2.5 INSTALLATION – WIRING INSTRUCTIONS
For most installations, only the power cable connection and the antenna connection are required.
However an installation of two TDAM-1000 transceivers can take advantage of the ‘Cross Mute’
feature available on the 26 pin HD D connector. The Cross Mute function will mute the other
receiver whenever one of the radios is transmitting. A mating 26 pin HD D connector is supplied
in the installation kit.
2.5.1 J1 PINS 1 AND 2 – MAIN POWER INPUT
Use supplied power cable to connect to vehicle accessory power source.
2.5.2 J3 PINS 8 AND 9 – EXTERNAL SPEAKER OUTPUT + AND –
10 watt speaker output at 8 ohm impedance. The speaker output includes receive audio only. The
Level is set by the volume control. The speaker output is also available on a 1/8” phone jack (J2)
on the back of the radio. The output amplifier is of a ‘bridged‘ type, so both + and – must not be
connected to ground.
2.5.3 J3 PIN 26 – MONITOR AUDIO
Line level audio output receive and sidetone (mic) audio combined. Not affected by the volume
control.
2.5.4 J3 PIN 25 – HEADSET AUDIO
0.5 watt 600 ohm audio output. Includes receive and sidetone (mic) audio. The level is set by
the volume control. Can be used when a remote user position is required, leave unconnected
otherwise.
2.5.5 J3 PIN 7 – CROSS MUTE INPUT
Receive audio will be muted on the speaker, headset and monitor outputs when this input is at 10
volts. Connect to the cross mute output on the second radio.
2.5.6 J3 PIN 16 – CROSS MUTE OUTPUT
10 volt output during transmit and 0 volts during receive. Connect to the cross mute input of the
second radio.
2.5.7 J3 PIN 6 – REMOTE MIC AUDIO
Microphone audio input. Mic DC bias voltage is supplied. Can be used when a remote user
position is required, leave unconnected otherwise.
2.5.8 J3 PIN 18 – REMOTE PTT INPUT
Push to talk input. Radio will transmit when this line is brought to ground. Can be used when a
remote user position is required, leave unconnected otherwise.
2.5.9 J3 PINS 11, 14 AND 17 – GROUND
Ground. Connected to signal and chassis ground.
2.5.10 J3 PIN 24 – SQUELCH OUTPUT
Squelch signal output. Open collector output which goes to ground when squelch is open.
2.5.11 J3 PINS 1 TO 5, 10, 12, 13, 15 AND 19 TO 23 – BASE STATION INTERFACE
For base station applications only. Do not connect.

2.6 INSTALLATION – ANTENNA
For best results, the antenna should be mounted as high as possible in the center of a flat
metallic surface at least 52” in diameter. Where this may not always be possible, mounting the
antenna in the center of the roof of most cars or trucks should give reasonable performance. The
antenna should be at least 52” from any other antenna. The 181299-1 antenna supplied with the
TMS-110 system can be assembled by the following procedure:
 Drill a 3/8” hole where the antenna is to be installed.
 Unpackage the antenna and disassemble the antenna base:
 Press antenna base through the 3/8” hole and supplied washer:
 Feed coax through the antenna base:
 Slide the locking core over the coax and into the antenna base:

 Spread the coax shielding over the antenna base:
 Trim the shielding to allow the lock nut to be installed.
 Install and tighten the antenna base lock nut:
 Install and tighten the antenna base grounding cap:
 Place the rubber seal around the antenna base:

 Screw on antenna base insulator and tighten:
 Bend center conductor over into one of the grooves.
 Cut off excess length:
 Screw on antenna whip:
 Route the coax to the back of the radio position.

2.7 INSTALLATION – MOUNTING BRACKET
Mount the bracket to the vehicle as required with the two #6 x ¾” self-tapping screws.
The radio may be mounted above or the below the bracket depending on the installation. Use the
four 8-32 x 5/16” black screws to attach the radio to the bracket. The bracket has slots to allow
the angle to be adjusted.
2.8 INSTALLATION – MICROPHONE
Connect the supplied microphone to the radio by plugging in the RJ-45 connector into the front
panel underneath the knob until it clicks.
The mic clip can be installed on the radio or elsewhere in the vehicle. There are holes for vertical
or horizontal mounting on either side of the radio using the two 6-32 x ¼” screws supplied.

2.9 INSTALLATION – POWER CORD
Plug the supplied power cord into power jack J1 on the back of the radio and tighten both of the
mating screws. Route the red wire to the accessories supply of the vehicle, cutting off any
excess. Connect the black wire to the vehicle chassis ground.

FIGURE 3. Front Panel Controls
3.3.1 VOLUME KNOB
The volume knob has a push button built in which is used to turn the radio on and off as well as
select other functions for the knob. To turn on the radio, press and hold the knob until the display
lights up. To turn off the radio, press and hold the knob for approximately 3 seconds until the
display shows ‘OFF’. Quick presses of the knob during normal operation will toggle the knob
function between volume, channel, squelch and brightness modes. The default mode for the knob
is volume when the radio is turned on.
SECTION 3: OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

TECHNISONIC INDUSTRIES LIMITED

3.3.2 SQUELCH BUTTON
The squelch function mutes the receiver when no signal is present so the operator does not listen
to continuous receiver noise. When the knob is in squelch mode, it adjusts the muting threshold
from fully open to a level where only a strong signal can be heard. Pressing the squelch button
will temporarily open the squelch for as long as the button is pressed. When released, the knob is
put into squelch mode for 3 seconds with the squelch level shown on the bottom line of the
display.
3.3.3 LED DISPLAY
The display is a 2 line 16 character green LED type. During normal operation the frequency,
channel name and/or channel number may be displayed depending on settings in the
configuration menu. The display is also used during programming and menu functions. There are
two LED indicators on the right of the display for transmit and receive (squelch open).
3.3.4 KEYPAD
A numeric keypad is provided to allow quick entry of frequencies or program channels.
3.3.5 CHANNEL UP/DOWN KEYS
These keys are used to select the desired channel.
3.3.6 USB CONNECTOR
The USB connector can be used to upload or download a channel list or program the radio
configuration. See 3.5 FUNCTION MENU for instructions.
3.3.7 MIC AND HEADSET JACKS
The supplied hand mic is plugged into the RJ-45 type jack. Headphones if desired can be
plugged into the headset jack. The internal speaker and external speaker output can be disabled
(default) when the headset jack is used depending on the settings in the configuration menu.
3.4 NORMAL OPERATION
Note: The TDAM-1000 transceiver can be configured to operate in one of two modes:
1. Frequency agile mode – Any frequency from 117.975 to 138.000 MHz can be selected or
programmed into any of the 100 available channels.
2. Fixed mode – Only frequencies programmed into channels can be used.
The operating mode can be set in the configuration menu. The following instructions assume
frequency agile mode. Those marked with an asterisk (*) will not be available in fixed mode.
3.4.1 ENTERING A FREQUENCY*
The TDAM-1000 supports both 25 kHz and 8.33 kHz channel spacing. The channel spacing used
is determined by the frequency entered. See the ICAO frequency chart in section 3.7.
To enter a new frequency, type in the frequency (up to 6 digits) via the keypad and press enter. If
enter is not pressed within 3 seconds or the mic is keyed, the radio will revert back to the
previous frequency. For example, to enter 128.75 press:
The new frequency is ready to use. The new frequency is not saved in a channel but will remain
active until another frequency or channel is selected.
