Installing the MDC-2100/MDC-900

In order to use the MDC with the OSCOR, a special connector (the OEP-2100) must be installed in the connector tray of the OSCOR. This connector should be installed permanently into the connector tray and provides for easy connection of the MDC while not affecting the OSCOR normal operation. Note the step numbers on Figure 4 below to assist in the installation.

To install the OEP-2100:

1.Turn the OSCOR off and wait at least 30 seconds before proceeding.

2.Remove the OEP from the packaging and insert the mini-din connector (OSCOR EXP.) into the EXPANSION PORT of the OSCOR as shown in Figure 4. (You may have to unplug the two tape recorder cables labeled REMOTE OUT RECORDER).

3.Insert the metal support bar into the connector tray. Align the depression at the center of the bar with the screw head at the top of the OEP. (The cables that provide connection to the tape recorder controls must be placed under the metal support.)

4.Use the hex wrench to tighten the two hex screws. (This holds the OEP in place.)

5.Unplug the HF/UHF BNC connector from the OSCOR and plug it into the OEP at the ANTENNA PANEL RF jack.

6.Connect the OEP BNC cable (HF/UHF INPUT) to the OSCOR HF/UHF INPUT.

To install the MDC-2100 or MDC-900:

1.Plug the MDC BNC connector into OEP BNC jack (MDC RF).

2.Plug MDC mini-din connector into the MDC POWER/CTRL jack.

3.Utilize the OSCOR keypad to control the MDC.

Figure 4: INSTALLATION OF THE OEP

The MDC can be used in a stationary position sitting on the provided tripod or it can be moved around the environment to provide a thorough sweep of the area. For best operation, the MDC should be located at least three feet away from the OSCOR. Position the metal housing towards the OSCOR.
