The radio is set to SURV LCD mode by the Trimble Dealer when the transmit frequencies are added.

In the main screen, the current channel, frequencies, channel spacing and TX power are visible.

Basic settings can be accessed directly in the TDL510 radio from the LCD menu and push buttons (see Push buttons). Some functions, for example, editing channel lists must be done by your Trimble dealer.

Select the frequency band to be used: 450 MHz or 900 MHz.

LCD MENU 2 – Select Channel

LCD MENU 4 – Select TX Power

Select the Tx Power.

The Max. Tx Power for the selected channel is set by the Trimble Dealer.

LCD MENU 5 – Select Repeater

Select Repeater function, ON or OFF. Default: OFF.

Repeater Mode selects whether the radio forwards the received messages over the radio or not. Only one repeater is supported.

LCD MENU 6 – Select FEC

Select FEC (Forward Error Correction), ON or OFF. Default: OFF.

The FEC setting applies only to the SATELLINE-3AS radio protocol.

FEC improves the reliability of data transfer over a noisy radio channel. FEC is recommended in case the link distances are long or if the radio channel is not clean. However, FEC ON decreases the data transfer speed by about 30 % (depending on used modulation level).

All radio modems, which are to communicate with each other, must have the same setting for FEC (ON or OFF).

LCD MENU 7 – Select Modem Address

Not implemented. Only one repeater is supported on the 450 MHz band so addressing is not required.

Settings if 900 MHz band is selected
