1.13.5 POWER SUPPLY
The 2000 Series Repeater Power Supply is a quad
output 800W supply with power factor correction. A
battery back-up module, PN 023-2000-830, can be
added to the power supply to provide automatic bat-
tery revert in the event of AC power failure (see Sec-
tion 1.4) The Battery Back-Up module charges the
batteries when AC is present at the power supply (see
Section 1.5 and 8.6).
1.14 LTR-Net SYSTEM COMPONENTS
1.14.1 INTRODUCTION
The main components in a LTR-Net system are
shown in Figure 1-3. An LTR-Net system can be
designed to meet the requirements of almost any user.
The following are LTR-Net features.
With LTR-Net signaling, advanced features such as
up to 65504 Unique ID codes, automatic mobile
identification, home channel backup, and five levels
of access priority are available.
Users of different types of radio equipment can talk
to each other.
Example: a Conventional mobile channel could talk
to a mobile operating on a LTR-Net (trunked)
900 MHz channel.
Wide area radio coverage can be provided so that a
mobile could talk to another mobile that is using a
repeater that may be hundreds of miles away. That
repeater may be part of the same LTR-Net system or
another LTR-Net system. Phone line or other types
of links can be used to provide the communication
path.
LTR-Net systems are not restricted to a specific
type of signaling. Example: an entire LTR-Net system
could be designed using Conventional channels which
use tone- or digitally-controlled squelch. The various
types of signaling can also be mixed in a system.
Example: There could be:
10-channels using LTR-Net signaling
5-channels using LTR
signaling
5-channels using Conventional signaling
Check with your Johnson representative for more
information concerning the capabilities of LTR-Net
systems.
The following sections provide a brief description
of the LTR-Net components see Figure 1-3.
1.14.2 MOBILE TRANSCEIVERS
The mobile and handheld transceivers used in a
LTR-Net system must be compatible with the type of
signaling in use and also the frequency range.
LTR-Net transceivers can be programmed for
LTR and Conventional operation. However, some
LTR transceivers can only be programmed for LTR
and Conventional operation. The main difference
between LTR-Net and LTR only versions of the same
model is the software in the microprocessor.
1.14.3 REPEATERS
NOTE: The Summit QX does not require a
separate LTR-Net logic drawer.
The repeater model used in a LTR-Net system is
determined by frequency range, 900 MHz use the
Summit QX 2009 repeaters. There is one repeater for
each RF channel.
Inter-Repeater Data Communication
Data communication between LTR-Net or LTR
repeaters is via a high-speed data bus. This bus cable
is installed in a daisy-chain manner between repeat-
ers. If both LTR-Net and LTR repeaters are located at
a Locality, only like types are connected together. Up
to 20 LTR-Net or 20 LTR repeaters can be intercon-
nected (see Section 1.9 for connecting the data bus).
