March 2000
Part No. 001-3139-502
NOTE: 800 MHz systems - 1 kHz Low Speed Data and 
1.5 kHz for the DTMF tone.  900 MHz systems - 800 Hz 
Low Speed Data and 800 Hz for the DTMF tone.
9. On the RVM, if the composite deviation is not 
2.5 kHz (1.6 kHz for 900 MHz), adjust U44 (see 
Step 10) to attain 2.5 kHz (1.6 kHz for 900 MHz).  
Refer to NOTE 2 on Page 1-9.
10.On the MLM drawer connect a Transmitter Test 
Set to W6 of J701 and record this meter reading for 
Voice Level from Switch alignment.
(Voice Level is ____________)
PROCEDURE 2
Necessary equipment:
• Two personnel will generally be required to perform 
this setup.
• Multi-Net/LTR Signaling Encoder-Decoder 
(PN023-3039-360), i.e. MED box.
• RF Signal Source capable of simultaneous internal 
and external modulation. Internal modulation 
source frequency range of 10 Hz to 10 kHz.
• RF Signal Analyzer capable of measuring deviation 
of an RF signal.
1. Transmitter Site - Disconnect the transmit antenna 
from the repeater and connect to a Signal Analyzer 
(with the appropriate pads). Adjust the signal ana-
lyzer to the transmit frequency and setup for a devi-
ation measurement.
2. RDM Site - Connect the MED box to the Signal 
Source as described in the MED box operation and 
service manual. Set the MED box parameters to the 
desired system (choose a Group ID that is not cur-
rently active by other system users).
3. RDM Site - Connect the Signal Source to the Signal 
Analyzer (monitor function for a communications 
service monitor). Adjust the output level of the Sig-
nal Source to the required input level of the Signal 
Analyzer. Enable the internal modulation source 
and set the modulation frequency to 1 kHz at 
1.5 kHz deviation (800 Hz for 900 MHz) and verify 
with the Signal Analyzer that the deviation is 
correct.
4. RDM Site - Disable the internal modulation source 
without changing the deviation setting. Enable the 
external modulation port. Adjust the MED box to 
encode the Multi-Net data. Adjust the data out level 
of the MED box to achieve 1 kHz (800 Hz for 
900 MHz) of deviation as measured on the Signal 
Analyzer.
5. RDM Site - Enable the internal modulation source 
with a 1 kHz tone. The composite deviation will 
now measure 2.5 kHz (1.6 kHz for 900 MHz) on the 
Signal Analyzer.
NOTE: 800 MHz systems - 1 kHz Low Speed Data and 
1.5 kHz for the 1 kHz tone. 900 MHz systems - 800 Hz 
Low Speed Data and 800 Hz for the 1 kHz tone.
6. RDM Site - Adjust the Signal Source to 100 µV of 
RF level. Connect the Signal Source to the RDM 
"ANT1" antenna port (S1 should still be set to 
"ANT1").
7. RDM Site - A dispatch call should now be set up. If 
not, check the MED box to be sure that the Multi-
Net data is being encoded and the correct Multi-Net 
parameters are being sent.
8. Transmitter Site - Record the deviation of the 
transmitted signal (it should be 2.5 kHz for 800 
MHz systems and 1.6 kHz for 900 MHz systems).
9. RDM Site - Disable the 1 kHz tone on the internal 
modulation source of the Signal Source (the exter-
nal port must remain active). The dispatch call 
should still be complete.
10.Transmitter Site - At the transmit site record the 
deviation of the transmitted signal (it should be 
1 kHz of Low Speed Data for 800 MHz and 800 Hz 
of Low Speed Data for 900 MHz systems). If the 
deviation is not correct, adjust the level to the cor-
rect setting as described in the repeater service 
manual.
11. RDM Site - Enable the 1 kHz tone on the internal 
modulation source of the Signal Source (the exter-
nal port must remain active). The dispatch call 
should still be complete.
