3 Overview The SATRAD MIS mobile integration system is designed for vehicle installations requiring mobile radio s to be cross-banded to the SATRAD-G2 satellite communications system. This procedure gives instructions to installing the MIS and the optional SATRAD-CHNB (control head network bridge). Antenna Installation This section describes how to install the SATRAD-G2 antenna in vehicle applications. The antenna can be purchased with optional magnetic feet attached to the antenna. These high powered magnets hold the antenna in place with a total force of 1260N (280lbf). 1) Select a mounting area on the vehicle. Keep the following considerations in mind when choosing a location. a. Must be clear of any obstruction by at least 600mm (24 inches). b. Minimal vibration area. Roof of vehicle is preferred over trunks or hoods. Custom mounts for specific applications are available. c. The antenna cable is able to be routed into the vehicle easily. d. The antenna must be horizontal. e. Keep the satellite antenna as far away from the radio antenna as possible. 2) Mount the magnetic feet to the antenna. a. Slide a flat washer on to the bolt. b. Slide a rubber washer onto the bolt. c. Insert the bolt into the 3 ceramic magnet. d. Slide a rubber washer onto the bolt. e. Slide a flat washer on to the bolt. f. Thread the bolt assembly into the MSAT-G2 antenna foot. g. Slide another flat washer onto the bolt assembly. h. Thread a Nylock nut onto the bolt assembly and tighten. i. Tighten enough only to secure the bolt to the antenna. Too much torque will cause damage to the antenna casing. j. Cover the magnet with the rubber cover. 3

5 3) Connect the coax cable to the antenna. a. The coaxial cable recommended is RG223. This cable has a maximum length of 20 feet (6 meters). 4) Place the antenna onto the selected location. 5) Route the cable through the vehicle. Using the same route as the P25 VHF/UHF radio cable is ideal. a. The cable must not become kinked or be routed through a bend radius smaller than 2.25 (57mm). b. The cable must be protected from any kind of damage. Avoid routing the cable under the vehicle. c. When the cable passes through a sheet metal panel use a grommet to protect the cable. 6) Connect the loose end of the coax cable to the SATRAD-G2. 5

6 Installation Instructions This section describes the installation method into vehicles. 1. Locate an area to mount the SATRAD-MIS and SATRAD-G2 on the vehicle. a. Typical location for an ambulance is behind the driver. b. Typical location for a police vehicle is in the trunk. c. If the optional SATRAD-CHNB has been purchased, locate an area near the operator. Usually under the dash is a good location. 6

7 2. Mount the SATRAD-MIS to the vehicle. Use metal screws in the locations shown below. Ensure there is room to attach wiring harnesses. a. If installing the optional SATRAD-CHNB use 2 sheet metal screws to secure it in the selected location. Bottom View of SATRAD-MIS Mounting points 7

8 3. Connect the MIS to the SATRAD-G2 transceiver, and vehicle power. a. If installing the optional SATRAD-CHNB route the vehicle power to the Ignition Battery port on the control head. Then run the power cable from the control head to the MIS. 4. Connect a handset to the port labelled MSAT-HS on the MIS. a. If installing with the optional SATRAD-CHNB route the Cat5 cable from the control head to the MSAT-HS port. 5. Connect a SATRAD-G2 handset to the handset port on the MIS. a. If using the optional SATRAD-CHNB connect to the Handset port on the control head. 6. Connect the radio to the MIS using the custom cable. a. This cable is specific to the radio installed in the vehicle. This radio must be identified at the time of order to ensure the correct cable is available. 7. If using the optional speaker connect it to the back of the SATRAD-CHNB. 8. Connect a computer serial port to the connector labelled Program. Load a terminal emulation program such as SERIALCOMM.EXE (available from Network Innovations). This will be used to monitor the initial start up self check functions. a. See section Initial Start up and Tests. 9. Remove the serial cable from the MIS. 10. Turn on the power. a. Perform qualification tests. See Test the System section. 8

It is not possible to repair a failed STARAD MIS in the field. Failed units should be returned to Network Innovations via an RMA. The handset will indicate progress through the initialization process, however it does not display error messages. 11

12 Power up This section describes the recommended testing steps to ensure that the installation has been properly performed. It will be helpful to have a person with another SATRAD-G2 system to perform receiving and transmit test. 1) Check the antenna, and ensure that there are no obstructions (including people, animals, trees, or buildings). 2) Connect the handset to the MSAT-HS port in the back of the MIS. 3) Turn the power on by pressing the red button on the front of the MIS. The power LED should light up. 4) Observe the LED s on the front of the MIS they all should light briefly. 5) During normal operation the LED s will act in the following manner. a) SATRAD steady on means the systems is running. b) Voice status i. Off when the PTT / COR is inactive. ii. On when the PTT /COR is pressed (push to talk request received). iii. Flashes quickly when voice data is being transmitted over the satellite (PTT is active). iv. Flashes slowly when voice data is being received over the satellite system. 12

13 c) Interface, flickers when data is being exchanged between the MIS and the SATRAD-G2. d) Satellite i. Steady on means the satellite link is established. ii. Flashing means the link is currently being created. iii. Steady off means the link is down. e) Power; on indicates power is turned on, off indicates the power is turned off. Test the System This section gives instructions on how to test the SATRAD-MIS once installed to ensure it is properly functioning. It will be helpful at this time to have a second SATRAD-G2 available to help test. 1) Press the PTT on the SATRAD hand set while at the same time observing the b LED. The LED should turn on. 2) Press the PTT button in the SATRAD handset, and speak a short message (testing ), and at the same time observe the voice status LED b. The LED should turn on, then after a few seconds the LED should flash rapidly. The handset will display USER-ON. The message should be heard on the second SATRAD-G2. Release the PTT button. 3) Request a voice transmission from the second SATRAD-G2. Observe the voice status indicator b, the LED should flash slowly. Observe the handset it should display the DN number (device number, 4 digits long) of the second SATRAD-G2. The audio should be heard at the handset. 4) At the console, select the SATRAD resource, then initiate a transmission and speak a short message. Observe the following: a. The voice indicator b should illuminate then flash quickly. b. The SATRAD handset should display USER-ON. c. The person on the second SATRAD-G2 should hear the message. 5) Request the person on the second SATRAD-G2 to transmit a voice message. Observe the following: a. The voice status indicator b should flash slowly. b. The SATRAD resource icon on the console should illuminate (where supported). c. The message is heard at the console. 13

14 Beam Coverage This section details the satellite service coverage of the SATRAD system. In order to make select good installation locations review the graphic showing the approximate coverage of each beam. Note that in the fringe (between the borders of 2 beams) there can be cross over problems. Select the beam that offers the strongest signal strength. The SATRAD-MIS system automatically selects the current beam when the unit is commissioned. If the need arises to change the beam manually the MIS first needs to be placed into transparent mode. Follow the next set of instructions to change the beam. 1. Press the PWR button on the side of the handset. 2. As soon as the tone is heard release the PWR button. 3. Press the MENU key. 4. Scroll to the ADMIN selection and press select. 5. Scroll to the X-OVER selection and press select. 6. Scroll to the desired beam, and press select. 7. The system will now ask to continue, press yes. 8. Allow to the MIS to return to normal mode. The user must not press any button for 60 seconds. The MIS will reboot the transceiver, and a 2 tone beep series will be heard. 14

16 Trouble Shooting Tips The system consists of 2 key components; the SATRAD-MIS, and the SATRAD- G2. Should the system fail to operate properly, the following steps should assist in isolating the problem; 1. Read the display on the handset. a. Normal display TG:LABEL B#S## b. LABEL = talk group label. Make sure you re on the correct talk group. c. B = Beam, this should be the correct beam for the area the operator will be using the device. d. S = Signal strength, should be above 60 in order for proper functionality. 2. Disconnect the data cable from the MIS to the G2. Connect the G2 handset directly to the G2 and test for operation. 3. Review the wiring for proper interconnection. If the antenna cable is loose ensure the system is turned off before tightening. 4. Check the RUN / PROG switch and ensure that it is in the RUN position. 5. Observe the display on the monitoring computer. If the monitoring computer does not show the initialization sequence, verify connectivity by connecting a null modem to the end of the serial port cable and striking a key on the keyboard the display should show the key depressed. If the display does not show the key depressed, there is a problem with the cable or configuration of the software. Re-attach the cable to the SATRAD MTX when the problem has been corrected and power cycle the system. 6. The SATRAD-MIS is sensitive to alternator noise. If this is suspected use a capacitor to filter the noise out. 7. If the optional SATRAD-CHNB was installed temporarily disconnect it from the MIS and then test the MIS alone.
