PULSE AIR DATA MODEM TNM-M-E-0055 Jan 17 Page 14 Issue 1.0 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 SIMOCO PULSE AIR DATA MODEM The Simoco Pulse Air Data Modem is one of the Simoco Pulse suite of products, which enable organisations to deploy Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) telemetry applications over narrowband Private Mobile Radio (PMR). Using wireless radio infrastructure as the communications carrier, Simoco’s Pulse solutions enable SCADA applications to be quickly and cost effectively deployed across large operational areas. The Simoco Pulse Air Data Modem is a DC powered, standalone unit based on the SDP600 Series Portables Radio Transceivers that connects to a local Remote Telemetry Unit (RTU) using a serial port. Distributed Network Protocol 3 (DNP3) control messages are wirelessly transported between Master and Slave over a PMR system using Digital Mobile Radio (DMR) modulation and Tier III trunking protocols. The infrastructure end is comprised of a DMR base station that has an integrated RTU gateway, which, via a User Datagram Protocol (UDP) Internet Protocol (IP) connection to an IP to Serial converter, will relay any DNP3 message to and from its connected Master to and from the applicable Slave RTU unit within the radio coverage of the base station. 1.2 SPECIFICATIONS The specifications of the Simoco Pulse Air Data Modem are detailed in the following paragraphs and tables. 1.2.1 General The general specifications are shown below in Table 1. Table 1. General Specifications. Frequency Bands AC: 136 MHz – 174 MHz. TU: 400 MHz – 480 MHz. UW: 440 MHz – 520 MHz.

The functions of each connector are detailed in Table 6. Figure 3. Data Modem Connectors. Table 6. Data Modem Connections. Connector # Conn Type Function PWR Power I/P ANTENNA SMA (female) Antenna COM D Type (female) Serial Port 2.2.1 Antenna Connection The antenna connection on the Pulse Air Data Modem is provided with a 50 Ω female SMA socket. The Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR) of the antenna connection should be tested prior to use by using of a suitable test set, e.g. an Anritsu/Wiltron S331A. A VSWR of 1.5:1 or better at the relevant frequencies should be ensured. Mating connectors should be galvanically compatible with nickel outer and gold centre pin to minimise passive intermodulation. It is recommended that a good quality flexible co-axial cable is used, e.g. with double-screening braid and multi-strand copper inner. CAUTION The Antenna System should be protected against lightning by means of an earthing system and surge protection device. Do not connect Antenna Lightning conductors to the base station or Mains Earth.
