INTRODUCTIONThis manual describes how to use the

EDACS /ProVoice LPE-200 Portable Radio. TheLPE-200 is a synthesized, microprocessor-based,high performance portable FM radio providingreliable two-way communications in the EnhancedDigital Access Communications System (EDACS) orProVoice trunking environment and conventionalcommunication systems.

In the trunked system mode, the user selects acommunications system and group. In this mode,channel selection is transparent to the user and iscontrolled via digital communication with the systemcontroller. This provides advanced programmablefeatures and fast access to communicationchannels.

In the conventional mode, the user selects achannel and directly communicates on that channel.In this mode, a system refers to a set of channels. Achannel is a transmit/receive radio frequency pair.

Advanced hardware and software technologyenables this radio to support all advanced EDACSand ProVoice radio features and multiplecommunications modes including digital. Dependingon the customer's needs, the LPE-200 is available inboth System and Scan Modes.

Some key features include:

• Data capable

• Automatic power control for extended battery life

8

• Up to 800 system/group combinations and up to200 conventional channels

• Translucent keys

USER INTERFACEThe LPE-200 operating controls are located on

the radio's front, top and left panels. A 6-button (scanmodel) or 15-button (system model) keypad, LiquidCrystal Display (LCD), microphone and speaker areon the front panel. The top panel houses a rotarySYSTEM/GROUP/ CHANNEL knob, POWER ON-OFF/VOLUME control knob and an EMERGENCYbutton. An OPTION button, CLEAR/MONITORbutton and the Push-To-Talk (PTT) button are alllocated on the left side panel. The Universal DeviceConnector (UDC) is located on the right panel and isused while programming the radio and for accessoryconnection. A battery release button is located on theback adjacent to the PPT button.

The display has three, twelve characteralphanumeric lines used to show the operationalmode of the radio. A back light illuminates thedisplay and the keypad for nighttime use. An LED islocated on the front top edge of the radio. Redindicates transmit.

26

Error MessagesIf either of the following error messages is displayed,

the radio was either programmed incorrectly or needsservicing:

DSP ERRERR=XXXX

DSP ERR or DIG V ERR

(Power Up only)

UNIVERSAL DEVICE CONNECTOR (UDC)The Universal Device Connector (UDC) provides

connections for external accessories such as a headsetor a speaker-microphone. When the radio is locked in avehicular charger the UDC provides the audio andcontrol connections between the radio and the vehicularcharger. The UDC is also used to program and servicethe radio.

ALERT TONESThe LPE-200 radio also provides audible alert

tones or "beeps" to indicate the various operatingconditions. These alert tones can be enabled ordisabled through programming.

Call OriginateA short mid-pitched alert tone sounds after keying

the radio (Push-To-Talk button is pressed). Thisindicates the radio has been assigned a workingchannel or that the radio is transmitting on aconventional channel and voice communication maybegin immediately.

27

Call Queued (Trunked Mode Only)A high-pitched tone after pressing the PTT button

indicates the system has placed the call request inthe queue. The receiving unit(s) also hear the tones,indicating they will receive a call shortly. If the PTTbutton is released, the radio will autokey whenever achannel becomes available (see Autokey).

Autokey (Trunked Mode Only)After being placed in queue (see called queued),

the site calls the radio when a channel becomesavailable. At this point, the radio automatically keysthe transmitter (autokey) for a short period to holdthe channel. The radio sounds a mid-pitched tonewhen it is clear to talk; immediately press the PTTbutton to keep the assigned channel.

System Busy (Trunked Mode Only)Three low-pitched beeps will be heard if: 1) the

radio is keyed when the system is busy, 2) if nochannels are available for sending the message, 3) ifthe call queue is full, 4) or if an individual call is beingattempted to a radio that is transmitting. Releasingthe PTT button and re-keying initiates a new channelrequest.

Call Denied (Trunked Mode Only)If the radio is keyed and a low pitched tone is

heard the radio is not authorized on the system ortalk group selected.

28

Carrier Control TimerIf the programmed time for continuous

transmission is exceeded, five short high-pitchedwarning tones followed by a long low-pitched tonewill be heard. The transmitter will shut down shortlyafter hearing the alert, interrupting communications.Release and re-key the PTT button to maintaincommunications. This will reset the carrier controltimer and turn the transmitter back on.

Low Battery Warning

A low-pitched tone is heard and comes onindicating that the battery voltage is low. Doubletones are then heard until the PTT or CLEAR buttonis pressed.

Low Battery Alert (Transmit Lockout)If the radio is keyed and a double tone is heard

as well as LOW BATT is displayed, the battery isdischarged beyond the point where the radio willtransmit. The radio will still be able to receive callsuntil the battery is discharged beyond the point ofoperation, after which the battery will need to berecharged to resume normal operation.

Key Press AlertA short tone or "beep" sounds to indicate a key

has been pressed. A short low-pitched tone indicatesthe key is not active in the current mode.

29

38

Conventional FailsoftIn the unlikely event of a failure of the EDACS or

ProVoice System, communications may take placein conventional failsoft mode. The radio will beautomatically directed to a communications channelset up for this purpose. During this mode ofoperation, CONV FS will be displayed in thealphanumeric display. An increase in activity on thechannel during conventional failsoft operation maybe noticed, so be careful not to transmit until thechannel is clear.

Operation during conventional failsoft will be thesame as operation on a conventional system, exceptthat it will not be possible to select a communicationschannel, or use emergency and special call. Whentrunking is restored, the radio will automatically bereturned to normal operation.

Emergency and Special Call are notoperational during conventional failsoft. Also,the GROUP will not operate. ConventionalFailsoft must be programmed into the radio.

Emergency OperationThe radio's ability to declare an emergency, clear

an emergency, remain locked on an emergencysystem and group, and the emergency audio anddisplay freeze can each be enabled or disabledthrough programming. When an emergency is

NOTE

SCANNING TRUNKED SYSTEMSThe radio can be programmed with the following

System Scan features. These features areautomatically enabled upon radio power up. A key ormenu option is also defined to allow the System Scanfeatures to be toggled during radio operation. This iscovered in the MENU SELECTION and PRE-PROGRAMMED KEYPAD KEY sections. The SystemScan state will be maintained through system changesbut will default to ON at power up.

Wide Area System ScanningThe LPE-200 radio may be programmed for wide

area system scan operation for roaming across mobilesystems. Upon the loss of the currently selectedsystem's control channel, radios may be programmedto automatically scan the control channels of othersystems. If a new control channel is found, the radio willswitch to the new system and sound an alert tone.

Priority System ScanThe radio may also be programmed for Priority

System Scan. (In order for this feature to workproperly, the control channel of the Priority Systemmust be located on channel one, unless you areusing the ProSound/ProScan algorithm). The prioritysystem is the desired or preferred system. Whilereceiving the control channel of the selected system,periodically the radio will leave the selected systemand search for the control channel of the prioritysystem at a programmable rate defined by the valuein the Priority Scan Time control, (unless the

47

ProSound/ProScan algorithm is enabled asexplained on the following page). This priority scantimer is reset each time the PTT button is pressed orwhen the call is received. If the priority systemcontrol channel is found, (or meets the predefinedcriteria (ProSound/ProScan)), the radio willautomatically switch to the priority system.

When Wide Area System Scan Is Enabled:If the radio cannot find the control channel of the

selected system and begins to wide area system scan,the radio will only scan for the priority system controlchannel if the priority system is in the wide area scanlist.

When ProSound/ProScan Is Enabled:The radio monitors the priority system and will

switch to the priority system if the criteria defined bythe controls in the ProSound/ProScan Options dialogbox are met. If ProSound/ProScan is enabled, therate at which the radio will scan for the prioritysystem is defined by the System Sample Timecontrol, located in the ProSound/ProScan OptionsDialog box.

48

ProSoundThe radio may be programmed for ProSound

system scan operation for multi-site applications.ProSound is an enhanced multi-site system scanningalgorithm compared to Wide Area System Scan.ProSound provides the radio with the ability to selecta new system for the radio to communicate on, whenthe selected system drops below a predefined level.This is accomplished by enabling each radio toanalyze the signal quality of its current controlchannel and compares it with the signal quality of thecontrol channel for each site in its' adjacency scanlist. (The signal quality metric used for the ProSoundalgorithm is based on Digital Received SignalStrength Indicator (DRSSI) measurements). Whenthe selected system degrades to a pre-programmedlevel, the radio will begin to look for a better controlchannel. Once a control channel that exceeds thepre-programmed parameters is found, t6he radio willchange to the new system and emit a tone. If thecontrol channel is completely lost, the radio will enterWide Area System scanning and search theprogrammed adjacent systems until a suitablecontrol channel is found.

ProScanThe radio may be programmed for ProScan

system scan operation for multi-site applicationsdepending on the version of radio flash code. (TheProScan algorithm is available on the LPE-200Platform with Release R8A or higher radio flashcode). ProScan is an improved multi-site system

49

scanning algorithm designed to replace ProSoundscanning. ProScan provides the radio with the abilityto select a new system for the radio to communicateon, when the selected system drops below apredefined level. This is accomplished by enablingeach radio to analyze the signal quality of its currentcontrol channel and compares it with the signalquality of the control channel for each site in its'adjacency scan list. (The signal quality metric usedfor the ProScan algorithm is based on a combinationof both Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI)and Control Channel Verification (CCV)measurements). When the selected systemdegrades to a pre-programmed level, the radio willbegin to look for a better control channel. Once acontrol channel that exceeds the pre-programmedparameters is found, the radio will change to the newsystem and emit a tone. If the control channel iscompletely lost, the radio will enter Wide AreaSystem scanning and search the programmedadjacent systems until a suitable control channel isfound.

5. Repeat the steps above if the number stored inan entry location needs to be changed.

STATUS/MESSAGE OPERATIONStatus operation permits the transmission of a

pre-programmed status condition to the EDACS site.Message operation permits the transmission of apre-programmed message text to an EDACS site.

STATUS OPERATION

To send a status condition, press the M keyfollowed by < or > key to select the pre-programmed status. STATUS and 0 through 9 pre-programmed status selections are available from themenu. If STATUS is selected you need to enter thenumber of the status message you intend totransmit. If no status has been programmed for theselected number key, the radio will display "NOENTRY". A valid selection will permit the status textto appear in the display for a pre-programmed time.After the time-out expires or the M key has been

63

pressed (the M key will override the time-outperiod), the status is selected and will be transmittedto the site or stored in the radio memory where it canbe polled by the site at a future time. Statusmessages can also be programmed for single keyoperation so that a single press of a key assigned toa status message automatically transmits thatmessage. If the site does not receive the statusproperly, the radio will sound a low pitched tone.

The status selection can also be canceled bypressing the CLEAR button prior to the time-outperiod.

To view the currently selected status after it hasbeen transmitted, press the M key and then the< key to ramp to STS, re-press the M key againand then the CLEAR button prior to the time-outperiod. If the status was not sent successfully to thesite, the text associated with the status will flash inthe display.

MESSAGE OPERATIONMessage operation is performed in the same

manner as status operation in previous paragraph.

DYNAMIC REGROUP OPERATIONDynamic group operation permits multiple talk

groups (up to eight) to be added to a radio via thesystem manager. The radio must be pre-programmed to respond to regrouping. Dynamicregrouping will not be activated in a radio until an

64

activation message is sent by the system manager.Each radio that receives and acknowledges theregrouping instructions is successfully regrouped.

Pressing and holding the CLEAR/MONITORbutton for 2.5 seconds toggles the user into and outof the dynamic regroup groupset. A double beep willsound for entry or exit. The display will indicate"REGRP_0x" where "x" is a digit of 1 to 8 indicatingthe group when dynamic regroup has been enabledby the user. If the radio is in dynamic regroup andthe user selects a group that has not beenregrouped, the display will show "NO ENTRY".

DIGITAL VOICE OPERATIONDigital voice programmed systems have three (3)

different voice modes: clear (analog), digital andprivate (encrypted). The voice modes areprogrammed on a per-group basis within each trunkedsystem and on a per-channel basis within eachconventional system.

Clear ModeThe clear mode is a voice mode in which the radio

transmits and receives only clear (analog) voicesignals. These analog signals are non-digitized and

71

non-encrypted. Clear mode transmissions can beeasily monitored by unauthorized persons. Groups orchannels programmed for clear operation cannottransmit or receive digital or private messages.

Digital ModeThe digital mode allows the radio to transmit and

receive digitized voice signals. Digital signals provideimproved weak signal performance and cannot beeasily monitored with a standard receiver. Groupsand channels programmed for digital operationtransmit only digital signals. Message trunked groupcalls and individual calls are answered back in themode which they are were received assuming thecall or hang time is still active. Individual phone, allcall, and emergency calls are transmitted clear if thedigital mode is disabled or inoperative.

1. If receiving an analog message trunked call, theradio responds in the analog mode during thehang time on the working channel.

2. If receiving an analog I-Call, the radio respondsin the analog mode during the hang time.

3. When using the *WHC* feature to respond to anI-Call (after the hang time has expired), the callis transmitted in the mode defined by the systemmode as programmed for the current system ifthe ID being called is not in the I-Call list. If theID is in the I-Call list, then the call is transmittedas defined by the I-Call mode programmed in thelist for that ID.

72

DTMFThe overdial DTMF tones are not available while in

the Digital Mode.

Private ModeThe private modes allow the radio to transmit

encrypted messages and receive clear or privatetransmissions. The radio transmits private if thegroup/channel is programmed for private operationand forced operation is pre-programmed. If autoselectoperation is pre-programmed and the radio is in theprivate mode, the radio transmits in the mode of thereceived call if the hang time is active. If no hang timeis active, the radio transmits private.

Cryptographic keys are transferred to the radiousing a cryptographic Keyloader. Up to seven (7)different cryptographic keys, numbered 1-7, can betransferred from a Keyloader and stored in the radio.An individual key is automatically selected on a per-group/channel basis according to the radioprogramming. Groups and channels within the digitalsystem can be programmed for keys 1-7 (private).Up to 8 banks of 7 keys can be stored for privatesystems. The bank is specified per system.

When operating on a group or channelprogrammed for private mode, all transmissions areprivate transmissions and the radio receives clearand private signals. The status icon display turnson when the private mode is enabled. If the selectedgroup or channel is programmed for autoselectcapability, the mode may be toggled between private

73

and clear with the M key, then following theselection mode rules. Radios programmed for forcedprivate operation do not allow a change of thetransmit mode.

Displaying the Currently Used Cryptographic KeyNumber

To display the cryptographic key currently in usefor either the system encryption key (for special callsuch as individual, phone, all, agency or fleet) or thegroup/channel key (for group or conventional calls),perform the following procedure:

1. Press the M button .

2. Use the < or > button to select "DISPKEY."

3. Then use the < or > button to togglebetween displaying the system key or thegroup/channel key.

System Encryption Key

74

Group/Channel Encryption Key

Key ZeroAll cryptographic keys can be zeroed (erased

from radio memory) by pressing theMONITOR/CLEAR button and while still pressing thisbutton, press and hold the OPTION button. Pressboth buttons for 2 seconds. A series of beeps willbegins at the start of the 2 second period and thenswitch to a solid tone after the keys have beenzeroed. The display will indicate "KEY ZERO."

If the cryptographic key(s) are zeroed, one ormore keys must be transferred from the Keyloaderinto the radio before private communications maycontinue.

Private Operation

Receiving an Encrypted CallWhen receiving, the radio automatically switches

between clear or private operation. If thetransmission being received is an encryptedtransmission, it will be decrypted, the icon will turnon, the receiver will unsquelch and the message willbe heard in the speaker. For this to occur, theselected group or channel must be programmed for

75

private operation and the correct cryptographic keymust be loaded into the radio.

Transmitting an Encrypted Call1. Select the desired group or channel.2. Place the radio in private mode by pressing the

M key, then follow the selection mode rules.On a System radio, the 4 key can be used totoggle the private mode on/off. When privatemode is enabled, the icon will be on.

If the last state of the radio was private mode,the private mode will be enabled on power up.Also the private mode will be enabled if forcedoperation has been programmed in the radio.

If a group or channel is not programmed forprivate mode operation, "PVT DIS" will bedisplayed if attempt is made to enable privatetransmit mode. It is not possible to operate onthis group/channel in private mode.

If the radio does not have the correct encryptionkey loaded, "NO KEY#" will be displayed and thecall will not be transmitted.

3. Continue with standard transmission procedures.A private mode access tone will be heard whenthe PTT button is pressed.

76

Scanned Group CallsReceiving a scanned group call is the same as

receiving a selected group call. During the scan hangtime, if the radio was programmed for autoselect, itwill transmit back in the same mode it received thecall. For example, if a clear group is entered in thescan list, it will only receive clear calls. If the samegroup was available in private and entered in thescan list, it can receive clear and private calls,provided autoselect was programmed in the radio.The user can select transmitting on the scanned orselected group. If a group is entered in the scan listmore than once and in different modes (clear, digital,private), only the first occurrence of the group will beused.

PORTABLE DATAThe LPE-200 radios, when operating in the

EDACS configuration, permit either voice or datacalls to be transmitted or received. The radio canhandle only one type of call at a time; however,selection of either data or voice is selectedtransparently by the operator through normal usageof the radio. Data communications is not supportedin the conventional mode.

The radios can be connected to Mobile DataTerminals (MDT) or to a host computer. Any RS-232compatible device that supports the Radio DataInterface (RDI) protocol (Version 1.91 or greater)may be connected to the radio. Support for MDT's orhost computers is a programmable option per radio.Additionally, radios may also be programmed fordata only operation (no voice calls transmitted orreceived).

DISPLAYSThe following will be displayed in the display

during the various states of data mode of operation.

TX DATA Displayed on top line of display whenthe radio is transmitting a data call.

RX DATA Displayed on top line of display whenthe radio is receiving a data call.

DATA OFF Displayed on top line of display whenthe radio is in the data disabled state.

79

DATA ON Displayed for two seconds on top lineof display when the radio is toggled tothe data enabled state.

DATA OFF OPERATIONThe radio can be placed in the data disabled

state by any of the following methods. When the datastate is disabled, the display shows "DATA OFF" onthe top line.

• Declaring an emergency (not to be used unlessan actual emergency condition exists). Alert tonewill sound.

• Pressing the OPTION button (if pre-programmedfor no data key). Alert tone will sound.

• Pressing the no data (ND) key (pre-programmed).

DATA ON OPERATIONThe data state is enabled by one of the following

(depending on how it was disabled). "DATA ON" willbe displayed on the top line in the display for twoseconds then the display returns to normal.

• Pressing the no data (ND) key toggles data stateon or off.

• Clearing an emergency but valid only ifemergency caused data off operation.

80

EXITING DATA CALLSUnder normal conditions, the radio enters the

scan lockout mode and returns to the controlchannel after completion of a data call (transmit orreceive). If, during a data call, one of the followingconditions occurs, the data call is immediatelyterminated and the radio per-forms the desiredfunction:

• PTT activated.• Emergency declared by pressing the pre-

programmed emergency button.• A group or system change.

SCAN LOCKOUT MODEFollowing the transmission or reception of a data

call, if scan is enabled, scanning will stop temporarily[two independent pre-programmed times (afterreceive data call and after transmit data call)]. Duringthis time the scan indicator will flash to indicate thatscan is enabled but temporarily suspended. Thismode is normally exited when the pre-programmedtime expires; however, the following actions willterminate the scan lockout mode before the timeoutis completed.

• The CLEAR button is pressed.• The PTT is pressed.• A group or system change.• Entering phone call mode.

81

• Entering individual call mode.• A new emergency assignment has been

received.• An emergency declared or cleared.• Receiving an individual or phone call.• Receiving Agency, Fleet or System All Call.• Pressing S or 3 to turn scan on or off.

DATA LOCKOUT MODEDuring the voice call scan hang time (pre-

programmed) the radio will not receive data calls.

CONVENTIONAL OPERATIONThe radio functions in the conventional mode

when using conventional communications channels(non-trunked). Each channel consists of a presetfrequency pair for transmit and receive duringrepeater operation, or a single frequency for bothtransmit and receive during talk-around (no repeater)operation. To use this mode, the operator selects aconventional system which includes one or moreconventional channels. Each conventional channelmay have one or more features, such as ChannelGuard, programmed when the channel is selected.

The CLEAR/MONITOR button unmutes thereceiver so activity on the selected channel can bemonitored. When pressed and held forapproximately 3 seconds this button togglesconventional channel decoding (Channel Guard,

82

Digital Channel Guard ) on and off if programmed forthe selected channel. will be on when channelguard is enabled on a selected channel.

RECEIVING A CALL1. Turn on the radio by rotating the POWER ON-

OFF/VOLUME knob clockwise (out of detent). Ashort alert signal (if enabled throughprogramming) indicates the radio is ready to use.

2. Adjust the POWER ON-OFF/VOLUME knob tothe desired volume level.

3. Select the desired conventional system andchannel. The display indicates the currentconventional system and channel names.

4. The radio is now ready to receive calls.

5. When the radio receives a call (and the correctencoding is decoded, if programmed andenabled), it unmutes on the channel and comes on.

SENDING A CALL1. Turn on the radio and set the POWER ON-

OFF/VOLUME knob to the desired volume level.Select the desired conventional system andchannel.

2. Ensure that the channel is not busy by pressingthe CLEAR/MONITOR button to momentarilydisable any channel decoding and unmute the

83

receiver or observe the display for the absenceof . If the Channel Busy Lockout feature isprogrammed for the selected channel, the radiowill not transmit when the channel is busy.

3. Press and hold the PTT button. The radio willdisplay and a short beep sounds (ifprogrammed) indicating that communication canbegin.

4. Hold the radio approximately three inches fromthe mouth and speak in a normal voice into themicrophone (located at upper left front corner).

5. Release the PTT button when the transmissionis complete and listen for a reply.

The following procedures outline scan operationsfor conventional channels.

ADDING CHANNELS TO A SCAN LIST1. With scan operation turned off select the desired

channel to add to the selected conventionalsystem channel scan list.

4. The FCC requires that conversations be briefand confined to business. To save time, usecoded messages whenever possible.

5. Using the radio to send personal messages(except in an emergency) is a violation of FCCrules. Only those messages essential for thebusiness operation may be sent.

6. It is against the Federal law to repeat orotherwise make known anything overheard onthe radio. Conversations between others sharinga communications channel must be regarded asconfidential.

7. The FCC also requires that the caller beidentified at certain specific times by means ofcall letters. Refer to the rules that apply to theparticular type of operation for the properprocedure.

8. No changes or adjustment shall be made to theequipment except by an authorized or certifiedelectronic technician.

88

OPERATING TIPSThe following conditions tend to reduce the

effective range of two-way radios and should beavoided whenever possible.

• Operating the radio in low areas of terrain orwhile under power lines or bridges.

• Operating the radio inside of a vehicle or in ametal or steel framed building unless using anoutside antenna.

• Obstructions such as mountains or buildingsbetween the sending and receiving parties.

In areas where transmission or reception is poor,some improvements may be obtained by insuringthat the antenna is vertical. Moving a few yards inanother direction or moving to a higher elevationmay also improve communication.

BATTERY PACKS

CHARGING THE BATTERY PACKAfter receiving a new rechargeable battery pack,

it should be fully charged before placing it intoservice. This also applies to rechargeable batteriesthat have been stored for long periods. When thebattery pack requires charging, the radio will signalthe operator with an alert tone and the radio willdisplay in its LCD.

89

Chargers are available with nominal charge timesof one hour. Combinations include single andmultiposition, rapid charge units. When charging abattery pack that is attached to a radio, always turnthe radio off to ensure a full charge. For specificinstructions refer to the applicable charger OperatingManual. Charging in non-M/A-COM equipment maylead to battery damage and void the batterywarranty.

Batteries which have been stored (charged ordischarged) will generally not be capable of fullcapacity until the batteries have been fully cycled twoor three times. Charging a battery in a M/A-COMrapid charger and discharging the battery pack withthe radio until low battery is indicated is consideredone cycle.

Improvements in the manufacturing of presentgeneration NiCD rechargeable batteries minimize theprobability of M/A-COM batteries developingmemory. It is recommended that on a regular basisthe battery be charged on a M/A-COM rapid chargerand discharged on the radio until the low battery isindicated.
