SECTION 1INTRODUCTION

This manual contains detailed information required to configure, program, andoperate transceiver systems based on the Wulfsberg C-5000 CommunicationsManagement Controller (CMC).

Using This Manual

The information contained in this manual is comprehensive in scope, and coversevery aspect of using the C-5000. It is designed to be used as a learning tool fornovices and as a reference for experienced users. It is NOT intended to be readthrough from start to finish. You should use it to learn the basics of operatingthe system, then read only those parts that you need, when you need them.

The following paragraphs give an overview of the contents of this manual, givesuggestions about the appropriate audience for each section, and list additionalWulfsberg documentation for the C-5000.

CONTENTS

This manual is divided into the following sections:

• Section 1, Introduction (this section), contains an overview of thecontents of this manual, the intended audience, and references to relateddocuments. It also provides an overview of the components of C-5000-based transceiver systems.

• Section 2, Getting Started, contains the basic instructions for operatingthe C-5000. It describes the C-5000 controls, and introduces themessages, prompts, and other information you find on the display duringsystem operation. It also contains instructions for performing basicoperations, such as turning the system ON and OFF, adjusting thevolume, etc.

• Section 3, Operating the C-5000 CMC in Normal Mode, containsinformation and procedures you use to operate the C-5000 in normalreceive/transmit mode. It provides an overview and detailed instructionsand procedures for operating the system from each of the seven Displaypages. It also includes procedures for several other operations youperform in normal operating mode, such as manual frequency tuning.

• Section 4, Operating the C-5000 CMC in Enhanced Modes, containsinformation and procedures you use to operate the C-5000 in theenhanced operating modes (Relay mode, Simulcast mode, Relay-Simulcast mode, Repeater mode, and Full Duplex mode). A system mustinclude two or more transceivers to be able to operate in the enhancedmodes.


Manual Number 150-1352-000 Page 1-2 01 Feb 01Revision C


• Section 5, Operating the C-5000 CMC in Scan Mode, containsinstructions for using the C-5000 scan feature. It explains how to accessscan mode, select a programmed scan group, temporarily delete scanchannels from a scan group, and exit scan mode.

• Section 6, Configuring the C-5000 CMC, contains the information andprocedures you use to configure the C-5000 after the mechanical andelectrical installation of the system has been completed. Duringconfiguration, you are prompted to enter information about each of theRT systems installed in your system, as well as information about anumber of optional items.

• Section 7, Programming Presets, contains the instructions and proceduresfor programming preset channels and organizing preset channels into scangroups. It explains how you assign Alphanumeric IDs to make it easier toidentify preset channels and scan groups.

• Appendix A, Subaudible Tone Codes, contains tables listing the C-5000CTCSS tone codes, Burst tones, and DCS tone codes.

• Appendix B, Wulfsberg Transceiver Frequency Bands, lists the frequencybands and ranges of all Wulfsberg transceivers used in C-5000-basedsystems.

AUDIENCE

This manual is intended for two types of users:

• Operators – pilots or other crew members who use the system tocommunicate with other radio-equipped units and locations.

• Installers – technicians who configure the system and program the presetchannels and scan groups.

It does not assume any prior experience with the C-5000 or any other Wulfsbergproduct.

C-5000-Based Transceiver System Overview

The Wulfsberg C-5000 CMC is a microprocessor-based control head device thatallows you to manage, monitor, and transmit over up to three RT systemsindependently. The C-5000’s processor board has three card slots. By installingthe appropriate RT interface boards in these slots, the C-5000 can be configured forFLEXCOMM II transceivers, FLEXCOMM I transceivers, FLITECOMMtransceivers, or a combination of these. Serial RT boards are used to interface withFLEXCOMM II and FLITECOMM systems, and support one transceiver; parallelRT boards are used to interface with FLEXCOMM I systems, and support up tothree transceivers (see Figure 1-1).

FLEXCOMM II transceiver installations include the RT-5000 transceiver.FLEXCOMM I installations can include RT-30, RT-138F, and RT-406F currentproduction transceivers. They can also include RT-118, RT-138, and RT-450transceivers, which are no longer manufactured but remain in wide use. Inaddition, C-5000-based systems can include FLITECOMM (RT-7200, RT-9600,and RT-9600F) transceivers, which are also out of production. Hybridinstallations can include combinations of any of these. Figure 1-1 illustrates thepossible combinations of transceiver types.

The Guard Receiver option allows the operator to continuously monitor one or twochannels in addition to the Main RT channels without requiring another completeradio or pseudo-scanning process.

The FLEXCOMM II RT-5000 is available with an optional Guard Receiver, whichcan be specified as a single channel crystal guard (available in three frequencyranges) or a synthesized 29.7 – 960 MHz receiver. RT-5000’s are equipped withCTCSS and DCS tones on both the Main and Guard Receivers. RT-5000’sequipped with synthesized Guard Receivers can be programmed for two Guardchannels.




FLEXCOMM I transceivers can be specified with a crystal-controlled single-channel Guard Receiver plug-in module that operates on one customer-specifiedfrequency (refer to the FLEXCOMM I Installation Manual, Manual Number150-040011). An optional Guard Receiver CTCSS decoder with programmableGuard Receiver tone can also be specified.

FLITECOMM transceivers are currently out of production, but remain in wideuse. They were available with crystal-controlled two-channel Guard Receivermodules. They could be user-specified for any Guard frequency between138.000 and 173.9950 MHz (RT-7200) or between 150.000 and 173.9975 MHz(RT-9600/9600F). They are equipped with CTCSS tones on both the Main andGuard Receivers. Models equipped with Guard Receivers can be programmedfor two Guard channels; however, those with the VP (Voice Protection)interface option are limited to one Guard channel.

PRESET CHANNEL PROGRAMMING

The C-5000 has expanded memory that can support up to 350 preset channels, plusthree channels for manual frequency selection (one per RT system). In addition, theC-5000 is available with one or two optional Guard Receiver channels. Eachchannel can be configured for independent transmit and receive frequencies, andsubaudible tones (CTCSS, DCS, Burst). In addition to a frequency and a channelnumber, each channel can be assigned an Alphanumeric ID of up to eight charactersto make it easier for the operator to identify channels.

DUAL MIC OPERATION

The C-5000 features two independent microphone inputs and audio outputs thatallow two operators using a single control head to transmit and receive onseparate RT systems simultaneously. This mode of operation is called dual mic

The C-5000 has two dual mic operating modes: Dual Mic Normal mode andDual Mic Optimized Mode. You can also disable the dual mic feature.

Dual Mic Normal mode does not change the standard user interface. You canselect it if your C-5000 transceiver system is configured for either two or threeRT systems.

Dual Mic Optimized mode simplifies operation of C-5000-based systems thatare configured for two RT systems. When you select this mode, the C-5000automatically assigns the primary mic to RT System #1 and the secondary micto RT System #2. RT System #1 always appears on the top line of the display,and RT System #2 is always on the bottom line. In addition, the user interfacehas only two Display pages, and the volume of each RT system can be adjustedindependently.

For more information, refer to Enabling/Disabling Dual Mic Operation, inSection 2.

RECORDED AUDIO PLAYBACK

The C-5000 Recorded Audio Playback feature automatically records the last 15seconds of every message received on each RT system. A key on the C-5000control panel allows the operator to select and play back the recorded segment.For more information, refer to Playing Back the Recorded Audio, in Section 3.

AUTOMATED SYSTEM CONFIGURATION AND PROGRAMMING

The C-5000 incorporates a Data Transfer Port for automating systemconfiguration and programming. The port is provided for use with the WulfsbergC-5000 Memory Cloning Option, a separately purchased kit that allows you toexchange configuration and channel programming data between a C-5000 and aPC or between two C-5000’s. For further information, refer to Using the MemoryCloning Option, in Section 7.

ENHANCED OPERATING MODES

When a C-5000-based transceiver system includes two or more transceivers, theC-5000’s five enhanced operating modes become available. These include:

• Relay Mode – Allows the operator to establish an automatic radio linkwith two or three other locations that have radios tuned to differentfrequencies in different frequency bands. Once the link is established, thelocations can communicate without requiring operator intervention.




• Simulcast Mode – allows the operator to transmit simultaneously to twoor three other locations that have radios tuned to different frequencies.

• Relay-Simulcast Mode – Combines the functions of Relay Mode andSimulcast Mode. It allows the operator to establish an automatic radiolink with two or three other locations that have radios tuned to differentfrequencies, and to transmit to those locations simultaneously.

• Repeater Mode – Allows the system to function as an airborne repeaterbetween two other locations that have radios tuned to differentfrequencies in the same frequency band.

• Duplex Mode – allows you to transmit and receive simultaneously ondifferent frequencies.

For more information, refer to Section 4, Operating the C-5000 CMC inEnhanced Mode.

SCAN FUNCTION

The C-5000 scan feature allows the operator to program preset channels into scangroups of up to 10 channels. The C-5000 supports up to 99 scan groups, whichcan be allocated among the configured RT systems as required. Each scan groupcan be assigned Alphanumeric ID of up to eight characters to make it easier forthe operator to identify.

For more information, refer to Section 5, Operating the C-5000 CMC in scanMode.

ENCRYPTION

The C-5000 supports third-party encryption devices, including Motorola OTARand DES, and KY-58-type systems.

CHANNEL MEMORY DISCRETES

The C-5000 provides five Channel Memory Discretes, which are five discretelines that carry 0V or +5VDC outputs from the unit. Each line can beprogrammed to output a high or low signal for each of the C-5000’s presetmemory channels. In addition, they can be programmed to produce differentoutputs when transmitting or receiving.

The Channel Memory Discretes are designed to be used with external devices,such a tone encoders/decoders, encryption devices, indicator lights, etc. Theyallow installers to program the system to switch devices ON and OFF when theoperator transmits or receives.

• A channel set for Repeat (semi-duplex) operation transmits and receivesover different frequencies.

When the letter D appears in the field, it indicates that the channel is set forDirect operation; when the field is blank, it indicates that the channel is set forRepeat operation.

NOTE: In order to be capable of Repeat operation, the preset channel must beprogrammed for both a receive frequency and a transmit frequency(refer to Section 7 for information about preset channel programming).

CURRENTLY SELECTED CHANNEL ALPHANUMERIC ID

The Currently Selected Channel Alphanumeric ID field shows the AlphanumericID of the active preset channel. It is found in the Control Alpha Display page,the Active/Standby Alpha Display page, and the Dual Mic Alpha Display page(refer to Table 3-1).




The Alphanumeric ID is a label of from one to eight characters long that isspecified during preset channel programming. It allows the operator to identify thechannel more easily than a frequency. Refer to Section 7 for information aboutprogramming preset channels.

During transmission, the frequency appears in place of the Alphanumeric ID. Ifthe frequency display is disabled during preset channel programming (refer toProgramming Preset Channel Advanced Features, in Section 7) or during systemconfiguration for Guard Receiver frequencies (refer to Programming GuardChannel Advanced Features, in Section 6), asterisks appear in place of the digits.

If the frequency display is enabled during preset channel programming (orduring system configuration for Guard Receiver frequencies), you can check thefrequency by pressing the 7 | TEST7 | TEST7 | TEST7 | TEST key. The display also shows the tone if onehas been configured for the frequency.

CURRENTLY SELECTED CHANNEL FREQUENCY

The Currently Selected Channel Frequency field (see Figure 3-3) shows thefrequency of the active preset channel. It is found in the Control AlphaFrequency page, the Active/Standby Frequency Display page, and the DualMic Alpha Frequency page (refer to Table 3-1) in place of the CurrentlySelected Channel Alphanumeric ID field.

If the frequency display is not enabled during preset channel programming (referto Programming Preset Channel Advanced Features, in Section 7) or duringsystem configuration for Guard Receiver frequencies (refer to ProgrammingGuard Channel Advanced Features, in Section 6), asterisks appear in place ofthe digits.

SECTION 4OPERATING THE C-5000 CMC IN ENHANCED MODES

This Section contains information and procedures you use to operate theWulfsberg C-5000 Communications Management Controller in the enhancedoperating modes, which include the following:

• Relay Mode, which allows you to establish an automatic radio link withtwo or three other locations that have radios tuned to frequencies indifferent frequency bands.

• Relay-Simulcast Mode, which allows you to transmit simultaneously totwo or three other locations that have radios tuned to frequencies indifferent frequency bands.

• Simulcast Mode, which allows you to transmit simultaneously to two orthree other locations that have radios tuned to different frequencies.

• Repeater Mode, which allows you to establish an automatic radio linkwith locations that transmit and receive over two different frequencies inthe same frequency band.

• Full Duplex Mode, which allows you to transmit and receivesimultaneously on different frequencies.

NOTE: Your system must include two or more transceivers to be able tooperate in the enhanced modes.




Operating the C-5000 in Relay Mode

Relay mode allows you to establish an automatic radio link with two or threeother locations that have radios operating in different frequency bands. Oncethe link is established, the locations can communicate without requiring yourintervention.

Relay Mode allows your aircraft’s C-5000-based transceiver system to functionas a cross-band repeater. If a Relay Mode link is established between twolocations, a message received from one location is automatically retransmitted tothe other. If a link is established between three locations, a message receivedfrom one location is automatically retransmitted to the other two.

Figure 4-1 illustrates an example of a Relay Mode communications net. Presetchannels have been selected on RT Systems #1, #2, and #3, and communicationhas been verified with locations 1, 2, and 3, respectively. The active RT isconfigured on RT System #1.

• Whenever Location 1 transmits (see Figure 4-1a), the aircraft receives themessage on RT System #1 and retransmits it on RT System #2 to Location2 and on RT System #3 to Location 3.

• Whenever Location 2 transmits (see Figure 4-1b), the aircraft receives themessage on RT System #2 and retransmits it on RT Systems #1 and #3 toLocations 1 and 3.

• Whenever Location 3 transmits (see Figure 4-1c), the aircraft receives themessage on RT System #3 and retransmits it on RT Systems #1 and #2 toLocations 1 and 2.

• Whenever the operator transmits over the active RT (see Figure 4-1d),only Location 1 receives the message.

NOTE: The secondary mic is disabled in Relay Mode.

Operating the C-5000 in Repeater Mode

Repeater mode allows the C-5000-based system to act as an airborne repeater,providing a radio link between two ground locations that transmit and receive inthe same frequency band. The tables in Appendix B list the frequency bandsand frequency ranges of Wulfsberg FLEXCOMM I, FLITECOMM, andFLEXCOMM II transceivers. Repeater mode is typically used as a temporaryreplacement for a ground-based repeater that is disabled.

Once the link is established, a message received from one ground location issimultaneously retransmitted to the other without requiring your intervention.

NOTE: In Repeater Mode, the active RT is used to retransmit messages andcannot receive.

The C-5000-based transceiver system must have two separate radios tuned todifferent frequencies in the same band; for example, an RT-5000 and an RT-406F,both tuned to frequencies in the UHF FM band (refer to Appendix B). In addition,you must specify different receive and transmit frequencies for the active channel.

NOTE: The secondary mic is disabled in Repeater Mode.

SECTION 5OPERATING THE C-5000 CMC IN SCAN MODE

This section contains procedures you use to operate the Wulfsberg C-5000Communications Management Controller in scan mode. It explains how to enterscan mode, select a programmed scan group, temporarily delete scan channelsfrom a scan group, and exit scan mode.

NOTE: Before you can use the scan feature, at least one RT system must beconfigured (refer to Section 6, Configuring the C-5000 CMC). Inaddition, the preset channels you want to scan must be programmed,and at least one scan group must be programmed (refer to Section 7,Programming Presets).

The C-5000 scan feature allows you to program preset channels into scan groupsof up to 10 channels (refer to Programming Scan Groups, in Section 7). Inaddition, the active channel is automatically included in each scan group. TheC-5000 supports up to 99 scan groups, and allows you to allocate them amongthe configured RT systems as required.

During scan group programming, the system assigns a sequential number toeach scan group (1 to 99) and to each channel within a scan group (1 to 10). Inaddition, the system allows you to assign an Alphanumeric ID of up to eightcharacters to each scan group.

When you enter scan mode, the system prompts you to select a scan group, thenscans the channels in the selected group until it receives a message. It then stopsand shows the scan group number, channel number, and Alphanumeric ID of thechannel it is receiving on the bottom line of the display. After the channel stopsreceiving, the C-5000 waits two seconds, then automatically resumes scanning.

The C-5000 scan feature has a dual priority channel scanning capability. Apriority channel is one that is checked more often than non-priority channels. Inaddition, the system continues to check a priority channel even when thescanning has stopped on a non-priority channel. The active channel is alwaysthe first-level priority. The second-level priority channel can be specified duringprogramming and changed during scan mode operation.

You can temporarily remove one or more scan channels from the currentlyselected group during scan mode operation. You can restore a channel atanytime while the group is selected. In addition, the original channels arerestored to the group when you select another scan group or exit scan mode.

Programming Scan Groups

The Wulfsberg C-5000 software includes page sequences that allow you to add newscan groups, edit existing scan groups, and delete scan groups you no longer need.

ADDING NEW SCAN GROUPS

The C-5000 scan feature allows you to program preset channels into scan groupsof up to 10 channels. The C-5000 supports up to 99 scan groups, and allows youto allocate them among the configured RT systems as required.

During scan group programming, the system assigns a sequential number toeach scan group (1 to 99) and to each scan channel within a scan group (1 to 10).You assign a preset channel to each scan channel. In addition, the system allowsyou to assign an Alphanumeric ID of up to eight characters to each scan group.

You are not required to assign a preset channel to all 10-scan channels in agroup. Because older Wulfsberg transceivers have limited scanning speeds, it isrecommended that scan groups of no more than four be programmed for RTsystems with transceivers other than RT-5000’s.

Using the Memory Cloning Option

The Wulfsberg C-5000 Memory Cloning Option is a separately purchased kitthat allows you to exchange configuration and channel programming databetween a C-5000 and an IBM-compatible PC or between two C-5000’s. Thisoption allows you to save a tremendous amount of time and effort if yourorganization includes several transceiver systems that are similarly configuredand programmed with numerous channels. You can set up the configuration andprogram the channels once, either on a PC or on one C-5000-based system, thendownload the data to the others.

The kit includes a special cable that allows you to connect the C-5000’s DataTransfer Port (refer to Figure 2-1) to the serial port of a PC or to the DataTransfer Port of another C-5000.

In addition, the kit includes a DOS-based program that allows you to generateconfiguration and programming data or upload it from a C-5000, modify thedata, store it, and download it to other C-5000’s.

The option also allows you to transfer data from one C-5000 to another withoutusing a PC.
