GENERAL DESCRIPTION The Model 9800 'MicroPatch' by Connect Systems Inc. is a fully automatic Multi-Mode radiotelephone interconnect terminal. A built-in keyboard and digital display allows the user to obtain the maximum power from the on-board microprocessor. All features are user programmable and/or selectable. Additionally, there are eight modes of operation to choose from... 1. Simplex Sampling Interconnect Sampling Simplex with VOX enhancement. 2.
INSTALLATION AND ADJUSTMENTS The 9800 contains both a noise squelch and COS circuits with COS input. This gives the 9800 a great deal of interface flexibility. The audio takeoff point can be anywhere from the FM detector (preemphasized audio) to the volume control (de-emphasized or flat audio). If connection is made to the FM detector, only three connections are required to most radios. When connecting past the FM detector, a fourth COS connection must be made.
Noise Squelch Connection: Connect to a point that has considerable voltage swing when the squelch is opened/closed. The best point to connect is to the collector of the transistor that controls the busy light (if the radio has one). Otherwise, connect to the output of the noise rectifier. DPL or CTCSS Squelch: The receivers' DPL or CTCSS decoder will have a logic output that goes high or low when a properly encoded signal is received. Connect this point to the COS input.
If you prefer to inject these tones directly into the modulator via the TONE port, remove resistor R-48 instead. If the TSU-32P option is not installed and you want your signaling tones to come out the AUDIO OUT port, there is no need to remove R-48 or R-105. R-48 is U-14. POWER: near the Beeps/CW ID pot. R-105 is near IC Connect to a source of 12-14 VDC that can supply up to 300 MA. The 9800 is reverse polarity protected, so a polarity mistake will not damage your 9800.
ADJUSTMENTS Initial settings: Set P1, P2 and P11, fully counterclockwise. Set P3, P4, P5, P6, P9, and P10 to mid rotation. Set P8 fully clockwise. POT PCB NAME FUNCTION P1 M->L: Mobile mobile panel mobile to land level: Initially adjust until DTMF decodes as indicated on front DTMF LED. Later, adjust for proper level as heard on telephone. Note: DTMF can not decode unless the noise LED is out indicating that a signal is being received.
P8 RX VOX: Receiver VOX sensitivity: Used in VOX simplex mode only. Sets RX audio triggering sensitivity. Should be fully CW in VOX simplex applications. Reduce setting when used through repeaters or trunked systems if land line cannot respond to mobile during hangtime due to noise or tone on the repeater's carrier. NOTE; When operating through a repeater as a control station patch, it is best to connect the AUDIO IN to the volume control and make a COS connection to the receiver.
JUMPER STRAP OPTIONS JP-1 Factory Installed. Cut only if the Electronic (Option 9801) is installed. (JP-1 is near U18) Voice Delay JP-2 Factory installed. Should only be cut if any signaling option has been installed. (JP-2 is near U7) JP-3 Audio output range strap. Strap in = low level (0-1 V). Strap cut = high level (0-5 V). Strap factory installed. (JP-3 is near U5) JP-4 Factory installed. Should only be cut if CTCSS option is installed. (JP-4 is near C9) JP-5 Factory installed.

Programming *, Pause or # The No. 1, 2 and 3 keys on the keypad are used as dual input keys. To program a phone number which contains any of these digits, briefly press the key and continue with the number, as you would with any other digit. To program a *, press the No. 1 key until a single bar '| ' is added to the display (approx. 3 seconds) then release the key. To program a pause, press the No. 2 key until a dash ' -' is added to the display. To program a #, hold down the No.
TOLL OVERRIDE PROGRAMMING (Programming Area No. 4) To enter the TOLL OVERRIDE 4 on the internal keypad switch. At this point, the No. 4 button, you will see programming area, press and hold button No. and then simultaneously turn on the power display will read 0.4. When you release the A.A. A.A. (GOTO Any Address) Press 'P' to begin entering TOLL OVERRIDE selections into memory line 0.1., or enter the TOLL OVERRIDE line number you wish to go to and then press 'P'.
HOW TO CREATE TOLL OVERRIDE CODES Programming area No. 4 allows you to create up to ten "exceptions" to Toll Restricts which have been programmed in Programming Area No. 1 lines 2.2. - 2.5. Toll Override selections may be up to 16 digits in length. Suppose you wish to be toll call protected, but at the same time, you would like to be able to call select area codes, exchanges within select area codes or specific phone numbers within select area codes.
REMOTE PROGRAMMING In addition to the built-in programming method which has been thoroughly described on preceding pages, your 9800 can also be programmed over the air from a mobile or portable radio using DTMF (Touch-tone) commands, or from any DTMF telephone (must be on a separate phone line) using the telephone's DTMF keypad. We recommend that you do not proceed with remote programming until you thoroughly understand and have mastered the built-in programming method using the internal keypad.
SELECTING THE DESIRED PROGRAMMING AREA AND FEEDBACK The type of feedback (beep or DTMF transpond) desired as well as the programming area (1-4) you wish to program are selected by appending the access code with a digit from the Table below. In over the air programming, you have a choice of either beep response or DTMF transpond. Therefore select 1-8. When programming from a telephone, you are limited to beep response feedback. Therefore select 1-4 only.
4. To exit remote programming mode, simply hit 0* to return to A.A. After hearing the Morse code AA (dit-dah dit-dah) then enter * for more than one second. The 9800 will respond with the Morse K (dahdit-dah) and then return to the operate mode. Note: If there is no DTMF programming activity for 25 seconds, the 9800 will automatically return to the operate mode.
Return to A.A. by hitting 0* you will then hear Morse code AA (ditdah dit-dah) after you let go of the PTT button. At this point you could either branch to a new programming line to make additional programming changes, or... Exit remote programming mode by holding down the * for more than one second. The 9800 will respond with the Morse K (dah-dit-dah) and then return to the operate mode. Example of programming from a telephone: Before you begin two points must be made: 1.
OPERATION Important: The 9800 displays all DTMF digits on the internal display as they are decoded. The DTMF digits * and # are shown as a '| ' and '||'. If the 9800 is set for pulse dialout (1.8. set to 0) the display shows the phone number currently being outpulsed rather than the incoming DTMF. PLACING OUTGOING CALLS DIALING A CALL MANUALLY: From the mobile press *, then enter the access code (if any) that was selected on line 1.4. or, enter the secret toll override access code that was set on line 1.5.
PROGRAMMING THE SPEED DIALER FROM THE MOBILE: Writing a phone number into the speed dialer memory from the mobile is accomplished with a slight variation on ordinary manual dialing. Before you enter your access code, send 9 followed by the desired memory location number. e.g. You wish to place a call to 277-1463 and simultaneously add the number to speed dial memory location 6. From the mobile, enter 9 6 then the access code.
PLACING A CALL WITH THE SPEED DIALER: Once a phone number has been stored, calling back is a snap! Simply precede the access code with the appropriate memory location number. Soon, your intended number will be ringing. Example: Your access code has been set as * only. You wish to call a friend whose phone number has been previously stored in location 24. Simply enter 24 * on your mobile keypad. Another example: Your access code is *391, and you wish to speed dial the number in memory location No. 7.
TIMEOUT TIMER: Calls will automatically disconnect at the end of the time you selected on line 2.7. Two quick beeps heard in succession every two seconds during the final twenty seconds warn that time out is imminent. The timeout timer can be reset by the mobile by pressing *. DISCONNECTING WHEN THROUGH: If a "0" was entered on line 1.6. simply press # to disconnect. If a "1" was entered, press # plus the connect digits that were selected on line 1.4. FIVE PRESS AUTO DIAL: If a "1" was entered on line 1.7.
TELEPHONE REMOTE BASE: You can dispatch and have full use of your system from any telephone by entering a 1 or 2 on (3.9.)... Enter 0 if you are going to use mobile selective calling. Enter 1 if you would like to access your radio system (Remote Base) from any phone without the need to enter the system access code. Enter 2 if you prefer that an access code is required to enter remote base mode. Dial as described below after the beep: From DTMF Telephones: Use Mobile Access Code programmed on 1.4.
The 9800 will hold the auto answered call for thirty seconds giving the mobile time to respond. To answer a call and activate the two way capability, the mobile must send the connect code (1.4.). When the call is completed, the mobile should send the disconnect code (1.6.). TALK BACK PAGING: A 3-27 second (4.1.) one way voice message can be delivered to any pager or mobile from any telephone.
OPERATION THROUGH REPEATERS OR TRUNKED SYSTEMS (Only possible in the VOX mode) Operating the 9800 through a repeater appears to the user as straight simplex operation. It makes no difference if the repeater is DPL/CTCSS or carrier activated, or if the repeater has hang time. Actually, three or four seconds of hang time will improve operation because there will be fewer noises to distract the conversation. The optional .

TYPICAL APPLICATIONS FOR THE AUXILIARY RELAY (Option 9805) Remote_CTCSS_Enable/Disable: When using the 9800 as a Remote Base, it is desirable to monitor the channel for activity prior to dispatching. The auxiliary relay can be used to allow the remote switching of the radio's hook switch. Pressing 0 turns the relay on. Pressing * turns the relay back off. Thus the radio can be set to carrier receive and back to DPL/CTCSS operation remotely. Enter 1 (Monitor) on line 3.1.
ELECTRONIC VOICE DELAY Option 9801 In VOX mode, word clipping or word loss is directly proportional to radio T/R speed in simplex systems and repeater pick up time when used through repeaters. The slower the system, the more desirable voice delay becomes. The 9801 electronically delays audio originating from the telephone by .5 second. This in effect means that the transmitter has been keyed for .5 second before the audio even began! This timing makes word loss virtually impossible.
Connect Systems Inc.
CTCSS BOARD (Option TSU-32P) Sub-audible Continuous Tone Coded Squelch System (CTCSS) tones can be added to the 9800 by simply plugging in a board. This option allows the 9800 to have CTCSS operation when connected to a radio which is not equipped with a built-in CTCSS decoder. CTCSS operation allows the 9800 to respond only to those mobiles which are encoding the correct tone frequency. Thus providing discrimination against unwanted signals.
AUSTEL (Australia Version) The U.S.A. / Canada version of the 9800 has been modified to conform to AUSTEL requirements. The AUSTEL interface circuit above replaces the U.S.A. / Canada interface circuit which is surrounded with dashed lines on the 9800 schematic diagram.
