2 The purpose of this handbook is to provide sufficient information to successfully install and operate
the radios. No topics covered in this book involve power being applied with any equipment covers
removed. A full technical description, to component level, of each radio is provided in an associated
technical handbook. Details of how to order copies of the technical handbooks are given in section 5.
3 This handbook is divided into six sections. The sections cover the following topics:
❏
Section 1. Provides an overview of the equipment, and details the various installation options.
❏
Section 2. Provides the technical specification of the equipment.
❏
Section 3. Provides installation and commissioning instructions for the equipment. It must be
noted that the installation involves the connection of lethal voltages to the equipment.
Installation must therefore be carried out only by suitably qualified personnel.
❏
Section 4. Describes the purpose of the equipment’s controls, connectors and indicators.
Also provided is an example setting-up procedure, operating instructions, and user
maintenance procedures.
❏
Section 5. Lists the spare parts applicable to the topics covered in this handbook (each
equipment’s full parts-listing is contained in the associated technical handbook).
❏
Section 6. PAE drawings applicable to this handbook. The drawings are referenced in the text
as Fig. 1, Fig. 2 etc. It should be noted that in-text illustrations are referenced by the section and
figure number; for example, Fig. 3-1.
EQUIPMENT OVERVIEW
4 Series 3000DV2 radios can operate in the VHF 100 to 163 MHz and/or UHF 225 to 339.975 MHz
frequency bands, with 25 kHz channel spacing. 8.33 kHz channel spacing is also available in the VHF
band between 118.000 MHz and 136.975 MHz. Standard operating modes are amplitude modulation
(AM) or frequency modulation (FM) with both clear voice and data (16 kBit cypher) modes selectable.
When 8.33 kHz channel spacing is used, the radio automatically defaults to AM, clear voice mode.
5 The radios are suitable for use in voice encryption systems and Link 11 applications. All UHF sets
can be equipped with an internal ECCM module to provide Have Quick II frequency hopping operation
(for Have Quick operating instructions refer to document PAE 31B33060SUP).
6 The equipment’s operating frequency is selected using the front panel’s numeric data keys. Up to
99 pre-set channels can be stored in the equipment’s memory. Each stored channel contains frequency
and operating mode information. Pre-set channels can be recalled for operational use, or recalled for
display without altering the operational frequency.
7 The transceiver and transmitter equipments produce a maximum output of 40 watts in AM mode
and 60 watts in FM mode. The output power can be reduced by using a front panel control. If a PAE
3640 power amplifier is used in conjunction with a 3000DV2 transmitter or transceiver, the radio’s FM
output is automatically reduced to 40 watts to produce a 100 watt output from the power amplifier.
Power Supplies
8 The radios can be operated from standard ac input supplies, or from a low voltage dc supply (refer
to section 2, specification). Both ac and dc input supplies can be simultaneously connected to the
equipment.
