C-5000 COMMUNICATION MANAGEMENT CONTROLLERINSTALLATION MANUALPublication No. 150-041118 Page 4-1Rev A Section 4 –Electrical InstallationSep 2001SECTION 4 - ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION1. GeneralThe following section describes the wiring requirements and options for the installation of thesystem. Because the system has so many features and options, it is recommended that theinstaller take the time to read pin descriptions and all notes on wiring diagrams before designingan installation.Figure 4-1 Rear View of C-50002. Wiring ConsiderationsTo simplify the systems design, follow the steps below:Step 1: Determine the type and number of radios. The C-5000 can control one or twotransceiver systems. The word system is used because a Flexcomm I installation can bemade of multiple transceivers electrically daisy chained to make one system. Based on thetype of radio, chose the part number of C-5000 that applies to your application.Step 2: Determine the type of antenna. For each transceiver, determine the appropriateantenna. For Flexcomm I transceivers, see the proper installation manuals for options. Forthe RT-5000, the process begins by determining if the user needs optimum 30-88MHzperformance. If so, the recommended antenna system will be an “active” antenna (i.e. onethat is electrically tuned for maximum performance). If the user rarely uses 30-88 MHz, thenpassive antenna is suggested. Passive antennas are less expensive and less complex toinstall. Remember that performance in the 30-88 MHz frequency range is very degraded vs.an active antenna.Step 3: Microphone/Headset. If only one radio is installed, use the primary mic/headsetport. If two radios are installed, use primary mic/headset for transceiver system #1 andsecondary mic/headset for transceiver system #2. If only one mic/headset port is availableon the audio panel, use the primary mic/headset port and configure the C-5000 to operate in“single mic mode”.

C-5000 COMMUNICATION MANAGEMENT CONTROLLERINSTALLATION MANUALPage 4-2 Publication No. 150-041118Section 4 – Electrical Installation Rev ASep 2001Step 4: Panel Lighting. Select the input pin on P500 for the desired backlighting.Options are 28 Vdc (pin 30) or 5 Vdc/5vrms (pin 8).Step 5: System Wiring. Based on steps 1-5, choose the wiring diagrams from thissection that apply to your configuration. Note that if you have two RT-5000’s in your system,copy the wiring illustrated for P501 to P502. In other words, choose the wiring for each radioand apply it to the appropriate connector.A. C-5000 System Interface Connector, P500 Wiring Considerations(1) P500 ConnectorFigure 4-2 P500 Connector

C-5000 COMMUNICATION MANAGEMENT CONTROLLERINSTALLATION MANUALPage 4-4 Publication No. 150-041118Section 4 – Electrical Installation Rev ASep 2001(3) Primary Carbon Mic HI/LO (Pins 9, 29)These pins provide a 150 Ohm input impedance for the crew microphone input. StandardCarbon Mic bias of 15V through 300 Ohms is provided. Standard modulation of 1 kHztone at 0.25 Vrms is factory set for ± 3 kHz deviation although an adjust range of 30 mVto 1.5 Vrms is provided by A2R174 on the system interface board.(4) Primary Mic PTT (Pin 18)This pin, when grounded, activates the transceiver system(s) selected for the primarymic/headset interface.Note: The primary mic LO and PTT should be connected together at the mic interface(audio panel or mic jack). Alternately, the mic LO should be grounded at the micinterface as mic bias is not provided unless mic LO is DC grounded.(5) Primary Headset Audio HI/COMMON (Pins 39, 40)The pins provide receive and sidetone audio output for the transceiver system(s) selectedfor the primary mic/headset interface. Standard audio levels of 100 mW into 600 Ohmload is provided for standard modulation although an adjustment range of 0.5 to 200 mWis provided by A2R86 of the system interface board.(6) Secondary Carbon Mic HI/LO, Secondary PTT, and Secondary Headset Audio (Pins10, 17, 20, 41)These pins provide a similar interface as the primary counterparts with some functionalexceptions. Although levels and impedances provided are the same, the secondaryinterface provides the limited function of talk and listen in clear, non-encrypted audio.Features provided by the primary interface i.e. Selectable audio routing through internalor external encryption systems integrated with the C-5000 are not supported at thesecondary interface.(7) Shield (Pin 11)All shields of signals originating at the C-5000 and terminating at other equipment shouldbe connected to this pin and left unterminated at the other equipment. Similarly, theshields of signals originating at other equipment and terminating at the C-5000 should begrounded at the other equipment and left unterminated at the C-5000.(8) 27.5 Vdc A/C Power and Ground (Pin 43, 44)These pins provide aircraft 27.5 Vdc power to the C-5000 system. Typical loading isapproximately 350 mA, however with external loading by auxiliary equipment connectedto ±15 V and +5 V pins provided, the current requirement can be 1.3 Amp at 27.5 Vdcand approach 2 Amps at low voltage. Appropriate circuit breaker should be provided withconsideration given to separately powered radio equipment as part of the basiccommunications equipment being controlled by the C-5000.

C-5000 COMMUNICATION MANAGEMENT CONTROLLERINSTALLATION MANUALPublication No. 150-041118 Page 4-5Rev A Section 4 –Electrical InstallationSep 2001(9) 28V, 5V, Common Lites (Pins 8, 30, 50)These pins provide for aircraft lite dimmer bus control of the keyboard lighting. Either28 Vdc, 5 Vrms or 5 Vdc lighting may be used. The C-5000 does not draw power fromthe buss but simply monitors the voltage for proper lite tracking. Only 5 V or 28 V may beconnected at once.(10) RS-422 TX, RS-422 RX1, RS-422 RX2 HI/LO (Pins 2, 24, 25, 45, 46, 47)These pins provide for a bi-directional digital data buss to other equipment on board theaircraft. Two separate receive inputs are provided and the transmit pair may beconnected to multiple RS-422 devices. The receive shields should be connected only atthe originating equipment and the transmit shield should only be connected to the C-5000shield pin.(11) Internal Cipher Select A, B, C (Pins 5, 6, 55)These pins are normally left unterminated and Internal Cipher Selection is managed fromthe C-5000. Alternately, pins A, B, and C may be grounded in a binary fashion to provideexternal selection of 1 of 7 internal cipher modes.(12) Internal Cipher Disable (Pin 14)This pin, when left unterminated, causes audio routing within the C-5000 to include theInternal Cipher Interface. By grounding this pin, audio routing of the following signals isto/from the external system interface for utilization with External Encryption Equipment,auxiliary systems and functions generally used in conjunction with military equipment.Associated signals routed to the External Interface are:Mic output, voice band transmit audio input, wideband transmit audio input, widebandreceive audio output, voice band receiver audio output, decoded/de-encrypted voiceband received audio input, guard receiver voice band audio output.This pin should normally be grounded unless an Internal Cipher module (or other specialmodule) is installed in the C-5000 and then it should be switched for Internal or Externalrouting of the "RT-X" signals.(13) External Cipher Active (Pin 36)This pin, when grounded, indicates to the C-5000 computer that external encryptionequipment connected to the system interface card is active and activated by externalcontrol.(14) XMT Audio IN HI/COMMON (Pins 3, 4)This pair provides a voice band input to the transmitter(s) as selected by the crew.Typical use is with external encryption equipment in which the mic input to the C-5000 isrouted out to the encryption unit and when the encryption unit is not active, the mic input(voice band) is returned to this port for normal voice transmit. Standard levels are 0.9Vrms into 600 Ω, although A2R160 and A2JP3 provide adjustment range ofapproximately 40 mV (150 Ω) to 5.4 V (600Ω).

C-5000 COMMUNICATION MANAGEMENT CONTROLLERINSTALLATION MANUALPage 4-6 Publication No. 150-041118Section 4 – Electrical Installation Rev ASep 2001(15) Aux Audio IN HI (Pin 27)This port provides an auxiliary input to the headset audio amplifiers (primary andsecondary). It is not switched and all inputs to this port will appear at the headset(s).Typical use is alert tones, progress tones, medical telemetry equipment like DopplerMonitors, etc. Typical input level of 0.5 Vrms (5k Ohm) will yield standard audio althoughA2R102 on the system interface board provides an adjustment range of 0.33 to 7.75Vrms.(16) Plain/Cipher Select (Pin 35)This output provides control signals to external equipment for activating encryptionequipment. For normal operation, this output is an open circuit. An active pull to ground isprovided for encryption active.(17) Cipher/Plain Select (Pin 12)This output is similar to Plain/Cipher, but is opposite polarity and provides a ground fornormal operation.(18) Receiving External Encrypted Text (Pin 38)This input, when grounded, indicates to the C-5000 computer that the external encryptionequipment at the system interface is receiving properly decoded and encrypted text.(19) Transmitting External Encrypted Text (Pin 19)When grounded, this input indicates to the C-5000 computer that the external encryptionequipment is active and is providing cipher text for wideband modulation to the crewselected transmitter.(20) PTT To Cipher (Pin 56)This pin provides a ground to repeat the mic input (primary only).(21) PTT From External Cipher (Pin 15)When grounded, this pin will cause the C-5000 to remain in transmit mode. Transmitterend of text messages can be transmitted after mic PTT has been released by utilizing thisinput as a stretched or delayed PTT input.(22) Zeroize (Pin 26)This pin provides an output from the C-5000 to external encryption (internal as well)equipment to erase key variables. This output is configured as standard to provide anopen circuit under normal operation and provide 27.5 Vdc to Zeroize key variables inencryption equipment. By changing A2JP8 on the system interface board from "l to 2" to"2 to 3", the output provides an active ground for Zeroizing (open circuit = normal).

C-5000 COMMUNICATION MANAGEMENT CONTROLLERINSTALLATION MANUALPublication No. 150-041118 Page 4-7Rev A Section 4 –Electrical InstallationSep 2001(23) Mic Out HI/LO (Pins 48, 49)This pair provides a buffered primary mic output. As standard configuration, the balancedmic output is a combination of Primary Mic Input, REXMT Audio In, XMT Audio In andInternal Cipher Voice XMT Audio. The level is set for 0.25 Vrms for standard modulation.When external (or internal) encryption equipment is connected to the system interfaceboard, A2JP2 on the system interface board is typically moved from "l to 2" to "2 to 3"and zero Ohm resistor A2R140 (system interface board) is removed. With A2JP2changed and A2R140 removed, the mic out is only the buffered primary mic input. Inaddition, the primary mic input is isolated from the rest of the C-5000 such that normalclear text voice modulation must be routed from mic out Hi/Lo. In this configuration, theexternal encryption equipment must be installed to complete the audio path from theprimary mic input to the selected transmitter(s). Jumpers from mic out Hi/Lo to XMTAudio In Hi/Lo may be used temporarily when the external encryption equipment isdisconnected. Audio levels are typically 0.9 Vrms (600 Ω) although A2R170 on thesystem interface board provides considerable adjustment range.(24) Guard Precedence In or System Precedence Channel Select (Pin 22)This pin, when grounded, disables nearly all of the C-5000 functions and channels thesystem to a pre-stored precedence channel. The volume control is functional. This modeis useful for an emergency mode in which all functions are disabled except basictalk/listen on the pre-stored system precedence channel. Normal operation is with this pinopen circuited.(25) Bandwidth Control In (Pin 23)This pin, when grounded, activates the wideband mode on new WED radio equipment.Normal mode is open circuit.(26) RT-X Select A & B (Pins 16,33)These pins, when grounded, provide and external selection (in binary format) of theselected radio system 1, 2 or 3 to be routed to the internal or external system interface forencryption or other functions connected to the system interface. Normal mode withC-5000 selection of the RT-X (1, 2 or 3) system is provided when these lines are opencircuit.BANORMAL OPEN OPENRT-X = SYSTEM 1 OPEN GNDRT-X = SYSTEM 2 GND OPENRT-X = SYSTEM 3 GND GND(27) RT-X Guard Audio Out (Pin 13)This pin provides the selected RT System Guard RCV Audio (voice band) signal for usewith external equipment. Typically the plain text guard audio is summed with decodedmain RCV audio and routed to the C-5000 for combined main (recovered cipher) andguard (clear) to the headset. Standard levels are 2 Vrms at low impedance, althoughA2R114 on the system interface board provides adjustment range of 0.5 to 4 Vrms.

C-5000 COMMUNICATION MANAGEMENT CONTROLLERINSTALLATION MANUALPage 4-8 Publication No. 150-041118Section 4 – Electrical Installation Rev ASep 2001(28) REXMT Audio In (Pin 7)This input provides an auxiliary voice band transmit audio input and is summed with theprimary mic audio. The receive audio from other equipment can be routed to this port andin conjunction with the "PTT from Ext. Cipher" (an auxiliary PTT input), a multi-systemrelay can be established. A level of 2 Vrms for standard modulation is standard, althoughA2R167 on the system interface board provides an adjustment range of 0.1 to 7.75 Vrms.(29) RT-X REXMT Audio Out (Pin 1)This pin provides a voice band receive audio output from the selected RT system (1, 2 or3). The audio is normal audio from the selected radio system and includes both main andguard audio as well as sidetone during XMT. In conjunction with REXMT control key out,(squelch activity from this system and PTT input to other aircraft equipment) this signalmay be used in a multi system relay to provide receive audio from this system to transmitaudio to other equipment on board the aircraft.Typical application with external encryption equipment connected to the system interfaceutilizes this signal as clear text receive audio to be routed to, and returned from, theexternal equipment in time of nonencrypted reception to the RT-X Decoded Audio Input.The signal level is 2 Vrms for standard voice, although A2R108 on the system boardprovides an adjustment range of 0.2 to 7.75 Vrms.(30) RT-X REXMT Control Key Out (Pin 34)This signal provides a ground output when the selected radio system (1, 2 or 3) mainreceiver is active (squelch activity). This signal provides a PTT input to other aircraftequipment in a multi-system relay mode.(31) RT-X WB MN RCV Audio Out (Pin 37)This signal is a wideband received audio signal from the selected RT system (1, 2 or 3)main receiver. It is not squelch gated and typically is used with external encryptionequipment connected to the system interface. The standard level is 6 Vpp althoughA2R135 provides an adjustment range of 1.2 to 12 Vpp. The Motorola encryptionequipment requires 4 Vpp.(32) EXT RT-X Decoded RCV Audio (Pin 42)This input is typically used with external encryption equipment connected to the systeminterface. The signal is the decoded or de-encrypted voice band clear text from theencryption system. By proper C-5000 system programming, this signal can be routeddirectly as the selected RT system (1, 2 or 3) recovered audio or it can be internallysummed with the selected RT system guard audio, sidetone, or both. In addition, therecovered audio can also be programmed to provide de-emphasis if required. A level of 2Vrms is standard, although A2R131 provides an adjustment range of 0.25 to 7.75 Vrms.

C-5000 COMMUNICATION MANAGEMENT CONTROLLERINSTALLATION MANUALPublication No. 150-041118 Page 4-9Rev A Section 4 –Electrical InstallationSep 2001(33) EXT RT-X WB XMT Audio (Pin 61)This input provides for wideband digital audio (encrypted or cipher text) modulation inputto the selected RT system (1, 2 or 3). Modulation level of 6Vpp is standard, althoughA2R141 on the system interface board provides and adjustment range of 1.2 to 12 Vpp.(34) AUX +15 Vdc (Pin 60)This output can be used to power external auxiliary equipment. Total load cannot exceed600 mA. In addition, the combined external load of + 15V, -15V and +5V outputs cannotexceed 11.5 Watts.(35) AUX -15 Vdc (Optional) (Pin 28)This optional output can be used to power external auxiliary equipment. A jumper mustbe installed on the system interface board to activate this output. Total load for this outputcannot exceed 100 mA. In addition, the combined external load of +15V, -15V and +5Voutputs cannot exceed 11.5 Watts.(36) AUX +5 VDC (Optional) (Pin 58)This optional output can be used to power external auxiliary equipment. A jumper mustbe installed on the system interface board to activate this output. Total load for this outputcannot exceed 200 mA. In addition, the combined external load of +15V, -15V and +5Voutputs cannot exceed 11.5 Watts.(37) AUX GND (Pin 62)This is a C-5000 power ground connection suitable for electrical reference ground toother auxiliary equipment.

C-5000 COMMUNICATION MANAGEMENT CONTROLLERINSTALLATION MANUALPublication No. 150-041118 Page 5-1Rev. A Section 5 – Configuration and ProgrammingSep 2001Section 5 – Configuration and ProgrammingIntroductionThe Wulfsberg C-5000 Communication Management Controller (CMC) is a microprocessor-based control headdevice that controls one or two Wulfsberg transceivers. The C-5000 supports the full line of WulfsbergFLITECOMM, FLEXCOMM I, and FLEXCOMM II transceivers. This manual is intended to quickly instruct theuser on the basic operations of the C-5000 and also outline the advanced operations that set the C-5000 apart fromany other communication device.FeaturesThe C-5000 provides a host of powerful features, including• Controls Wulfsberg RT-5000, RT-406F, RT-450, RT-138(F), RT-30, RT-9600(F) and RT-7200 transceivers.• 350 preset channels, programmable from the front panel or using Wulfsberg’s Remote Programmer software.• Users can dial in frequencies, PL tones, and transmit power on two “manual” channels.• Advanced multi-radio modes, such as Simulcast, Relay, Repeater, and Relay-Simulcast.• Control encryption functions embedded in the RT-5000 transceiver such as P25 Digital Modulation andencryption with Over the Air Rekey (OTAR) capability.Transceiver OverviewThe C-5000 provides support for the Wulfsberg FLITECOMM, FLEXCOMM I, and FLEXCOMM II transceivers.It is very important that users know how many radios and what type are connected to the C-5000 since transceivershave very different capabilities and features. Here is a summary of the supported transceivers and their capabilities.FLEXCOMM IIThis product line consists of the RT-5000 AM/FM transceivers covering the 29.7 to 960 MHz frequency range. Theoptional Guard Receiver can be specified as a single channel crystal guard (available in three frequency ranges), a29.7 – 960 MHz receiver capable of being programmed with two Guard channels, or a receiver with one or twomodules capable of RT-5000’s are equipped with CTCSS and DCS tones on both the Main and Guard Receivers.The MTM Guard variant of the RT-5000 adds support for P25 and Trunking channels, with encryption and over-the-air-rekey (OTAR) capability.FLEXCOM IThis product line currently consists of the RT-30, RT-138F, and RT-406F transceivers. The C-5000 also supportsthe RT-118, RT-138, and RT-450 transceivers, which are no longer manufactured but remain in wide use. The RT-30, RT-138F, and RT-406F FM transceivers cover the 29.7 to 49.99 MHz, 138.0 to 173.9975 MHz, and 406.0 to511.9975 MHz frequency ranges, respectively. These transceivers can be specified with a single-channel, crystal-controlled, Guard Receiver that operates on a customer-specified frequency. An optional Guard Receiver CTCSSdecoder with programmable Guard Receiver tone can also be specified.

Page 5-2 Publication No. 150-041118Section 5 – Configuration and Programming Rev. ASep 2001FLITECOMMThis product line is no longer manufactured, but remains in wide use. It consisted of the RT-7200, RT-9600, andRT-9600F transceivers. They were available with a two-channel, crystal-controlled, Guard Receiver that could beuser-specified for any Guard frequency between 138.000 and 173.9950 MHz (RT-7200) or between 150.000 and173.9975 MHz (RT-9600/9600F). They were equipped with CTCSS tones on both the Main and Guard Receivers.

C-5000 COMMUNICATION MANAGEMENT CONTROLLERINSTALLATION MANUALPublication No. 150-041118 Page 5-3Rev. A Section 5 – Configuration and ProgrammingSep 2001Steps to Successful Setup and OperationWhile we would like to pull products out of the box and immediately start to use them, this system is one that takesa little work to get to that point. The following checklist will help installers and initial users setup the C-5000 andRT-5000.1. Connect C-5000 to the transceivers. Note part numbers of the Control head and all transceivers.C-5000 Part Number = 31300-1X02- ____________Radio #1 Model # = ___________________ Part Number = ______________________Radio #2 Model # = ___________________ Part Number = ______________________2. Configure the C-5000 using the steps outlined in the manual. You must know the last four digits of the C-5000part number and the last four digits of any RT-5000’s or the model type of any Flexcomm/FlitecommTransceiver.3. If Radio #1 is an RT-5000 that has a MTM Guard Receiver (-06XX or greater) connect a PC to the 9-pinprogramming port of the RT-5000 and run the Motorola RSS software.4. Put the C-5000 in RSS mode for radio #1 and select the first ITM to appear.5. Using the RSS software, read the codeplug out of the ITM.6. Modify system settings for your application. Program personalities. Assign zone/Channels. These stepsrequire significant knowledge of the Motorola software. We encourage enlisting the help of someone familiarwith Motorola RSS software to successfully program the ITM.NOTE: ZONE 1 CHANNEL 1 MUST BE ASSIGNED TO A PERSONALITY THAT HAS DIFFERENTRECEIVE AND TRANSMIT FREQUENCIES!!!!!7. Save the modified codeplug to disk and load it into the ITM.8. Make a listing of all ZONE/CHANNELS Information needed by the C-5000 preset channel programming.Zone ______ Channel ______RX Frequency = ______________________ RX Tone = __________TX Frequency = ______________________ TX Tone = __________Modulation = ______________(FM,P25,TRK)9. Do the above for the second ITM if there is one in Radio #110. Do the above for Radio #2 only if its an RT-5000 with an MTM Guard (-06XX or greater)11. Using the front panel or better yet the Wulfsberg RP software, program all preset channels including the onesprogrammed into each ITM module in the steps above.12. Using a communication analyzer or over the air test, verify that each radio and channel operates properly.

The Remote Programmer software offers several advantages over using the C-5000’s front panel.• Allows you to specify a C-5000’s configuration in less time.• Enhanced error checking reduces the likelihood of specifying an incorrect configuration.• A configuration can be specified once and loaded to multiple C-5000’s, saving huge amounts of data entry time.• Configurations can be saved, archived, and backed-up, reducing the likelihood of lost data.• Configurations can be sucked out of C-5000’s as well, saving data entry time on existing configurations.Refer to the Remote Programmer software’s user manual for details on how to specify C-5000 configurations in RP.Downloading a Configuration from RP into the C-5000The C-5000 continuously polls the data port on the front panel for incoming data, so all the user has to do is initiatethe download from RP. Refer to RP’s user manual for details on how to initiate a download. Once thecommunication channel is open, the C-5000’s display will change to the following.

C-5000 COMMUNICATION MANAGEMENT CONTROLLERINSTALLATION MANUALPublication No. 150-041118 Page 5-43Rev. A Section 5 – Configuration and ProgrammingSep 2001RSS SOFTWARE DESCRIPTION AND PROGRAMMINGBefore You BeginTo program the ITM inside the RT-5000 the user must use a DOS based PC (the slower the better!) and Motorola’sRSS software. Users must obtain their own copies of the Software as Wulfsberg cannot supply it. Theprogramming of the ITM requires three basic steps. First, enter the information that has to do with the setup of theway the RT-5000 communicates with the ITM. Second enter channel information, or what Motorola call“Personalities”, and finally assign the personalities to Zone and Channels. Doing all of this in NOT for the faint ofheart. In fact, it is best to enlist the help of an experienced RSS programmer.There are almost uncountable numbers of “system” options in Motorola products that make programming thissystem very tedious at best. If your agency uses Motorola XTS-3000 model handhelds, the simplest way to getstarted is to use an archive from a known properly programmed XTS-3000. Then make the necessary changes andthen program ITM.Alternatively, the ITM comes from the factory with all the necessary information loaded in it for basic operation.The user only needs to load system information such as USER ID’s etc., personalities, and zone/channel allocation.Once an archive for an ITM is established, it can be cloned to other ITM’s in other RT-5000’sThe RSS software only allows the programmer to see and change functions that are available with the hardware it istrying to program. As such, not all of the screens listed will be seen for every model of ITM.The following are descriptions of what may be found on each page of the software. At any time, you may press F1to access the online help screen for the page that you are currently viewing. Notice that all screens follow the sameformat – the upper left box describes where you are in the software, the upper right box gives brief help and errormessages, while the lower box describes what each “F” key does on that page:KEYBOARD INFO – This is accessed by pressing F1 then F2 from any page. Notice that the UP/DOWN arrowsare used to change a value or selection while the TAB and SHIFT-TAB keys are used to navigate around a menu.Main Menu OperationsMAIN MENU – This is the first screen that is shown when the software is started. Make sure that you execute theASTROP version and NOT the ASTROM (which is for Mobile-Vehicle Radios). From this page, all other sectionsof the software may be accessed.F3 GET/SAVE/PROGRAM/CLONE – Gateway to the submenu for Archive loading from Disk or from radio,Archive Saving to disk or to a radio, and cloning from one radio into another.F4 CHANGE/VIEW – Gateway to the submenus for viewing or changing the makeup of the Archive that iscurrently loaded into active memory.F5 PRINT – Gateway to the submenu that controls the Print function for the Archive that is currently loaded intoactive memory. Since this is a DOS based program, printing is best accomplished using an older Dot Matrix printer.F6 FILE MAINTENANCE – Gateway to the submenu that allows BASIC Archive file maintenance on disk.(Remember, this is a DOS based program!)

Page 5-44 Publication No. 150-041118Section 5 – Configuration and Programming Rev. ASep 2001F9 SETUP – Gateway to submenu for setting up the program. Includes such items as file locations and colors of thescreen.Some areas that will NOT be used:F2 SERVICE – This is used by service personnel align the receiver and transmitter of the ITM.F8 FLASH UPGRADE – this is used by technicians to perform updates to the radio feature set.GET/SAVE/PROGRAM MENU – Displayed by pressing F3 at the MAIN MENU. The following actions areperformed here:F2 READ DATA – This is how you will draw the Archive information out of an existing ITM’s codeplug inside anRT-5000. There is NO need for the RIB (Radio Interface Box). The RIB technology has been designed into theRT-5000. All that is required is a DB9 female to DB9 Female Cable connected to the serial port of the PC and tothe Transceiver programming connector in the aircraft. To start the download, attach the cable, setup the C-5000for RSS programming (Described elsewhere), and press F2 on this menu. You will see a status bar as the softwarereads the data from the ITM Codeplug. REMEMBER, there is a separate codeplug inside each ITM inside each RT-5000! Once read, the data will reside in active memory and, if changed, must either be reloaded into the ITMcodeplug OR saved to an archive file on disk.F3 GET CODEPLUG DATA – This menu selection leads to the list of available Archive files on disk. It tries tolocate these files in the Directory (Old DOS term for FOLDER) where the RSS program was setup to locate theArchive files.F5 CLONE RADIO – This is the Gateway to the CLONE Radio feature that allows copying an Archive load that isresident in active memory into another ITM radio Codeplug.F7 SAVE CODEPLUG DATA – This leads to submenu that allows saving an Archive file to disk.F8 PROGRAM DATA – Like the F2 function, this is used to program an Archive from active memory into an ITMCodeplug. As with F2, the RIB is not required since the technology is built into the RT-5000 hardware. Simplyattach the DB-9 cable between the PC and the Aircraft Transceiver programming connector, setup the C-5000 forRSS programming (Described Elsewhere), and press the F8 button. A progress bar will appear indicating theprogress of the load.F9 RADIO PROGRAM HISTORY – Shows a submenu of the history of the current Archive that is resident inactive memory.ARCHIVE FILES – Displayed by pressing F3 !

F8 from the main menu.This menu is used to assign any of the possible 255 Personalities to a specific zone and channel. The radio modulehas the capability of 16 zones each containing 16 channels. While each personality MUST be assigned to at leastone zone/channel location, there is no requirement that all zone/channel locations be filled.NOTE: One VERY CRITICAL requirement for the proper integration of the ITM with the Wulfsbergsystem is that the personality assigned to Zone 1 Channel 1 MUST BE A REPEATER. Any repeaterpersonality will fulfill this requirement.“F” Keys are used to add additional zones (up to 16) and additional channels (up to 16) within each existing zone.Zones may be given an alpha-numeric name, though this is not required in the C-5000 integration. Additionally,each channel location within a zone may be given an alpha-numeric name. Although it has no functionality in theC-5000 integration, the channel locations within a zone should be labeled with the proper name of the frequenciesthat are loaded into the respective personality. This will aid greatly in viewing printouts of the codeplug data. If agiven zone has more than 8 channels assigned to it, use the page up or page down buttons to slew the display screento the opposing set of 8 channels within the zone. “F” Keys are also used to move between zones, although you mayalso place the cursor under the ZONE NUMBER entry and either use the up/down arrow keys or enter a specificzone number to view. All zone/channel entries will be CONV which stands for Conventional (as opposed toTrunking). The Personality Number is derived in the Conventional Personalities section of the RSS software (MainMenu – F4 ! F6 ! F3) A record must be kept during programming as to what frequency set (channel) is assignedto what zone/channel location.To add an additional zone, press F2 and then F3. This adds a new zone to the end of the existing zones. If it isdesired to insert a new zone between two existing zones, press F2 followed by F2. New zones may also be copiedfrom existing zones by entering the source zone number in the field that states DEFAULT DATA after pressing F2to add the zone. Zones may be deleted using the F5 key. As with zones, channels may be added to the end ofexisting channels, inserted between existing channels, and copied from existing channels.When adding new channels, first generate a new channel location using the F6 key. Then TAB to the CHANNELNAME and enter the proper name of the channel. Next, TAB twice to the PERSONALITY NUMBER field andenter the specific number of the personality where the channel frequency and related information have beenpreviously entered. Continue to enter new channels until all 16 channel locations in the current zone are full. As theactual display of the ITM is not used, personalities may be assigned to zones and channels sequentially beginningwith zone 1 - channel 1 on through zone 16 - channel 16.

The program will then use the selected color patterns until changed.

Page 5-58 Publication No. 150-041118Section 5 – Configuration and Programming Rev. ASep 2001GlossaryAM – Acronym for “Amplitude Modulation”. In this type of modulation, the amplitude of the signal is varied inproportion to the voice or data input signal. The signal quality can be severely degraded because of lightningor man made electrical noise. AM is only used in the frequency ranges 108 to 152 MHz and 225 to 400MHz. All air traffic control functions use AM modulation.Audio Phase – The RT-5000 can invert the phase of the audio signal during transmit or receive. This is sometimesnecessary for DPL systems to work.Bandwidth – A term used to describe the amount of frequency a channel has to transmit a signal. Two of the mostcommon FM channel bandwidths are 12.5 kHz (Narrow) and 25 kHz (Standard). Some special signals, suchas military encryption, work best when using 35 kHz (Wide) or 70 kHz (Extra-wide) channels. All of thesebandwidths are available in the RT-5000.Channel – A group of radio characteristics, such as receive & transmit frequencies, modulation, power levels, etc.CMC – An acronym for Communication Management Controller. The C-5000 is a CMC.CTCSS – Acronym for “Continuous Coded Squelch System”.DCS – Acronym for “Digital Coded Squelch”DES – Acronym for “Digital Encryption Standard”. This is an algorithm by which signals are encrypted.Deviation – The amount of peak change the RF signal varies from the carrier in proportion to the amplitude of thevoice signal.DPL – Acronym for “Digital Private Line”. Also known as DCS.DTMF – Dual Tone Multiple Frequency. On a telephone keypad, each row and column have unique audio tonesthat are sent when a button is pushed. At the receiver, a decoder listens for a row tone and a column tone andcan determine from that, which button has been pushed.Direct – Also known as simplex, car-to-car, and talk-around. This mode of operation allows you to bypass therepeater and talk directly to another radio. Transmit and receive frequencies are the same.Encryption – Method by which a signal is “scrambled” so that other listeners cannot understand what is beingtransmitted.Encryption Key – When encrypting a transmission, the algorithm used to scramble the information requires boththe transmitting and receiving devices to have a number. This number is called an Encryption Key. Somesystems are limited to one key and others are capable of having multiple keys.Flexcomm I – First generation of Flexcomm control heads and transceivers. This includes the C-1000 control headand RT-30, RT-138(F), RT-450, RT-406F transceivers.Flexcomm II – Second generation of Flexcomm control heads and transceivers. This includes the C-5000 controlhead and RT-5000 multi-band transceiver.FM – Acronym for “Frequency Modulation”. In this type of modulation, the frequency of the signal is varied fromits center point in proportion to the amplitude of the voice or data signal. Most importantly, this type ofmodulation is not affected by lightning or other atmospheric noise.

C-5000 COMMUNICATION MANAGEMENT CONTROLLERINSTALLATION MANUALPublication No. 150-041118 Page 5-59Rev. A Section 5 – Configuration and ProgrammingSep 2001Guard Receiver – Second receiver added to the transceiver to monitor a specific frequency. Some common“guard” frequencies are 121.5, 243, Marine channel 16, and Marine channel 70. However, this optionalfunction can also be used to monitor a dispatch channel, or an important tactical frequency. Some Guardreceivers have a single frequency that is set in hardware. Other options, available only in the RT-5000, are aprogrammable dual channel receiver and a multi-band P25/Trunking compatible unit.IF Injection – In a superhetrodyne receiver, high frequency signals are progressively lowered in frequency untilonly the audio is left. This is done by multiplying the RF Signal by a sinewave either above or below the RFcarrier. Mathematically this results in an “Intermediate Frequency” (IF) frequency that is the sum anddifference of the two signals. The RT-5000 has the capability of having either High (Above) or Low (Below)the signal frequency. What this means is if you have a signal interfering with the desired signal, sometimesthe interference can be eliminated by switching either the 2nd or 3rd injection setting.Interoperability – The ability for different radio systems to communicate with each other directly. For example,when one manufacturer’s radio products will communicate with another’s, they are said to be “Interoperable”.ITM – “Internal Transceiver Module”. This is the module that is physically placed in the Guard Receiver slot in theRT-5000. This is the part of the radio that can perform P25, encryption, and Motorola Trunking. Each ITM coversa specific frequency band – 138-174, 403-470, 450-520, and 800 MHz. Up to two ITM’s can be put into one RT-5000 however one must be below 400 MHz and one above 400 MHz.KEYMAT – Another name for encryption key.KVL – Acronym for Key Variable Loader. It is a Motorola product for loading encryption keys into an encryptioncapable radio.Main Receiver – Full function receiver located in every transceiver.Manual Channel – A special preset channel that allows the operator to manipulate channel information “on the fly”without going into programming mode. On the C-5000 this special channel is labeled “..M” and is located atchannel 0.MODE 1 – Operational mode of the C-5000/RT-5000 system where the operator does not know there is a main andguard located in the transceiver. This simplifies the user interface dramatically. However, only one receiver,the main or the ITM module in the Guard is in operation at one time so only one channel is monitored.MODE 2 – Operational mode of the C-5000/RT-5000 system where the main and guard receiver are bothmonitoring frequencies at the same time. The user interface is more complex in that the user must selectusing the silver “soft” buttons on the C-5000 which channel to display and transmit on.OTAR – Acronym for “Over The Air Re-key”. Method by which the Encryption Key is transmitted over the radiochannel, hence “over the air”.P25 – Digital Modulation Standard.Page – The contents of the display. Sometimes called a screen or view.PL – Acronym for “Private Line”. Also known as CTCSS or sub-audible tone.Preset Channel – A channel that has been programmed into the memory of a control head or transceiver.Private – Another name for encryption.

Page 5-60 Publication No. 150-041118Section 5 – Configuration and Programming Rev. ASep 2001Repeat – This mode of operation uses a ground or air based repeater to retransmit your signal to another radio.Transmit and receive frequencies are different.RP - Acronym for “Remote Programmer”. Wulfsberg’s software to program the C-5000 with channel informationvia a connector of the front of the C-5000 is called the RP Software. It is recommended that this method isused whenever possible to program the C-5000 memory. While front panel programming is available foremergencies, using the RP software is less prone to operator errors and automatically provides for memorybackup in case on control head failure.RSS – Acronym for “Radio Service Software”. A PC application used for configuring, uploading, and downloadinginformation into the RT-5000’s Internal Transceiver Modules.RT System – Another way of saying Receiver/Transmitter System. Most often, the term refers to a singletransceiver. However, because the Flexcomm I transceivers can be ganged together and controlled as oneradio, it can refer to more than one transceiver. The C-5000 can control up to two RT systems.RX – Abbreviation for “Receive”Shadow Key – Special encryption key used to encrypt the keys received during the OTAR process.Squelch level – Signal level at which the radio will detect a strong enough signal has been detected by the radio andaudio is allowed to go to the user.Transceiver – A radio containing both a transmitter and a receiver, co-located in one box.Trunking – A term used to describe a communication system that automatically assigns an available channel to theoperator. This type of system can improve channel use to the point that more conversations are going on thanchannels available. There are many different Trunking systems available. Most are proprietary to eachmanufacturer. In other words, system built by different radio manufacturers will NOT communicate witheach other. Only the P25 Trunking standard guarantees interoperability.TX – Abbreviation for “Transmit”.Volume – Loudness of a voice signal.

This mode of operation is more difficult to use than MODE 1.The Home PageThe only visible difference in the HOME PAGE from Mode 1 operation is in the Main/Guard status fields. Theillustration below depicts the HOME PAGE for a system comprised of two digital RT-5000 radios. Both radios areconfigured to operate in Mode 2. The Main transceiver is the active transceiver on radio 1. The digital transceiver(Guard) is the active transceiver on radio 2. The active transceiver is the one that will transmit when the push-to-talk switch is depressed.11 123→→→→LUKEAFB TWR122 φφφφ..1 TACTICAL-001Main/Guard Status Fields – These fields display symbols indicating the current status of all the availabletransceivers in the system.

If an MTM Guard receiver is active, theuser can only select preset channels programmed for an ITM, and the main transceiver will only allow you to selectchannels programmed for a main transceiver. A ramification of this is that you cannot select the manual channelwhile the Guard receiver is active.

C-5000 COMMUNICATION MANAGEMENT CONTROLLERINSTALLATION MANUALPublication No. 150-041118 Page 6-1Rev A Section 6 – System CheckoutSep 2001SECTION 6 -SYSTEM VERIFICATION PROCEDURE1. GeneralThe following procedure is written for the purpose of verifying the installation of the C-5000and associated radio systems. It assumes the user has basic knowledge of the operation ofthe C-5000 in order to perform this procedure. If need be, review the C-5000 operationsmanual before beginning the procedure. This procedure can be performed without the useof complex test equipment such as audio generators and communication analyzers butdoes require some kind of transceiver (another aircraft or a handheld) to generate anddecode signals.2. Verify that the Control Head DSUZ mounts are fastened.3. Verify that the Radio is FIRMLY attached to the mounting tray.4. Verify that all connectors are attached at the control head, the transceivers, and antennassystems.5. Apply power to the system. Push the “Power ON” button on the C-5000 if necessary. Thedisplay should light up with the normal startup message screen (copyright WulfsbergElectronics etc.). If no errors are found, the display will show the normal operational page.6. Verify that the C-5000 keypad brightness changes when changing the cockpit panel light.This will only change the keypad brightness, not the display. To verify that the displaybrightness can be adjusted, use the display brightness adjustment procedure listed in theoperations manual.7. Load or verify that the C-5000 configuration information has been loaded into the C-5000. This step must be performed or the system will not operate properly.Information such as what number and type of transceivers are installed must be enteredinto the C-5000 configuration. If the RP Software (a PC Based program) is available, use itto download a database of preset channels and system configuration into the C-5000.8. If an RT-5000 transceiver with an MTM Guard receiver( P/N 400-015525-0611 and higher)is in the system, load channel and frequency information into the transceiver using theMotorola RSS software.9. Press each button on the C-5000 and verify its function is performed. In addition, verify thatthe cursor/value knobs turn properly and the “ENTER” button functions.10. Select Transceiver #1 using the audio panel and the C-5000. Select a valid preset channelfor Transceiver #1 or use the manual channel to select valid receive/transmit frequencies.Make sure all necessary switches on the audio panel are enabled. Verify all volume pots onthe audio panel are at a normal level. Press the TEST button on the C-5000 keypad. Thesquelch indicator for Transceiver #1 should light and audio noise should be heard in theheadset. Adjust the inner (Small) left volume knob up or down to the desired volume level.11. Perform Step 6 for all Transceivers in the system. This will verify that all radios areconnected, powered up, and able to send audio to the control head.

C-5000 COMMUNICATION MANAGEMENT CONTROLLERINSTALLATION MANUALPage 6-2 Publication No. 150-041118Section 6 – System Checkout Rev ASep 200112. Using a signal generator or a known available channel, verify that all transceivers canreceive normal signals. Standard signals that may be used are air traffic control tower orATIS frequencies for AM channels (RT-5000 only) and NOAA weather channels for VHFFM frequencies. Verify the frequencies above13. Select Transceiver #1 using the audio panel and attempt to transmit to a known goodreceiver (Both the transmitter and the receiver must be using the same frequency). Pressthe aircraft PTT switch and verify that the C-5000 display shows a transmit condition andthat the receiver detects a valid voice signal.14. Repeat Step 9 for every transmitter in the system.Please note that when testing the RT-5000 Transceiver, verify that the radio has been putinto AM mode if attempting to communicate with a Air Traffic control tower or the ATISchannel. If the radio is accidentally left in FM mode, signal quality will be severely degradedin the both the transmit, and receive functions.15. If possible take a flight test and determine performance at various altitudes and distances.There is no possible way to predict actual performance since variables such as antennaplacement, coax quality, ground station quality are different for every installation. The keyissue is to determine if the system will function acceptably for the user’s application.16. Verify that the Transceivers in the system do not interfere with each other and othersystems on the aircraft such as AM COMS and GPS receivers. If interference exists, adjustantenna locations to maximize distance (horizontal and vertical) between antenna systems.
