About your SD-170EX Series Data Radio
The SD-170EX Series of RF Link Modules utilize the latest technology in their designs and manufacturing. SD-170EX
models are Phase Lock Loop Synthesizer (PLL) / microprocessor controlled and offers 1/ 5 watt (Low / High) programmable
output power with 16-channel capability. Multiple functions including 1200 to 9600 baud rates, AC and/or DC audio
coupling, GMSK, FFSK and FSK modulation are standard in these fully programmable RF Link Module units.
Programmable sub - audio squelch system (CTCSS & DCS) and two-tone squelch system are added to the signal level
detect squelch system (RSSI). GPS Data handling is provided to interface and control an internal GPS r eceiver.
To assure satisfaction from the radio, we urge you to thoroughly read the operation and function information in this manual
before operating your SD - 171EX/SD - 174EX.
Applications of some of the functions described in this manual are determined by the system you use. Your radio may be
programmed so that you have the greatest number of functions possible relative to your needs.
Should you have questions regarding the operation of the radio, please consult your Deale r and/or Maxon Australia .

Antenna installation
Fasten the antenna to the radio by turning the antenna cable clockwise into the receptacle on left of radio when looking at
front of r adio.
Powering the data radio
Your data radio accepts many sources of DC power to permit more versatile use. This radio operates from 9.0V to 18V DC
and standard voltage for test is 12V DC.

SD-170EX Series Operation
Channel select / SCAN
Your r adio ‟ s channel can be selected by inner DIP-S/W or serial command inputted from external control system. To change
channel by inner DIP-S/W (%), you should open the upper cover and then look for the DIP-S/W(%) on the digital board of
the bottom cover. Once located, change the DIP-S/W to select wanted channel according to channel dip switch cha r t.
To use a serial command for channel selection, it should be inputted by external equipment or device (ex. Pe r sonal
computer) through Pin 8 of DE-9 connector. See the message format for serial command for full details.
If your radio has been programmed the channel scan, you must enter the scan mode by serial command.
Transmit
The transmission will be made by various inputs such as PTT signal (Pin 3 of DB-15 connector), TX serial command and
Serial data input (Pin 10 of DB-15 connector: This input is only available when a modem option board is installed). TTL level
is used as PTT signal and is active low. If you installed an option modem board, you can use RS-232 level as a PTT signal
instead of TTL level. To maintain transmission, continuous PTT signal input is required. If you use Tx serial command fo r
transmission, normally, it ‟ s released by Rx serial command. If RF activity is present; it will not be illuminated if the r adio
indicates a “clear” channel. When the channel is “clear”, input the PTT signal or Tx serial command and transmit data o r
audio. Remove the PTT signal or input Rx serial command when you have finished t r ansmission.
CAUTION : Operation of the transmitter without a proper antenna installed may
result in permanent damage to the radio.
Receive
When you have finished transmission, remove the PTT signal or input Rx serial command. You will receive data f r om
another radio or hear another person talking from the connected external speake r .
10

Scan modes
Scanning is a programmable feature that allows you to monitor a number of channels.
Channel scan
Once the scan list has been established, initiate scan by serial commands. If a conversation is detected on any of the
channels in the scan list, the radio will stop on that channel and you will be able to hear the conversation. At that time, busy
channel data is sent to external equipment or device through serial command. So, you can identify busy channel data as
decoding of received serial command from your radio in the external equipment or device.
Normally, if you try to transmit during scanning, the transmission will be made on the channel that the call was
r eceived
during the programmable scan delay time. (The scan delay time is the amount of time the radio will stay on that channel
once activity has ceased. Dealer programming of 4 ~ 7 seconds is typical). The radio will resume scanning once the scan
delay time has expired, and will continue to scan until the serial command for scan stop is inputted by exte
r nal equipment.
After the scan resumes, if a transmission is made, the radio will transmit on the selected priority channel. This feature is
similar to priority scan TX except for selection of priority channel. You can assign a priority channel by inner dip switch only.
Scan channel delete
To temporarily delete a channel from the scan list, simply input the serial command for scan deletion to the radio while
scanning and stopped on the channel to be deleted. This will temporarily remove that channel from the scan list until the
scan is closed or the
r adio ‟ s power is r eset.
CTCSS / DCS Scanning
To help to block out unwanted calls to your radio, the SD-170EX series can be programmed to scan for tones.

Audible alert tones
Your SD-170EX series data radio has a sophisticated microprocessor control which provides a range of audible tone. If you
connect the Speaker filtered OUT (Pin 9 of DB-15 connector) to an external speaker, you can hear audible tones at the
following conditions:
• Attempt to transmit on a channel that is already in use when busy channel lockout has been programmed into the r adio
• Transmission time has exceeded time-out timer programmed length
• When the other group or people finished transmission using r epeate r

Modem option for data communication
DESCRIPTION
The ACC-513E and ACC-514E are internal option-modems, which are applied to the SD-170EX series to increase capability
for data applications. The goal of an internal modem is to improve the efficiency for data transmission and p r ovide
maximum flexibility for user applications. The most obvious method of increasing the data efficiency is to maximize the data
signaling speed in the limited channel bandwidth. But, FSK, called direct FM modulation, has a very wide t r ansmission
bandwidth requirement. To solve this problem a GMSK (Gaussian Filtered Minimum Shift Keying) internal option-board can
be used. Generally data has a wider bandwidth than audio. So, direct application of data is not matched with an audio
system and its application. For instance, if sub-audio (Tone) SQ system applied to a data application, its frequency conflicts
with that of sub-audio. Moreover, the inputted data is filtered by the audio filter circuit resulting in broken data t r ansmission.
To overcome these problems and provide maximum flexibility, an FFSK (Fast Frequency Shift Keying) internal option - boa r d
can be used.
COMMUNICATION BETWEEN DTE AND OPTION - BOARD
Our internal modem options consist of Slave MCU, Modem IC, and extra circuitry. These option-boards di r ectly
communicate with DTE (Data Terminal Equipment) to send and receive meaningful data through the DB-15 connector on
the digital board of the SD-170EX. These modems are designed to accept RS232 serial data format and are also capable of
high speed wireless data-transmission between two or more devices. More detailed information for the modem option
boards is given in the technical manual for the ACC-513E/514E. Your dealer will help you define a TX On/Off delay time,
RX On delay time, Baud Rate, Modem Enabled, Modem Baud Rate, Data flow control, and Test Mode.
