SECTION 7 - SYSTEM CHECKOUT
1.
General
This section contains a system checkout procedure to verify the operation of the C-5000 and
transceiver installation. The following procedures are intended to provide sufficient exercising of
the system configuration to assure that system parameter selection/control and transmit/receive
functions are operating properly.
A. Terms, Definitions and Limitations
If there is only one transceiver connected to the C-5000, ignore instructions in this checkout
procedure that apply to transceiver #2.
While the C-5000 is actually just the control head for multiple transceivers, this checkout
procedure often refers to the C-5000 system and includes all transceivers and ancillary
equipment.
The terms "C-5000" and "Control Head" are used interchangeably within this document.
The terms "transceiver", "radio", and "RT" are used interchangeably within this document.
"Main" receiver or transmitter refers to the part of the RT-5000 transceiver that can
communicate over the complete bandwidth of the radio. Every Wulfsberg transceiver has a
"Main" receiver/transmitter.
"Guard Receiver" refers to the single channel receiver or multi-band (29.7 to 960 MHz,
RT-5000 only) receiver that may be included along with the Main transceiver. This receiver is
co-located inside the radio.
"MTM Guard" is a special type Guard that incorporates up to two (2) transceiver modules that
are capable of special functions such as Digital Modulation (P25), Trunking, or Encryption.
RT-5000 part numbers -0611 through -2811 have this module.
"ITM" or Internal Transceiver Module refers to the individual transceiver modules within the
MTM Guard.
There can be one or two ITM's per MTM Guard. Currently, one module must be below 400
MHz (VHFXXX) and the other above 400 MHz (UHFXXX). These modules are capable of
BOTH receiving and transmitting. The programming of these units must be performed with
software available ONLY from Motorola.
