CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION

System Description

The 60100-400 VOX Shelf provides a way of interconnecting various types of mobile radio equipment at the voice level without having to miss part of the conversation. The shelf is configured to accommodate up to four 61649 VOX

Modules, each module is capable of two VOX circuits, for a total capacity of eight independent VOX circuits. Push-to-talk (PTT) relay outputs and audio delay are provided on each VOX circuit. The VOX/Delay Module digitally delays the audio while the transmitter is keying up to prevent speech clipping.

Screw lug terminal strips are provided for DC input power, circuit ground, and power good relay (which closes if any of the Power Supply’s three output voltages fail). Voice inputs and outputs, PTT relay outputs, and COR (carrier operated relay) inputs are connected through 50-pin Telco type connectors, SJ1 for VOX circuits 1 – 4 and SJ2 for VOX circuits 5 – 8.

The 60100-400 VOX Shelf is capable of operating with redundant power supplies, where both power supply assemblies are turned on. If either power supply fails, the other supply will continue to supply power through diode logic. Redundant supplies are optional; if a single supply is specified, the diodes are not used.

COR inputs for each VOX channel can be programmed for active low (GND) or active high (+5VDC) by a jumper strap. If the COR input is active low (GND), the jumper should be in the GND position. If the COR input is active high (+5VDC), then the jumper should be in the +5 position. (For active low (GND) inputs, a ground terminal is available for each circuit in the SJ1 and SJ2 cable connectors.)

61620 Power Supply

The Raven 61620 Power Supply provides three regulated DC voltage outputs required to power the 60100-400 VOX Shelf and associated plug-in modules.

The input has a very wide range, automatically accommodating input voltages from –20 VDC to –70 VDC. 61620-01 is also used in AC applications with an external AC/DC converter pack.

System Description

(cont.)

61649 VOX Module

INTRODUCTION

The Raven 61649 VOX Module provides the detection and delaying of voice frequencies (0.2 to 3.4 KHz). When voice frequencies are detected, a relay contact closure is provided. The 61649 uses CMOS and microcomputer technology to digitally convert, detect, delay, and reconstruct analog signals.

Switches are provided to set the amount of time delay (up to 1 second) and to set the analog detect level. The input can provide gain and the output amplifier provides gain or attenuation. LEDs are provided to give a visual indication of which channels are active. Additional circuitry is provided to allow for a COR (carrier operated relay) input. Each COR input can be individually programmed as active high or active low. The 61649 VOX module can use this signal to provide additional input (TTL) to determine how the keying relay operates. The 61649 VOX Module provides two VOX circuits.

CHAPTER 2 INSTALLING and SETTING UP THE VOX SHELF

Programming the COR Functions and Alignment Switch (S3)

The S3 Switch controls the operation of the VOX module. To program the COR functions and Turn Off and On the Test Alignment (S3) Switch, perform the following steps .

1. Position 1 determines the following:

OFF COR inputs are inactive. VOX is operated by level only.

ON COR inputs are activated. VOX & COR determines operation.

2. Position 2 determines the COR operation:

OFF COR input AND VOX input control keying relay.

The COR input must be active (see S3, position 1) AND the VOX level (see S1 and S2; positions 7 & 8) must meet or exceed the programmed value in order for the keying relay to activate.

Keying Relay Release timer starts when COR or VOX becomes inactive.

ON COR input OR VOX input control keying relay.

The COR input must be active OR the VOX level meets the programmed level in order for the keying relay to energize.

Keying Relay Release timer start when COR and VOX become inactive.

3. Position 3 determines the VOX operation:

OFF VOX circuits are enabled, audio is delayed and is used to control the keying relay.

ON VOX circuits are disabled, audio is delayed, but does NOT control the keying relay.

4. Position 4 is used during testing and alignment, otherwise, be sure it is switched to the Off position.

CHAPTER 2 INSTALLING and SETTING UP THE VOX SHELF

Setting the COR Inputs

If the COR inputs are enabled, the MPU uses these inputs to determine how the keying relay operates. Each COR input can be programmed for active low

(GND) or active high (+5 VDC). Set the corresponding jumper as needed.

COR1 and COR 2 correspond to Channel 1 and 2, respectively.

If the COR input is active low (GND), then the jumper should be in the GND position:

CHAPTER 4 TROUBLESHOOTING and ALIGNMENT

Troubleshooting and Alignment Procedures

Equipment Needed for Troubleshooting and Alignment:

• 61667 Extender Card (optional, but easier to align with)

• AC Voltmeter

• Alignment Tool

• Signal Generator

Alignment of the system has been performed at the factory. Please try the unit first before attempting the alignment procedures. No adjustment should be necessary since levels are set at the factory per customer’s specifications at time of order. If the unit is not working, it may need to be aligned. Attachment

A lists all levels and impedances for the system. The Attachment A can be located inside the VOX Shelf chassis.

Caution must be exercised during level alignment to insure that proper test levels are maintained.

A signal generator may double terminate a port causing a reduced signal level.

When injecting a test tone into a port, bridge the port with an AC voltmeter and set the signal generator output according to the AC voltmeter reading.

When an output reading is taken, the AC voltmeter will be either terminated or bridged. If it is unknown whether an output reading should be terminated or bridged measurement, compare the two readings. If a 3.5 dBm difference is noted, the bridged measurement is correct. If a 6.0 dBm difference is noted, the terminated measurement is correct.
