RTS DV 2055 Series User manual

DV 2055/2066/2135/2400
Series Mobile Radio

Thank you for choosing this vehicle transceiver,
always provides high quality products, And this transceiver is
no exception. As you learn how to use this transceiver, you will
find that is pursuing “user friendliness”. For example,
each time you change the Menu No. in Menu mode, you will see
a text message on the display that lets you know what you are
conguring.
Though user friendly, this transceiver is technically sophisticated
and some features may be new to you. Consider this manual
to be a personal tutorial from the designers. Allow the manual
to guide you through the learning process now, then act as a
reference in the coming years.
Precautions
Please observe the following precautions to prevent fire,
personal injury, and/or transceiver damage:
Do not attempt to configure your transceiver while driving;
it is simply too dangerous.
This transceiver is designed for a 13.8V power source. Never
use a 24V battery to power the transceiver.
Do not place the transceiver
in excessively dusty, humid
or wet areas, nor on unstable
surfaces.
Please keep it away from
interferential devices (such
as TV, generator etc.) when
interfered by external
Do not expose the transceiver to long periods of direct
sunlight nor place it close to heating appliances.
If an abnormal odor or smoke is detected coming from the
transceiver, turn OFF the power immediately. Contact a
service station or your dealer.
Do not transmit with high output power for extended periods;
the transceiver may overheat.

PREPARATION
•Determine the appropriate angle of the transceiver, using the
3 screw hole positions on the side of the mounting bracket.
Mobile installation
To install the transceiver, select a safe, convenient location inside
your vehicle that minimizes danger to your passengers and yourself
while the vehicle is in motion. Consider installing the unit at an
appro-priate position so that knees or legs will not strike it during
sudden bra-king of your vehicle. Try to pick a well ventilated location
that is shielded from direct sunlight.
•The bracket must be installed so that the 3 screw hole positions
on the side of the mounting bracket are towards the rear of the
bracket.

2. Position the transceiver, then insert and tighten the supplied
hexagonSEMSscrewsandatwashers.
•Double check that all hardware is tightened to prevent vehicle
vibration from loosening the bracket or transceiver.
1. Install the mounting bracket in the vehicle using the supplied self-
tappingscrews(4pcs),atwashers(4pcs),andspringwashers
(4pcs).

DC Power Cable Connection
♦Mobile Operation
The vehicle battery must have a nominal rating of 12V. Never connect
the transceiver to a 24V battery. Be sure to use a 12V vehicle battery
thathassufcientcurrentcapacity.Ifthecurrenttothetransceiveris
insufcient,thedisplaymaydarken duringtransmission,ortransmit
output power may drop excessively.
1. Route the DC power cable supplied with the transceiver directly to
the vehicle's battery terminals using the shortest path from the
transceiver.
•If using a noise filter, it should be installed with an insulator
to prevent it from touching metal on the vehicle.
• We recommend you do not use the cigarette lighter socket as some
cigarette lighter sockets introduce an unacceptable voltage
drop.
•The entire length of the cable must be dressed so it is isolated
from heat, moisture, and the engine secondary (high voltage)
ignition system/cables.
Locate the power input connector as close to the transceiver as
possible.
Note:
2. After the cable is in place, wrap heat-resistant tape around the
fuse holder to protect it from moisture and tie down the full run of
cable.
3. To prevent the risk of short circuits, disconnect other wiring from
the negative (-) battery terminal before connecting the transceiver.
4. Confirm the correct polarity of the connections, then attach the
power cable to the battery terminals; red connects to the positive (+)
terminal and black connects to the negative (-) terminal.
•Use the full length of the cable without cutting off excess
even if the cable is longer than required. In particular, never
remove the fuse holders from the cable.
5. Reconnect any wiring removed from the negative terminal.
6. Connect the DC power cable to the transceiver's power supply
connector.
•Press the connectors firmly together until the locking tab
clicks.

♦Fixed Station Operation
Inordertouse thistransceiverforxedstation1 operation,youwill
need a separate 13.8 V DC power supply (not included).
The recommended current capacity of your power supply is 12 A.
1. Connect the DC power cable to the regulated DC power supply
and ensure that the polarities are correct (Red: positive, Black:
negative).
•Do not directly connect the transceiver to an AC outlet.
•Use the supplied DC power cable to connect the transceiver to a
regulated power supply.
•Do not substitute a cable with smaller gauge wires.

♦Replacing Fuses
2. Connect the transceiver's DC power connector to the connector
ontheDCpowercable.Presstheconnectorsrmlytogetheruntil
the locking tab clicks.
Note:
Before connecting the DC power to the transceiver, be sure to
switch the transceiver and the DC power supply OFF.
Do not plug the DC power supply into an AC outlet until you make
all connections.
If the fuse blows, determine the cause, then correct the problem.
After the problem is resolved, replace the fuse. If newly installed fuses
continue to blow, disconnect the power cable and contact your autho-
rized dealer or an authorized service center for
assistance.

Note:
Caution:
Fuse Location Fuse Current Rating
Transceiver 15A
Supplied Accessory DC
power cable 20A
Only use fuses of the specified type and rating; otherwise the
transceiver could be damaged.
If you use the transceiver for a long period when the vehicle battery
is not fully charged, or when the engine is OFF, the battery may
becomedischarged,andwill nothavesufcientreservestostart
the vehicle.
Avoid using the transceiver in these conditions.
Antenna Connection
Beforeoperating,installanefcient,well-tunedantenna.Thesuccess
of your installation will depend largely on the type of antenna and its
correct installation. The transceiver can give excellent results if the
antenna system and its installation are given careful attention.
Usea50Ωimpedance antennaandlow-losscoaxialfeedline that
hasacharacteristicimpedanceof50Ω,tomatchthetransceiverinput
impedance. Coupling the antenna to the transceiver via feed lines
havinganimpedanceotherthan50Ωreduces theefciencyofthe
antenna system and can cause interference to nearby broadcast
television receivers, radio receivers, and other electronic equipment.
Note:
•Transmitting without first connecting an antenna or other
matched load may damage the transceiver. Always connect the

antenna to the transceiver before transmitting.
•All fixed stations should be equipped with a lightning arrester
toreducetheriskofre,electricshock,andtransceiverdamage.

Note:
If you plan to use an external speaker, choose a speaker with an
impedanceof8Ω.Theexternalspeakerjackacceptsa3.5mm(1/8")
mono (2-conductor) plug.
External speaker adopt double port BTL, please care about the
connecting way. The speaker can not connect with the ground,
otherwise the speaker will be fault. The wrong connecting way as
the following picture.

Note:
For voice communications, connect a microphone equipped with an
8-pin modular plug into the modular socket on the front of the main
unit.Pressrmlyonthepluguntilthelockingtabclicks.
Attach the supplied microphone hanger in an appropriate location
using the screws included in the screw set.
To utilize the optional DV2066_2135 software, you must first
connect the transceiver to your PC using an optional programming
Cable PC51 (via the microphone jack).
Please use DV2066_2135 software for programming.
Ask your dealer about purchasing a Programming Cable PC51.
