INITIAL SET-UP & PROGRAMMING

IMPORTANT - BEFORE permanently installing the DoorCom™ wireless intercom, you will need to review how you would like the DoorCom™ to operate. You will then need to temporarily set-up the system and apply power to the radio. This is necessary to program the radio and then test the system to confirm you have programmed it correctly.

For example:

• You will need to decide which DoorCom ^TM radio frequency and interference eliminator codes you intend to use.
• You will need to decide which of the two possible Modes of Operation you intend to use.
• You will need to decide where you intend to install the R-Series radio transceiver (INDOOR only mounting).
• Keep in mind, you will need to provide 110VAC to within a few feet of the radio.
• You will need to decide where you intend to install the RDC-1 speaker intercom box (INDOOR/OUTDOOR).
• The RDC-1 to radio connecting cable is 20ft. in length.
• The location of the antenna will also need to be clear of any metal objects and power lines.
• Keep clearance at least 3 feet in all directions.

PROGRAMMABLE FEATURES

Review the features below to determine how your system will operate. Certain features have been pre-configured as the Factory Default setting and do not require reprogramming.

Some of the features listed can be Field-Programmed (FP) without additional tools, and other features require a computer and programming software (PC). Please call Ritron if you have any questions or require special programming.

Glossary of Terms

FP = Field-Programmable Feature— no PC & software required.

PC = PC Programmable Feature with PC & Software

Automatic Turn-Off Mode – Speaker and radio both automatically turn off after programmable period of inactivity.

Intercom Mode – Automatic Turn-Off feature has been disabled, the radio is able to receive calls at any time.

Inactivity Time – A continuous period of time where the radio transceiver is not sending or receiving a call.

Field-Programming Enable .... (PC)

This feature is ENABLED as the Factory Default setting.

If Field-Programming is enabled, the radio can be field-programmed from a list pre-determined Table Frequencies, Interference Eliminator codes and other FP features.

If DISABLED, all features must be programmed using special Ritron PC Programming software and a computer.

Mode of Operation - A or B ..... (PC or FP)

A) Automatic Turn-Off Mode

Feature is ENABLED as Factory Default setting.

The speaker and the radio will turn OFF when the Reset Time has expired. The Reset Time is a pre-programmed amount of time of "inactivity" (no calls transmitted, no calls received) before the speaker and radio turns off. The speaker and radio are turned ON when the PTT button is pressed.

B) Intercom Mode

If Automatic Turn-Off is NOT enabled, the speaker and the radio are always on... i.e. Intercom mode. This mode allows the speaker to hear radio calls all the time.

Send A Call Tone .... (PC or FP)

Feature is ENABLED as Factory Default setting.

Choose from 2 call tones – Door Bell sound (Factory Default) or Ringing sound.

The radio can be programmed to transmit one of the two Call Tones upon the initial press of the PTT button. This will signal radio-equipped personnel that the call is originating from the DoorCom ^™ wireless intercom.

Send DoorCom™ Time-Out Tone ...... (PC or FP)

Feature is ENABLED as Factory Default setting.

A HI/Low double-tone alerts the visitor that the speaker has turned OFF. The same tone is transmitted to radio-equipped personnel to signal that the RDC-1 speaker is now off and internal radio communication can continue.

Manager Lock....(FP)

Factory Default setting is: "UNLOCKED".

When radio controls are "Locked", the operating channel and speaker volume settings cannot be changed.

Press the VOL Up AND VOL Dwn buttons simultaneously for 5 seconds. The display will show the current setting:

“U” = Unlocked “L” = Locked.

Repeat the above step to toggle between "U" and "L" condition.

Inactivity Reset Time ....(PC or FP)

Factory Default setting: 10 seconds.

The Reset Time can be Field-Programmed to 9 different times ranging from 5 seconds to 4 minutes, or PC programmed for 5 to 255 seconds. In Automatic Turn-Off mode a longer Reset Time will allow more time for a response before the speaker and the radio turn off.

Busy Channel TX Inhibit ....(PC or FP)

Feature is DISABLED as Factory Default setting.

With this feature enabled the radio cannot transmit when there is a received signal on the frequency. When a received signal is present and the PTT buton is pressed, a "busy signal" will be heard in the RDC-1 speaker.

Transmit Beep Enable.... (PC or FP)

Feature is ENABLED as Factory Default setting.

A short beep will sound in the RDC-1 speaker any time the PTT button is pressed. This indicates to the user that the intercom is ready to transmit their message.

RX Courtesy Beep Enable .... (PC or FP)

Feature is DISABLED as Factory Default setting.

In high noise environments it is sometimes difficult to determine when a received message has ended. With the RX Courtesy Beep enabled the radio will sound a short beep on the speaker at the end of each received transmission.

DTMF or Selcall ANI (PC or FP)

The radio can be programmed to send a 1-9 digit DTMF or Selcall ANI code at the beginning of each transmission. Allows Caller ID in only those radio systems equipped with DTMF or Selcall Decode.

TX Time Out Time (PC)

Factory Default setting is 60 seconds.

The TX Time Out Time can be programmed for 1-255 seconds. This sets the length of time the radio can transmit continuously. If the PTT button is held down longer then the TX Time Out Time, the radio will stop transmitting and a "Busy Signal" will be heard in the speaker until the button is released.

Custom Frequency Programming ..... (PC)

The radio can be PC programmed with Ritron R-Series software to operate on custom narrow band frequencies within the radios specific operating band. MURS model cannot be custom programmed to other frequencies.

RDC-1 SPEAKER INTERCOM BOX INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

If you intend to mount the metal RDC-1 speaker intercom box on an outside wall, it will be necessary to route the special connecting cable through a hole in the exterior wall.

To make the routing process easier and the required hole smaller, we suggest routing the end of the cable that contains the 3 spade lugs. You will need to spearate the front of the RDC-1 from the back and disconnect the three spade lugs from the screw terminals.

When ready to pass the cable through the hole, attach a "pull line" BELOW the crimp attachment point of the spade lugs and gently pull the cable through the hole (refer to Figure-3).

The RDC-1 Speaker Intercom Box can be secured to virtually any surface (INDOOR/OUTDOOR) using up to four (4) screws (not included).

Installation of RDC-1: (Refer to Figure-3)

1. Determine the method of securing the RDC-1.

a. Use the holes in the mounting tabs on the sides of the RDC-1.

b. OR Use the mounting holes located directly on the back of the RDC-1.

1. Determine the routing of the RDC-1 Cable.

a. Through the back of the RDC-1.

b. OR Through the bottom of the RDC-1.

1. Choose a size, type of screw thread and screw length which will hold firmly in the surface to which the unit will be mounted.

2. If required, drill the (2) holes to secure the RDC-1 into the wall mounting surface.

3. If required, drill the hole to route the RDC-1 Cable through the mounting surface. The hole must be large enough to pass the cable end containing the (3) spade lugs. We suggest a 0.5"(1/2")minimum diameter size hole.

4. Route the RDC-1 Cable through the drilled hole.

5. Using the included Torx bit, remove the (2) T-25 TORX screws securing the front and rear panels of the RDC-1.

6. Secure the rear panel of the RDC-1 to the mounting surface using the (2) screws selected in Step 3.

7. If routing RDC-1 Cable through the bottom of the rear panel, remove the conduit plug, install the require length of conduit, and route the RDC-1 Cable through the conduit into the RDC-1 box.

8. CAREFULLY re-connect the (3) spade lugs of the RDC-1 Cable to the (3) correct screw terminals located on the inside of the front panel.

Take care to match the name on the spade lug label to the same name printed near the screw terminal (refer to Figure-3).

1. Secure the RDC-1 Cable to the RDC-1 rear panel tab using the small cable tie (refer to Figure-3).

2. Place the RDC-1 front panel over the rear panel and secure with the (2) T-25 TORX screws.

3. You may want to consider routing the connecting cable through conduit and attaching the conduit to the RDC-1 (back or bottom hole). The hole size in the RDC-1 is 0.875"(7/8").

R-SERIES RADIO INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

The R-Series Radio can be placed INDOORS only, on any flat surface or secured to virtually any surface with the JBS-MMK Mounting Kit using only two (2) screws(not included). Observe CAUTIONS listed below when mounting.

Installation of the R-Series radio: (Refer to Figure-4)

If required, the RDC-1 Cable was routed in the previous instructions. The RDC-1 Cable end with the 2.5mm/3.5mm plug should be available for installation.

Determine the location for the R-Series radio. The length of the RDC-1 Cable is 20', the R-Series radio must be located within that distance from the RDC-1. The R-Series radio also requires 110VAC (see included RPS-1B power supply) or external 12VDC power supply within close proximity.

If using the JBS-MMK Mounting Kit, use the following instructions.

1. Choose a size, type of screw thread and screw length which will hold firmly in the surface to which the unit will be mounted.
2. If required, drill the (2) holes to secure the mounting bracket to the mounting surface.
3. Secure the mounting bracket to the mounting surface with the screws selected in Step 1.
4. Using the (2) screws, (2) rubber washers, nylon cable clamp, and (2) small cable ties provided in the mounting kit, secure the R-Series radio to the mounting bracket as shown in Figure-4.
5. Attach AFB-1545 antenna to the antenna connector and place antenna in the VERTICAL position. If greater coverage is required, use the remote mount Ritron remote mount magnetic mount antenna RAM-1545.
6. Plug the RPS-1B power supply into the 110VAC wall socket, and plug the other end into the DC Power Connector located on the top of the R-Series radio. The radio will automatically power-up.
7. Plug the 2.5/3.5mm plug of the connecting cable attached to the RDC-1 into the 2.5/3.5mm jack on the bottom of the R-Series Transceiver.
8. If required, program the radio. Refer to the programming section of this manual for details.
9. Select the correct channel with the Channel Button and set the correct audio level with the Volume Buttons.

The R-Series Transceiver can be powered as follows:

• (INDOOR USE ONLY) Use only the included RPS-1B 110VAC AC adapter to power the radio transceiver.

CAUTIONS

- Antenna MUST be connected to radio BEFORE transmitting.

- Position antenna in VERTICAL position.

- Keep antenna AWAY from all metal objects and power lines. Maintain at least 3ft of clearance on all sides.

- DO NOT route AC cord along-side or near the antenna.

- Route power and AC Cord AWAY from Radio.

•

Two black electronic device units with attached cables, one labeled 'A-Strive Bus Protocol' and the other 'FETRON' (no visible text or symbols on the devices themselves)

Figure-4: R-Series Radio Installation

INITIATING A CALL (Default is Automatic Turn-Off)

• Press and HOLD the PTT button to talk.
  A unique Call Tone will be sent to radio-equipped personnel when the PTT button is pressed. The Call Tone is also heard on the speaker at the RDC-1.
• Begin speaking after the beep.
  The caller should be 3 feet or less from the microphone.
• Release PTT button to listen.

RECEIVING A CALL

- Any return call from a radio will then be heard on the RDC-1 speaker.

NOTES:

• If a return call is not received within 10 seconds of releasing the PTT button AND, there is no additional radio activity on the channel (the Inactivity Rest Time Default is 10 seconds), the speaker on the RDC-1 will sound a hi/low double-tone and then the speaker will turn off automatically.
• If ENABLED (DoorCom ^TM Time-Out Tone), the same distinct tones will be transmitted to radio-equipped personnel to signal that the speaker has turned off and internal communications can continue.
• No calls from radio-equipped personnel will be heard on the RDC-1 speaker. Pressing the PTT button on the RDC-1 again will turn the speaker on and will resend the Call Tone.

The Automatic Turn-Off feature is designed to prevent eavesdropping at the RDC-1 speaker.

System Range and Coverage

The typical range of the DoorCom ^™ system is defined as: 1 floor, 350,000sq. ft.. Coverage depends on building structure and/or surrounding typography. Concrete walls, steel, metal shelving, racks, etc. can further reduce your coverage.

Site Survey: Before permanently installing the DoorCom ^™ system, we recommend that you conduct a site survey to determine the actual radio coverage in your facility.

1. You will need two people to conduct the site survey: One person to operate the DoorCom™ system, the other person to walk the facility with a compatible portable 2-way radio.
2. Temporarily position the DoorCom ^™ system in or near the location it will be mounted. Note: Locating the radio transceiver with antenna as close as possible to the desired mounting location is critical to an accurate site survey.
3. Apply power to the DoorCom ^™ system and initiate a call to the other 2-way radio. Continue the conversation while the person with the portable radio moves to a variety of locations in the facility.
4. If you are unable to achieve the desired coverage:

A. Try mounting the radio with the included antenna slightly higher. Keep in mind the included connecting cable that connects the radio to the external speaker intercom box is only 20ft in length.
B. If this is not successful, we offer the optional RAM-1545 magnetic mount antenna with a 25ft cable. This will allow you to locate the antenna separately from the radio.

RADIO ALERT TONES

The radio responds to certain instructions by sounding a beep or series of tones. These tones can tell you that the radio is working as you expect.

Power on/Self Check "OK"

When power is applied to the radio, the radio will run a quick "self test" to confirm basic functions. When complete the radio will sound the Channel Beep and the Channel Display will show the operating channel. The radio is now ready for use.

Transmit Time-Out Timer – (Default is 60 seconds)

If the PTT is pressed longer than the programmed Transmit Time Out Timer time period, a low-tone followed by a higher-pitched tone sounds and the transmitter automatically shuts off.

Call Tone, DTMF or Selcall Sidetone

If the radio is programmed to transmit a Call Tone, DTMF ANI or Selcall ANI the tones will be heard on the radio RDC-1 speaker.

OPTIONAL PROGRAMMABLE RADIO ALERT TONES

DoorCom™ Time-Out Tone – Default is Enabled (PC or Field Programmable)

If ENABLED, a distinct hi/low double-tone will be heard on the speaker of the receiving portable radios. This tone alerts radio-equipped staff that the DoorCom™ speaker has turned OFF and internal communication can now continue.

Courtesy Beep – Default is Not Enabled (PC or Field Programmable)

At the end of each received transmission, a short tone will sound only on the RDC-1 speaker. This indicates that the channel is clear and you may now transmit.

Busy Channel TX Inhibit – Default is Not Enabled (PC or Field Programmable)

When the PTT is pressed and another radio is simultaneously transmitting on your radio frequency without your tone, the radio will beep a series of long, low tones (like a telephone busy signal) and you will not be allowed to transmit.

Transmit Clear To Talk Beep – Default is Not Enabled (PC or Field Programmable)

After the PTT has been pressed a short tone sounds on the RDC-1 speaker. This indicates that the radio is ready for you to begin talking.

EXPOSURE TO RADIO FREQUENCY ENERGY

These products generate radio frequency (RF) energy when the PTT button on the front of the unit is depressed. The product has been evaluated for compliance with the maximum permissible exposure limits for RF energy at the maximum power rating of the unit when using antennas available from RITRON. Antennas other than those mentioned below have not been tested for compliance and may or may not meet the exposure limits at the distances given. Higher gain antennas are capable of generating higher fields in the strongest part of their field and would, therefore, require a greater separation from the antenna.

R-147, R-147M, R-147-CANADA: Using the AFB-1545 antenna included with the product at the 20 cm (7.9 inches) minimum expected separation distance and greater, the maximum RF exposure is well below the General Population/Uncontrolled limits. Antennas other than those available from RITRON have not been tested for compliance and may or may not meet the exposure limits at the distances given. Higher gain antennas are capable of generating higher fields in the strongest part of their field and would, therefore, require a greater separation from the antenna. This product is not to be used by the general public in an uncontrolled environment unless compliance with the Uncontrolled/General Population limits for RF exposure can be assured.

R-447, R-447-CANADA: Using the AFB-1545 antenna included with the product at the 20 cm (7.9 inches) minimum expected separation distance and greater, the maximum RF exposure is well below the General Population/Uncontrolled limits. Antennas other than those available from RITRON have not been tested for compliance and may or may not meet the exposure limits at the distances given. Higher gain antennas are capable of generating higher fields in the strongest part of their field and would, therefore, require a greater separation from the antenna. This product is not to be used by the general public in an uncontrolled environment unless compliance with the Uncontrolled/General Population limits for RF exposure can be assured.

To limit exposure to RF energy to levels below the limit, please observe the following:

• Use only the antenna(s) available from RITRON for these models. DO NOT operate the radio without an antenna.
• DO NOT activate the transmitter when not actually wishing to transmit.
• When transmitting, make certain that the distance limits for the particular model in use are observed.
  • DO NOT allow children to operate the radio.

When used as directed, this series of radios is designed to comply with the IC's RF exposure limits for "Uncontrolled/General Population". In addition, they are designed to comply with the following Standards and Guidelines:

All Ritron Base Radios are FCC certified for narrowband operation, so the only change required is the elimination of wideband operation.

To meet the FCC narrowband mandate by Jan 1, 2013, Ritron will initiate the transition process of manufacturing narrowband only compliant radio equipment beginning July 1, 2012. After that date, customer orders will begin to be filled with radios manufactured for FCC narrowband compliance, with no provisions for wideband operation except where allowed by FCC rule. These radios will be clearly marked as “FCC Narrowband Compliant”. The narrowband manufacturing process will proceed gradually on a model by model basis, with all models narrowband compliant by the January 1, 2013 deadline.

OBSERVE CAUTION IN THE FOLLOWING ENVIRONMENTS TO MAXIMIZE THE LIFE OF YOUR RADIO EQUIPMENT

LOCATION: Be aware that this radio and / or antenna may create interference with, or be interfered with, by nearby electronic equipment such as computers, monitors, keyboards, electronic telephones and other sensitive devices. Either move the equipment or use a remote antenna to separate components sufficiently to stop or reduce interference.

MOISTURE: Ritron base radios are not waterproof. DO NOT directly expose them to rain or excessive moisture.

CHEMICALS: Detergents, alcohol, aerosol sprays or petroleum products can damage the radio case. DO NOT use petroleum solvents of any kind; use a soft cloth moistened with water to clean the case.

EXTREME HEAT: High temperatures can damage the radio and its components. DO NOT expose the units to extreme heat or leave them in direct sunlight.

EXCESSIVE TRANSMISSIONS: DO NOT hold the Push-To-Talk switch down longer than necessary during transmission intervals.

VIBRATION / SHOCK: Although your Ritron base radio is designed to be rugged, it will not survive excessive abuse. Avoid dropping the radio.

RDC-Series DoorCom™ Wireless Intercom Licensing

FCC LICENSING

Except for the five (5) MURS frequencies listed on page 7, the FCC requires the owners of radios operating on these frequencies to obtain a station license before using them.

The station licensee is responsible for ensuring that transmitter power, frequency and deviation are within the limits specified by the station license. The station licensee is also responsible for proper operation and maintenance of the radio equipment. This includes checking the transmitter frequency and deviation periodically, using appropriate methods.

To get an FCC license for VHF or UHF frequencies, submit FCC application Form 601. Your Ritron dealer can help you with this process.

HOW TO OBTAIN AN FCC RADIO LICENSE

Because your Ritron radio operates on Private Land Mobile frequencies, it is subject to the Rules and Regulations of the FCC, which requires all operators of these frequencies to obtain a station license before operating their equipment. Make application for your FCC license on FCC Forms 601, Schedules D and H, and Fee Remittance Form 159.

To have forms and instructions faxed to you by the FCC, call the FCC Fax-On-Demand system at 202-418-0177 from your fax machine; request Document numbers 3000159, 3060001, 3060003, and 3060006.

To have Document numbers 3000159, 3060001, 3060003, and 3060006 mailed to you, call the FCC Forms Hotline at 800-418-FORM (800-418-3676).

For help with questions concerning the license application, contact the FCC at 888-CALL-FCC (888-225-5322) or log on at www.fcc.gov

SAFETY STANDARDS

The FCC (with its action in General Docket 79-144, March 13, 1985) has adopted a safety standard for human exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC regulated equipment. Ritron observes these guidelines and recommends that you do also:

• DO NOT hold the radio so that the antenna is very close to or touching exposed parts of the body, especially the face or eyes, while transmitting. Keep the radio vertical, eight inches away while talking into the front panel.
• DO NOT press the Push-To-Talk except when you intend to transmit.
• DO NOT operate radio equipment near electrical blasting caps or in an explosive atmosphere.
• DO NOT allow children to play with any radio equipment that contains a transmitting device.
• Repair of Ritron products should be performed only by Ritron authorized personnel.

SERVICE

Federal law prohibits you from making any internal adjustments to the transmitter, and / or from changing transmit frequencies unless you are specifically designated by the licensee.

If your radio equipment fails to operate properly, or you wish to have the radio programmed, contact your local authorized dealer or Ritron.
