Before you start!
X10DR 2nd generation has been designed to allow even
simpler connectivity to most current digital radio models
to those dating back from the 90’s from most professional
radio manufacturers. Additionally many users are nding
X10DR the ideal way to liberate Control staff allowing
them to freely talk around while maintaining strict control
of the radio channel.
Understanding the basic connectivity will allow you to
successfully connect to just about any wireless radio
device, or to allied wired radio control consoles. The
following describes the pin out connectivity of the X10DR
gateway’s 8 pin shielded RJ45 connector. Note: pins not
used should not have DC voltages or grounds applied
to them otherwise the device may be damaged or may
cause incorrect operation.
For simplicity ,“mobile” refers to a mobile radio, RF Control
station, Radio Base station, Control Console, Satellite
Communicator, Radio Link or any other electronic
device designed to pass bi-directional audio.
Pin 1. Power nominal +12VDC:
This pin should connect via a 3 amp in-line fuse preferably direct to a vehicle’s 12V battery but
can be any constant voltage from about 7-16VDC. Current consumption is typically 60mA or
20mA in standby. Max current 220mA@12V. It requires to be constantly connected to ensure
the units can recharge when the host mobile may be turned off.
For vehicles that isolate the vehicle battery after hours, it is recommended the X10DR be
installed with a XPB-C14 power bank connected in series with the radio interface cable. The
XPB-C14 will ensure the X10DR Secure Microphone is fully charged when the vehicle is made
active again. The 2nd generation X10DR Secure Mic includes a programmable auto-off timer
to prevent the handset battery going at, if left unattended. The “auto off” default timer is set
to 8 hours of no connectivity to its host gateway.

Pin 2. Emergency output to radio:
Connect this pin to the host mobile radio’s
emergency input. It provides an active
switched ground (<5mA sink) . The timing
and action of the pin is programmable
using the XFPK. The time held low can
be set as a pulse of ‘X’ duration e.g. a
xed time of 2.5 seconds or alternatively,
the exact time that the user presses the
Emergency button. This output could be
used for other functions such as to trigger
the panic function of a car alarm system.
On some radios this input is available as standard, on others it requires the host mobile’s I/O ports to be rst programmed for
such. If the 100 ohm series resistor does not allow radio Emergency to be switched hard enough to ground, use a XCA-RJ
adaptor to resolve. The XCA-RJ can also be used to provide a buffered Emergency output trigger max 50VDC@100mA.
Note: where the host radio requires active high ground input to trigger emergency, additional circuitry is included in the
radio specic XCA adaptor to facilitate the correct functionality. On Elite models this pin on the gateway can be externally
grounded to trigger audible alarms in the associated Secure Microphones.
Pin 3 - Radio Receive Audio:
This pin should connect to the host mobile’s receive audio output which can be
either high or low impedance. The audio source should be under the radio’s squelch
control and of a level above 40mVrms. Ideally, it should be sourced pre-volume
control however it can be post. In such cases the host mobile radio’s speaker audio
has rst been set for comfortable listening in the vehicle before adjusting the receive
audio gain using the XFPK Field Programming Kit. The pin is multiplexed so it can also
be used to indicate gateway programmable function 5&6.
A XSJB special junction box should be used to de-multiplex the function 5&6 status.

Pin 4 - Ext Mic Hi Output/Radio On detect
This pin should connect to the host mobile’s transmit audio input.
This is the audio from the Secure Wireless Microphone that is to be
transmitted over the host mobile radio’s transmitter. It is factory set for
approx 80mV RMS. (This can be adjusted up to >400mV RMS by use of
the X10DR XFPK Programming kit.)
Pin 4 is also used to automatically turn on/off X10DR by sensing the
host radio’s status. Generally most mobiles provide a DC voltage
Mic bias for powering electret microphones on their external Mic Hi
inputs. The XCA series cable adaptors provide added circuitry where
Mic bias voltage is not available. Additionally some XCA adaptors
also include circuitry to reduce audio levels when the host device
interface specications are outside the X10DR’s normal operation
range.
The installer should connect a 100K resistor between 12V (Batt+) to Pin 4 when a host device switched DC output is not
available. Note: The X10DR’s Secure Microphone’s battery will still charge when the mobile is powered off.
Pin 5. Mic Lo:
This connects to the host mobile’s microphone audio ground.
Pin 6. COR/ Audio unmute from radio:
This input is designed to monitor the receive status of the host mobile radio. For best
operation it is driven by an “audio unmute” switched ground output from the host
mobile. i.e. an indicator of whenever the host radio’s speaker unmutes. Alternatively,
it should be driven by a switched ground output that indicates the radio’s squelch
condition. This output should factor reception of the required correct CTCSS tones,
etc. On some radios this output is available as standard, on others it requires the host
mobile’s I/O ports to be rst programmed for such. On some radio devices a COR
output is not available without modifying the host mobile. While this would be desirable, the X10DR features smart voice
detect circuitry to adapt its operation in these cases where a radio COR is not available.
The COR line input is normally set for active low but can be set for active high with use of the XFPK programming kit.

Pin 7. Ext PTT to radio:
This pin provides a switched ground output
and should connect to the host mobile
radio’s external PTT input. Some radio
models have active high PTT inputs. Those
models will require the use of special
interface cables that allow the X10DR
output to be inverted to an active high. If
the 100 ohm series resistor does not allow
radio PTT to be switched hard enough to
ground, use a XCA-RJ adaptor to resolve.
The XCA-RJ can also be used to provide a
buffered PTT output - max 50VDC@100mA.
Pin 8. Remote/ footswitch/Handle bar PTT:
This pin allows you to provide a remote PTT alternative to transmit Secure Wireless Microphone audio over the host mobile
radio. You may choose to connect to a motorbike’s handle bar PTT, a hidden palm or footswitch or a wireless PTT device.
When a headset is connected to a secure wireless microphone’s Hirose® audio port the microphone sensitivity when the
remote PTT is grounded is normal.
However, if a headset is NOT attached to the Hirose audio port, then grounding pin 8 by default causes the X10DR to transmit
audio with substantially increased Mic sensitivity. The value of this Mic boost can programmed in the handset using the XFPK
eld programming kit.
Remote Monitor can be achieved by using a switched ground output from the host mobile to remotely activate the function.
Thus a control room operator could send a remote monitor command on an equipped mobile that would enable the user’s
X10DR Mic and provide ambient audio to the control operator to ascertain the health or safety of the user.
Alternatively, this pin can be used with the XSJB Special junction box for other specialist applications.
Shield: . DC Ground:
This pin should connect to DC / Digital ground connection. Note: on digital radios this is usually NEVER audio ground. Connect
to the vehicle’s chassis or a solid DC ground from the host mobile.

Adjusting Levels - VERY IMPORTANT
Installation of the X10DR requires setting of audio levels between the X10DR and the host radio. The XFPK Field Programming
Kit allows the X10DR to be congured to provide optimum audio to be sent between the X10DR gateway and the attached
host mobile.
The X10DR is factory set to provide a nominal 80mVrms audio signal to the host radio’s mic input. This level can be adjusted
via setting the Transmit Output Gain To Radio on the gateway to suit the particular radios requirement. The level should be
adjusted (if necessary) to match the audio level & quality when the X10DR transmit audio is compared with the host radio st
mic transmit audio level & quality (listen via a service monitor, or another radio). Additionally the Secure Mic programming a
variety of audio level settings to optimise for your specic application. These include: Internal Mic Gain, Internal Mic High Gain
Boost, External Mic Gain, External Mic High Gain Boost, Remote PTT Gain Boost and Fixed Alert Tone Volume when desired.
Receiver Input Gain From Radio on the gateway should be adjusted (if necessary) to set a loud and undistorted receive audio
signal on the X10DR unit when receiving from a service monitor, or another radio. Make sure the X10DR user volume control
is on level 4 before adjusting (press the right blue button closest to the antenna 5 times and then press the left blue button
once). Note: some radios can only provide a volume controlled audio output to the X10DR. In such cases you should rst set
the host radio speaker volume to a comfortable listening level in the vehicle, and then adjust the X10DR volume to suit.
Radio Programming - VERY IMPORTANT
For correct X10DR operation, the host mobile radio on some occasions will
require reprogramming (via its associated FPP/CPS etc) to enable correct
functionality. Read carefully this instruction document and the Programming
Parameters Guide (download at www.x10dr.com) to get a more complete
understanding of the interfacing requirements. It is not a difcult interface
but it does require common radio technical practical common-sense when
interfacing to other devices. Whilst some manufacturers radios are pre-
congured to suit from the factory, others require service shop programming
for functions like PTT, COR (channel busy), emergency trigger and audio level
settings to be accessible on the radios rear interface connector. Incorrect
radio settings may cause distortion or noisy audio, the unit to not function or
may damage either the X10DR or host radio if not congured properly.
