GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

For safety precautions during the maintenance of electrical/electronic equipment, see TB 385-4 (Army). For care and handling of electronics equipment, see TM 43-0158 (Army).

FIRST AID

For further information on first aid, see FM 4-25.11.

WARNING

Do not disconnect or connect any cables without properly powering down the system and turning off all power. When disassembling disconnect the ground cable last and when assem-bling connect the ground cable first. Failure to comply could cause injury to personnel and/or damage to equipment.

WARNING

Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) internal back-up batteries may rupture and cause irritation if leaked electrolytes adhere to eyes and skin. Lithium Carbon

WARNING

HIGH VOLTAGE - Ensure all power to the FBCB2 system is off (including power from the vehicle) before conducting maintenance involving the removal or replacement of system components. Failure to comply could cause injury to personnel and/or damage to equipment.

WARNING

Inspect cables to ensure they are properly dressed and stowed to prevent trip and snag hazards. Failure to comply could cause injury to personnel and/or damage to equipment.

WARNING

Avoid contact with skin, eyes, and clothes, and do not breathe vapors if backlights in the display unit break and leak Mercury and/or Lead. Immediately contact the proper authorities for proper removal of the spillage, and if necessary administer appropriate medical aid. Dispose of Mercury and Lead IAW your local servicing Defense Reutilization and Marketing Office (DRMO). Failure to comply could cause injury to personnel.

CAUTION

Do not shut down the computer power without following software shutdown procedures to avoid loss of data. Failure to comply could cause damage to equipment.

MTS-ES PLATFORM CABLE DIAGRAM AND COMPONENT DESCRIPTION AND INDICATORS

Cable and Component Diagram

The key communications features of the Movement Tracking System are: its ability to use a variety of in-orbit commercial satellites, its near real-time communications speed, its security features, and its radio frequency identification and military global positioning system capabilities.

MTS-ES PLATFORM SYSTEM COMPONENTS

The MTS-ES Platform consists of the following:

•

MT 2012RS transceiver.

•

Ruggedized computer.

•

Ruggedized keyboard.

•

Camouflage cover.

•

MTS Plus EUM.

•

Transit case.

Figure 1 is a cabling diagram of the MTS-ES Platform system showing the connection of the major components. This diagram is intended to show the interfaces of various MTS-ES Platform equipment and peripherals and does not necessarily reflect an actual vehicle configuration.

MTS-ES Platform Keyboard Unit (KU).

Figure 3. MTS-ES Platform Keyboard Unit.

Keyboard Unit Controls and Indicators.

(12)

•

KU Function Keys: The function keys F1 through F8 are operational when the OPS Main Screen is displayed. Function keys F9 through F12 are not used. The function keys on the KU correspond to the FBCB2 software buttons on the OPS Function Bar. Selecting the KU's left Alt key and function key simultaneously corresponds to the DU 8-Button Bezel Keypad software functions.

•

Mouse Controls:There are two mouse control buttons. The left button selects the object or executes a func-tion. The right key opens Help in the Messages dialog box or pop-up menus with options.

•

Backlighting:The KU keys are backlit to make their labels visible at night. Press the BACK-LIGHT button to turn backlighting on and off.

•

Pointing Device: The KU pointing device duplicates the functions of a mouse device. It consists of a movable pointer. The pointing device moves the cursor on the DU screen.

(13)

GUMBALL STATUS INDICATORS

Gumball Status Indicators: The gumball status indicators (total of 4) show the current state of all externally-connected devices. Status is displayed using a communications antenna gumball for signal strength and three separate device gumballs using letters and color for device condition.

Joint Capabilities Release (JCR) Gateway Status Indicator: The JCR Gateway gumball status indicator is the first status gumball located at the far left of the OPS screen marquee. It provides system status for JCR Gateway connections and is depicted by a communications antenna.

•

JCR Gateway Status: The JCR vehicle software has a JCR Gateway Server application that allows VDX data to be exchanged with other users. The JCR Gateway Server application provides the capability for the JCR vehicle to serve as a gateway to other users and as a client to another gateway. To register with another gateway server, the user will enter and send login information to that gateway.

•

JCR Gateway:Represented by the signal strength gumball and automatically detects BIT stream rate between the transceiver and the satellite. Full signal strength of 4 bars is shown if transceiver is in a bound state.

(14)

The Local Comm gumball for your system is located at the top of the Ops screen on the left of the marquee to the left of the GPS status indicator as shown in Figure 4. The button color is either Red (No Go), Amber (Degraded), Green (Go), or White (Not Tested). Selecting the Local Comm gumball opens the status window, which helps the operator determine the Satellite Communication (SATCOM) status.

The SATCOM status for your system is indicated on the marquee at the top of the Ops screen.

•

Local Comm: GO (GREEN indication). Under normal operations, the green status indicator indicates satellite communications has been established.

•

Local Comm: DEGRADED (AMBER indication). A amber status indicator indicates satellite communications have been lost with the satellite - transceiver not in lock. The operator must move the platform.

•

Local Comm: NO GO (RED indication): After second and third attempts to find hardware, a red status indicator may appear, indicating it is unable to establish communication with the satellite. The operator should check power, check cables, and restart to BCOPS.

The GPS status for your system is located at the top of the Ops screen on the left of the marquee to the right of the COMMS status indicator as shown in Figure 4.

•

GPS: GO (GREEN indication). The green status indicator indicates communication is established with GPS satellites.

•

GPS: DEGRADED (AMBER indication). A amber status indicator indicates status check (TIME, HEADING, and POSITION). It also means lost communications with GPS, and that operator should check GPS settings and verify satellite and the Line Of Site (LOS) when the MT2012 Transceiver is unobstructed.

•

GPS: NO GO (RED indication). After second and third attempt to find hardware, a red status indicator may

appear, indicating it is unable to establish communication with GPS. The operator should check power, check cables, and restart to BCOPS.

When your platform is configured as one the MTS-ES products, and an MT2012 Transceiver device is externally connected to the system, the third status gumball allows you to display the MT-2012 RFID Interrogator device status, as shown in Figure 4.

•

Detection: GO (GREEN indication). The green status indicator indicates a MT-2012 device has been detected.

•

Detection: NO GO (RED indication). The red status indicator indicates a MT-2012 device has not been

detected/not responded for 2 minutes.

•

On/Off: GO (GREEN indication). The green status indicator indicates RFID Enabled.

•

On/Off: NO GO (RED indication). The red status indicator indicates RFID Disabled.

•

Read: GO (GREEN indication). The green status indicator indicates results successfully received / read command not issued.

•

Read: NO GO (RED indication). The red status indicator indicates no results received within the time-out period.

TRANSCEIVER LED INDICATORS

Figure 5. Satellite Transceiver MT-2012 LEDs

Three status LEDs are located on the outside of the transceiver as shown in Figure 5 and indicate the operating condition of the Satellite Transceiver. The following is a description of the LED indicators and their meaning: 1. Red LED illuminates briefly at power up. The only other time the Red LED illuminates is during data

trans-mission. If the Red LED stays illuminated, contact field maintenance. If the Red and Amber LEDs are blinking alternately or off, contact Field Signal Maintenance.

2. Green LED illuminates and then begins blinking. Constant blinking means the receiver is not in lock. When the Green LED is on steady, the receiver is in lock.
