XTL5000 Radio Installation Kit
The XTL5000 radio installation kit (ACE3600 option V681AT or V157AB) enables the user to
install the XTL5000 radio in ACE3600 Remote Terminal Units (RTU). The ACE3600 can use
the XTL5000 in two operation modes, depending on the system used.
• Digital mode (ACE3600 option V681AT) - suitable for Astro 6.x system trunked
ASTRO IV&D only
• Analog mode (ACE3600 option V157AB) - suitable for SmartNet 3.x system or Astro
4.x system (on the analog part only)
The following hardware and firmware are required:
• Radio firmware version 6.3E and above for digital trunked ASTRO IV&D. (For 6.3E,
HOST R04.51.01 DSP R04.50.00; for 6.5 HOST R05.00.00 and DSP R05.00.00)
• Radio firmware version 6.5E and above for analog trunked system (DSP version
R06.00.00 for radio firmware R06.01.00)
• ASTRO Infrastructure version SR6.3 and above for trunked ASTRO IV&D
• Smartnet version 3.x or Astro version 4.x for analog trunked system
• ACE3600 firmware 1.00 and above
• ACE3600 System Tools Suite (STS) version 1.00 and above
The FLN3649A/FLN3640A installation kits include a bracket, cables, and screws.
IMPORTANT: The XTL5000 radio control head must be radio option W4 for revolving power
button control head.
Installation
The XTL5000 radio can be mounted on the ACE3600 RTU using the metal bracket and cables
as follows:
Procedure 11-1 How to Install the XTL5000 Radio on the Metal Chassis
1. Attach the radio plug-in port from the installation kit (FLN3696A) to the desired opening
on the ACE3600 CPU module. For instructions on attaching plug-in ports, see
Connecting Plug-In Ports to the CPU Module in the CPU Module chapter above.
2. Attach the XTL5000 radio to the metal bracket (#0789422V41 from FHN6895A) using
the four supplied radio screws (#0310906A67), two on each side. (See Figure 11-1.)
The wider side of the bracket should be on the right side of the radio (closer to the
knobs.)
3. Connect the 26-pin connector of the signal cable (FKN8432A for digital mode or
FKN8438A for analog mode) to the Accessory connector on the radio. Connect the
opposite side of the signal cable to the port on the CPU module. (See Figure 11-2 and
Figure 11-4.) For digital mode use any of the serial on-board or plug-in ports. For
