CAUTION
LEGEND
The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the
presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the
literature accompanying the product.
The lightning flash with an arrowhead symbol within an equilateral triangle is intended
to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated ‘dangerous voltage’ within the product’s
enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to
persons.

Clean only with dry cloth.
THIS PRODUCT SHOULD NORMALLY ONLY REQUIRE A WIPE WITH A SOFT, DAMP, LINT-FREE CLOTH.
DO NOT USE PAINT THINNER OR OTHER CHEMICAL SOLVENTS FOR CLEANING.
Opening of the product chassis.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE COVER (OR BACK).
NO USER SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE; THE PRODUCT CHASSIS SHOULD ONLY BE OPENED BY
QUALIFIED PERSONNEL FOR MAINTENANCE PURPOSE (EXCEPT FOR OPPOSITE INSTRUCTIONS IN THE
USER’S MANUAL).
Technical Maintenance.
Refer all servicing to qualified maintenance personnel. Servicing is required when
apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as power supply cord is damaged,
liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has
been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.
THE QUALIFIED MAINTENANCE PERSONNEL MUST TAKE REASONABLE PRECAUTIONS TO FACE THE
OBVIOUS DANGERS.
Powers sources.
Only connect the apparatus to a power supply of the described in the operating
instructions or as marked on the apparatus.
Turning off the power switch does not completely isolate this product from the power
line so remove the plug from the socket if not using it for extended period of time.
Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms.
Power cord protection.
Power supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or
pinched by items placed upon or against them, paying particular attention to cords and
plugs, and the point where they exit from the appliance.
Grounding.
WARNING: THIS APPARATUS SHALL BE CONNECTED TO A MAINS SOCKET OUTLET WITH A
PROTECTIVE EARTHING CONNECTION.
THE APPLIANCE MUST BE CONNECTED TO AN ELECTRICAL GROUND AND THE POWER CORD IS
DESIGNED FOR THAT.
Linked first of all the mechanical mass (present gudgeon M4 at the rear of the
equipment). The product must be connected with an earth of protection by a green /
yellow cable with a section at least equal to 0.75 mm² with a round pod diameter 4 mm
containing a double setting and preservation on the ground wire.

CE MARKING
Markings are placed at the rear of the unit, regarding the power ratings and compliance.
The symbol on the PC chassis indicates that it is in compliance with the Electromagnetic
Compatibility directive (2014/30/UE), the low Voltage directive (2014/35/UE) and the RoHS
directive (2011/65/UE). A certificate of compliance is available by contacting technical support. This
equipment is a:
✔Group 1 Class A product
Recommendation concerning the cabling:
CE certification has been carried out with 3-meter interconnecting cables with remote equipment.
SAFRAN DATA SYSTEMS recommends the use of high quality interconnecting cables type. The high
quality recommended user interconnecting cables are “shield twisted pair” or “coaxial cable” industrial
type with cable shield. The cable shield will provide the necessary mechanical protection.
Not using this high quality designed cable could result in unexpected intersystem / extrasystem
electromagnetic emission and susceptibility.

1 AIM
The Cortex RTR broadband Radio Telemetry Receiver is a complete telemetry receiver including RF
receivers, pre-detection and post-detection processing, demodulators, bit synchronizers and decoders,
data transmission on Ethernet. It is based on the Cortex architecture, having versatile features for all
telemetry applications. It provides a TCP/IP socket interface allowing integration into any system type,
and an easy-to-use GUI for configuration and monitoring. It is a compact design housed in a single 4U
unit using PCI express bus architecture, including screen and keyboard for direct operation.
Many analog features are provided (AGC outputs, tape in/out, AM demodulator out, 70 MHz
interface…) for the purpose of test and to interface with external equipment
The RTR-NeXt exists in different packages:
RTR Dual Channel : Dual Channel with three demodulators
oIRIG band (P, C-IF, LL, UL, S) : S109992 (Previously SM01059943A)
oS band : S109997 (Previously SM01059941A)
RTR Quad Channel : 2 X Dual Channel with three demodulators per dual receiver
oIRIG band (P, C-IF, LL, UL, S) : S109994 (Previously SM01059948A)
oS band : S110002 (Previously SM01059947A)
Note:
1. C band is optional.
2. Other specific reference may exist and share the same common basis as version described above.
This document is still applicable for those specific versions.
