WARNING some parts of the radio will continue to be energized after the fuse has been
tripped.
When replacing the fuse, always disconnect the radio from the AC power
supply. Do not touch any live parts when performing service and
maintenance on the radio while the radio is switched on (by qualified
service personnel only).
External DC Power Supply\\External DC power supply "Name".doc
ATTENTION The external DC power supply should deliver a short-circuit current of

I ≥ 30 A to ensure that the overcurrent protective device functions properly
in the event of a malfunction.
Note: To ensure that the radio works properly, it is required to supply an

earthing contact.
AC voltage The transmitter operates on an AC voltage.

When the transmitter is connected to the AC line, it automatically sets itself
to the correct voltage (AC voltage 115 V/230 V). There is no need to set the

transmitter
Front panel The front panel control unit A8 with LCD and keyboard A9 make local
control unit control of the radio possible on a lab bench or for activities such as
installation and maintenance. The RF signal issued at common antenna X3
is demodulated in the transmitter module and can be audio-monitored at
any time via the built-in loudspeaker. You can control the volume by means
of the volume control on the front panel.
USB interface You can configure and make basic settings for the radio via the USB
interface on the front panel. In addition you can download software of all
firmware components via the USB. The main backplane A6, which
connects all modules, contains a USB hub and connects the transmitter's
USB interface controller with the front panel control unit A7.
Power supply The main fan is controlled and monitored by control unit A8. The radio can
be powered by AC and/or DC voltage. If the AC source fails, the radio
automatically switches to the DC source. You can switch the radio on with
the switch on the front panel A7.
Display LEDs indicate the current operating state at all times. You can display the
operating settings, radio configuration, analog measurement values and
status in detail on an eight-row LCD.
Audio interface On the system side the 600 ohm audio interface “TX Audio Basic X5” is
connected to the rear panel and the PTT keying is activated. You can
flexibly configure the PTT input via service PC and adjust it to the voltage
conditions (–48, +28, optocoupler input) in the system. Remote control is
performed as standard via the Ethernet – LAN interface “Ethernet – LAN
Remote Control X6” or the RS-485 ‘’TX Audio Extended X7’’ using the
powerful R&S remote-control protocol GB2PP.
Main and For redundant system installations with 1:1 switchover, the main and
standby function standby radios are connected with each other via hardware contacts. This
allows quick switchover without any delay in the event of a failure. In
addition, an antenna relay can be connected and controlled.
Extended DSUB The 15-contact extended DSUB interface “TX Audio Extended X7”
interface provides discrete digital control contacts too.
Transmit antenna The transmit antenna is connected to N-connector X3. The transmitter
consists of power board A4 with 200 Wpep output stage and analog/digital
board A1 with the main VCXO/clock processing unit, VCO/synthesizer, 600
ohm audio interface, DSP, LAN and USB controller. The AM
and ACARS modulation signals are processed digitally in the baseband
and transformed to output frequency via the I/Q modulator. The output
signal of the transmit output stage is coupled out and linearized via
feedback loop. The VHF transmitter R&S SU 4200 includes a Cartesian I/Q
control loop. Modules A4 and A1 are mounted on the high-power heat sink
and are cooled by the fan.
Main TCXO (VAR.02) The main TCXO on the A6 backplane board serves as the reference for the
radio and can be easily adjusted via the USB interface.

Operation Operation can be performed locally on the built-in front panel control unit or
remotely via the Ethernet – LAN or RS-485 interfaces. Operational
parameters such as setting the frequency, changing the channel spacing or
activating presets can be controlled. In addition, the current status
Information and indicators such as GO, ACTIVE, SQ, CARRIER or VSWR
can be received from the transmitter and displayed.
Maintenance Maintenance status parameters can be read out over USB, Ethernet – LAN
or RS-485 interfaces, and the built-in front panel control unit. The
transmitter delivers the result of the continuous built-in test (CBIT) and the
event list, which saves all events with the time information of occurrence.
Maintenance activities can be performed and controlled via the built-in front
panel control unit and remotely via Ethernet – LAN or RS-485 interfaces.
The transmitter provides commands for switching over from main to standby
(and vice versa) and for performing a test transmission. In addition, the
device can be reset or the real time clock (RTC) can be initialized locally or
remotely.
Performance values Performance values can be read out over the built- in front panel control
unit or over the Ethernet – LAN or RS-485 interfaces. Parameters such as
modulation depth, temperatures, voltages, power levels and VSWR can be
measured.
Configuration Configuration of the transmitter can be performed with the Service and
Maintenance Tool R&S ZS 4200, which runs on a standard PC or laptop.
Connected via service PC, the radio provides easy and fast configuration of
the radio basic parameters such as IP address, PTT timeout, power audio-
levels and preset pages.
The configuration files can be saved and loaded to the transmitter. The
configuration process is very convenient and allows you to quickly configure
an entire rack. In case of service, the defective radio can be “cloned” and
the parameters loaded to a replacement radio.
Preset loading Up to 200 preset pages can be loaded via USB, Ethernet – LAN or RS-485
interfaces.
Inventory All hardware and software components can be read out on all
USB, Ethernet – LAN or RS-485 interfaces and are visible on the
built-in display.
Software update The R&S DS 4200 software is delivered as a CD ROM and contains all
software components, which are automatically loaded to the radio modules
via the USB interface. The Service and Maintenance Tool R&S ZS 4200

3.3.2 Meaning of Parameters

Default setting description\Default setting description "Radio".doc
TX Audio Level This parameter refers to the modulation input (connector X5.2/3). With the
default setting, the modulation sensitivity is 0 dBm – which means that at
an AF level of 775 mV at this 600 ohm input, the AM transmitter is driven
and modulated at 90 % modulation. The input can be configured from
− 30 dBm to +10 dBm in accordance with the line infrastructure and the
incoming signal levels. The sensitivity is greatest at − 30 dBm, which
means that the full modulation of 90 % is achieved even at a low level.
TX Output Power Using this parameter, you can define the transmit power between 5 W and
Level Low 20 W. This value is then adopted with the Low setting (see chapter
3.4.7.2).
TX Output Power Using this parameter, you can define the transmit power between 5 W and
Level Normal 50 W. This value is then adopted with the Normal setting (see chapter
3.4.7.2).
TX AM Modulation The modulation depth for the AM modulation can be set.

Depth When the automatic level control (see TX Audio ALC parameter) is
activated, the set AM modulation is ensured over a dynamic range of
±15 dB at the TX audio level interface (X5.2/3).
Note: The AM modulation should be left at 90 % all the time, since the
radio link is best at this value.
TX Audio ALC The automatic level control for the audio modulation can be switched on
and off.
When this function is activated, the set AM modulation depth (see TX AM
Modulation Depth parameter) is ensured over a dynamic range of ±15 dB
at the TX audio level interface (X5.2/3).
Note: If an automatic level control is active in the system, then the level
control of the radio should be switched off.
PTT Timeout A time limit can be set for the transmit time. This prevents the radio from
transmitting for an unlimited amount of time if the PTT key is pressed
(stuck). With a value of 0 s, the time limit is switched off.
6125.0226.12.01 3.10
PTT Input There are three different input configurations for the rear PTT input
Configuration (connector X5.8/9).
Type I stands for optocoupler input.
Type II should be configured if the system ground (= ground of the PTT
key) does not have the same potential as the rack ground. In this case, the
PTT circuit is fed via the negative voltage of − 48 V in the radio.
With the Rohde & Schwarz standard, a pull-up resistor is switched against
the positive voltage of +28 V in the radio.
5-Carrier Offset The transmitter allows different frequency offsets to be set. Normally the
2-carrier, 3-carrier and 4-carrier offset with the values
of −7.5 / −7.3 / −5 / −2.5 / 0 / +2.5 / +5 / +7.3 / +7.5 kHz are available. In
addition, the 5-carrier offset can be selected; this provides
−8/ −4 / +4 / +8 kHz in the transmitter.
ACARS Data Mode With this parameter the radio can be configured for voice (disabled) or
ACARS data operation (enabled) (2400 Bps).
The Voice setting is optimized for voice processing and squelch muting.
The ACARS setting is available for receiving ACARS data. In this case a
faster RF front-end control is in action. The attack and decay time is in
accordance with the ETSI EN 300676 standard.
If the radio is operating in ACARS data mode, only the 25 kHz spacing can
be used and the parameter TX Audio ALC must be deactivated.
Set/Get Values for 200 preset pages can be stored in the radio and called up. Each contains
Preset Page the frequency and spacing parameters. These parameters can be set for
each preset page.
Installation Info Information (up to 20 characters) can be entered to describe the radio
more precisely.
Location Info Only the first 20 characters entered by using the R&S ZS 4200 appear on
the radio display.
IP Address An IP address must be assigned for each radio module, which allows each
module to be uniquely identified and operated in remote operating mode.
Additionally specifying the netmask and the gateway makes it possible to
work within different subnets via a router.
ACL Here you can enter the IP addresses of the remote control systems or
(Access Control List) clients that are allowed to access the radio. This protects the radio against
unwanted/unknown accesses. If the list is blank (default), then any client
with any IP address can access the radio.
Note: If the SNMP protocol is used, it is necessary to add the internal IP
address 127.0.0.1 or to leave the ACL empty.
TX RS-485 Logic An address between 1 and 9999 must be assigned to each radio module.
Address The module is addressed on the RS-485 bus with this logical address.
RS-485 Baud Rate The baud rate of the radio can be set. The baud rate set for the radio
(RS-485 interface) must match the baud rate of the remote control
computer.
3.11 6125.0226.12.01
Main/Standby Type The main/standby type declares if a radio should start up as an active main
radio or as an inactive standby radio. If the common AC- or DC-supply of a
main/standby installation is powered up, then the radio will boot
accordingly.
Line Interface in In local mode, the rear and front panel audio inputs operate in parallel
Local Mode (default). The rear panel audio line interface (including SQ contact and
audio output) can be disabled for the local mode. This allows independent
use of the radio for a service technician where unwanted SQ indication or
line output must be prevented.
Local Mode You can disable the LOC button on the radio to prevent the radio from
being switched from remote mode to local mode.
Local Mode Timeout Local mode will be quit automatically if there is no further
activity on the front-panel radio keys or if local PTT (Push-To-Talk) is not
re-keyed any longer. Timeout can be set between 60 s and 900 s, or
disabled (0).
EXT VSWR Limit The external VSWR limit specifies the voltage threshold for the analog
input EXT_VSWR (X7.8). Especially for installations with external
circulators the voltage from an external SWR-detector can be connected to
the radio in order to generate CBIT warning 338. The external VSWR input
is only processed during active TX state.
EXT VSWR Polarity Polarity of the external VSWR voltage. Positive polarity means the CBIT is
generated if the measured value is above the defined limit. Negative
polarity means the measured value is below the defined limit.
Single Channel Fixed frequency cannot be changed. Frequency must be configured before
activating this function.
Motor Tuned Telsa It is possible to connect an external motor tuned Telsa filter to the radio. In
Filter order to activate RS-422 interface flow control, the configuration parameter
has to be enabled.
Note: The RS-485 remote control interface will be deactivated when the
external motor tuned Telsa filter is used.
Note: Enabling the external motor tuned Telsa filter will limit the
frequency range of the radio to the frequency range of the filter.
Frequency Blocking Up to eight frequency blocking ranges can be defined. The device will
Ranges refuse any set frequency command from MMI local operation or from
remote control which is within these frequency blocking ranges.
The configured frequency blocking ranges have to fit to the radio’s
frequency range from 112 MHz to 155.991666 MHz.
PTT Signaling PTT can be keyed by a tone with a specified frequency that is present
within AF signal. If the parameter is on, the tone is detected and controls
the PTT function. The tone itself is suppressed within transmitted signal by
a notch filter. The frequency of the PTT tone is 2040 Hz.
PTT Signaling The frequency of the PTT tone is variable within a specified range.
Frequency
PTT Signaling The level threshold of the PTT tone detector is variable within specified
Threshold range and is related to nominal audio signal level set by “TX Audio Level”.
6125.0226.12.01 3.12
TX Preemphasis For the use especially with long telephone lines, the AF response shape
can be adjusted in a way that higher frequencies have higher gain than
lower frequencies. The value in dB specifies the gain at AF = 3400 Hz in
comparison to AF = 800 Hz. Nominal TX audio level is always related to
AF = 1 kHz. Default value is 0 dB which means that TX preemphasis is off.
SNMP Community Name of the SNMP communication community. It is used to restrict the
String network access.
Enable SNMP The parameter is used to enable and disable the SNMP functionality of the
radio on the LAN interface.
If the parameter is set to "Disable", the SNMP functionality is disabled and
only GB2PP protocol is supported via LAN. If the parameter is set to
"Enable", only the SNMP protocol is supported.
Note: Parallel usage of the SNMP and GB2PP is not supported.
Note: For a proper use of the SNMP protocol, it is necessary to update the
access control list (ACL).
DC-Battery The voltage during battery operation can be monitored. If the voltage is too
Supervision low, two responses in the radio can be triggered.
The Warning setting generates the CBIT warnings 301, which are output
via the remote system connected.
The NOGO setting sets the TEST_OC signal at the output
(connector X5.4) and initiates a switchover to the standby mode in
a main/standby configuration. This setting is recommended if, for example,
two separate DC networks are used for the main and standby radios.
AC-Main The voltage during network operation can be monitored. If the voltage is
Supervision too low, two responses in the radio can be triggered:
The warning setting generates the CBIT warnings 302, which are output
via the remote system connected.
The NOGO setting sets the TEST_OC signal at the output
(connector X5.4) and initiates a switchover to the standby mode in
a main/standby configuration. This setting is recommended if, for example,
two separate AC networks are used for the main and standby radios.
Note: If the AC-Mains fail, operation automatically switches to the standby
radio. Otherwise the DC battery of the main radio would be
unnecessarily discharged.
Local Mode Warning The radio can be configured in such a way that pressing the LOC button on
the radio generates the CBIT warnings 336, which is output via the remote
system connected.
USB Connect Warning The radio can be configured in such a way that a USB access via a service
PC generates the CBIT warnings 335, which is output via the remote
system connected.
3.13 6125.0226.12.01
External VSWR The radio could be configured in such a way that a warning will be
Warning generated if the external VSWR limit EXT_VSWR (X7.8) is exceeded.
The external VSWR CBIT warning 338 will be sent to the remote control
system connected if the external VSWR limit is exceeded.
The warning can be configured as NOGO warning in order to request a
main/standby switch-over via TEST_OC X5.4.
TX Power Low If the power is 3dB lower than expected, the radio will generate the NOGO
Warning warning 323 and will request a main/standby switch-over via TEST_OC
X5.4.
VSWR Warning The VSWR on the transmitter output (X3) is monitored during operation. If
the VSWR is higher than 2, a NOGO warning will be generated.
The NOGO warning VSWR 331 will be sent to the remote
control system connected if the VSWR on the transmitter is above 2.
PSU Fan Warning The rotation of the power supply fan is internally monitored and will cause
a warning if it is not running as expected.
The NOGO warning PSU fan 201 will be sent to the remote control system
connected if the power supply fan is not working well.
Main Fan Warning The rotation of the main fan is internally monitored and will cause a NOGO
warning if it is not running as expected.
The NOGO warning main fan 103 will be sent to the remote control system
connected if the main fan of the radio is not working well.
Inactive Warning The radio can be configured in such a way that if the radio is inactive, it
generates the CBIT Warning 101 which is output via the remote system
connected.
User Contact Warning The radio can be configured in such a way that a warning will be generated
if the user contact X7.15 is high. The USER CONTACT WARNING 342 will
be sent to the remote control system.

3.4.7.2.2 Explanation of Offset Activation
The radio offers a number of different offsets that can be activated. As the
handling of unsupported offsets is different from the handling of any other
unsupported parameter, an explanation is given here to avoid
misunderstandings. Normally unsupported parameters or commands are
rejected by the radio with an error message.
Whether an offset is supported depends on a combination of other
parameters, such as spacing or mode. Please refer to the ICD for a detailed
table with all permitted combinations of modes, offsets and spacings that
can be set to the hardware.
Note: The radio behavior is specified as follows: offsets that are not
permitted in a certain spacing will be accepted and stored by the radio, but
not activated in the hardware. Only when a spacing which supports this
stored offset is activated, the offset will be activated in the hardware. The
consequence of storing the offset is that it can be read out over all
interfaces and it is displayed on the MMI, even if it is not activated in the
hardware because this combination of offset and spacing is not permitted.

This chapter This chapter provides information about the cabling and configuration of the
0. radio pair for the main/standby operation.
Main-Standby Operation\Main-standby operation "Radio".doc
1. Cross-connect the sum test outputs (TEST-OC) and *OFF (X5) inputs
of the two devices by using the cabling described in Fig. 3.54.
2. Use the R&S ZS 4200 to configure one of the two devices as “Main”
(A=0) and the other one as “Standby” (B=1) unit.
The R&S ZS 4200 has to be used also for the NOGO configuration.
3. The following settings have to be done in the local mode or via the
remote control system.
Both radios have to be set to "AUTO" via the remote control command
"MS_AC" or they could be configured to activation state "ON" in the
local mode (see Fig. 3.57).
After leaving the local mode, the device will automatically switch to the
"AUTO" mode and will be ready for the main/standby switchover (see
Fig. 3.58). In this case, input *OFF will be activated (X5.7).
Note: If one radio is in local mode while the other one is in remote
mode, then the local operated radio is active and the second one is
inactive. Constellation remains even when the local mode is left. The
main/standby switchover capability of the radio pair is now available in
remote mode or non-controlled mode.

This chapter Both radios have to be powered up. If there is no failure, the radios are
booting and will get into the following state: The radio configured as "Main"
has to indicate the "GO" and "VOP" LEDs and shows the status "ACT" on
the display, the radio CBIT status is "OK" (see Fig. 3.55). The second radio
configured as "Standby" has to indicate the "GO" LED while the "VOP" LED
remains dark. In addition, the display shows the status "INACT" and the
CBIT status shows a warning (warning 101 INACTIVE W). The figures
below show the radios displays after booting (see Fig. 3.56). The second
radio is ready for main/standby switchover.

3.6.3 Behavior at Remote Control
This chapter When the command "MS_GO" has been sent via remote control, the radio
switches to ACTIVE state irrespective of the previous state. Refering to the
settings mentioned above, the radio which got this command becomes
active and the partner device (cross-connected via X5) becomes inactive.
The "MS_GO" command is ignored by the radio if at least one of its
modules is set to OFF state. A radio can be set to OFF or to AUTO state
using the "MS_AC" command. When the command "MS_AC" with the
parameter OFF was sent via remote control, the radio switches to
INACTIVE state irrespective of the previous state. The partner device
(cross-connected via X5) gets ACTIVE if it is in AUTO state.
There are different ways to switch between the radio states. Using the
remote control mode, it is possible to send the "MS_GO" or "MS_AC"
command to toggle the radio state. In the manual mode, it is possible to
press the "LOC" button to get the radio into the inactive state. After leaving
the local mode, the radio will keep this state.
Note: More details about the Main/Standby and remote control are
provided in the LAN or RS-485-GB2PP Interface Control Document
available on demand from Rohde & Schwarz (Order No. 6144.7497.01).

3.6.4 Behavior in Case of Device Errors
This chapter If an error or NOGO warning occurs on the "Main" radio, the "Standby" radio
will be activated via the TEST_OC line. The "Standby" device will
become active and switches the "Main" radio inactive by serving the cross-
connected *OFF line. The device pair is now settled in a stable state.
Even if an error or NOGO warning disappears on the inactive "Main" radio,
the "Standby" radio will stay active. In case there will be an error on the
active "Standby" device, a switchover to the "Main" radio could be done.

3.8 In-Band Signaling

In-band Signaling\In-band Signaling "Radio".doc
3.8.1 Introduction/Overview
Introduction/ To reduce the number of lines, in particular for transmitting signals over
Overview long distances, the use of the bidirectional in-band technique via a 2-pair
AF/telephone line per radio unit (receiver, transmitter, or transceiver) is
recommended. AF carriers are modulated with control and signaling
information and inserted in-band without affecting the speech quality.
The R&S Series 4200 radios support a special audio in-band technique.
This in-band technique is used to enable radio functions via signalization on
the audio channel.
The radios of the R&S Series 4200 support the following in-band function:
• Signaling of PTT on transmitter side
3.8.2 Support and Configuration of In-Band Signaling
Description To setup the in-band signaling functionality, it is necessary to configure

various parameters with the Service and Maintenance Tool R&S ZS 4200
via the USB (see also chapter 3.3 Configuring with the R&S ZS 4200).
Note: The operation of the Service and Maintenance Tool R&S ZS 4200 is
described in detail in the corresponding operating manual.
3.8.2.1 In-Band Signaling of PTT with Different Audio Tones
Description The PTT can be signaled via the TX audio channel with the tones of
2040 Hz, 2300 Hz, 2970 Hz or 3100 Hz. To activate the in-band PTT
signaling, it is required to configure the functionality.
The configuration has to be done with the parameters:
• PTT Signaling to enable or disable the PTT in-band signaling
• PTT Signaling Threshold configures the PTT tone detector relating to
TX audio level setting

This chapter This chapter provides information concerning scheduled maintenance and
cleaning.
5.1 Scheduled Maintenance

Scheduled maintenance\Scheduled maintenance "Radio".doc
5.1.1 TCXO Adjustment (VAR.02)
Inspecting Inspect the air intake on the front panel for dust build-up and clean it if
the air intake necessary. The inspection interval depends on the environmental conditions
under which the transmitter is operated.
Note: Due to the long service life of the fan, no regular maintenance is
required here besides cleaning. The speed of the fan is monitored by
means of the continuous built-in test (CBIT), and a warning is promptly
generated (see chapter 4.2).
TCXO adjustment Due to the natural aging of the crystal oscillator (TCXO), it is advisable to
check the frequency offset after the first year of operation and readjust it if
necessary. We recommend a further adjustment interval of 3 years in order
to ensure the specified frequency accuracy.

Test procedure
DUT is controlled via the R&S ZS 4200 (see chapter 3.3).
The minimum warm-up time is 1 minute for the TCXO.
Test frequency: 120 MHz (see chapter 3.4.7.2)
Power level set: Low (see chapter 3.4.7.2)
Mode: AM (see chapter 3.4.7.2)
Radio is keyed ON, e.g. via function Test PTT, which delivers an
unmodulated SW signal (see chapter 3.4.7.4.1).
Measure frequency at antenna X3 and adjust TCXO value using
the R&S ZS 4200 (see chapter 3.3).

R&S SU 4200 Scheduled Maintenance
The step width (1 bit) for the adjustment is approximately 10 Hz. Adjust it
only in small steps and do not detune the TXCO to the extreme positions,
because the internal reference on the RF module could unlock here. (CBIT
error 315, see chapter 4.2.1).
Nominal value
TCXO Δf ≤ ±0.2 ppm (corresponds to ± 24 Hz at 120 MHz).
5.1.2 OCXO Adjustment (VAR.03)
Inspecting Inspect the air intake on the front panel for dust build-up and clean it if
the air intake necessary. The inspection interval depends on the environmental conditions
under which the transmitter is operated.
Note: Due to the long service life of the fan, no regular maintenance is
required here besides cleaning. The speed of the fan is monitored by
means of the continuous built-in test (CBIT), and a warning is promptly
generated (see chapter 4.2).
OCXO adjustment Due to the natural aging of the crystal oscillator (OCXO), it is advisable to
check the frequency offset after the first year of operation and readjust it if
necessary. We recommend a further adjustment interval of 3 years in order
to ensure the specified frequency accuracy.
Note: If the radio is started at low temperatures (approximately −20 °C), the
frequency of the OCXO is far from its nominal value. This causes the
generation of the CBIT message 315 TX INT REF UNLOCK. When the
OCXO is warmed up, this message will disappear. This is a typical behavior
of radios with the OCXO installed and not an indication of a radio failure.
