SECTION 2 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 2.1 GENERAL A 2 line display and a keypad and 2 or 3 rotary knobs provide the operator control of the 2 or 3 RF modules installed in the unit. The display is showing the activity of one RF module at a time, selected by pressing the desired knob. The knobs have multiple functions including volume, channel, display dimmer.
Figure 2-2 Front panel Controls – TDFM-636 Transceiver Only 2.3 POWER SWITCH To switch the transceiver on, press and hold the left most knob until the radio powers up. The display will show TECHNISONIC and the software version installed followed by the model number as determined by which RF modules are installed. The display will then show the normal display for band 1. To switch off the transceiver at any time, press and hold the left most knob for 2 seconds until the display shows OFF then release.
The function of the knobs for the unselected bands is always the volume control mode. The starting mode (when the band is selected) of the knob can be programmed in the configuration menu to be VOLUME or CHAN. 2.5 SOFT KEYS AND HOME The transceiver has three soft keys which assume the function shown above them on the display. The functions displayed depend on how the module was programmed with the radio service software (CPS)™. Functions can be different on a channel by channel basis as well.

2.12 DISPLAY The transceiver has a two line, 48 character LED display which gives information about the selected band. On the top line is shown the zone number, channel name and rotary knob function. The bottom line displays the soft key menu, the band selected, and the ESW/TSW condition. Also displayed are letters and symbols indicating scan, direct/repeater talk around, monitor, secure, priority and call. In addition to the character display, there are two LED indicators on the left.
2.14 CUSTOMER PROGRAMMING SOFTWARE (CPS™) - continued Programming Cables for units with Type I modules The following items are Motorola part numbers and are required to program the TDFM-600/6000 with type I modules. They must be purchased from Motorola Customer service (1-888-567-7347). P/N P/N P/N P/N RVN4182 RLN10150 0180202E27 3080390B48 CPS Programming Software, Note: Latest revision will be provided.
2.15 CONFIGURATION MENU Some features of the TDFM-600/6000 transceiver can be configured to the user’s preference. To enter the configuration menu, turn the unit on while simultaneously pressing the F4, ESW and TSW keys. Hold the keys until the display reads ‘Configuration Menu’. The first menu item to show will be ‘Knob Default’. Rotating the left knob will toggle back and forth between ‘volume’ and ‘channel’.
2.17 FRONT PANEL PROGRAMMING (FPP) MODE - continued RX NAC – Enter the desired receive P25 NAC code as above. RX TYPE – Select the receive mode using the UP and DN keys – Analog, digital or mixed. Mixed mode will allow the receiver to decode analog and P25 digital signals as needed. TX TYPE – This prompt will only come up if you selected mixed for RX. Select analog or digital. BANDWIDTH – Select 12.5, 20.0 or 25.0 kHz using the UP and DN keys. Bandwidth may also be called ‘Channel Spacing’.

3.10 MIC 1, 2 AND 3 - PINS 3, 6 AND 9 The microphone input signals shall be connected using shielded wire with the shield connected to ground (pin 1 or 14). It is recommended for best results to leave the other end of the shield floating to prevent ground currents unless you are connecting to an audio panel with floating hi and lo inputs (like the Technisonic A710 or A711 series) in which case the shield must be connected to the lo input. 3.

3.18 POST INSTALLATION EMI TEST PURPOSE The purpose of this test is to identify any interference that the TDFM-600/6000 transceiver may cause with existing aircraft systems. TEST CONDITIONS The TDFM-600/6000 transceiver should be installed and function tested. The antenna VSWR should be checked. A forward/reverse power check with a in-line wattmeter should show no more than 10% reflected power. For the following tests, insure that the output power is set to high.
RESULTS If the installed system passes all of the applicable EMI tests, then no further action is required. If interference is observed then the interference must be assessed against the appropriate standards of airworthiness for the system in question.

NOTE: For the following tests, select a frequency at the top, middle and bottom of each band of the TDFM600/6000 transceiver. 136 to 178 MHz Band 403 to 470 MHz Band 450 to 512 MHz Band 806 to 870 MHz Band Frequency #1 Frequency #2 Frequency #3 H. At a safe altitude engage the autopilot or stability augmentation system. Modulate the TDFM600/6000 transmitter on the above frequencies for at least 20 seconds. Observe any effect on the autopilot or stability augmentation system. Observations: I.
J. List the power plant, fuel and other electric instruments in the chart provided and note any anomalies that occur while transmitting. Assess the results.
