1 Installation This chapter describes how to install the TB7100 base station in a standard 19 inch rack or cabinet. It also provides some general information on safety precautions and site requirements. We recommend that you read the entire chapter before beginning the installation. 1.1 Personal Safety 1.1.1 Explosive Environments Warning!! 1.1.2 Do not operate TB7100 base station equipment near electrical blasting caps or in an explosive atmosphere.
We recommend you purchase an antistatic bench kit from a reputable manufacturer and install and test it according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Figure 1.1 shows a typical antistatic bench set-up. You can obtain further information on antistatic precautions and the dangers of electrostatic discharge (ESD) from standards such as ANSI/ESD S20.20-1999 or BS EN 100015-4 1994. Figure 1.
1.3 Regulatory Information 1.3.1 Distress Frequencies The 406 to 406.1MHz frequency range is reserved worldwide for use by Distress Beacons. Do not program transmitters to operate in this frequency range. 1.3.2 FCC Compliance1 This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the condition that this device does not cause harmful interference. 1.3.3 Unauthorised Modifications Any modifications you make to this equipment which are not authorised by Tait Electronics Ltd.
1.4 Environmental Conditions 1.4.1 Operating Temperature Range The operating temperature range of the TB7100 base station is –30°C to +60°C (–22°F to +140°F) ambient temperature. Ambient temperature is defined as the temperature of the air at the intake to the cooling fans. 1.4.2 Humidity The humidity should not exceed 95% relative humidity through the specified operating temperature range. 1.4.3 Dust and Dirt For uncontrolled environments, the level of airborne particulates must not exceed 100µg/m3.
1.6 Recommended Tools It is beyond the scope of this manual to list every tool that an installation technician should carry. However, the following tools are specifically required for installing the TB7100 base station: ■ Phillips #2 tip screwdriver used to connect a DC power supply to the DC input terminals of the TB7100.
To allow enough cooling airflow through a cabinet mounted base station we recommend the following: ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ a distance of 5cm minimum clearance to any obstruction to the front of the tray. an open area of at least 50 cm2 (8 in2) per tray of ventilation slots or louvres in front of the air intakes for the fans for each tray; for example ten 6x85mm (0.25x3.3in) slots will allow the recommended airflow. a distance of 10cm minimum clearance to any obstruction to the rear of the tray.

1.8 Installing the Base Station 1.8.1 Unpacking the Equipment Unpacking the TB7100 Base Station 10 1. Cut the tape securing the flaps at the top of the carton and fold them flat against the sides. 2. Rotate the carton carefully onto its side and then onto its top, ensuring that none of the flaps is trapped underneath. 3. Slide the carton upwards over the foam cushions and lift it away. Remove the cushion from the bottom of the base station. 4.

2 Connection This chapter provides information on all the inputs and outputs on the TB7100 base station. 2.1 Overview of Inputs and Outputs This section identifies the main input and output connections for the TB7100 base station. The figure below identifies the connections at the front and rear of the base station. Refer to the following sections in this chapter for more details on these connections. Figure 2.
You must connect the DC supply from the battery to the base station via a readily accessible disconnect device such as a fuse or DC-rated circuit breaker with the appropriate rating, as shown in the table below. The DC input leads should be of a suitable gauge to ensure less than 0.2V drop at maximum load over the required length of lead. Nominal Supply Voltage 13.8VDC Input Voltage Range Circuit Breaker/ Fuse Rating 10VDC to 16VDC Recommended Wire Gaugea 8AWG / 8.35mm2 20A a. For a length of 1.
2.4 Base Station Connections 2.4.1 Rear Panel The rear panel has the serial interface, the system interface, the DC input and the RF in and out connectors. Each of these is described in this section.
Serial Interface Serial Interface b c d e f g h i j external view DC Input DC Input 2 _ +1 The serial interface connector provides a data connection to the TB7100 base station. The pin allocations for the 9-way female D-range serial interface connector are listed in the table below.
2.4.2 Front Panel The front panel has the user interface providing the programming/ microphone connector. Programming/ Microphone The TB7100 programming and calibration applications are connected to the base station via the programming/microphone socket. This socket is an 8-way female RJ-45 connector. Use the T2000-A19 programming lead and a TMAA20-04 adapter to connect your programming computer to the base station.
