Intrinsically Safe Radio Information

2.1 FMRC Approved Equipment Anyone intending to use a radio in a location where hazardous concentrations of flammable material exist (hazardous atmosphere) is advised to become familiar with the subject of intrinsic safety and with the National Electric Code NFPA 70 (National Fire Protection Association) Article 500 (hazardous [classified] locations). An Approval Guide, issued by Factory Mutual Research Corporation (FMRC), lists manufacturers and the products approved by FMRC for use in such locations. FMRC has also issued a voluntary approval standard for repair service (“Class Number 3605”). FMRC Approval labels are attached to the radio to identify the unit as being FM Approved for specified hazardous atmospheres. This label specifies the hazardous Class/Division/Group along with the part number of the battery that must be used. Depending on the design of the portable unit, this FM label can be found on the back or the bottom of the radio housing. The FM Approval mark is shown below: Radios must ship from the Motorola manufacturing facility with the hazardous atmosphere capability and FM Approval labeling. Radios will not be “upgraded” to this capability and labeled in the field. WARNING: Do not operate radio communications equipment in a hazardous atmosphere unless it is a type especially qualified for such use (e.g., FMRC Approved). An explosion or fire may result. WARNING: Do not operate an FMRC Approved Product in a hazardous atmosphere if it has been physically damaged (e.g., cracked housing). An explosion or fire may result. WARNING: Do not replace or charge batteries in a hazardous atmosphere. Contact spark- ing may occur while installing or removing batteries and cause an explosion or fire. WARNING: Do not replace or change accessories in a hazardous atmosphere. Contact sparking may occur while installing or removing accessories and cause an explosion or fire. WARNING: Do not operate an FMRC Approved Product unit in a hazardous location with the accessory contacts exposed. Keep the connector cover in place when accessories are not used. WARNING: Turn a radio off before removing or installing a battery or accessory. WARNING: Do not disassemble an FMRC Approved Product unit in any way that exposes the internal electrical circuits of the unit. FM APPROVED ! W A R N I N G !

Repair of FMRC Approved Products

A modification changes the unit’s hardware from its original design configuration. Modifications can only be made by the original product manufacturer at one of its FMRC-audited manufacturing facilities. Unauthorized or incorrect modification of an FMRC Approved Product unit will negate the Approval rating of the product. 2.2 Repair of FMRC Approved Products REPAIRS FOR MOTOROLA PRODUCTS WITH FMRC APPROVAL ARE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE USER. You should not repair or relabel any Motorola- manufactured communication equipment bearing the FMRC Approval label (“FMRC Approved Product”) unless you are familiar with the current FMRC Approval standard for repairs and service (“Class Number 3605”). You may want to consider using a repair facility that operates under 3605 repair service approval. FMRC’s Approval Standard Class Number 3605 is subject to change at any time without notice to you, so you may want to obtain a current copy of 3605 from FMRC. Per the December 1994 publication of 3605, some key definitions and service requirements are as follows: 2.2.1 Repair A repair constitutes something done internally to the unit that would bring it back to its original condition—Approved by FMRC. A repair should be done in an FMRC Approved facility. Items not considered as repairs are those in which an action is performed on a unit which does not require the outer casing of the unit to be opened in a manner which exposes the internal electrical circuits of the unit. You do not have to be an FMRC Approved Repair Facility to perform these actions. 2.2.2 Relabeling The repair facility shall have a method by which the replacement of FMRC Approval labels are controlled to ensure that any relabeling is limited to units that were originally shipped from the Manufacturer with an FM Approval label in place. FMRC Approval labels shall not be stocked by the repair facility. An FMRC Approval label shall be ordered from the original manufacturer as needed to repair a specific unit. Replacement labels may be obtained and applied by the repair facility providing satisfactory evidence that the unit being relabeled was originally an FMRC Approved unit. Verification may include, but is not limited to: a unit with a damaged Approval label, a unit with a defective housing displaying an Approval label, or a customer invoice indicating the serial number of the unit and purchase of an FMRC Approved model. WARNING: Failure to use an FMRC Approved Product unit with an FMRC Approved battery or FMRC Approved accessories specifically approved for that product may result in the dangerously unsafe condition of an unapproved radio combination being used in a hazard- ous location. WARNING: Incorrect repair or relabeling of any FMRC Approved Product unit could adversely affect the Approval rating of the unit. WARNING: Use of a radio that is not intrinsically safe in a hazardous atmosphere could result in serious injury or death. ! W A R N I N G ! ! W A R N I N G !

Repair of FMRC Approved Products

2-3 2.2.3 Do Not Substitute Options or Accessories The Motorola communications equipment certified by Factory Mutual is tested as a system and consists of the FM Approved portable, FM Approved battery, and FM Approved accessories or options, or both. This FM Approved portable and battery combination must be strictly observed. There must be no substitution of items, even if the substitute has been previously Approved with a different Motorola communications equipment unit. Approved configurations are listed in the FM Approval Guide published by FMRC, or in the product FM Supplement. This FM Supplement is shipped from the manufacturer with the FM Approved radio and battery combination. The Approval Guide, or the Approval Standard Class Number 3605 document for repairs and service, can be ordered directly from Factory Mutual Research Corporation located in Norwood, Massachusetts, USA.

This chapter provides details about the following:

• Preventive maintenance (inspection and cleaning) • Safe handling of CMOS and LDMOS devices • Disassembly and reassembly of the radio • Repair procedures and techniques 3.2 Preventive Maintenance The radios do not require a scheduled preventive maintenance program; however, periodic visual inspection and cleaning is recommended. 3.2.1 Inspection Check that the external surfaces of the radio are clean, and that all external controls and switches are functional. It is not recommended to inspect the interior electronic circuitry. 3.2.2 Cleaning Procedures The following procedures describe the recommended cleaning agents and the methods to be used when cleaning the external and internal surfaces of the radio. External surfaces include the front cover, housing assembly and battery case. These surfaces should be cleaned whenever a periodic visual inspection reveals the presence of smudges, grease, and/or grime. The only recommended agent for cleaning the external radio surfaces is a 0.5% solution of a mild dishwashing detergent in water. The only factory recommended liquid for cleaning the printed circuit boards and their components is isopropyl alcohol (70% by volume). Cleaning External Plastic Surfaces Apply the 0.5% detergent-water solution sparingly with a stiff, non-metallic, short-bristled brush to work all loose dirt away from the radio. Use a soft, absorbent, lintless cloth or tissue to remove the solution and dry the radio. Make sure that no water remains entrapped near the connectors, cracks, or crevices. NOTE Internal surfaces should be cleaned only when the radio is disassembled for service or repair. CAUTION: The effects of certain chemicals and their vapors can have harmful results on certain plastics. Avoid using aerosol sprays, tuner cleaners, and other chemicals. !

Safe Handling of CMOS and LDMOS Devices

Cleaning Internal Circuit Boards and Components Isopropyl alcohol (70%) may be applied with a stiff, non-metallic, short-bristled brush to dislodge embedded or caked materials located in hard-to-reach areas. The brush stroke should direct the dislodged material out and away from the inside of the radio. Make sure that controls or tunable components are not soaked with alcohol. Do not use high-pressure air to hasten the drying process since this could cause the liquid to collect in unwanted places. After completing of the cleaning process, use a soft, absorbent, lintless cloth to dry the area. Do not brush or apply any isopropyl alcohol to the frame, front cover, or back cover. 3.3 Safe Handling of CMOS and LDMOS Devices Complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) devices are used in this family of radios, and are susceptible to damage by electrostatic or high voltage charges. Damage can be latent, resulting in failures occurring weeks or months later. Therefore, special precautions must be taken to prevent device damage during disassembly, troubleshooting, and repair. Handling precautions are mandatory for CMOS circuits and are especially important in low humidity conditions. DO NOT attempt to disassemble the radio without first referring to the following CAUTION statement. NOTE Always use a fresh supply of alcohol and a clean container to prevent contamination by dissolved material (from previous usage). CAUTION: This radio contains static-sensitive devices. Do not open the radio unless you are properly grounded. Take the following precautions when working on this unit: • Store and transport all CMOS devices in conductive material so that all exposed leads are shorted together. Do not insert CMOS devices into con- ventional plastic “snow” trays used for storage and transportation of other semiconductor devices. • Ground the working surface of the service bench to protect the CMOS device. We recommend using the Motorola Static Protection Assembly (part number 0180386A82), which includes a wrist strap, two ground cords, a table mat, and a floor mat. • Wear a conductive wrist strap in series with a 100k resistor to ground. (Replacement wrist straps that connect to the bench top covering are Motor- ola part number RSX-4015.) • Do not wear nylon clothing while handling CMOS devices. • Do not insert or remove CMOS devices with power applied. Check all power supplies used for testing CMOS devices to be certain that there are no volt- age transients present. • When straightening CMOS pins, provide ground straps for the apparatus used. • When soldering, use a grounded soldering iron. • If at all possible, handle CMOS devices by the package and not by the leads. Prior to touching the unit, touch an electrical ground to remove any static charge that you may have accumulated. The package and substrate may be electrically common. If so, the reaction of a discharge to the case would cause the same damage as touching the leads. !

Repair Procedures and Techniques — General

3-3 3.4 Repair Procedures and Techniques — General Parts Replacement and Substitution When damaged parts are replaced, identical parts should be used. If the identical replacement part is not locally available, check the parts list for the proper Motorola part number and order the part from the nearest Motorola Communications parts center listed in section 1.2.3 on page 1-2 of this manual. Rigid Circuit Boards This family of radios uses bonded, multi-layer, printed circuit boards. Since the inner layers are not accessible, some special considerations are required when soldering and unsoldering components. The printed-through holes may interconnect multiple layers of the printed circuit. Therefore, exercise care to avoid pulling the plated circuit out of the hole. When soldering near the 20-pin and 40-pin connectors: • Avoid accidentally getting solder in the connector. • Be careful not to form solder bridges between the connector pins. • Examine your work closely for shorts due to solder bridges. Flexible Circuits The flexible circuits are made from a different material than the rigid boards, and require different soldering techniques. Excessive prolonged heat on a flexible circuit can damage the material. Therefore, avoid excessive heat and excessive bending. For parts replacement, use the ST-1087 Temperature-Controlled Solder Station with a 600-700 degree F tip, and use small diameter solder such as ST-633. The smaller size solder will melt faster and require less heat to be applied to the circuit. To replace a component on a flexible circuit: 1. Grasp with seizers (hemostats) the edge of the flexible circuit near the part to be removed. 2. Pull gently. 3. Apply the tip of the soldering iron to the component connections while pulling with the seizers. Chip Components Use either the RLN-4062 Hot-Air Repair Station or the Motorola 0180381B45 Repair Station for chip component replacement. When using the 0180381B45 Repair Station, select the TJ-65 mini- thermojet hand piece. On either unit, adjust the temperature control to 700 degrees F. (370 degrees C), and adjust the airflow to a minimum setting. Airflow can vary due to component density. • To remove a chip component, select a hot-air hand piece and position the nozzle of the hand piece approximately 1/8” above the component to be removed. Begin applying the hot air. Once the solder reflows, remove the component using a pair of tweezers. Using solder wick and a soldering iron or a power desoldering station, remove the excess solder from the pads. • To replace a chip component using a soldering iron, select the appropriate micro-tipped soldering iron and apply fresh solder to one of the solder pads. Using a pair of tweezers, position the new chip component in place while heating the fresh solder. Once solder wicks onto the new component, remove the heat from the solder. Heat the remaining pad with the soldering iron and apply solder until it wicks to the component. If necessary, touch up the first side. All solder joints should be smooth and shiny. NOTE Do not attempt to puddle-out components. Prolonged application of heat may damage the flexible circuit.

Disassembling and Reassembling the Radio — General

• To replace a chip component using hot air, select the hot-air hand piece and reflow the solder on the solder pads to smooth it. Apply a drop of solder paste flux to each pad. using a pair of tweezers, position the new component in place. Position the hot-air hand piece approximately 1/ 8” above the component and begin applying heat. Once the solder wicks to the component, remove the heat and inspect the repair. All joints should be smooth and shiny. Shields Removing and replacing shields will be done with the R-1070 station with the temperature control set to approximately 415°F (215°C); 445°F (230°C) max. • To remove the shield, place the circuit board in the R-1070’s holder. Select the proper heat focus head and attach it to the heater chimney. Add solder paste flux around the base of the shield. Position the shield under the heat-focus head. Lower the vacuum tip and attach it to the shield by turning on the vacuum pump. Lower the focus head until it is approximately 1/8” (0.3cm) above the shield. Turn on the heater and wait until the shield lifts off the circuit board. Once the shield is off, turn off the heat, grab the part with a pair of tweezers, and turn off the vacuum pump. Remove the circuit board from the R-1070’s circuit board holder. • To replace the shield, add solder to the shield if necessary, using a micro-tipped soldering iron. Next, rub the soldering iron tip along the edge of the shield to smooth out any excess solder. Use solder wick and a soldering iron to remove excess solder from the solder pads on the circuit board. Place the circuit board back in the R1070’s circuit board holder. Place the shield on the circuit board using a pair of tweezers. Position the heat-focus head over the shield and lower it to approximately 1/8” above the shield. Turn on the heater and wait for the solder to reflow. Once complete, turn off the heat, raise the heat-focus head and wait approximately one minute for the part to cool. Remove the circuit board and inspect the repair. No cleaning should be necessary. 3.5 Disassembling and Reassembling the Radio — General Since these radios may be disassembled and reassembled with the use of only four (board to casting) screws, it is important to pay particular attention to the snaps and tabs, and how parts align with each other. The following tools are required for disassembling the radio: • Chassis opener • Flat bladed screwdriver • Philips head screwdriver If a unit requires more complete testing or service than is customarily performed at the basic level, send this unit to a Motorola Authorized Service Center. (See Chapter 1 for a list of authorized service centers.) The following disassembly procedures should be performed only if necessary: • Chassis Assembly and Disassembly • Speaker, Microphone, and Universal Connector Flex Disassembly • Controller Board Disassembly • Control Top Disassembly

Transceiver Performance Testing

4.1 Introduction These radios have been manufactured to meet published specifications through their manufacturing process, with the use of laboratory-quality test equipment of highest accuracy. The recommended field service equipment approaches the accuracy of the manufacturing equipment with a few exceptions. Accuracy of the equipment must be maintained in compliance with the manufacturer’s recommended calibration schedule. 4.2 Setup Supply voltage can be connected from the battery eliminator. The equipment required for alignment procedures is connected as shown in the Radio Tuning diagram (Figure 5-1 on page 5-2). Initial equipment control settings should be as indicated in the following table and should hold for all alignment procedures except as noted in Table 4-1. Table 4-1 Initial Equipment Control Settings Service Monitor Test Set Power Supply Monitor Mode: Power Monitor Spkr set: A Voltage: 7.5Vdc RF Attn: -70 Spkr/load: Speaker DC on/standby: Standby AM, CW, FM: FM PTT: OFF Volt Range: 10V O’scope Source: Mod O’scope Horiz: 10mSec/Div O’scope Vert: 2.5kHz/Div O’scope Trig: Auto Monitor Image: Hi Monitor BW: Nar Monitor Squelch: mid CW Monitor Vol: 1/4 CW Current: 2.5A

4.3.1 RF Test Mode

When the radio is operating in its normal environment, the radio’s microcontroller controls the RF channel selection, transmitter key-up, and receiver muting. However, when the unit is on the bench for testing, alignment or repair, it is removed from its normal environment. It cannot receive commands from its system and, therefore, the internal microcontroller will not key the transmitter nor unmute the receiver. This prevents the use of normal tune-up procedures. To solve this problem, a special routine called TEST MODE or “air test,” has been incorporated in the radio. To enter Test Mode: 1. Turn the radio on. 2. Within 10 seconds after the self test is complete, press side button 2, (SB2) five times in succession. 3. Press SB2 again to scroll through to the next channel spacing and so on. You will also hear a corresponding set of tones. 4. Press SB1 to scroll through and access test environments as shown in Table 4-2 below. 5. Press SB2 for 3 seconds in the Control Head Test mode to return to RF Test mode. NOTE To access all 14 test modes on a 4-channel radio, the frequency knob and mechanical stop sleeve must be removed (see Exploded View diagrams in section 3.11 beginning on page 3- 20).

5.1 Introduction This chapter provides an overview of the Customer Programming Software (CPS) and Universal Tuner which have been designed for use in a Windows 95/98/NT/2000 environment. Both these software will cover all the functions of a traditional Radio Service Software (RSS) package. They are available in separate kits as shown below: Each kit contains an Installation instruction manual. 5.2 Radio Tuning Setup To tune the radio, you will need a Windows 95/98/NT/2000 PC (personal computer) and a Universal Tuner. To perform the tuning procedures, the radio must be connected to the PC, RIB (Radio Interface Box) and Universal Test Set as shown in Figure 5-1. The Tuner for Version R02.03.0 or higher provides the capability for Temperature Compensation Data Programming as well as online instructional help text. To read the Temperature Compensation Data: 1. From the Menu, select Utilities and then select Temp Comp Data Read. 2. The values read are displayed. To program the Temperature Compensation Data: 1. From the Menu, select Utilities and then select Temp Comp Data Write. 2. Enter the values you want to be programmed.

Cloning is the process of copying the content of one radio (source radio) into another radio (target

radio). Radio content refers to system-type features such as frequency, squelch type options, trunking, etc. Cloning can be performed only on radios with identical model numbers and software options. Radio functionality inherent in one radio cannot be cloned to another radio that does not contain the same functionality. Tuning and alignment information are not transferable and are not affected by cloning. Signaling Identification Numbers (IDs) are duplicated in the cloning process. Unique IDs may be assigned with the CPS. Unsuccessful cloning attempts will not damage the radio. Cloning Procedure: 1. Turn source and target radios off. 2. Connect cloning cable to side connector of both radios. 3. Turn on target radio. 4. On source radio, simultaneously press side buttons 1 and 2 (buttons above and directly below PTT); then turn radio on. Both radios will produce a “clone-entry” tone and their green LEDs will light up. 5. Release both side buttons. The electronic transfer process begins and will take approximately 1 to 3 minutes. 6. When cloning is completed, the radios will be reset and their green LEDs will turn off. The source radio produces a “clone-exit” tone. 7. Turn both radios off. 8. Disconnect the cloning cable from both radios and turn them on for normal operation.

Power Up Self-Test

6.1 Error Codes To start the radio’s self-test routine, turn the radio on using the ON/OFF volume control button. The self-test routine checks the RAM, ROM checksum, EEPROM hardware and EEPROM checksum. If these checks are successfully completed, the radio will generate the Self-Test Pass Tone. If the radio fails the self-test, it will emit a low-pitch tone. Error Code Explanation Corrective Action “RAM TST ERROR” RAM Test Failure Retest the radio by turning it off and turning it on again. If the message reoccurs, replace the main board or send the radio to nearest Motorola Depot. “ROM CS ERROR” ROM Checksum is wrong. Reprogram FLASH Memory, then retest. If the message recurs, replace the main board or send the radio to the nearest Motorola Depot. “EEPRM HW ERROR” Codeplug structure mismatch, non existence of codeplug. Reprogram the codeplug with the correct version and retest the radio. If the message recurs, replace the main board or send the radio to the nearest Motorola Depot. “EEPRM CS ERROR” Codeplug checksum is wrong. Reprogram the codeplug. No Display Display module is not connected properly. Display module is damaged. Check the connection between the main board and the display module. Replace with a new display module.
