio transmission on page 386 • Frequency, distance and time of day on page 388 • Channels, HF networks and scanning on page 389 • Etiquette for the use of HF radio on page 390 ENVOY™ TRANSCEIVER REFERENCE MANUAL 385
HF RADIO TRANSMISSION HF RADIO TRANSMISSION HF radio transmission The HF band is the range of frequencies between 3 and 30 MHz. HF transceivers usually cover a frequency range of 1.6 to 30 MHz. Codan HF transceivers transmit on single sidebands. This reduces the power required to send HF signals, and increases the number of channels available within the HF spectrum. HF transceivers are primarily used for long-range communication where distances of 3000 km (1800 mi) and more are possible.
HF RADIO TRANSMISSION HF RADIO TRANSMISSION Sky wave The sky wave is the most important form of HF propagation. The HF radio wave is transmitted toward the sky and is reflected by the ionosphere to a distant receiver on earth. The reflective properties of the ionosphere change throughout the day, from season to season, and yearly.
HF RADIO TRANSMISSION FREQUENCY, DISTANCE AND TIME OF DAY Frequency, distance and time of day The extent to which an HF radio wave is reflected depends on the frequency that is used. If the frequency is too low, the signal is absorbed by the ionosphere. If the frequency is too high, the signal passes straight through the ionosphere. Within the HF band, low frequencies are generally considered to be in the range of 2 to 10 MHz. High frequencies are above 10 MHz.
HF RADIO TRANSMISSION CHANNELS, HF NETWORKS AND SCANNING Channels, HF networks and scanning For transmission and reception to occur over HF, the transceivers must be able to tune to the same frequency. This may be defined in a channel, or the transceiver may be free-tuned to this frequency. A transceiver that has a range of frequencies on which it can receive a call should have scanning switched on so that all of these frequencies are monitored for calling activity.
HF RADIO TRANSMISSION ETIQUETTE FOR THE USE OF HF RADIO Etiquette for the use of HF radio There is a standard procedure for communicating over HF radio. Before you begin transmitting, switch off scanning, select a channel, then press PTT to initiate tuning of the antenna. Listen to the channel that you are going to use and ensure that there is no voice or data communication taking place. You may need to wait until the channel is clear, or select another channel.

For interoperability with other transceivers, the Envoy™ Transceiver recognises special AMD messaging syntax included at the beginning of an AMD message sent in an HF network with a privacy mode set to Plain. The transceiver accepts and processes the syntax shown in Table 53.
CALL TYPES AND FEATURES SENDING RECOGNISED KEYWORDS WITH A CALL Sending recognised keywords with a call The keywords listed in Table 54 may be added in a Message call or an AMD message sent with a call. These keywords are recognised by the firmware in the Envoy™ Transceiver. The firmware expands the keyword by inserting the current information associated with the keyword into the message. NOTE: $GPS and $GPS+ keywords require the GPS Call option to be installed.
CALL TYPES AND FEATURES SENDING RECOGNISED KEYWORDS WITH A CALL If you have the MIL-STD-188-141B ALE option installed and the ALE Selective Message entry set to Enabled, you are able to send a message with a call. If you enter the following message... $GPS+ ...the called station displays the current GPS information for the calling station. For example: 8958.041 N 13841.234 E +0.0M 101622 (A) NOTE: The transceiver checks the length of the expanded message before transmission.

DEFINITIONS GLOSSARY Glossary This term... Means... ALL call An ALE address syntax used to broadcast to any station that is tuned to the same frequency in an ALE/CALM HF network, or scanning the channels in the scan table(s) associated with the HF network. The ALL call uses a special address syntax @?@ that ALE stations recognise. A selective ALL call addresses a subset of stations. A multiple selective ALL call addresses these subsets within the one call.
DEFINITIONS GLOSSARY This term... Means... Channel Test call A call that enables you to test the quality of a channel in a Codan Selcall HF network. It is sometimes referred to as a Beacon call. If you have the MIL-STD-188-141B ALE option installed, a Channel Test call may be made in an ALE/CALM HF network to replace information in the LQA database, and to perform a manual sounding operation.
DEFINITIONS GLOSSARY This term... Means... HF network Two or more stations that use the same channels and call system to communicate. hot key A key on the handset or desk console that is pre-programmed with a macro that enables you to perform a task quickly. address The HF transceiver equivalent of a telephone number. Your station self address is used by other stations to call you, and it is sent when you make calls to identify you as the caller.
DEFINITIONS GLOSSARY This term... Means... MIL-STD-188-141B ALE An option that enables you to make ALE ALL, ANY, Group Selective, NET and Wildcard calls, and perform LQA reporting and AMD messaging. mobile station A station that is usually mounted in a vehicle or easily transportable. It consists of a transceiver, a power supply, an antenna, control and accessory devices, ancillary equipment, and appropriate connecting cables.
DEFINITIONS GLOSSARY This term...

LICENCE INFORMATION OPEN SOURCE COMPONENTS For example, if you distribute copies of the library, whether gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that we gave you. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source code. If you link other code with the library, you must provide complete object files to the recipients, so that they can relink them with the library after making changes to the library and recompiling it.
LICENCE INFORMATION OPEN SOURCE COMPONENTS Although the Lesser General Public License is Less protective of the users' freedom, it does ensure that the user of a program that is linked with the Library has the freedom and the wherewithal to run that program using a modified version of the Library. The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification follow. Pay close attention to the difference between a "work based on the library" and a "work that uses the library".
LICENCE INFORMATION OPEN SOURCE COMPONENTS 2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Library or any portion of it, thus forming a work based on the Library, and copy and distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions: a) The modified work must itself be a software library. b) You must cause the files modified to carry prominent notices stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
LICENCE INFORMATION OPEN SOURCE COMPONENTS 4. You may copy and distribute the Library (or a portion or derivative of it, under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange.
