Introduction
This operator manual serves as the primary document for familiarising users with the parameters of
the radio modem, its properties, modifications and with the parameters of connecting parts. In order to
master all the functions of the radio modem and the MORSE system you should refer to other documents.
In next description is used the notation modem or router instead of radiomodem.

Introduction

1. Radio modem MR400 (MR300, MR160, MR160P)
MR 400, MR300and MR160 are conceptually new radio modems designed for transmitting data in the
VHF and UHF bands. The radio modem uses 4-state FSK modulation providing for a maximum signalling
rate of 21.68 kbit/s.
The radio modem is of modular design with one to four standard RS232 ports (an RS422 or RS485
port can be used in place of two of them) available to the user. The configuration can be extended by
an Ethernet interface and also by a module with analog and digital inputs/outputs and GPS module. It
is generally manufactured with two analog inputs and outputs and with two digital inputs and outputs.
The radio data transceiver module can be configured to a random frequency of the transmitter and re-
ceiver in the 3.2 MHz frequency range in a 25 kHz channel raster. The output and input working fre-
quencies are mutually independent and are derived from the frequencies of four phase-hung systems
programmed by the transceiver microprocessor. Channel settings are stored in the transceiver EEPROM
memory and the FLASH memory module of the modem whose communication processor controls the
operation of the transceiver microprocessor. The power of the radio modem transmitter is digitally set
in sixteen steps from 0.1 to 5 W. In the case of high-performance radio modems of type P (see serial
code) also in sixteen steps, but up to 25 W.
The design and construction of this device allows for long-term loading and for this reason it is
primarily determined for continuously running applications.
Software control is compatible with the operation and configuration of the other radio modems of the
MORSE system. A description of software control and configuration is available in publications describing
MORSE Firmware.
Important
The radio modem is equipment which can only be operated in the Czech Republic on the
basis of Permission to operate transmitting radio stations issued by the Department of Fre-
quency Spectrum Management at the Czech Telecommunication Office.

2. Description of Radiomodem Functions
2.1. Radio part
The architecture of MR400 (MR300, MR160) radio modems resolves most of the requirements placed
on a top quality user friendly radio modem with a very short switching time between receiving and
transmitting. Frequency synthesis enables operation on any random channel from a given frequency
band. The operation of the radio data transceiver module is controlled and diagnosed by the micro-
controller. The receiving part of the radio modem works with double mixing. Concentrated selectivity
is divided between both intermediate frequency levels. The first filter carries out basic channel pre-se-
lection up until attenuation which ensures the linear function of the following second mixer and interme-
diate frequency amplifier. The second filter of concentrated selectivity has an attenuation characteristic
necessary for channel selection in the used channel spacing of 25 kHz. Logic circuits, switching stations
between modes of receiving and transmitting, have high noise immunity and switch respective blocks
sequentially. This minimises most transient parasite states and optimises bandwidth during switching.
Station block modes are logically tied and switching of the station to transmitting mode is tied to the
frequency synthetiser lock, the internal temperature of the radio transceiver module and the value of
the supply voltage.
2.2. Modem part
The control microcomputer has 4 MB of FLASH memory and 16 MB of RAM memory available. The
battery, real time backup supply, detector of supply voltage failure and watch dog circuits belong
amongst the other circuits of this block. If there is a supply voltage failure the fact is recorded into
memory with the respective time data thanks to the charge stored in electrolytic capacitors. The user
therefore has information available about the time and duration of possible faults caused by power
failures. It is possible to connect equipment with signalling rates up to 115.2 kbit/s to the modem via
the RS232 data interface. RS232 interface converters are protected against overvoltage with TRANSIL
elements. A lithium battery is used for backing up in the modem part.
Note
Owing to the use of lithium batteries in the modem part it is not recommended to store them
for a period of longer than 2 years.
2.3. Supplying
The radiomodem is supplied by the DC current 13.8 V. The consumption in the quiet state is from 350
to 500 mA according to module used, the consumption at transmitting is up to 2 A. (high-performance
radio modems of type P – up to 5 A) The modem can be set in the SLEEP mode when the consumption
drops down to 2.5 mA. The return in the active mode can be done by the signal inputting on the serial
port or after a preset time.
2.4. Radio Modem Assembly
Radio modems MR400 (MR300, MR160) are special devices which require skilled assembly. All supplied
equipment is assembled by RACOM at the user’s site. For subsequent maintenance RACOM specially
trains the user’s skilled staff and as an additional aid provides them with Operating regulations for radio
data networks and MORSE Firmware – Documentation.

Description of Radiomodem Functions

High-performance radio modems of type P (see serial code) need to be installed in a manner which
takes into consideration their high demand for heat dissipation, i.e. the rear side of the modem needs
to lie tightly against the mounting plate, as it also serves as a heat sink.
Important
CAUTION! Danger of explosion upon replacing the incorrect type of battery. Follow the
manufacturers instructions for handling used batteries.

3. Connectors
3.1. Antenna
The cable for connecting the antenna is fitted with an N type connector. Use a connector of the corres-
ponding type and impedance as its mate. We recommend using an RG213 cable for aerial leads up
to 25 m in length and a H1000 for longer leads.
Important
CAUTION. The radio modem cannot be connected to the power supply without the antenna
connected (or corresponding artificial load). Otherwise this could lead to damage to the radio
part of the modem.
3.2. Serial Interface
The router can be equipped with serial ports RS232 or RS422/485, the ports can be optical isolated.
According to the configuration it is possible to use a terminal block or DSUB 9 (Canon) connectors for
connecting data cables via the serial interface. See Chapter Dimensional Diagram and Labeling. Data
rate on the serial interface can be from 200 bps to 230,400 bps.

Note - For data connector RS485 connection see Table of data connector RS422 connections.
Important - For making data cables for connecting the user´s terminal equipment to the serial port we
recommend using a shielded cable, particularly in an industrial environment, and connecting the
shielding to GND (pin No. 5). When using a multi-core cable all free conductors should be connected
to pin No. 5. In the case of a galvanically separate port for RS485 (RS422) only ground one side of the
data cable. We recommend using only the necessary minimum length for data cables.
3.2.2. Distinguishing Data Modules by Colour
For RS232 RxD is the output from the router (approx. -6V when inactive) and TxD is the input to the
router (according to the RS 232 standard). Hardware versions of the interface can be distinguished
according to the colours of LED diodes next to the connector.

The SCC ports of the router are DCE type devices. Based on standards the receiver terminal RxD of
the connected DTE device is connected to the transmitting terminal of the router's SCC port which is
also labelled RxD. Similarly the red LED indicating transmission from SCC is labelled RxD.
3.3. Ethernet
• Connector RJ-45 for Ethernet 10BaseT and 100BaseT corresponds to the EIA TIA T568B standard.
• Informative LED diodes indicate:
○ Tx – yellow - output or input active (*Tx - red - output from ETH channel)
○ Rx – yellow - output or input active (*Rx - green - input to ETH channel
Note
Green LED Tx and yellow LED Rx flash simultaneuosly. The informations marked
(*) are valid for hw version produced until 07/2008.
○ 100 – yellow - if lit the 100Base-TX net is indicated otherwise is 10Base-T
○ LINK – green - indicates correctly connected link
○ F.D. – green - indicates full duplex operation
• The direct cable serves for connecting to the Ethernet network via the hub (repeater) or switch-hub
(router).
• A crossed cable serves for connecting only two devices - MR400-MC100, MR400-PC, etc.
The ETH module consumption is 30 mA (60 mA until 07/2008).
The following table contains connector connections and colours of conductors. For the crossed cable
the order of conductors on one side is the same as for the direct cable.

3.5. GPS Module
A GPS module can be positioned in the first or second slot of optional modules, see section Section 3.9,
“View of Radio Modem”. (For MG100 only in the first slot.) The second slot is recommended because
when using slot 1 you first need to disconnect it in the modem´s service mode, see section Section 3.8,
“Service Connector”. You can find further detailed information on the module manufacturer’s web
pages1.

Upon installation in railway vehicles, where there is a high level of interference, special attention should
be given to the communication interface. In such cases it is necessary to use shielded cables and
correctly grounded twisted pairs.
Note
The standard CSN EN 50155 (Electronic equipment in railway vehicles) does not apply to
analog inputs and outputs and to the interface in the 1st slot. Therefore they are not recom-
mended for use, and in an environment specified according to this standard no warranty
applies to their use.
