MTR2000 and DC remote

Post by arlojanis »

Is DC remote a programmable option on MTR2000 VHF ? IF not, can a CPI DC panel be used?

I don't recall whether the MTR2000 controller includes a built-in DC termination. However, there is a pretty good article available from [email protected] on interfacing the MTR via the 96-pin Euro connector.

The /\/\ MTR2000 Product Group decided not to offer DC as an option.

Utilyzing the J5 96 Pin System Connector, you may or may not be required to order the X151 AUX I/O Module or CLN1206 FRU for $600.00 Each.

If you're ordering the X151 option from the factory, you must order the X233 & C540 options at the same time.

The X233 option ADD: Wild Card Operation for $200.00 Each.
The C540 option ADD: System Connector Cable Kit or order from the Parts Dept (1) TKN9205A for $50.00 Each.

This will enable or allow the station to do many other functions such as Multi-Frequency or special functions between the Base Station and the customer supplied external controllers.

Here’s a few options for interfacing a DC Remote Controller on the MTR2000 Base and/or Repeater Station. You should first have the MTR Instruction Manual to refer to, go to the Tab labeled Station Backplane and start reading that section. On the backside of the station, there's a DB25 connector labeled 6809/MRTI for either Trunking or the Telephone Interconnect Interface that provides almost everything except the +14.2 VDC.

Your second alternative would be to use the System Connector J5 and purchase a TKN9205A System Connector Plug with 30 Green wires 24 AWG with the Pins crimped on one end that insert into the P5 Plug. The other ends are designed to be punched down into a Telco Demarc Block, Motorola Part # 0183652P01 or equivalent that allow you interface to the outside world. Watch what may seem like active signal Inputs and Outputs as they could require additional hardware such as the AUX I / O Module. These would labeled either WCO or WCI.

There’s a third alternative by ordering (1) FRU CLN1206A AUX I / O Module, (1) TKN9205A and (1) 0183652P01 Telco Demarc Block. You’ll be required to install the CLN6698 into the top module slot of the mechanical card cage chassis, READ the station’s configuration, enable the CLN6698 in the station’s software configuration and WRITE this info back into the station allowing it to do the Reset and Initialization recognizing the Wild Card module. Once this is accomplished you will be required to Write software scripting tables for the WCO (Outputs) and WCI (Inputs) associated with the System Connector J5 Pins. While scripting do not enable any of the I / O circles with Black dots otherwise you will create major problems associated with the Wild Card. Also watch the Wild Card Action and In Action Table scripting, as it is a little confusing at first till you get the hang of the logic process scripting.
