T2000-A80 Line Interface Fitting Instructions
Introduction
The T2000-A80 line interface kit enables connection of the T2000 receiver and transmitter audio circuitry to a two-wire transmission line. The line interface PCB is mounted inside the T2000 Series II radio and is application configurable using PCB links.
Parts Required
The T2000-A80 kit contains the following items:
- 1 T2000-A80 line interface PCB assembly
- 1 15-way high-density D-range plug and shroud
- 1 1µF capacitor (*C64)
- 1 47nF capacitor (*C60)
- 28 0Ω chip resistors (for PCB links)

- 2 micromatch connectors (S13 & S14 on the logic PCB)
- 1 female screw lock kit (in plastic bag)
- 2 4-40x5/16 pan Pozi Taptite screws (black)
Fitting
Refer to Figure 1.
- Remove the top cover of the radio by unscrewing the four bottom cover screws, unscrew the logic PCB and fold out.
- Unclip the D-range blanking plate in the rear of the T2000 chassis.
- Position the T2000-A80 PCB as shown, and connect the Micromatch connectors P13 and P14 to S13 and S14 on the T2000 logic PCB.
- For T2010 & T2015 models: Remove R513 (0Ω resistor) on the top side of the logic PCB.
- Connect a wire from S24 (TX REG) on the T2000-A80 PCB to TP609 on the logic PCB, as shown in Figure 1.
- Select the T2000-A80 PCB link options, using the 0Ω resistors provided. Refer to "T2000-A80 Link Options" for a description of the PCB links.
- Adjust RV1, RV2 and RV3 on the T2000-A80 PCB, as described in "T2000-A80 Set-Up".
- Carefully fold the logic and T2000-A80 PCBs back into position, guiding the T2000-A80 D-range socket (S21) through the hole provided in the T2000 chassis.
- Secure the PCBs using the three logic PCB retaining screws and the three M3x8 screws provided, and refit the top cover.
- Fit the female screw lock kit to S21, and plug the D-range assembly provided in the kit into the T2000-A80 D-range socket.
Note: Holes are provided in the T2000 Series II chassis for the D-range screw locks. Use the two black 4-40 Taptite screws provided to form threads for the screw locks, and discard the screw lock kit nuts.

Component | Value | Function |
*C60 | 47nF | Rx gate delay |
*C64 | 1µF (provided in the kit) | Gives a short transmit release delay |
*C120 | 4n7 | Line matching |
R77 | 4k7Ω | Remove for modem operation (trunked radios), or to remove 'external inhibit on busy' (conventional radios) |
R90, R91 | 10Ω | Remove for 2-wire crossband when moulded cord sets are used (HD 15M-HD 15M). This is to avoid power supply conflicts between radios (+8V out, +13V out). |
Refer to Figure 2 (components found on the top side of the PCB are shown with a 'dashed' outline). Certain applications may require component changes. The following table describes these components, and their locations.
T2000-A80 Set-Up
- If the logic and T2000-A80 PCBs are unscrewed and folded out for adjustment, a wire must be temporarily fitted from the radio chassis to the options chassis ground pad (S35), as shown in Figure 1.
- This section assumes that the T2000 radio has been correctly aligned for normal operation. Refer to the M2000-00 Series II Service Manual (issue 300, or later), Section 8.14, for application details.
- Check that the auxiliary LED, ?, is on (function LED, F on trunked radios).
- Signals for balanced transmissions are generally less than 0dBm, and are typically between -10dBm and -20dBm.
- In the following instructions, deviation settings are given first for wide band radios, followed by settings for narrow band radios in brackets [].
- Set up the test equipment as shown in Figure 3.
Line Output Level
- Check that the auxiliary LED, ?, is on (function LED, F on trunked radios).
- Monitor the line output (S21 pin 5).
- Apply an on-channel signal from the RF signal generator at an output level of -70dBm, modulated to ±3kHz [±1.5kHz] deviation, at 1kHz AF.
- Adjust the RV1 (line output control) for the required output level.
Note: If the line output level is to be less than -15dBm, short LINK6 (600Ω output) and remove LINK5, to select 15dB of attenuation.
Line Input Sensitivity
- Monitor the line input (S21 pin 15).
- Ensure the BUSY indicator is off, and key the transmitter via the opto input (+8V).
- Adjust RV2 (line input sensitivity control) until ±3kHz [±1.5kHz] deviation at 1kHz is achieved.
Note: For input signals of greater than -15dBm, set the line input attenuation for 15dB (LINK11 open).
Time Delay Circuit
This circuit delays audio gate turn on after PTT, to prevent squelch noise bursts in repeater applications.
- Enable the time delay circuit by solder shorting LINK23.
- Set the required time delay using RV3 (time delay control).
Servicing
Refer to the M2000-00 Series II Service Manual (issue 300, or later), Section 8.14. For additional information on external channel control of T201X radios, refer to Section 5.9.
