2 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The ATR833-II BOX is an ATR833-II VHF transceiver without integrated
control head. The equipment characteristics are identical with the
ATR833-II transceiver.
The integrated control head is substituted by a cover with a D-SUB DE9
pin female socket and contains the serial interface and the power supply
for a remote control unit.
3 OPERATION
3.1 Operation with one Remote Unit
If the unit shall be operated with one control head only, it is mandatory
that this control unit is connected to the front socket. The operation of a
single unit connected to the rear remote interface will not work. The unit
will not switch on.
Information
A single Remote Control Unit shall be always connected to the front
socket.
The ATR833-II BOX can be operated either with the LCD or the OLED
variant of the Remote Control Unit.
3.2 Operation with two Remote Units
With a remote interface connected to the front socket, a second Remote
Control Unit can be connected to the rear interface. The type of display,
LCD or OLED, does not matter.
3.3 Description of Operation

4 CONFIGURATION
The configuration of the ATR833-II BOX is identical to the ATR833-II
transceiver. See §3 of the Operation and Installation Manual.
All setting commands and acknowledgements are performed via the
remote control interface. The protocol scheme is described in the
following chapter.
4.1 Remote Interface
The remote control interface is a serial RX-TX interface with RS232
voltage levels with 9600 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, no
handshake.
Each message begins with 2 byte sequences 0x02 (STX) and 0x72 ('r')
for synchronization followed by a message identification-byte and a
different number of data bytes.

checksum
XOR of bytes #2 … #3+n
i.e. excluding the STX and the checksum itself
Byte stuffing
If the STX byte (0x02) appears in the data byte of a message, this byte is
doubled to distinguish it from STX. The checksum then contains both
0x02 values.
The standby frequency is set with the ID 0x12 and contains two data
bytes:

The complete description of the ATR833S/-II Remote Protocol is
available on request.
5 INSTALLATION
5.1 Advice and Tips
Following recommendations shall be considered before installation:
- Select a position away from heat sources. Care for adequate
convection cooling.
- Leave sufficient space for the installation of cables and connectors.
- Avoid sharp bends and wiring close to control cables.
- Leave sufficient lead length for inspection or repair of the wiring of the
connector.
- Bend the harness at the rear connectors to inhibit water droplets
(formed due to condensation) from collecting in the connector.
- The ATR833-II Box is fixed front-laterally in the mounting tray with four
4x8mm screws.
Warning
No screws may be turned in more than max. 15mm into the device –
even if no hard limit is noticeable!
