1. General Description
1.1 Introduction
RCI5000™ is a dedicated Radio Communication Interface between several radio
systems such as LARS™, RCMS™, MEGANET™ and the operator or PC in the
control station.
The RCI5000 receives information from end units (transmitters/transceivers) in the
network, such as ATS100™,or repeaters: (e.g., SMR5000™). The RCI5000
displays the processed information, prints it, and forwards it to the PC in the center
for further processing and display.
RCI5000™ as part of the new 5000 family has many new features that make him the
leading product in the market today.
1.2 Physical Description
RCI5000 can come in two configurations; without radio configuration and with radio
configuration.
Without radio configuration - In this configuration the RCI5000 includes an internal
encoder/decoder (ED5000) that receives radio signals from external radio transceiver.
Converts those radio (analog) signal to digital and vice versa.
With radio configuration - In this configuration the RCI5000 includes an internal digital
transceiver (IATS5000) in the VHF 136-174 MHz band or in the UHF 400-512 MHz band.
All configurations also include one powerful CPU (CI5000), a 1.3Ah backup battery and
charger. All these components are housed in a desktop mount.
The RCI5000 has a built-in keyboard for entering parameters and an LCD for message and
data display. It has three ports: a serial port, a parallel port and a USB port, which connect
to a PC and a printer.

1.3 Principal of Operation
The RCI5000™ receives messages from remote transmitters or repeaters. It decodes them,
displays the information on its LCD, and sends it to the printer and PC in the control center
for further processing and display.
All RCI5000 setup parameters are software-based (no dipswitches).
The RCI5000has two modes of operation: local and remote.
In local mode, the RCI5000 operates as a stand-alone unit. It receives messages from remote
stations, alerts the operator to each incoming message by sounding a buzzer, displays the
messages, and stores up to 200 messages in its memory stack. Messages can be reviewed at a
later time in FIFO order.
In remote mode, messages received by the RCI5000™ are automatically transferred to the
automation software. In case of PC failure, the RCI5000 automatically reverts to local mode.
See Appendix B for a detailed description of RCI-to-PC communication formats and
protocols.
While using LARS family of protocols, few protocols and operation modes are available:

9
•LARS: Octal addressing protocol for security systems.
•LARS1: Decimal addressing protocol for security systems.
•LARS+: Octal addressing protocol, supports communication mode for Dual frequency systems:
RCI5000 includes a built-in ‘Signal Strength Measurement’ feature, which support
measurement while using an external radio. The ‘Signal Strength Measurement’ data is
display on LCD while using ‘Channel Screen’, and also send to unit’s port (refer to: ‘Ports
Setup’).
To assure accurate ‘Signal Strength Measurement’ results, three parameters have to be in full
matching:
•HW signals between External Radio and RCI5000 must be connect properly.
•Audio gain has to be set to the required level.
•RCI5000 internal measurement tables to match specific External Transceiver type and frequency
range.
While ordering a new RCI5000 unit together with KP factory made External Radio, the
RCI5000 is factory set to measuring using the supplied External Radio unit.
If a local Transceiver is to be connected to RCI5000 by customer, please contact KP’s
technical support.

2. RCI5000 panels Description
2.1 Front Panel
The RCI5000 front panel has an 80-character LCD for displaying information and
messages, 4 LEDs for status display, and a built-in interactive keypad and a buzzer.
The front panel is also illuminated to enable the user to operate the RCI5000in low
light/dark conditions.

7. Confirm/Message scan LED
2.1.1 LEDs
The LEDs provide basic system status.
POWER – Indicates some system power conditions, such as AC fail, low battery
etc.
See Section 3.1 for more details.
FAULT – When ON indicates there is a system problem. Check System Status on
main LCD menu.
REMOTE COMM – When ON indicates that RCI5000 is in REMOTE mode and
messages are transmitted to the PC. When OFF indicates that RCI5000 in LOCAL
mode and messages are stored local in RCI.
CONF – Located inside CONF key and is used only in LOCAL mode.
When blinking indicates that message has been received and RCI5000 is waiting
for operator confirmation.
