TRM-300 / Integration guide F070033PT_5.1_en 1 INTRODUCTION This document provides instructions for the TRM-300 TETRA radiomodem hardware integration. It is intended to help the system integrator to integrate the TRM-300 into a remote final hardware application. The document describes the mechanical, electrical and radiofrequency integration as well as the antenna installation.

TRM-300 / Integration guide F070033PT_5.1_en 5 5.1 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS GENERAL PowerTrunk strongly recommends performing the integration by people with experience in the field of radiofrequency technologies. PowerTrunk has approved a wide range of accessories for the terminal. These accessories have passed all types of tests that ensure their suitability and safety for the use for which they are intended. So, it is recommended only to use approved accessories.
TRM-300 / Integration guide F070033PT_5.1_en Pacemakers Pacemaker manufacturers recommend keeping a minimum safety distance between a radio terminal and a pacemaker, to avoid possible interferences with the latter. People with pacemakers should turn off the terminal immediately if, for any reason, it is suspected to cause interference. Hearing aids or other medical devices Some digital devices may interfere with these appliances.
TRM-300 / Integration guide F070033PT_5.1_en 6 ESD HANDLING PRECAUTIONS This product is sensitive to electro-static discharge. Therefore, ESD handling precautions are to be carefully observed: - Handle the product only while wearing a grounded wrist (or similar device) strap and working at a static free workstation. - The product should be stored in an antistatic bag and in its original shipping packaging.
TRM-300 / Integration guide F070033PT_5.1_en 7 PARTS REQUIRED FOR THE INTEGRATION 7.1 PARTS CONTAINED IN THE PACK Check that the pack includes the following parts: - TRM-300 enclosed in an anti-ESD bag. - Power auxiliary cable. - Standard mounting kit, which includes screws, washers and spacers. - Integration Guide at CD format. TRM-300 7.
TRM-300 / Integration guide F070033PT_5.1_en 8 MECHANICAL INTEGRATION The following table defines the required environment conditions: Parameter Specification Limit Operating temperature From -30ºC up to +60ºC (from -22ºF up to 140ºF) Storage temperature From -40ºC up to +85ºC (from -40ºF up to 185ºF) A mechanical enclosure is required of the integrator for environment protection. There are two possible mountings for the TRM-300; standard mounting and mounting with heatsink. 8.
TRM-300 / Integration guide F070033PT_5.1_en 8.2 MOUNTING WITH HEATSINK This mounting is required in case of applications with multislot data service, in order to optimize the thermal dissipation. The Programming Kit accessory is needed in order to configure the Terminal to maximize the data capacity of the channel. Pick Mounting with heatsink at the Options -> Configuration screen. The TRM-300 chassis is supported on a heatsink with a thermal interface material between them.
TRM-300 / Integration guide F070033PT_5.1_en 8.3 POWER AUXILIARY CABLE This section is common to both mountings. Insert the power auxiliary cable (DC-plug) in the TRM-300 power supply connector (DC-jack). Fix the clamping element to the TRM-300 and to the spacer with a screw (11mm -0.43 inches- length) and a washer, in order to assure the mechanical requirements. Power auxiliary cable Clamping element Screw Washer Spacer DC-plug 8.
TRM-300 / Integration guide F070033PT_5.1_en 9 ELECTRICAL INTEGRATION The following table defines the required electrical conditions: Parameter Specification Limit Operating supply voltage From 6.3V up to 8.4V (7.4V nominal) Supply current Up to 3.5A of peak value The TRM-300 auxiliary connector contains the power supply connector (DC-jack) and the I/O connector. It is an AVX semicustom socket connector (model 58-9157-019-000-094S) with the pin-out according to the following table and drawing.
TRM-300 / Integration guide F070033PT_5.1_en 1 19 9.1 20 21 22 GROUNDING There is only one common ground for the power supply and I/Os in the TRM-300. That is, there are no separate analog/digital ground pins in the auxiliary connector. All ground pins must be connected together in the final application. 9.2 POWER SUPPLY The TRM-300 is powered by the hardware application in which it is integrated, always through the PowerTrunk power auxiliary cable.
TRM-300 / Integration guide F070033PT_5.1_en Check voltage level prior to applying power to the TRM-300. The specified voltage shall be that measured at the point of connection of the power auxiliary cable to the TRM-300. The operating voltage must not fall below the specification limit under any circumstances. Take into consideration the current consumption when transmitting at full power. The operating voltage must not rise above the specification limit under any circumstances.
TRM-300 / Integration guide F070033PT_5.1_en 9.3.3 Switch on/off Interface An input signal is available to switch on/off the TRM-300. If the pins 10 and/or 11, which are internally connected, are left in open-circuit then the TRM-300 will be switched off. If they are connected to ground, then the TRM-300 will be switched on. For the data and control interfaces, shielded interconnecting cables are required in order to minimize the possibility of RF interference.
TRM-300 / Integration guide F070033PT_5.1_en 10 10.1 RF AND ANTENNA INTEGRATION TETRA ANTENNA The TRM-300 TETRA antenna connector is a female SMA jack. The application mating connector should be a male SMA plug. In order to install it, consult document D288W21NX_SP04. The following table defines the required radiofrequency conditions: Parameter TETRA Antenna RF impedance TETRA Antenna RF power Specification limit VSWR < 2 :1 50ohm 3W for 380-430MHz & 410-470MHz 1.
TRM-300 / Integration guide F070033PT_5.1_en 10.2 GPS ANTENNA In case of a TRM-300 configuration with GPS, the terminal supplies power to an active GPS antenna through the TRM-300 GPS antenna connector which is a male SMC jack. The application mating connector should be a female SMC plug. In order to install it, consult document D288W21NX_SP03. The following table defines the required conditions: Parameter GPS Antenna supply voltage GPS Antenna supply current Specification limit 3.
TRM-300 / Integration guide F070033PT_5.1_en The GPS technology uses radio signals from earth orbiting satellites to establish the location co-ordinates. Maximizing the view of clear, unobstructed sky is essential for optimum performance. In places where adequate signals from multiple satellites are not available (usually because a view of a wide area of the sky could not be established) the GPS feature of your terminal will not work. Such situations include but are not limited to: - Underground locations.
TRM-300 / Integration guide F070033PT_5.1_en 11 START-UP AND CHECK Once you have prepared the TRM-300 integration according to the previous sections, you can switch on the computer and the radiomodem, according to section 9.3.3. Programming Kit accessory, which includes the T2PRO_Programming Guide, is needed in order to configure the terminal according to the TETRA network. The terminal will be operative when it has successfully registered on the system.
