SECTION 1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION 1.1 INTRODUCTION This publication provides operating and installation information on the TDFM-600/6000 airborne transceiver. (The exact model number depends on which and how many RF modules are installed.) 1.2 DESCRIPTION The TDFM-600/6000 series of transceivers are airborne multiband radios capable of conventional FM, P25, Smartnet and Smartzone trunking systems and any other feature supported by the Motorola XTS3000 portable radio.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 2.1 GENERAL The TDFM-600/6000 transceiver is designed to operate in the same fashion as the Motorola XTS-3000 portable radio. The display has been rearranged into a 2 line display from 4 and some of the numeric keys also double as function keys. Two or three XTS-3000 RF modules are installed in the unit. The display is showing the activity of one module at a time selected by pressing the desired knob. The knobs have multiple functions including volume, channel, display dimmer.
knobs are rotary encoders which turn endlessly which means their actual position is not important. Each knob also has a push button incorporated in it so you can press the knob as well as turn it. Pressing a different knob will cause the display and keyboard to switch to the band associated with that knob. The knob will start out as a volume control. Pressing the same knob again will change its function to act as the channel/talkgroup selector depending on how that band is programmed.

Switch on the transceiver as described in 2.3. Select the desired band by pressing the appropriate knob. Select the same band on the audio panel. Press the knob again so that MODE shows up on the top right of the display. Rotate the knob until the desired mode, channel or talk group is selected. Press the knob until VOL is again shown on the display. You can adjust the volume by waiting until a signal is received or by pressing F1 (factory programmed for monitor function) and adjusting the rotary knob.
Unpack the equipment and check for any damage that may have occurred during transit. Save hte original shipping container for returns due to damage or warranty claims. Check that each item on the packing slip has been shipped in the container. 3.3 INSTALLATION The TDFM-600/6000 Transceiver is designed to be dzus mounted and should be installed in conjunction with an IN-600 installation kit. See figure 3-1 for an outline drawing of the unit with dimensions to facilitate the installation. 3.

The main ground is internally connected to the chassis. 3.9 MAIN POWER +28 VDC - PINS 2 AND 15 Both pins should be connected to +28 volts DC +/- 15%. 3.
3.15 LH DATA, SB9600 BUSY, OPTB+, CTS OUT AND BOOT DIN - PINS 18 THROUGH 22 These pins are used for programming or updating the transceiver using Motorola Radio Service Software (RSS) and are generally left unconnected. However, if it is desirable to update the radio without removing it from the aircraft, these lines can be run to a 25 pin D male connector located on the panel where a laptop computer can plug in.
