INTERFACE CONNECTIONSINSTAI,LATIONTwo connections must be made to the receiver and t'hree to t'hetransmitter. Use shielded wires with the shields at each end connectedto chassis ground. (tfre rear panel barrier strip terminals labeledrrGND. are chassis ground). We recommend using spade type crimp-onconnectors for ease and reliability. Connect the center wires asfollows:+l-2 VDC:Connect to a source of clean 12-74 VDC. Connect the DCreturn l_ead to GND. The TP-l-53 is reverse polarityproLected, so a polarity mistake witl not damage your TP-163unless the voftage is excessiwe.TX AUDIO: Connect to the transmiLter audio input. or Mic high line.NOTE: The repeater local- mic line may not be active unlessthe mic PTT is Pressed.PTT:Connect to the transmitter PTT l-ine.IfthePTTusing LTR overlay, connect Ehe TP-153 PTT and X Busy toLT-4200 TX KEY and SENSE 1 input then to the repeaterRX AUDIO:SUBTONE:RX COS:The audio input terminal- musL be connected directly to Lhereceiver discriminator (de-modulator) outpuL. Do noL connectpast any capacitors or resistors.The SUBTONE output is used to injecL DCS and CTCSS into thetransmitter. The injection point must be after the IDCclipper circuit, and preferably directly to the reacLanceconiiot component of the modul-aLor. For CTCSS only operationyou may use either a phase or frequency modulatedtransmitter. If using a PM transmitter that requires a5db/octave characteristic, install- strap JP-1, see page 6.Connect to a point that has good volLage swing when thesquelch is opened/cfosed. The best point to connect is thecol-Iector of the Lransistor that controls the busy tight. (ifthe receiver has one). OEherwise, you may connect Lo Ehesquelch gate controf voltage. Your last choice would be toconnect to output of the noise rectifier.When the COS threshofd. control P1 has been properly adjusted(see page 5), and ,JP-3 properly strapped (see page 5) , thefront pinel REC LED wiII il-luminate only when a signal isreceived. If the REC led goes out when a signal is received,move the COS polarity reverse strap JP-3 to the opposiLeend. Correct cos polarity must be achieved or the TP-l-53will not operate.Connect Systems Inc. - Model TP-163 Page 3

A d.rop below approxlmately 11 VDC will cause a microcomputerreset. If the power supply has poor regulation, errat,ic operation mayresult.The purpose of the input voltage sensor is to protect the non-volatileEE memory during power up and power down.IMPORTAIiflTThe TP-t-53 is factory set (default val-ue) with the 38 EIA CTCSS Lonesplus 63.0 Hz enabled and all tL2 DCS codes enabled. Therefore userprogramming is not needed to initially test your TP-153. Once jumpersire set and ]evels adjusted, your TP-153 will operate upon receivingany standard CTCSS or DCS code.Recommendation: Do not attempt any reprogramming until you have yourTp-163 up and running. Otherwise you may inadvertantly cause aproblem thJt precl-ud.es operation.

LTR OVERLAYWhat is LTR Overlay? Overlay is a CSI invention that alfows you tophase into LTR Lrunking by using your existing conventional repeatersalso as LTR repeaters. ftiis is accomplished by connecting Model- LT-42OO LTR disf,atch controllers in para11eI with your existingconventional repeaLer controllers.Although LTR overlay will work with any convent.ional controller, theTP-153 by Connect SysLems Inc. has a X BUSY (meaning cross busy) inputwhich busies ouL Lhe TP-153 (makes unavail-abIe) if LTR is currentfyusing the channel. (The LTR conversation will trunk to another channelatthe first break if a conventional user is attempting access) Ifyou intend to use LTR overlay, we recommend replacing oldercontrollers with TP-153's to gain ifr" X BUSY feature (al-so programmingby computer, pre-paid. airLime, CTCSS Trak performance etc). The X BUSYfeature al-so allows using all DCS codes on channels running LTR'Connecting the System for Overlay operation: On each repeater used foroverlay operation, the conventional contro11er and the LT-4200 areessentially wired in paral1e1. Each is connected as Lhough it were Lheonly control-ler connected to the repeater with the followingexception. . .The PTT from the repeater must connect to t.he TP-153 PTT and X BUSYinput and. also to the LT-4200 TX KEY and SENSE 1. Use shielded wirewi-in shields connected. to chassis cND at each end of the shieldedwires. (Things work better if one tries to keep RF away from amplifierand control el-ectronics) .programming the TP-153 for Overlay: The CROSS BUSY ENABLE parametermust be seE to enable. The CROSS BUSY DELAY and the CROSS BUSY HOLDTIME may be set to oLher values, but their l-0 mS and .1 Second defaultvalues are probablY OK to start.please see LT-4200 and CSIBASE manuafs for detai-Is about seLting upthe LT-4200's for overlaY.Overlay Home Repeater: The channels used as overlay channels (sharedwith conventiorru.f) should noL be used as home LTR channels. The homeLTR channels have to be ready to send d.igital data to llser radios atany instant and would interfere with conventional users on the samechannel. LTR users shoul-d be homed on a channel which is used for LTRonIy. You may have up to 20 repeaLers on an LTR system and all userscan be homed on one of them. (Home channels are al-so used as trunkedtalk channefs).Connect Systems Inc. - Model TP-163Pagel

DTMF PROGRjMMING (over the air)Slmopsis:The TP-153 can be programmed over the air from any DTMF equippedradio. The procedure is straight forward but you should read andunderstand this section thoroughly before you aLtempt DTMFprogramming. You sLart by sending an access code to enter programmingmode. Then you send the commands to accomplish your tasks and finallyexit programming mode so repeater operation can resume.To Enter and Exit DTMF Programming Mode: To enter the DTMF programmingmode, enter * followed by the six digit programming mode access codefollowed by #. The syntax is *mmmmmm#. The factory default programmingaccess code is 1,23456 (note that, this code is always six digits inIength) Therefore, the code required to get into programming mode is*723456#. This code will be valid unl-ess you change the ProgrammingMode Access Code in t.he GLOBAL programming area using DTMF or computerprogramming.When programming is completed, send ### to exit the programming mode.(If you forget, the TP-153 is designed to self exiE three minutesaft,er Ehe last DTMF command) .While in DTMF programming mode, the PROG led blinks, the transmitterremains keyed and a beep will be heard about every five seconds toremind you that the TP-153 is in Program Mode.Tlpes of conunands:1.

PrePaid Airtime:Prepaid airtime works well for the sysLem operator because he is paidbefore the service is rendered. It works like t.his... A customer paysyou for say five hours (300 minutes) of airtime on your repeater.Using either computer programming, or DTMF programming (syntax isbelow) enter 0300 minutes for this subscriber. The TP-l-63 decrementsthe users remaining airtime as it is used. During the final 25 minutesa beep sounds every four seconds to warn that remaining airtime isrunning out.

Some choicesare sel-f evident and further explanation is unnecessary.The TP-l-53 offers t,wo very powerful DTMF commandable features forrepeater users. . .Temporary cross tone: A subscriber can initiate a call to any otheruser group on the system by sending a DTMF command which will crossthe current subscribers tone or code to any other tone or code. Yes,you can even cross CTCSS to DCS or DCS to CTCSS ! To initiate temporarycross tone, simply use the fol-lowing format...pnnn#0Where pnnn is the subscriber code you wish to crossto temporarily change your repeater output code tosimply enter 2100#0.The temporary code will automatically revert back towhen hang time expires. Or., you can change your codeany time by sending...######to. For example,l-00.0 Hz. CTCSSyour normal codeback to normal atCW ID: The TP-153 provides two separate tlpes of Morse stationidentification. . .Subscriber CW fD: The TP-163 can store up to a ten character callsignfor each of up to 153 subscribers using the system. The callsign isautomatically sent five seconds after a subscriber begins using Ehesystem and then every User CW ID Interval thereafter. The User CW lDInterva1 is g1oba1Iy programmabl-e in ten second steps from l-0 secondsto 990 seconds.System CW fD: The TP-163 can also store t,he callsign of Lhe repeaLer.The callsign is enLered as a g1oba11y programmable parameLer and an IDinterval- from 7-99 minutes must afso be entered. You can al-so selectany CTCSS or DCS code to accompany the system CW ID. The callsign istransmitt,ed on a non interfering basis. The TP-153 first checks tomake sure the channel- is c1ear. If so, the callsign is sent at thefirst opportunity after each interval- elapses. The TP-l-53 will notrecognize a subscriber during the 4-6 seconds it t,akes to complet.e theID. This should not pose a tangible problem because CWID will probablybe set to occur at about 30 minute intervals and CWID will not occurif t.he system is a1ready in use.Connect Systems Lac. - Model TP-163 Page 26

TEST }IODES1. Remote Re-booting: A variety of conditions can occur (e.g.lightning) that will occasionally lock up a microprocessor. The onlysolution is to reboot the processor.Your TP-l-53 is equipped with hardware to allow remote rebooting usingDTMF. If a malfunction occurs try re-booting by pressing any DTMFdigit for ten or more seconds. (Re-booting will have no effect on userprogramming) .Space reserved for future test modesConnect Systems Inc. - Model TP-163Page27

DEFINITION OF TERMSANI: Automatic Number (user) Ident,if icationBarge in: An attempt by a different CTCSS/DCS user to cut in on ordisplace the current CTCSS/DCS user group.

When the hold delay is set to atleast three seconds t.alk off should be nearly impossible. ff there isanother signal present when t.he mobile unkeys, the TP-l-53 willimmediately detect the new CTCSS or DCS code as incorrect and shut offthe repeat audio immediately. Thus background chatter is not heard inthe mobile.Note: CTCSS Trak and CTCSS Hold delay are exclusive CSI softwarej-nventions available only in CSI panels.CW ID: Automatic identification of call sign in Morse Code.DCS: Digital Coded Squelch.DCS polarity: Characteristics of receivers and transmitLers can invertDCS. The TP-153 has independently programmable receive and Lransmitinvert to accommodate varying radios.DTMF: DuaI Tone Multi Freguency (Touch tone).Hangtime: The amount of time the repeater transmitter remains on theair after a user stops Lransmitting.Hog: A user or user group that monopolizes airLime.Hog Penalty: This feat,ure is designed to give the system manager somecontrol over airtime hogs which may drive other cusEomers away.fn order to use the Hog Penalty feature it is necessary Eo understandhow it works. There are Ehree timers which can be individually seL inthe global programming. These areConnect Systems Inc. - Model TP-163 Page 28

HOG MONITOR: This timer sets the maximum talk time a subscriber mayuse without incurring a no talk penalty. Warning beeps during thefinal thirty seconds indicate that a penalty is forthcoming if use isnot quickly terminated. If t.he subscriber ignores the warning beepsfor the fuII thirty seconds he is penalized by not being able to usethe system for the "penalty Limerr duration.IDLE TIMER: The "hog monitor timer" is reset if the user does not usethe system for the "id1e timerr t.his gives the user a clean sIate. ItmusL be noted Lhat the "hog timer" time is cumulative, if t.he idletime cri-teria is not met.PENALTY TIME: If the subscriber exceeds the cumulative "hog timerrltime he receives a hog penalty.The TP-153 can track the most recent five users for hog penalty. Ifthe syst,em operator (or any oEher user) enters "######", all hogtimers will be cleared, allowing the penalized Hog(s) to use thesystem before their penalty time has expired,fP: ,Jumper (wire or plug) used for making a hardware selection.Kerchunking: A kerchunker is a user that briefly hits his PTT switchto see if he can raise the repeater. Many find this practice annoying.The Anti-Kerchunking feature in the TP-153 is designed to stop userswho like to kerchunk. The Anti-Kerchunking filter does not affectpick-up E,ime or repeat capability, however if a transmission isshorter than Ehe AnEi-Kerchunk time there wilt be no hangtime when Eheuser unkeys.PTT: Push To Talk. (The line that keys the transmitter).Reserve tone: A tone in "reserve tonerrstatus will bring up therepeater but audio will not pass.Response delay to CD-1 or CD-22 The amounE of time from a downloadrequesE until the TP-l-53 begins outputting a DTMF download to yourCD-1 or CD-2 Communicat,ions Decoder Unit. This time is reguired if youare programming from a ha1f duplex radio.Stuck Mic. activity timer: Sets the maximum continuous (uninterrupt.ed)talk time. If a user t,a1ks past. Lhe act.ivity timer time, the repeatermerely stops transmitting until the input drops and is picked up anew.User Enable/Disable: Ability Eo t,urn a subscriber off for non paymentand back on in response to payment. Sometimes it may be desirable topuE a subscriber into reserve tone status rather Ehan use the deadbeatdisable. That. way he will realize that he is picking up the repeaLerbut can't talk.

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTIONThe incoming audio is buffered, de-emphasized and amplified to theamount set by Lhe PREAMP control by input op amps U4A, U4B. The audiothen proceeds to a six pole low pass filter and a six pole high passf ilter. The 1ow pass filter UU4C, 1J4D, LJTA removes voice audio andextracts the DCS/CTCSS signal for detection at the adaptivedifferential comparator U7C. The comparator output is fed to themicrocomputer U11 pin L2 for software DCS/CTCSS detection. The sixpole high pass filter l)7D, U6A, U5B removes CTCSS and DCS from theincoming audio Lo avoid retransmission of CTCSS or DCS. The audio fromt.he high pass filter cont,inues through Lhe sguelch switch U3B and onto the audio output amplifier U5C.The COS input is buffered U1A and compared to a reference voltage U1B,which is seL by Lhe COS threshol-d pot. The output then proceeds to thepolarity select strap .fP-3 and then to the microcomputer U11 pin 32.DTMF is decoded and regenerated by UL2 with some assistance from themicrocomputer Ul1.DCS is generated directly by the microcomputer U11 and output on pin15. The DCS is then passed through a four pole 1ow pass filter U2C,U2B to remove unwanted harmonics. CTCSS is generaLed by waveformgenerat,or U5 and passes though the reverse burst controller U2D, U3A.DCS and CTCSS are then summed in U2A and sent to the SUBTONE OUTPUT.The PTT signal originates at the CPU U11- pin 33 and drives Q9 which inturn drives Q2 whose coll-ect,or connects to the PTT output.A power on reset circuit consisting of Q5 and associated componentsmonitors the input voltage and quickly halts the microcomputer if theapplied input voltage is too low. The power on reset circuit providesproper computer start up after power is applied and protects the EEmemories U10 from data l-oss on power up and down.Remote rebooting occurs when any DTMF is heard for ten seconds. The DVf rom U12 enables oscil1aE,or U15A sending clock pulses to counter U14.When 2048 counts occur the CPU is reset because Q7 enables the resetcircuit.The CPU U11 communicates with external computers via the RS-232int,erf ace U16 using the f ronL or rear DB9 connect.ors.Incoming power is fed through reverse polarity protect diode D4 andthen fuse Fl-. From there the +V voltage feeds a +5 volt regulat,or U!7used by the digital components. Another smaller +5 volL regulator U13is used to supply bias and reference voltage to the analog op-ampsetc.Connect Systems Inc. - Model TP-163 Page 30
