The Major 4a/5a is the newer design of the well-known Major 4/5 An alphanumeric LC Display with

background lighting has replaced the LED Display. A gooseneck microphone with a high dynamic

range is part of the standard equipment of Major 5a as well as Major 4a. By using a plain text based

menu structure the programmable features have been extended significantly and at the same time

programming has become more straightforward. All buttons are freely programmable. Hence, each

of the buttons can be assigned two different functions.

A radio set can be connected directly (multiwire) or via 2- or 4-wire line. All viable tone sequences

can be transmitted and interpreted.

With the optional TIM (telephone interface module) a dial-up connection to the telephone network

can be established. It can be used to forward a radio to the telephone network and also for remote

control of radio sets via analogous land-line. To gain access to the radio a dial-up connection is es-

tablished. Major 4a/5a (if a TIM is included) can be ordered with a software option that enables the

substitution of a permanent line by using a dial-up connection.

There are two sockets for headsets. One can be used for a remote PTT foot switch. The 7 digital

outputs can be used for remote channel select or for other functions. For operation an external 12-

volt power supply is necessary.

The Major 4a/5a can be programmed via the serial interface or keypad. It is also possible to connect

a printer or a terminal to the serial interface. For printers with a parallel interface an additional

interface is available.

LC Display

All alphanumeric readouts are presented by a LC display with background lighting.

Status LEDs

Carrier Display (Squelch)

The carrier display LED can be controlled by voice (2-wire connection) or via squelch input

(using the radio set). If the light is on, the radio circuit is occupied, that is, a carrier signal

(carrier is keyed) is present.

PTT Display (Push-to-Talk)

The PTT display LED is on, if the transmitter is keyed. Keying of the transmitter is achieved

by pressing the PTT button during telephony or by sending a call.

Loudspeaker Display (Incoming Call)

The loudspeaker display LED is on, if the loudspeaker or the earphone capsule in the

handpiece are switched on.

Talking to the Radio

There are two different ways to talk to the radio.

By pushing the red PTT button the transmitter is switched on and the transmission LED is

lit. This can also be achieved by an external PTT (see Connections). Now, talking to the radio is

possible via the gooseneck microphone. After releasing the PTT button, the person on the radio

can be heard in the loudspeaker. The loudspeaker LED is lit. If the conversation is finished, the

loudspeaker can be switched off using the loudspeaker button

The transmitter (and the transmission LED) can also be switched on by pushing the PTT button at

the inside of the handpiece. Accordingly, the microphone and the loudspeaker of the handset are

used for conversation in this case. The conversation is terminated by simply hanging up the hand-

piece.

The loudspeaker is switched on after sending a call by pushing the red or the external PTT button

or upon reception of a call. However, it can also be activated manually via the loudspeaker button.

The loudspeaker is switched off manually (loudspeaker button) or automatically after a certain time

is elapsed. This loudspeaker timer is started when the loudspeaker is turned on and is reset as

long as a carrier is present or PTT is keyed.

If desired, this timer can also be disabled. Furthermore, the loudspeaker can be configured for

open-mode („always-on“, see Table of Registers, Register 050).

In order to set the desired volume the volume button is pushed (Major 5a) or the loudspeaker

button is pressed long (Major 4a). The display now shows „volume:“ and the present value (0-9).

Now the new volume can be set via the keypad. The chosen value is saved permanently (also

after power-off).

The Major can remember up to 10 short calls. These are transmitted by pushing the short call but-

ton followed by the respective number (0-9).

These short calls are programmed in the registers 000 to 009 (see Table of Registers, Registers

000-009)

With the standard settings, „select number:“ followed by the previously transmitted call is displayed

in the LCD. Of course, after power-on no number is displayed.

In order to send a call the variable digits of the tone sequence (see Table of Registers, register

010) first have to be entered. The tones entered via the keyboard are displayed right-justified in the

LCD. The transmission of the call is achieved by pushing the call button . Alternatively, calls

can be sent automatically after the last free number is entered (see Table of Registers, register

082).

In the following a programming example of the Major‘s registers is shown. The procedure is always

the same. Depending on the desired effects, however, the programming of several registers can be

necessary.

This example illustrates the programming of short call 1 in register 001 with the tone sequence

12345.

Please press the following buttons:

Switch to programming mode

with * and #

and

input tone sequence: 12345

The line „Code“ shows the present programming of the register. The displayed value can be overwritten

with the new value.

With button F3 the menu can be quit any time discarding the changes.

With button F4 the displayed value is programmed.

As every button of the Major 4a/5a is freely programmable, the registers 174 and 175 for the Z-button

have to be programmed with the right values. As this already is the case in the factroy defaults, this

step is not necessary.

Hence, register 174 (function Z-button, short press) usually is programmed with 22F01 and register

175 (function Z-button, long press) with 00000. The first 0 in register 175 defines that no additional

function of the button is exercised upon long pressing.

Tone Call Encoder

For the transmission of 5-tone sequences it can be configured which tones are set by manual input

and which ones are preset (see Table of Registers, register 010).

Example: 5-tone sequence

5-tone sequence with the following properties are to be sent:

1st digit: tone 9

2nd digit: tone 8

3rd digit: manual input via keypad

4th digit: tone 7

5th digit: manual input via keypad

F allows for a manual input at the respective digit.

Digits 6 and 7 are not in use and, hence, are set to zero. Digit 8 defines the type of the tone se-

quence, the ID-code. Here, zero stands for a 5-tone sequence.

If all digits are coded with FFFFFFFF, the complete tone sequence has to be entered manually.

If all digits are coded with EEEEEEEE, the manual input of numbers to call is turned off.

Digits 1 and 2 define the length of the first tone to 70ms.

Digit 3 defines the length of all other tones to 70ms.

Digits 4 and 5 define the length of a break to 70ms (no effect in this case).

Digit 6 disables the automatic transmission of the call upon entering all required digits.

The Major can transmit tone sequences of variable length. Therefor, different procedures exist to

build the tone sequence.

3-7-tone sequences are defined completely in register 010.

Dazu wird die 8. Stelle des Registers auf 9 gesetzt.

Free digits (manual input) are coded with F, digits that are not in use are coded with 0.

The number of tones in the sequence is defined in register 081 (digit 6).

Example: 7-tone sequence 123xx89

7-tone sequence with two free digits (4 and 5).

Digits 1-7 represent the tone sequence. The digits coded with F are entered via the keypad before

transmission.

Digit 8 defines the type of the tone sequence (ID-code), here: 3-7-tone sequence.

Double sequences can be transmitted as 3-7-tone double sequences (see 3-7-tone sequence).

The number of tones is set in register 081 (digit 6).

The break or an alternative coupling tone between the two tone sequences is programmed with

the call button (register 172).

The call is programmed in register 010, the own ID-code in register 015.

The order of the sequences, call -> ID-code or ID-code -> call (ID mode), is defined in register 010

(digit 8). 1: call first, then ID-code 2: ID-code first, then call

Example: 5-tone double sequence with call and ID-code

A call is to be sent as a 5-tone double sequence, consisting of call and the own ID-code. The

5-tone sequence begins with 123, the last two digits can be entered via the keypad. The own ID-

code is 12311 (see Table of Registers, register 015).

F (digits 4 und 5) stands for manually programmable digits.

Digits 6 and 7 are not in use and, hence, set to 0.

Digit 8 defines the type of the tone sequence. 1 stands for a double sequence with call first and

then ID-code. The number of tones in every sequence is defined in register 081 (digit 6). The

break between both tone sequences is programmed with the call button (see Table of Registers,

Transmission of 6-, 7-, 8-Tone Sequences

This is another possibility to transmit tone sequences of varying length (see Table of Registers, re-

gister 010). The 6-,7-,8-tone sequences (register 010: digit 8 is coded with 3,4 or 5) are composed

by a 5-tone sequence from register 010 and the additionally necessary digits from register 015.

These additional digits correspond to the own ID-code. Hence, the tone sequence consists of the

call plus the own ID-code (from register 015).

The ID is always programmed in the digits 3, 4 and 5 of register 015.

For a 6-tone call it is digit 5,

for a 7-tone call digits 4 and 5

and for an 8-tone call digits 3 to 5 are used.

Example: 7-tone sequence 123xx89

In this example a 5-one sequence with a two-digit ID-code (two free digits at positions 4 and 5)

plus an own two-digit ID-code.

Digits 4 and 5 can be freely set by manual input..

Digits 6 and 7 are not in use and, hence coded as zero.

Digit 8 is programmed with 4 and specifies a 7-tone sequence.

The first 3 digits are usually programmed according to the invariable digits of the tone sequence,

however, they do not have any effect in this case.

sequences).

Decoder

Major 4a/5a contains 10 decoders that are freely programmable by 3 registers for each of the de-

coders (see Table of Registers, registers 020-049). If the Major is set to factory defaults, an alarm

tone signalizes a decoded call. Furthermore, the loudspeaker is activate, its LED flashes, the alarm

output (switching output 7) is switched and the standard acknowledgement is sent (only decoder 0,

all the others are not active).

The corresponding registers:

switching outputs, loudspeaker, display, emergency call flag

Every single decoder can be configured independently. Starting with decoder 1, the received tone

sequence is compared to the stored tone sequence. If the sequence is recognized positively by the

decoder, no further decoding of the other decoders is performed. If the tone sequence is not recog-

nized by decoder 1 it is compared to the sequence stored in decoder 2. This routine is repeated for

all decoders until decoding is successful or until comparison to the last decoder is performed.

The alarm tone can be programmed separately for each decoder (see Table of Registers, registers

030-039). The alarm tone is an alternating sequence of two tones with different frequencies. Upon

calling the alarm tone can be set to a defined volume for a certain time. This can be an explicit

value between 0 and 9 or a volume increase of 0 to 5 steps (programmed as A to F). The duration

of the volume increase can be set from 0 to 3 s in 200 ms steps.

1st digit: alarm tone

1 = 600/675Hz 6 = 1100/1375Hz

2 = 800/900Hz 7 = 500/750Hz

3 = 1000/1125Hz 8 = 1000/1500Hz

4 = 700/875Hz 9 = 700/1283Hz

5 = 900/1125Hz 0 = no alarm tone

B = 600/675Hz, 10 repetitions

C = 800/900Hz, 10 repetitions

D = 1000/1125Hz, 10 repetitions

E = 700/875Hz, 10 repetitions

F = 900/1125Hz, 10 repetitions

2nd digit: duration 0 to F: n* 200ms, corresponding to 0 to 3s

3rd digit: call volume 0 to 9: constant volume, A to F: volume increased by 0 to 5 steps

Example 1: decode 5-tone sequence 9867x

The first decoder is to decode the tone sequence 9867x, i.e., for the 5th digit arbitrary tones should

be accepted. The first decoder is programmed in registers 020, 030 and 040.

1st - 4th digit are the 4 invariable digits of the tone sequence (9867)

5th digit is arbitrary and hence coded with an F.

6th and 7th digit are not in use. thus, they are both coded with F.

8th digit is set to 1 and activates the decoder.

1st digit: alarm tone type, e.g. 1

2nd digit: alarm tone duration in steps of n*200ms between 0 and 3s, e.g. A = 10 => 2s

3rd digit: alarm tone volume (constant volume: 0 - 9, A - F: increased by 0 to 5 steps,

e.g. C => 2 steps louder

4th digit: duration of call volume

5th digit: call volume

1st digit is 0 (ID-Mode) for a 5-tone sequence with ID decoding, else 7

2nd digit: defines the correspondng switching contact, e.g. 7 => output 7 (0: no output)

3rd digit: switching time (n * 1s)

4th digit: acknowledgement, e.g. 4 as an acknowledgement for a received ID-code

5th digit: switch loudspeaker/LED, e.g. 1 for loudspeaker on, LED does not flash

6th digit: without effect for 5-tone sequences

1st - 4th digit: invariable digits of the tone sequence

5th digit takes an arbitrary value (coded with F) and hence causes the 1-digit ID-code

to be displayed

6th - 8th digit are not in use (coded with F)

Example 2: decode 3-7-tone sequence with ID-code

Decoder 2 (registers 21, 31, 41) is to decode the 7-tone sequence 1234589 (ID mode 9). The tone

sequence is specified completely in register 021.

1st - 6th digit: invariable digits of the tone sequence

7th digit: arbitrary (F), hence 1-digit ID-code is displayed

8th digit not in use (F)

Example 3: decode double sequence

In this example a 5-tone double sequence is to be decoded that consists of call and a following ID

code. Decoding is performed in decoder 3 (registers 022, 032, 042).

The invariable digits of the 5-tone sequence for the ID code usually is identical to the own ID code

(as in register 015). The length of the tone sequence is stored in register 081, digit 6.

digits are not in use: FFF

Example 4: decode 6-, 7-, 8-tone sequence

The example shows a 7-tone sequence that is to be decoded by decoder 4 (registers 023, 033,

043). The first 5 tones of the sequence to decode are defined in register 023. Depending on the

chosen tone sequence (6-,7-, or 8-tone) the remaining tones are decoded as the ID code of the

caller. The length of the tone sequence is defined in register 043 (ID mode).

For further digits see example 1.

The key tones for ID decoding and ID code memory are programmed in register 016 for all

decoders.

The first 7 digits of register 016 contains the tone sequence that has to be decoded for the ID code

memory. Arbitrary digits are coded with F, as well as the digits that are not in use.

In register 086 the ID code memory is configured.

The first digit activates/deactivates the update function. If update is activated and an ID code from

the memory is decoded the old ID is deleted and the new one is stored in the respective position.

The second digit activates/deactivates the FIFO mode (first in - first out). In FIFO mode the ID code

that arrived first (i.e. the oldest one) is displayed.

In the third digit it can be defined if an arriving ID code is displayed immediately or if it is to appear

only after skimming to its position.

Storing of ID codes from double sequences is done according to the decoder programming. The ID

mode defines in which of 2 tone sequences the ID code is transmitted. It is then passed to the ID

code memory.

Example: 6-tone sequence 123x5x with 2-digit ID code in digits 4 and 6:

1st - 3rd and 5th digit are invariable digits of the tone sequence

4th and 6th digit can have arbitrary values and are coded with F

7th and 8th digit are not in use and thus also coded with F

1st digit activates update mode

2nd digit deactivates FIFO mode

3rd digit = 1 defines that new ID codes are displayed immediatelay

Muting (register 018) is triggered by the first two tones and lasts until the end of the tone sequence.

The first tone must be a valid tone in terms of duration. As soon as the second tone is recognized,

handpiece and loudspeaker are muted. For digits that are programmed with ‘F‘, all tones are valid.

To disable muting ‚EE‘ is programmed.

Major 4a can be used in mixed networks, where FFSK and common tone sequence signalling

(see Transmitting 5-Tone Sequences) are to be used simultaneously. Therefor, a FFSK-decoder/

encoder is active in addition to the tone-decoder/encoder.

Composition of a Telegram

The call telegram starts with an unmodulated carrier that has to be present at the receiver for

at least 25 ms. This is followed by a 16-bit digital sequence and the block synchronization. For

block synchronization a 15-bit barker word with a preceding 1 is used. The following selective call

consists of 8 digits:

1st digit: code of the mode of operation (CMO) (invariable)

2nd digit: status (invariable)

3rd digit: hash key identification (invariable)

4th+5th digit: producer identification (variable)

6th-8th digit: call (variable)

Code of the Mode of Operation (CMO)

The CMO distiguishes the different types of telegrams. The following types are supported by the

Major:

Nr. Meaning Major

0 available (free) (x)

1 Q call to car x

2 Q call to control center x

3 ID code x

4 acknowledgement x

5 additional telegram

6 Q cutting call

7 reserve

8 Q priority call

9 Q status request

A reserve

B reserve

C reserve

D available (free)

E available (free)

F emergency call x

CMOs marked with a Q require an acknowledgement. The CMO is programmed together with the

PTT button at digit 5 (usually with ‘1’ => call to car, standard: call button, short press; see Table of

Registers, register 172).

The CMO for call decoding is programmed in register 091 (2nd digit, usually programmed with ‘2’ =>

call to control center).
