NTA01-001 Motorola Series Radio Adapter

SM71 Installation and Operation Manual

Section 1.0 Description

1.1 Introduction

This manual contains information on the NTA01-001 Motorola Series Radio Adapter. All derivative products will be covered by manual supplements which can be obtained from AEM as required.

Information in this section consists of purpose of equipment, features and specifications.

Note: The NTA01-001 Motorola Series Radio Adapter has been designed for use with the remotemounted version of Motorola’s Astro and XTL -series radios. If there is any question about the suitability of the NTA01-001 for a specific Motorola radio, contact the Product Support department at AEM.

1.2 Purpose of Equipment

The NTA01-001 is a remote-mounted adapter unit, specifically designed to incorporate the remotemount ed version of Motorola’s Astro and XTL -series radios into an aircraft environment. It provides all required interface functions to integrate a car/motorcycle radio into an aircraft environment, such as power conversion, mic excitation, sidetone generation, impedance matching and level conversion.

1.3 Features

The NTA01-001 is a tray-mounted unit that accepts remote-mounted versions of the Motorola radio (7 inches long maximum and with a 15-watt transmit maximum radio). The preferred method of control of the Motorola radio is via a TH-Series Tac/Com Control head with a suitable radio interface installed in it.

The NTA01-001 provides voltage conversion from +28 to +13 Vdc, mic bias for amplified microphones, a remote on/off line (supplied by the control head), artificial sidetone during transmission, and level and impedance matching of the radio’s audio signals to the aircraft audio system.

Programming of the Motorola Astro radio is accomplished with a PC and a Motorola RIB or SRIB box and

Motorola RSS programming software via a 15-pin connector on the front of the NTA01-001. The feature is not available with the XTL-series radios.

SM71 Installation and Operation Manual

Section 2.0 Installation

2.1 Introduction

Information in this section consists of: unpacking and inspection procedures, installation procedures, post-installation checks, and installation drawings.

Unpack the equipment carefully. Inspect the unit visually for damage due to shipping and report all such claims immediately to the carrier involved. Note that each unit should have the following:

- NTA01-001 Motorola Series Radio Adapter

- Product Information Card

- Release certification

Verify that all items are present before proceeding and report any shortage immediately to your supplier.

2.2.1 Warranty

All Anodyne Electronics Manufacturing Corp. (AEM) products are warranted for 2 years. See the website www.aem-corp.com/warranty for complete details.

2.3.1 Warnings

Do not bundle any lines from this unit with transmitter coax lines. Do not bundle any logic, audio, or DC power lines from this unit with 400 Hz synchro wiring or AC power lines. Do not position this unit next to any device with a strong alternating magnetic field such as an inverter or significant interference to operation will result. In all installations, use shielded cable exactly as shown and ground as indicated.

Significant problems may result if these guidelines are not followed.

2.3.2 Cautions

All audio installations can be severely degraded by incorrect wiring and shielding, and may result in much higher cross-talk, hum, and ground-loop interference. This should be considered when audio wiring to and from the radio system installation is performed.

In communication intensive applications, poor cable routing and shielding may drastically compromise over-all system performance. Use caution in the routing of wire bundles.

2.3.3 Cabling and Wiring

All unshielded wire shall be selected in accordance with AC43.13-1B Change 1, Paragraphs 11-76 through 11-78. Wire types should be to MIL-W-22759 as specified in AC43.13-1B Change 1, Paragraphs

11-85, 11-86, and listed in Table 11-11. For shielded wire applications, use Tefzel MIL-C-27500 shielded wire with solder sleeves (for shield terminations) to make the most compact and easily terminated interconnect. Follow the wiring diagrams in Section 2.6 as required.

Allow 3 inches from the end of the wire to the shield termination to allow the hood to be easily installed.

Note that the hood is a ‘clamshell’ hood, and is installed after the wiring is complete.

All wiring should be at least 22 AWG, except where otherwise specified. Ensure that all ground connections are clean and well secured.

2.3.4 Installation of Radio into NTA01-001

Refer to Mechanical Installation drawing NTA01\001\952-0.

Remove the cover from the NTA01-001. The necessary cables and screws for connecting and fitting the radio are inside the unit in anti-static bags.

Attached to the inside of the unit closest to the external connectors is the RF coaxial cable connector, the power supply connector, and a 15-pin ribbon cable (J102), and at the other end of the unit is a 25-pin ribbon cable. These should be attached to the appropriate connectors on the radio.

Note : If an XTL-series radio is to be installed, the 15-pin ribbon cable (J102) is not used, and must be removed to allow proper installation of the radio.

Inside one of the bags there are four panhead screws that should be used to attach the radio inside the NTA01-

001 through the cover, and also sufficient flathead screws to fasten the cover into place.

Note : In some cases it may be necessary to use a 90º adaptor for the coaxial cable.

Do not attach the NTA01-001 until the following conditions are met.

Check the following: a) P1 and <2> for +28 Vdc relative to ground. b) P1 and <21> for continuity to ground.

2.3.5.2 Power On Checks a) Install and power up the ship’s systems. Turn on the radios and accessories required for the system. b) Check for correct radio audio and adjust for acceptable level.

NTA01-001 Motorola Series Radio Adapter

SM71 Installation and Operation Manual

If any preset requires adjustment, be sure this is carried out before the aircraft leaves, and that the unit and its mating connector are secured before departure. Make all required log book entries, electrical load, weight and balance amendments and other paperwork as required by your local regulatory agency.

Upon satisfactory completion of all performance checks, make the required log entries and complete the necessary Regulatory Agency paperwork before releasing the aircraft for service.

2.3.6 Adjustments

The unit is shipped from the factory with all internal adjustments set to the normal test levels. Once installed in the aircraft, it may be desirable to change some of these settings to best suit the local operating environment.

MIC LEVEL SIDETONE RX LEVEL

The internal adjustments that can be varied can be found on the top of the rear subassembly after removing the cover of the unit, and are mic level, sidetone, and RX level, as shown above.

These levels can be adjusted using the rotary pots. Rotating the pots clockwise increases the levels, and counterclockwise decreases the levels.

Maintenance of the NTA01001 is ‘on condition’ only. Periodic maintenance of this product is not required.
