General Description Introduction 12 TG660 DV17900.03 Issue 03  March 2017 1.1. Introduction TG660 is a VHF-transceiver. Depending on the variant, the TG660 is capable of delivering 6 W, 10 W or 50 W power (RF-carrier) to an external antenna.  TG660 features: •Voltage control: TG660 power supply logic is operating with AC-power by default. AfterAC-power failed, the logic automatically switches over to external DC-power. The momentAC-power becomes available the logic returns back to AC-power source.•Battery (option for 6 W and 10 W variants): An optional internal 12 VDC rechargeablebattery inside the TG660 provide power to continue operation with reduced RF power 6 Wover a certain time if AC and external DC supply voltage fail at the same time.•Radio over IP (option): This option allows the TG660 to be connected to a Local AreaNetwork and the radio communication is performed over IP. In addition this optionprovides remote monitoring and control capabilities via a PC and a web browser•TG660 has a user-friendly HMI; all main components are on the front panel.o2-line 16 character liquid-crystal display (LCD)The selected frequency and operating status of the equipment, displayed on theLCD, inform about the current operating mode.oSeveral control elements (rotating knob and buttons),enables the user to change operating modes or operating frequency. Standbyswitch selected to “Standby” partially shuts down the TG660 internal power supply.Some power supply circuits continue listening to the “Standby Switch” to repowerthe unit at any time.•The “ON/OFF” switch, located on the rear panel, disconnects from AC supply completely.•TG660 VHF transceiver is protected against jammed transmit button or short circuit on thePTT line.•TG660 VHF transceiver is protected against antenna mismatch.For further descriptions we are using the term TG660 instead writing the complete model number.

General Description Scope of Functionality 14 TG660 DV17900.03 Issue 03  March 2017 1.4. Scope of Functionality 1.4.1. Microphone Inputs Several microphone inputs are available for: •Standard microphone unbalanced, DC coupled and providing power supply for the mike.•Dynamic mike input balanced.•Symmetrical balanced input.These microphone inputs connect to a dynamic volume compressor inside of the remote controlled transceiver, which keeps the modulation voltage constant ≥ 80% over a wide mike signal input voltage range. 1.4.2. Audio Outputs TG660 has different outputs: •Headphone output•Speaker output•Line out•Voice recorder1.4.3. Side Tone Output In transmit mode, the side tone signal is routed to the line and phone output. 1.4.4. HMI The TG660 HMI provides a LC Display, a keypad, various function switches and the volume control and also operation with Web Browser via IP (see "Radio over IP "RoIP", page 15).  1.4.5. Loudspeaker The loudspeaker, located behind the front panel, switch off automatically during TX. This avoids acoustic coupling between loudspeaker and the microphone, which can cause acoustical feedback. 1.4.6. Rear Panel TG660 rear panel layout: •Terminal for ground connection.•AC power connector with integrated ON/OFF switch and safety fuse.•Fuse 1 (DC extern input).•Fuse 2 (internal battery if installed) or Power Amplifier for TG660-25 or TG660-50.•DC extern socket (STAKEI 2 connector).•LAN socket (RJ45).•Remote connector (D-Sub9pin).•Record / DF connector (D-Sub15pin).•LINE / AUX connector (D-Sub25pin).•Antenna connection (N-Type).•TG660-50 (Reflectometer) 1.4.7. Self-Test After power "ON" a system self-test is performed. Detected errors show up on the display otherwise the unit changes into the last used operation mode. PRELIMINARY
General Description Safety-Conscious Utilization DV17900.03 Issue 03  March 2017 TG660 15 1.4.8. Options Following options are available with all TG660 variants and all combinations. 1.4.8.1. Internal Battery An optional internal 12 VDC battery (rechargeable) inside the TG660 (only 6 W and 10 W variants) provide power supply to continue operation over a certain time if AC and external DC supply voltage fail at the same time.  Please note the TG660 functionality will be limited during operation in battery mode : •Reduced RF power 6 W.•Limited remote operation available.1.4.8.2. Radio over IP "RoIP" The RoIP (Radio over IP) option provides the possibility to connect the desktop control heads via the local area network (LAN) to the radios. Thus common infrastructure can be used and almost unlimited distances can be bridged. As audio data and control data are transformed to TCP/IP over Ethernet no degradation of voice quality is present. Furthermore, connections via the Internet can be used. Beside the voice communication also control signals are transferred via the LAN and thus provide Remote Control & Monitoring functionality to the user. The configuration of the TG660 may be changed via a web interface. Figure 1: System: TG660 with "Radio over IP" (RoIP) Option 1.5.

Connector AC/Line Power Supply (Rear) Figure 12: TG660 - Connector AC/Line Power Supply (Rear) •The AC/Line panel provides a socket to connect 220V/115V.•Additionally an ON/OFF switch to disconnect AC power from all TG660 circuits.The TG660 power supply logic operates with AC power by default. After AC power failed, the logic automatically switches over to DC power. The moment AC power becomes available the logic returns back to AC power source. An optional internal 12 VDC rechargeable battery, installed inside the TG660, provides the power to continue operation of the TG660 in case AC and DC supply voltage would fail at the same time. During battery operation the TX power of a 10 W transceiver will be reduced to 6 W (emergency operation). In battery mode the TG660 will operate for around 4 h (duty cycle 20%), if the battery is fully loaded. However, the operational time is strongly dependent on its utilization.  The capacity of the battery is reduced over its lifetime, which depends on various factors (e.g. number of cycles, storage/operating temperature, etc.).  Check the operational time of the battery regulary to ensure that the capacity of the battery is sufficient for its application. Otherwise the battery needs to be replaced. 24 V NCGNDPRELIMINARY

Installation Configuration via PC DV17900.03 Issue 03  March 2017 TG660 35 •In the appearing input screen (see image) the first three numbers of the IP address mustbe chosen analogously to the TG660 address.oEach IP may only appear once in a given network, the fourth number must bedifferent from the TG660 (0-254, not 191).•The subnet mask is set to 255.255.255.0 as for the TG660.•Confirm your input with "Add" and•Close all previously opened screens with "OK" or "Close".Figure 14: PC configuration: IP-address, sub net mask In case the first 3 numbers of your PC's standard IP address are already 192.168.16.XXX, you can skip the previous steps, but you have to take care that no other device with the IP 191 (4th number) is connected to the network during configuration. In more sophisticated network architectures the range 192.168.16.XXX could also be already used in another network segment. This kind of problems can be completely avoided if TG660 and PC are connected to a to a separate network hub or switch, which is solely used for that purpose. 2.8.2.

Installation Post Installation Check 36 TG660 DV17900.03 Issue 03  March 2017 2.9. Post Installation Check Once the unit is installed completely a test procedure to verify system functionality. Ensure compliance with authority required procedures. The following chapter below provides guidance for such tests.  2.9.1. Mechanical Installation and Wiring Check •Verify all cables are securely fixed and shields connected properly to signal ground.•Verify all screws are tight, check if all connections are mechanically secured.2.9.2. Power Supply •Check the external DC connection and confirm correct polarity.2.9.3. Receiver / Transmitter Operation •Perform a voice communication test. This test might be positive, if carried out close to thecorresponding radio-station, even if the antenna cable is broken or short-circuited. It willnot be possible to establish communication over a distance of 5 to 10 km in this case.•Speak loud to the microphone and keep it always close to the lips, otherwise ambientnoise can be intrusive and make understanding difficult.•Use only microphones or headsets, which are suitable for ground-stations. Incomingradiation on the equipment antenna can affect the integrated amplifier of the microphone(feedback). This is noticeable in the station by whistling and/or heavy distortion. Thedescribed disturbances can occur in different ways on different transmit channels.•Transmit buttons can stick, or TX line is short circuited thus causing continuous carriersignal on the active channel. Therefore ensure that the display (sign “”) disappearedwhen the “TX” button was released.2.9.4. Antenna Check •Check the VSWR (voltage standing wave ratio) over the complete frequency band (e.g. byusing a VHF Reflection-Coefficient Meter).The VSWR ratio should be less than 2:1 and is not acceptable when exceeding 3:1.PRELIMINARY
