ANTENNA HEIGHT
The height in which the antenna is installed.
APM
Audio and PTT Modem. The APM is designed for use in applications, which requires long distance control of
radios through a 4 or 2 wire leased lines. The modems use in-band signalling for transfer of PTT and Squelch,
and FSK data for transfer of alarms and Main/Standby selection.
ARC
With Audio Remote Control it is possible to extend the audio and PTT signals for a transmitter/receiver
combination consisting of one main and one standby transceiver.
One or two line pair is used for each transceiver and contains both PTT and audio in both directions.
AUX
Auxiliary
BAUD
Transmission rate unit of measurement for binary coded data (bit per second).
BIT
Short form of Binary Digit. The smallest element of data in a binary-coded value.
BITE
Built In Test Equipment
Bps
Bits Per Second.
CHARACTER STRING
Continuous characters (other than spaces) in a message.
CHECKSUM
The value sent with a binary-coded message to be checked at the receiving end to verify the integrity of the
message.
CLOCK
A precisely spaced, stable train of pulses generated within an electronic system to synchronize the timing of
digital operations within the system.
DRC
Data Remote Control. With the DRC unit functions like frequency settings, BITE etc. are extended to a remote
panel. The DRC unit requires 1 separate line pair that is connected to the serial interface of the radio. Several
DRC units may share the same line. All functions in the transmitter can be controlled from the DRC.

FSK
Frequency Shift Keying
GMSK
Gaussian-Minimum-Shift-Keying -GFSK using BT -products and modulation index, which optimizes the
modulated signal.
IEC
International Electro-technical Commission.
INTERFACE
Electronic circuits that permit the passage of data between different types of devices.
ITU
International Telecommunication Union.
I.ED
Light Emitting Diode.
ORC
Operators Remote Control. With the ORC it is possible to select frequencies, which are stored in the channel
memory of the radio. To ease the operation, channel names can be used for each frequency. The ORC requires a
separate line pair that is connected to the serial interface of the radio. Several ORC units may share the same
line.
RCU
With the Remote Control Unit, several radios (up to 64) can be combined on one site and interfaced to a personal
computer, using a special program (RACS).
RESET
To return stored values to either the default value or zero in memory.
S/N
See SIGNAL- TO-NOISE RATIO
SOFTWARE
Values programmed and preloaded into memory. The values represent a permanent set of instructions for
running the automatic functions (computations) of the unit.
UHF
Ultra High Frequency; A set of frequencies in the upper MHz region.
VHF
Very High Frequency; A set of frequencies in the lower MHz region.

1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
1.1 Subsystems
This manual covers all models of the receiver, transmitter and transceiver. The description of
each unit is only applicable to the relevant radio model.
Where the wording “transceiver” is used, the receiver part of the transceiver is applicable to
the receiver model and the transmitter part is applicable to the transmitter model.
1.2 Applications

This is the main input, which is used when the transmitter is controlled
from a remote position.
The input is fed with the TX audio in transmit mode.
Input level is from -30 to + 10 dBm (typical 0 or -10 dBm), and is
adjustable from the menu. See chapter 5.7.1.1.

4 INSTALLATION
4.1 Introduction.
The transceiver TR-4315 consists of one digital receiver unit, one digital exciter unit, one PA
unit and one interface/PSU unit. The width of each unit is 14TE. Additionally a Radio
Controller might be installed in the same sub frame at a width of 28 TE. This gives a full sub
rack of 84 TE.
The TR-4315 is designed to operate from both AC and DC supply. Normally AC is the main
supply and DC is the backup supply.
The TR-4315 will automatically switch to the DC backup supply in case the mains supply
fails.
The built in switch mode power supply will automatically select the proper operating voltage
when operated on AC power; this means that any AC voltage in the ranges 100-130 or 200 to
260 VAC may be used.
Connection to the power supplies should be made with good quality, shielded, power cords.
81934_TM_TR4315_M 4-1
4.3 Remote Line Interface
When operated from a remote site, the audio input can be input to up to three independent
audio lines input. The preferred input is line 1 which is a 600 ohm balanced input. Line 3 is
also 600 ohm unbalanced inputs, designed for a shorter range.
The inputs are equipped with internal line transient suppressers, however, for long lines in
noisy environment it might be necessary to terminate the lines in external suppressers or fuses.
The antenna should be of good quality with regards to gain and VSWR to obtain maximum
performance. Make sure that the cable from the transmitter to the antenna is of good quality to
avoid mismatch problems. In areas were thunderstorms and lightning is a problem, surge
arrestors should be mounted between the antenna and the radio.
The antenna output of the transmitter is the N-type antenna connector on the back of the PA
unit. The antenna input of the receiver is the N-type antenna connector on the back of the
Digital receiver unit.
81934_TM_TR4315_M 4-2
5 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
The Radio Controller with built in touch screen, or an external computer connected by
Ethernet can operate TR-4315. Several computers can operate the TR-4315 simultaneously.
The windows interface will be similar, and the functionality and the priority for the internal
and external computers are equal.
The interface is based on “click and drag” functionality.
5.2.1 Introduction
All settings of the transceiver are controlled over the Ethernet connection.
The remote 600 ohms lines together with the key input may be used to transmit the audio
from a remote location.

6.3.2.6 Voltage Converter Module, X-99479
The purpose of the Voltage Converter Module is to generate the necessary internal voltages
from the +28V input.
This is done with switch mode converters. The voltages generated are +12V, +5V and -5V.
The module consists of three switch mode regulators, three filters to prevent AC components
to cause problems for the other modules. There is also an over voltage circuit for every supply
voltage. All modules are synchronized to avoid beat frequencies between the different switch
mode circuits.
For the manual and automatic BITE the following signals are monitored on this module:
