Chapter 1 - Introduction and Specifications Congratulations on your purchase of the CAT-1000B Repeater Controller. The CAT-1000B is packed with features normally reserved for controllers costing thousands of dollars more. Built on the foundation of the very successful CAT-500, this controller incorporates the features suggested by customers like you. Programming the CAT-1000B is a snap. It is carefully structured with uniform programming commands throughout.
User Function Switches Eight user function switches are provided to control equipment at your repeater site. These switches can be controlled manually by DTMF commands, or by the scheduler during automatic operation. They can be made to turn OFF, ON or Momentarily change state, any time you choose. Digital Voice Recorder An optional DVR, controlled by the CAT-1000B can be added to your repeater. Control of the DVR is fully integrated into the CAT-1000B control and command structure.
Active Memory Save Configure the CAT-1000B to suite your special requirements. Active Memory Save permits you to store the current settings of the control channels, timers, codes and the first twelve voice messages. Memory space is provided for eight memory saves. These memory saves can be later recalled with a simple DTMF command.

Chapter 2 - System Configuration Repeater With Fixed Frequency Transceiver In this configuration the CAT-1000B supports a repeater with a CTCSS decoder and a transceiver on a fixed frequency, second repeater or control receiver. Also shown is the DVR-1000 Digital Voice Recorder with eight expanded user function switches. Modular jack J3 connects to the telephone line. A positive voltage applied to the phone Busy #1 input will disable autopatch activity, when a shared telephone line is off hook.
Remote Base Transceiver Mode In the remote base mode, the CAT-1000B is optimized to operate a transceiver as a remote base controlled through the repeater input. If full control of the repeater is desired through the remote base receiver, the control bridge must be turned on from the repeater side. Use the same control bridge command described in the link transceiver mode section.
The Doug Hall RBI-1 Remote Base Interface supports the Kenwood transceivers listed in Figure 2-3. Not all transceivers are capable of remote control of CTCSS encoder frequency and transmitter power settings. Consult the Kenwood manual.
Switch 8 This switch is used to program a new unlock number. Set switch 8 to ON. The voice will say: "ENTER CONTROL." After the seven-digit unlock number is entered, set switch 8 to OFF. This switch is also used to activate the CAT-1000B computer interface. This permits programming of the CAT-1000B through the RS-232 serial port. Set dipswitch 8 to ON and apply power to the CAT-1000B. After the power up message is complete, the CAT1000B will automatically switch to the computer terminal programming mode.
Chapter 3 - Repeater Control The CAT-1000B has a maximum capacity of 64 remote control channels. These channels are segregated into eight zones according to their function. In addition to being controlled by the scheduler, these channels can be manually controlled by DTMF commands on the repeater, transceiver or telephone inputs. Interrogation of Repeater Control Status by Radio Key-up and send the control operator prefix number followed by the zone number and a zero.

Link Bridging Command When the link is in the backbone mode, the CAT-1000B will only respond to DTMF command from the backbone to turn the link on and off. This greatly reduces the possibility of the CAT-1000B responding to a command meant for another repeater on the backbone. However, there may be times when it is desirable to control the CAT-1000B through the link input. This can be accomplished by using the link bridging command. Example: With a bridge command number of 150, turn ON the bridge.
Chapter 5 - Repeater Programming By DTMF Tone This chapter describes how the CAT-1000B controller is programmed by the repeater owner using a DTMF keypad. The various types of program commands are described in detail and examples are given in the following text. Initialization To initialize the CAT-1000B, set dipswitch #7 to ON and cycle DC power. During powerup, the voice will say: "RESET DATA LOAD COMPLETED." Set dipswitch #7 to OFF.
Internal Command Structure The Internal Command Structure is a series of commands used to program the scheduler, eight hardware input switch buffers and the macro strings. Each command is limited to four digits. Even number pointer commands will interrupt a QSO, while odd number pointers commands will not execute if PTT is active. The following CAT-1000B operations are controlled by the Internal Command Structure.

Chapter 7 - Interfacing to Other Equipment Interfacing the CAT-1000B to your repeater system is a simple matter. A minimum of two inputs and two outputs are required for the CAT-1000B to control a repeater. They are: 1. 2. 3. 4. A COR signal to indicate when a signal is being received. A receive audio signal containing DTMF tones too processed for control. A Push-To-Talk signal to tell the repeater transmitter to turn ON.
Connector Kit Included with the controller is a connector kit containing two 25 pin “D” connectors to mate with J1 and J4, a 2.5mm power plug to mate with J2 (center pin is [+]), and two 2200 ohm resistors. If the COR inputs are active low, install the 2200 ohm resistors as pull-ups on the board at the R74 and R75 positions. If the receiver’s COR circuit in not capable of pulling down the 2200 ohm resistor increase the resistor value to 10K ohms.

Front Panel Display Interface (J11) This interface is used to connect a front panel LED to the CAT-1000B. The LED will be on whenever 12VDC is applied. Current limiting is provided by R62 on the CAT-1000B board. Additional inputs include PTT #1, PTT #2, Off Hook and DTMF Strobe #1 and #2. The DTMF strobe outputs must be buffered with an external NPN transistor to prevent loading. J11-1. +12VDC J11-6. PTT #1 J11-2. GROUND J11-7. OFF HOOK J11-3. DTMF STROBE #1 J11-8. PTT #2 J11-4.
CTCSS Decoder Connect the TS-64 CTCSS Encoder/Decoder assembly to the CAT-1000B as described in Figure 7-3. The decoder must be connected to discriminator audio. Speaker or volume control audio will have insufficient low frequency CTCSS tone content.
Positive Current Transmitter PTT The CAT-1000B keys the transmitter by grounding the PTT line. Some transmitters require a DC current usually from a 12volt DC supply to key. In these cases a switching device must be installed between the transmitter and the CAT-1000B Push-to Talk output at J4-10. Figure 7-4 describes two possible circuits that will supply the transmitter. Use caution when connecting this circuit. Do not apply +12VDC directly to J4-10. This will result in damage to U7. +12VDC 2.
Chapter 8 - Remote Base Interface Remote Base Transceiver With RBI-1 Interface In this mode the CAT-1000B supports the Doug Hall RBI-1 Interface. The RBI-1 receives serial data and clock information from the CAT-1000B and converts it to the format required to control the Kenwood transceivers. All connections to the transceivers are made through the mic jack. In addition to band, frequency, offset and transmitter power, CTCSS tones can be selected remotely.
During a frequency load, the CAT-1000B will automatically send the commands to turn on DC power, set transmitter power to low and disable the CTCSS encoder and decoder. If a frequency load includes a change in band, the CAT-1000B will send the DC power off command before loading the frequency and turning on the new band unit.

CAT-1000B - RBI-1 Interface Fabricate a cable between J4 on the CAT-1000B and J2 on the RBI-1 Remote Base Interface. Follow the wiring described in Figure 8-1. Provide +12VDC and GROUND to the PHONO jack on the rear of the RBI-1 interface. Connect the Kenwood interface cables between the RBI-1 and the various MIC connectors on the Kenwood transceivers. Consult the RBI-1 Manual to determine if all the control features are available on a particular transceiver.
Chapter 9 - RLS-1000B Remote Link Switch The RLS-1000B provides a method to connect up to three transceivers to the remote base port of the CAT-1000B repeater controller. Transceiver selection is accomplished by grounding three control lines. Since the receiver audio and COR inputs are mixed, all three transceivers can be selected at the same time. To select a transceiver, connect the CAT-1000B user function switch outputs to the control line inputs on the RLS1000B.
Dip Switch Selection Switch #1 - Port #1 COR Polarity This switch determines COR input logic for the RLS-1000B port #1 input. Switch #1 should be ON if the COR input is active low and OFF if the COR input is active high. For an active low COR input a pull-up resistor may be required. Install a 2200 ohm .25W resistor on the RLS-1000B board at the R33 position. Switch #2 - Port #2 COR Polarity This switch determines COR input logic for the RLS-1000B port #2 input.
CAT-1000B - RLS-1000B Interconnect Figure 9-1 describes how to connect three remote base transceivers to the link port of the CAT-1000B controller. Control of the remote base is through user function switches one, two and three.
Chapter 10 - DL-1000C Audio Delay Board When placed in the receive audio path, the will eliminate the first chirp of DTMF tone during DTMF muting, and it will eliminate the squelch crash noise present on many repeater systems. A dipswitch selects delays of 50, 100, 200 or 400 milliseconds. The delayed audio is faithfully reproduced. Installation is easy. Remove the jumper plug from the CAT-1000B at J8. Replace the jumper with the cable from the DL-1000C.
The DL-1000C is inserted in the receive audio path before the controller's audio switch. This audio switch is controlled by the COR logic signal. Loss of COR will cause the audio switch to open, preventing the receive audio from reaching the transmitter. The DL-1000C provides time for the switch to open before the squelch crash noise reaches the switch's input.
Chapter 11 - Digital Voice Recorder The DR-1000 provides true voice message announcements on your repeater system. Substitute DVR tracks for voice messages, speed dial identifications and courtesy tones. With four minutes of total record time, sixteen audio tracks provide sufficient message capacity. Eight expanded user function switches are also included. Connect the cable to the CAT-1000B at J6. Apply power to the controller.
Track length The DR-1000 consists of sixteen tracks of fixed lengths.
Chapter 12 - WS-1000 Weather Station Interface Provide timely weather announcements on your repeater system. Connect a Peet Brothers Ultimeter ® U-100, U-800 or U-2000 Weather Station or a Davis Weather Wizard III to the serial port of your CAT-1000B and install the WS-1000 firmware. Integrate temperature, wind speed, direction, high and low temperature and rain fall rate into any of the CAT-1000B voice messages.

Install the 9-volt battery. If you use the rain gage it will be necessary to set the weather station's clock so the rainfall will clear at midnight.
RS-232 Computer Interface The WS-1000 firmware will support the computer interface to upload and download the eight memory blocks. If you intend to use the computer interface, jumper J7 must be changed. TTL for the Peet Brothers Weather Station and RS232 for the computer interface. Solder a single pole double throw toggle switch to the three-conductor cable provided in the WS-1000 kit. Connect the header plug to J7 and mount the switch in a convenient location.
Program Voice Message With Wind Speed And Direction Variables To program a voice message with the wind speed Example: Load message 31 with the actual wind Say: "THE WIND IS OUT OF THE EAST AT 10 MILES miles per hour, the voice will say: "THE WIND IS and direction load the number [106]. speed and direction. The Voice will PER HOUR]." If the wind speed is 0 CALM".
