XTS2500 Radio Installation Kit
The XTS2500 radio installation kit (ACE3600 option V156AG or kit FLN3814A) enables the
user to install the XTS2500 radio in ACE3600 Remote Terminal Units (RTU). The RTU can
use the XTS2500 in digital mode to communicate over the ASTRO 6.x/7.x system. The
following hardware and firmware are required:
Radio firmware version 6.4 and above for trunked IV&D
ASTRO Infrastructure version SR6.5 and above for trunked IV&D
ACE3600 firmware 10.00 and above
ACE3600 System Tools Suite (STS) version 10.50 and above
The installation kit includes brackets, cables, screws and installation instructions.
After the XTS2500 radio is installed in the RTU, the RTU port is configured, the IP address
information is downloaded, the radio is context activated and finally, communication from the
RTU over the air is verified. For more information on MDLC over ASTRO IV&D (Integrated
Voice & Data), refer to the MDLC over IP chapter of the ACE3600 STS Advanced Features
Manual.
Installation
Before installing the XTS2500 radio on the RTU, configure the power supply AUX2A/B
connector to 7.5V DC in the ACE3600 STS site configuration (using the Power Supply <n>
Auxiliary 2 voltage parameter.) Download the updated site configuration to the RTU. Failure
to do so might damage the radio.
The installation kit includes a radio bracket, metal bracket with built-in screws, power cables,
communication cable, antenna cable and plastic strips. The XTS2500 can be mounted on the
ACE3600 RTU using the kit as follows:
Procedure 21-10 How to Install the XTS2500 Radio on the Metal Chassis
1.
Attach the XTS 2500 radio to the radio bracket (from FHN6674A). (See Figure 21-9.)
2.
Connect the programming cable (RKN4106A) provided with the radio to the Accessory
connector on the radio. (See Figure 21-11.) Connect the other end of the programming cable
to the 9-pin D-type (Radio) connector on the communication cable (FKN8516A) and tighten
the screws attached to the programming cable. Do not use the 25-pin connector; it is for
programming only.
3.
Connect the other end of the communication cable (RJ45 connector) to the plug-in port of
the ACE3600 CPU.
4.
Connect the 7.5V DC power cable (FKN8515A) to the AUX2A or AUX2B auxiliary
power output connector on the RTU power supply. Connect the other end of the power cable
to the DC adapter on the radio bracket (FHN6674A). (See Figure 21-10 and Figure 21-11.)
