General Introduction General The Model 280 and Model 284 Digital Tone Remotes contain all the unique features and audio performance required to handle critical communications in the public safety and utility market segments. It is designed to provide the highest quality audio and most dependable operation to fully support the rigorous demands of emergency, multi-operator applications.
Introduction Digital Audio The digital processing of voice audio is a major innovation in the performance of tone remote controllers. It not only provides clean and sharp audio at the speaker, but it also makes the remote easier to use. An operator can begin speaking immediately upon pressing the transmit button.
General Paging Encoder The Digital Tone Remote is equipped with a versatile, built-in, paging encoder. This provides an easy method of selecting specific field radios and pagers for receiving alerts and voice pages. The encoder supports Two-Tone (both 100- and 1000-call), DTMF (all 16 tone pairs), Five-Tone signaling (EIA, CCIR, ZVEI tone groups), and Pulsed-Tone Dialing.
Introduction convenience, a battery-backed clock is included on the display which can be programmed for either the 12- or 24-hour format. This clock can also be disabled during setup for dispatch centers that require the use of a central, master clock. Programmable Key Functions The Zetron Digital Tone Remotes have been specifically designed to support being customized to fit the exact needs of the end user.
General An output is provided for supervisory takeover control. In an emergency situation a supervisory operator can cut off other remotes to seize immediate control of the system. The remote used by this supervisor would be wired in the system such that, electrically speaking, it was the closest remote in the system to the base station termination panel. The output on the deskset is an open-drain FET that can be used to operate an external, usersupplied relay.

Specifications Alphanumeric Labels Speaker Audio Mute Timeout Unselect Audio 16 character names for each frequency select (F1-F8), the Model 284 has a full set of programmable labels for each line controlled Programmable as to whether the speaker is muted or active when the handset is off-hook Programmable from 0 to 240 seconds The Model 284 can provide combined select and unselect audio at its speaker. Audio from unselected lines is summed at individually programmable levels.
Operation Overview This section discusses the normal operations of the remote deskset. It will cover how to operate the controls and the indications that should be observed by the operator as he or she uses the unit. Power Earlier models are powered once the power supply is connected. Later models have a power switch at the back/top of the unit. Switch Functions Refer to Figure 1 while reviewing the switch function descriptions for the Digital Tone Remotes.
Operation the receiver for channel monitoring. Pressing TRANSMIT will return the receiver to the squelched condition. Clear The CLEAR button is located on the right hand side of the remote, the top button in the column of three that has the TRANSMIT button in it. This button is primarily used to clear paging entries made from the keypad. It is also used in the SETUP mode. This button has no indicator LED associated with it since its effect will be seen in the LCD display window.
Line Select Keys This row of keys only exists on the Model 284, Multi-line Tone Remote. One of these keys would be programmed for each one of the base station control lines interfaced to the remote. Each of these keys has two LEDs associated with it, a green and a red. The green LED indicates the currently selected line for this remote. The red LED is used to indicate activity on the other, unselected base station lines.
Operation assigned to it or the complete entry is not a valid capcode under the rules for the format in use, then the remote will return an error message and prompt the operator to try again. Paging entries can be canceled or cleared either before or after a page is made by pressing the CLEAR button which is next to the upper right hand corner of the paging keypad.
each channel can have an alphanumeric label assigned to it so that operators can more easily confirm they have the correct channel selected. The default use for the bottom line of the display is a VU meter on the left side and a clock on the right. The VU meter gives a real time indication of audio levels for both receive and transmit audio. The clock can be configured to display in either the 12-hour or 24-hour format when the remote is set up.
Operation right hand end of the lower line) will be rotating slowly in a clockwise direction to indicate that the unit is operating normally during this time. When the remote finishes configuring itself, its display will look something like Figure 4. Figure 4: Post Power-On Display F1 Channel Label 11:35 The exact text appearing on the top line and the presence of the clock display will depend on how the remote was configured when it was initially programmed from a PC.
Call Decoder The call decoder feature works in conjunction with a Zetron HEAR Decoder and allows field radios to alert a specific remote or group of remotes. This is useful for cases where the remote operators wish to hear only those transmissions intended for themselves and not hear all traffic on the channel. When an incoming call is decoded, the alerted remote (or remotes) will unmute audio, flash an LE, and (optionally) send an audible alert tone out the speaker.
Operation Paging Feature The number of formats supported, the different ways in which to initiate a page, keyup delay, tone levels, and frequency equalization curves are all organized to allow the end users to operate the remote in the ways that suit their needs rather than reorganizing their operations to suit the remote.
Note The transmitting of pages can only be accomplished by pressing either the TRANSMIT button in the lower right hand corner of the remote deskset, or the button above it, depending on the system programming. The PTT bar in the handset will not cause a page to be transmitted, even if the handset is off-hook. Single Format Paging If only one paging format is to be supported, the remote does not require that a leading digit be entered to make a page.
Operation Stack Paging The Digital Tone Remotes support the function of stack paging, that is, paging a number of different users as the result of a single paging entry on the remote. The Digital Tone Remotes can support a total of ten stack pages, and each of these stacks can have up to ten pagers included in them. The stack must be programmed into the remote by the installer. In order to allow entry of stack pages, this function has a leading digit assigned to it just like the paging formats do.
Overview Installation Overview This section contains information and instructions on installing Zetron’s Digital Tone Remotes into either new or existing radio systems. It covers both the physical installation of the unit and the initial setting of audio levels. It does not cover the programming of the remote as far as functions of its programmable buttons or its paging feature. Those features are covered in Programming on page 45.
Installation Generic System Diagram Figure 6 gives the general layout of a typical remote system. The common cable path will run out from the termination panel at the base station site to the farthest remote in the system. This remote must be set to a 600 Ω impedance in order to properly terminate the transmission line. Any other remotes in the system which are bridged across the line closer to the termination panel must be set to a high impedance in order to keep them from loading the line.
Setup Mode Switch Functions While Figure 7 does not show them, nor Table 1 mention them, the four Line Select buttons on the Model 284 remain functional while in the setup mode. The level setting tests can be done on each of the four lines by using the Line Select keys to choose which one to work on. Table 1: Key Functions in Setup Mode Key # Function Description 1 HOURS UP 2 3 MINUTES UP RX dBm METER Used for setting the time of day clock. Press this key multiple times to cycle the hours upward.

Installation Unselect Volume Setup In a Model 284 the Setup Mode also provides access to setting the volume of unselect audio. The audio level from each line can be set individually in this mode using the keys shown in Figure 8. In actual operation, the composite audio signal is formed by summing the audio from each unselected line at that line’s volume setting. The volume of the selected line’s audio is not affected by this setting.
Installation of System Components ! Caution! To prevent induction of high frequency signals from the circuit board electronics, interface wires should not be allowed to drape over the circuit board, but instead should be routed directly toward the access at the bottom of the unit. Power Connections The Digital Tone Remotes must be properly grounded. The simplest method for proper grounding is to use Zetron's 13.5VDC switching power supply (P/N 802-0692) in a grounded outlet.
Installation If a headset with a carbon or electret mic element is to be used with the Tone Remote it should be plugged into the 4-conductor handset jack. A headset interface box is available from Zetron for connecting a 4- or 6-wire headset with a two pronged jack to the handset jack. If a footswitch is to be used with the headset, the footswitch can be wired to the “PTT” input of “TB3” with “JP6” in Position A (no desk mic allowed in this configuration).
Level Setting of System Components All termination jumpers should be in the high impedance position except for the last deskset at the end of each line. If there is only one deskset, then it is the end of the line. Set this deskset to the low impedance mode (JP1 = Position A for 2-wire, and JP4 = Position A for 4-wire. For the Model 284, also set jumpers JP3, JP8, and JP9 to Position A for 4wire, and set jumpers JP2, JP7, and JP10 to Position A for 2-wire).
Installation Press function key #4 to start the “Transmit Level Set” test. Cycle the same key until the 1000 Hz test tone is selected. The display should look like Figure 9. The transmitter will be keyed and a 1000 Hz tone will be going out. Figure 9: Transmit Level Set Screen TX Test Tones 1000.0 Hz On the bottom of the remote, locate the potentiometer labeled “TX LVL 1” (R3) and adjust it until meter across the transmit line reads 0 dBm, or 775 millivolts RMS (or 2.
Level Setting of System Components all the other remotes. Doing the test this way may require the installer to enlist the aid of another person and set up temporary communications between the remote sites, depending on the layout of the system and the distance between remotes. The remotes should be connected to a base station or equivalent 600 Ω termination during this test.
Installation Setting the Transmit Deviation Once the transmit audio level out of the remote desksets have been set, you can use any remote in the system as a source of test tone for setting the base station transmitter deviation. Set up your service monitor to measure the deviation on one of the system’s channels. Select a deskset and use it to select the same channel on the base station that you set the service monitor for. Then enter the Setup mode by pressing function keys #1 and #8.
Level Setting of System Components The remote will key the transmitter and then begin sweeping the audio band from low to high. The display should appear as shown in Figure 12. To step up or down through the range of frequencies use the “9” or the “7” key respectively. The frequency displayed in the screen will change, and its current output level will be displayed.
Installation Controls and Jumpers The two following lists are made available as a quick reference for the technician or installer. The explanations are brief and to the point. They mainly serve a fast way to find out a little more about controls and jumpers found on the analog board schematics.

The default position is “A”, which terminates the line at 600 Ω.
Installation Jumper Configuration The line impedance of the tone remote is configured using jumpers. Remotes are configured for either a low impedance (600Ω) if they terminate the transmission line, or a high impedance (6000Ω) if they do not. Table 2 covers the configuration of the Model 280 remote. Table 3 covers the configuration of all four line inputs on the Model 284.

Installation Key Cap Labels (Master Sheet) This page is provided as a reusable master from which you can make copies of the key cap labels. They are correctly sized so that if you cut along the outside lines of the boxes, the labels should just fit inside the removable covers of the programmable keys on the tone remotes. Blanks have been provided so that you can type up your own labels if you need to.
Programming Overview This section deals with using the Zetron ZIPR Off-line Programming Interface software and the serial port interface adapter to configure the Digital Tone Remotes. It covers installing the software on your PC, connecting the PC to the unit using interface adapter, a few tips on using the program, a summary of the programmable features, and how to program a remote. There are several reasons for using PC software for configuring the tone remote desksets.
Programming Serial Interface The purpose of the Serial Interface adapter is to convert from the voltages normally used in RS-232 serial ports on computers to the TTL levels used in the serial port on the Digital Tone Remote desksets. The entire adapter is housed inside what looks like the shell for a DB-25 cable connector, and is powered off the RS-232 port. If your PC has a DB-9 type socket for the serial port you intend to use, then you will need to provide the 9-pin-to-25pin serial port adapter.
Tips on Using the Program General Layout The ZIPR program was designed to be as easy and straight forward as possible. The various selection windows are equipped with text boxes to explain their purpose and how to use them, and additional, context sensitive Help windows can be called up for many menu items. To call up a Help window, press the F1 key. If a Help window is available for the menu item you currently have selected, then you will see it displayed.

predetermined choices until a suitable one appears, or directly entering a numeric value or an alpha label. In the case of choosing from a list, the technician presses the SPACE BAR (or the left/right arrow keys) to step through the list and then the ENTER key to accept the choice displayed. In the case of direct entry parameters, a number or text string (within the limitations of the parameter) is typed in, followed by pressing the ENTER key.
Programming These default files are provided to give the technician the ability to become familiar with the menus and options within the 280 and 284 without the need to be connected to a tone remote. The specific menu items available for programming based on your remote's firmware version is only determined by the Zipr programming utility when a remote is read and the firmware configuration is obtained. Saving Files ZIPR has two commands in the (F)ile menu for saving the programming for a remote to disk.
Coded/Clear This is a toggle function in which one function tone is sent to the base station upon activating the function and another is sent when disabling it. Typically used to enable/ disable a voice scrambling device at the station. Repeater On/Off Another toggle function with different function tones sent upon turning on or off this feature. Typically used to place the repeater in/out of service.
Programming Mute This mutes the local audio output from the remote deskset. It remains active for the programmed length of the mute timeout. Off-hook Speaker Mute This mutes the speaker when the handset is off-hook, but audio is still passed to the handset for semi-private conversations. It remains active for the programmed length of the mute timeout. Unselect Mute This mutes the Unselect audio output on a Model 284.
Privacy This mutes the local audio output at the other desksets in the system to allow private communication with the radio users. Function tones are sent upon turning on/off privacy. Parallel Model 280s or 284s (if programmed for the correct privacy tones) will mute their audio and flash the Privacy LED upon detecting the Privacy on tone. They will unmute upon detecting the Privacy off tone, or Privacy will automatically time out after 25 seconds of inactivity.
Programming Key (4) Programmable function key #4 can be assigned as “Fd Select” or as “Fg/Fh Select”. It can also be assigned to any of the functions found in Programmable Key Functions on page 50. Key (5) Programmable function key #5 can be assigned as “Fe Select”, or it can also be assigned to any of the functions found in Programmable Key Functions on page 50.
K(E)y L2 This function is only found in Model 284 remotes. This stands for “Line Key L2”. It is used to enable this key if there is a base station or repeater connected to this line. It should be disabled if there is no station connected. This will also allow the technician to specify which frequencies are available on this base station (Fa through Fh). Ke(Y) L3 This function is only found in Model 284 remotes. This stands for “Line Key L3”.
Programming of upper and lower case letters or numerals. This menu item applies to Model 284 remotes only. Alpha(N)umeric labels line 4 This menu item allows the technician to assign meaningful text labels to the various frequencies enabled for Line 4. Whenever a position is programmed, the text entered will be shown on the top line of the remote’s display when that frequency is selected.
(M)ute frequency This menu item sets the control tone to mute audio if the Call Decoder feature is enabled. It draws its control from the frequencies listed in Table 10. (P)rivacy This menu item sets the control tones used to turn on/off the privacy function between remotes. It draws its control tones from the frequencies listed in Table 9. The function can also be disabled from this screen. F(A) Frequency through F(H) Frequency Each of these menu items works the same way.
Programming Parameter Range Description Guard Tone Duration 0 to 900 milliseconds Function tones sent When selected Upon transmit Function Tone 0 to 250 Duration milliseconds Function Tone Yes, No Removal Sets the duration of the high level Guard Tone. Type in a value and press ENTER. Sets whether function control tones are sent immediately when their key is pressed, or only after the transmit key is pressed. Sets the duration of the function tones. Type in a value and press ENTER.
Parameter Mute Timeout Range Description 0 to 240 seconds Enter a Mute timeout value in this field. When a mute function is selected, the speaker will automatically be unmuted after this amount of time elapses. To disable the expiration of this timer, enter a value of “0:00” (minutes:seconds). The maximum time allowed is 4:00 minutes. Please note, if you enter the time without a colon, it will be interpreted as seconds.
Programming Table 12: Line Parameters Parameter Range Description Line 1 Call Decoder Enabled, Enable or disable the call alert decoder on each line. Enabling the decoder enables the call alert unmute and mute frequencies on the line. Reception of either of the call alert unmute frequencies will cause the remote to unmute audio, rapidly flash an LED, and send an audible call alert “ringing” tone. Enter a call alert timeout in this field.
after making changes, the ZIPR program will ask you first whether or not you really want to abandon the changes made. (A)udible paging tones This is a Yes/No setting. When set to Yes, the paging tones being sent to the transmitter will also be heard out the local speaker on the remote deskset. (L)ive DTMF This parameter selects a leading digit for allowing live DTMF to be sent from the deskset key pad.
Programming provide alphanumeric labels for paging users, to support the Instant Call feature (single key press paging), and the Stack Page feature. Each user position provides for an alphanumeric label, the paging capcode for that user (including the leading digit for the correct paging format), and the assignment of a specific transmit frequency to be used whenever this user is paged. The default for all users is for the page to be made on whichever frequency is selected.
Programming a Remote Since many persons learn better by example than by just reading a dry review of the “facts”, this subsection is devoted to the steps involved in taking one of the default files, renaming it, editing its features, saving it to disk, and then writing it to the remote. For the purposes of this example, the system will have three Model 280 remotes connected to a single base station that can operate on two channels.
Programming Selecting Key Functions The Model 280 has nine programmable function keys. The default file loaded at the beginning of this example has already assigned the following functions to these keys: Key #1: Fa/Fb Select Key #6: PL2 Select Key #2: Alert (slow siren) Key #7: PL3 Select Key #3: Repeater on/off Key #8: PL4 Select Key #4: 2nd Receiver Mute Key #9: Monitor Key #5: PL1 Select We will be looking at key #1 and changing the functions of keys #7, #8, #9.
Figure 18: Selecting Function Tones for Key #1 Once the necessary control tones have been selected, the program will return to the original key assignment screen. Use the arrow keys to move down the list and select key #7, then press ENTER. Use the arrow keys to select the Mute function. The next widow to open asks you to adjust the level of muting when this function is in use. This number indicates what percentage of normal volume will be present when the Mute function is being used.
Programming Figure 19: Key Summary Display Assigning Alphanumeric Labels Select the (A)lphanumeric labels function, at the bottom of the keys list and press ENTER. The window shown in Figure 20 will open. The function of this window is to allow the installer to assign text labels to the radio channels to aid the system operators in identifying which channel is selected. The labels can be up to 16 characters in length, including spaces.
Configuring the Paging Feature Note If paging will not be used, then the paging feature should be disabled. Otherwise, lockup may occur when the Page Send key is pressed. See Deactivating the Paging Feature on page 69. From the (E)diting window, select the (P)aging menu using the arrow keys. The first thing we will do in this example is to configure the remote to support multiple paging formats. The default is for DTMF only. Select the f(O)rmat command and press ENTER.
Programming Figure 22: Assigning Leading Digits to Paging Formats At this point, the three leading digits “0”, “1”, and “3” have each been assigned paging formats, however, we still have not adjusted any of the parameters specific to these formats. Use the arrow keys to move the bar back up Digit 0, then press the F9 key. A new window will open that allows you to specify a Talk time to follow a stack page and an Alert tone if you wish. Press F10 to accept the default settings for this window.
Figure 23: Two-tone Paging Parameters Use F10 to save the parameters for the Two-tone format, then move the bar down to select Digit 3 and press F9. The DTMF parameters window will open. Once again, use the arrow keys to select parameters and follow the instructions in the Help window to set them. Then use the F10 key to save the changes. No additional data tables are provided for the DTMF format since there is only one tone set.
Programming Setting Up Users and Stacks The Digital Tone Remotes will allow the operator to make any page that is valid within the parameters of the paging formats it is programmed to support. If a leading digit is entered followed by a valid capcode and then the transmit key is pressed, then the remote will key the transmitter and send the page.
Figure 24: Edit User Database Entry Window Use the arrow keys to select User #2, press ENTER to start programming the parameters on that user and enter the data from the list, just as we did for User #1. Work your way down the list of users. When you have finished with User #6, keep pressing F10 until you are back at the (P)aging menu. The (U)ser summary menu selection will display all of the paging database user specific programming in one list. The screen for the first forty users is shown in Figure 16.
Programming Figure 25: Stack Page Programming Window Writing to a Remote The follow sequence of steps will allow the technician to write the contents of a programming file into a new (or used) remote. Plug the Zetron RS-232 adapter (Part No. 815-9136) into the serial port of the computer running the ZIPR program. Use an adapter if necessary to interface the 25-pin DB package to whatever hardware the computer uses.
after power-up and then it is ready to operate based on the new programming loaded into it. If you attempt to write to a remote without first loading a programming file, or if the model of the remote connected to the computer does not match the hardware model of the loaded file, the ZIPR program will prompt you concerning the problem and suggest what you will need to do to resolve the conflict.
Programming way as the single line remotes. Remember the labels are limited to 16 character in length, including spaces. Figure 26: Enabling Line Select Keys Figure 27: Assigning Channel Labels for Line 1 The last window that is unique to the Model 284 is the (L)ine parameters window, under (O)ptions, see Figure 28. The purpose of this window is to allow you to choose a default channel for each line, specify its interface type, adjust its AGC dynamic range, and select its unselect volume level.
Figure 28: Line Specific Parameters Paging Format Data Tables The data tables presented here are meant to aid the installer in configuring the paging feature in the remote desksets to work with the pagers that the end user already has in service. There is no information provided for the DTMF or Pulsed Tone formats because all the information the installer needs is provided in the information windows that appear in the ZIPR program.
