Chapter 1 - Introduction and Specifications Congratulations on your purchase of the CAT-200B Repeater Controller. Programming the CAT-200B is a snap, with its carefully structured uniform programming commands. The manual is easy to follow and the voice synthesizer interacts with you during control and programming operation.
Voice Synthesizer
A vocabulary base of 335 words is available to ID your repeater and make voice announcements.
CW ID
The controller will switch to CW when a repeater user talks over the voice ID. When the voice ID, message #1 is erased, the controller will ID in CW only.
Courtesy Tone
Separate courtesy tones denote repeater and link receiver activity.
Link Control
The CAT-200B will support a link transceiver. You can enable the transceiver or just the receiver to monitor activity on the transceiver frequency while you use the repeater. The CAT-200B will suppress your repeater identification from being transmitted on the transceiver frequency if Zone 2 Channel 5 is disabled.
Weather Station Interface
Provide timely weather announcements on your repeater system. Connect a Peet Brothers Ultimeter ® U-100, U-800 or U-2000 Weather Station to the serial port of the CAT-200B. Integrate temperature, wind speed, direction and rainfall into any of the CAT-200B voice messages. Program a special weather report message as part of your identification.
Beacon Mode
When the repeater is inactive and Zone 4 Channel 2 is enabled, the CAT-200B will key the transmitter and announce voice message 7. This message will repeat at a rate determined by the Beacon timer.
User Function Output Switches
Four open collector user function output switches control equipment at your repeater site. These switches are controlled manually by DTMF commands or from within a voice message. They can be made to turn OFF, ON or Momentarily change state, any time you choose.
User Function Inputs
Four inputs activated by a voltage change from other equipment at the repeater site, causes the CAT-200B to activate voice messages as alarms or announcements. The messages will continue to repeat as long as the respective logic input remains active high. The logic input message timer controls the time between announcements. Information about the repeater site will be instantly available.
DTMF Keypad Test
A DTMF keypad test will read back the numbers decoded in a synthesized voice.

Dip Switch
An eight-position dipswitch configures various functions of the CAT-200B. NOTE: Anytime a dipswitch is changed, DC power must be cycled for the CAT-200B controller to read the new setting.
Switch 1
This switch determines Repeater COR input logic. Switch #1 should be ON if the repeater receiver's COR is an active low and OFF if COR is active high.
Switch 2
This switch determines Repeater CTCSS input logic. Switch #2 should be ON if the repeater receiver's CTCSS is an active low and OFF if CTCSS is active high.
Switch 3
This switch determines Link COR input logic. This switch should be ON if the link receiver's COR is an active low and OFF if COR is active high.
Switch 4
This switch determines Link CTCSS input logic. Switch #4 should be ON if the link receiver's CTCSS is an active low and OFF if CTCSS is active high.
Switch 5
This switch determines if the CAT-200B is in the Repeater or Remote Transceiver Weather Station mode. This switch should be OFF if the CAT200B is configured as a repeater controller. If the CAT-200B is configured as a remote weather station controller this switch should be ON. Consult Chapter 12 for a description of the changes in operation.
Switch 6 This switch is used to identify that the CI-200 Interface module is connected to the CAT-200B. Switch 7 This switch is used to initialize the CAT-200B. Set this switch to ON. Cycle the power OFF and back ON. During power-up, the memory will be flushed and reloaded with default values. The voice will say: "RESET SYSTEM OK." Set dipswitch #7 to the OFF position. Switch 8
This switch is used to program a new un-lock number. Set switch #8 to ON. The voice will say: "ENTER CONTROL." After the seven-digit unlock number is entered, set switch #8 to OFF. This switch is also used to activate the RS-232 port when the CI-200 is connected. Turn the power off set dipswitch #8 to on and apply power to the CAT-200B.

Chapter 3 - Repeater Control The CAT-200B has 4 Zones for a total of 32 remote control channels. These channels can be manually controlled by DTMF commands on the repeater input.
Interrogation of Repeater Control Status by Radio
Key-up and send the control operator code [100] followed by the zone number and a zero. Un-key and the voice will read back the channels that are turned on in that zone. Example: Read Zone 2 channel status. If all the channels are turned off, the voice will say: "CLEAR." Control Operator Code ─┐ │ Key-up and send: 100
┌─────────── Zone (2) │ ┌──────── Read Channel Status (0) │ │ 2 0
Un-key and the voice will say: "ONE FOUR EIGHT"
Changing Repeater Control Status by Radio
To change the status of a channel, key-up and send the control operator code [100] followed by the zone number, channel number and a [1] to turn the channel ON or a [0] to turn the channel OFF. Un-key and the voice will read back the zone, channel number and control activity. The voice will say: "ONE ONE ON." or "THREE FIVE OFF." Example: With a control operator prefix of 100, turn Zone 2 Channel 1 ON. Control Operator Code ─┐ │ Key-up and send: 100
┌─────────── Zone (1 through 4) │ ┌──────── Channel (1 through 8) │ │ ┌───── Activity (0=OFF 1=ON) 2 1 1
Un-key and the voice will say: "TWO ONE ON."

* During initialization these control channels are set to the enable position.
Zone 1 - Repeater Control 1. Repeater Transmitter Enable
This is the master repeater switch. This channel must be enabled for normal repeater operation. The CAT-200B will continue to respond to control operator commands even when the repeater's transmitter is disabled. This channel will automatically be enabled after a dipswitch #7 initialization reset.
2. Repeater CTCSS Enable
When this channel is enabled, in addition to a COR input, an input from a CTCSS decoder at J3-4 must also be present before the repeater will activate. A COR input by itself will have no affect. To prevent loss of control, DO NOT ENABLE THIS CHANNEL unless a CTCSS decoder is connected to J3-4.
3. Repeater CTCSS OR Logic Enable
When this channel is enabled, the COR and CTCSS inputs will function as a (OR) logic input. This means activity on either the COR or CTCSS inputs will cause the controller to key the repeater's transmitter. This is a layered command. Therefore, Repeater CTCSS Enable, Zone 1 Channel 2 must be ON or this control function will have no effect.
4. Repeater ID Enable
When this channel is enabled, repeater voice ID will repeat subject to the setting of the ID timer. This ID will consist of up to 15 words selected from the voice vocabulary table and is programmed with the [*3101] command.
5. Courtesy Tone Enable
When this channel is enabled, a courtesy tone will occur when the COR signal is lost. To eliminate the courtesy tone, turn this channel OFF. The timeout timer will continue to be reset.
6. Transmitter Hang Time Enable
When this channel is enabled, the repeater's transmitter will remain on for a period of time determined by the COR to Beep and Beep to transmitter drop timers. To make the transmitter turn off the instant COR is lost, turn this channel OFF. This feature is useful when linking to other repeaters or during band openings.
3-3
7. DTMF Muting Enable
When this channel is enabled, anytime a DTMF tone is received, the audio will be turned off to the repeater's transmitter. The transmit audio will remain muted until a pre-determined time after the last DTMF tone is received. During the mute period, cover beeps are transmitted each second to indicate repeater activity. This feature prevents control commands from being repeated. It provides an extra measure of security. There may be times when it is desirable to pass the DTMF tones through the repeater. To temporarily disable DTMF muting, precede the DTMF string with a (#).
8. Repeater Time-Out Enable
Repeater time-out is user programmable with the [*601*] timer programming commands. When the CAT-200B is initialized, this timer defaults to 3 minutes. When this channel is turned off, the repeater will not time-out.

4. Link Control Enable
The CAT-200B will only respond to the Link control commands [5000] and [5001] through the link input. This greatly reduces the possibility of the CAT-200B responding to a command meant for another repeater in the linking system. When this channel is enabled, link control commands will be accepted through the link receiver input.
5. Link Voice Enable
When this channel is enabled and the link is enabled, voice messages will be transmitted by the transceiver. When this channel is off, PTT #2 will not activate unless repeater COR #1 is active.
6. Link Auto Disconnect Enable
When this channel is enabled, the link will disconnect automatically after a period of repeater inactivity. The voice will say: “LINK TIME OUT”. A repeater or transceiver COR will keep the link activate until the repeater returns to rest. A rest period of up to 29 minutes can be selected with the [*604*] programming command. When the CAT-200B is initialized, this timer defaults to 10 minutes.
3-4
7. Link To Repeater Output
This channel should be enabled when the transceiver on port 2 is linked to the output of a repeater. The repeater port time-out-timer is reset the instant repeater COR drops. The link port time-out-timer is disabled and the CAT-200B will identify in CW only.
8. Link Time-out Enable
Link time-out is user programmable with the [*602*] timer programming commands. When the CAT-200B is initialized, this timer defaults to 3 minutes. When this channel is turned off, the repeater will not time-out.

Chapter 6 – Interfacing to Other Equipment Interfacing the CAT-200B to your repeater system is a simple matter. A minimum of two inputs and two outputs are required for the CAT-200B to control a repeater. They are: 1. 2. 3. 4.
A COR signal to indicate when a signal is being received. A receive audio signal containing DTMF tones to be processed for control. A Push-To-Talk signal to tell the repeater transmitter to turn ON. A transmit audio signal containing a combination of receive audio, synthesized voice, and courtesy tone.
Additional connections are required to realize all features of the CAT-200B.
Determining COR Logic
Locate your repeater receiver’s COR output. This line has a DC voltage that changes state when a signal is being received. If the COR line is 0 volts and goes to a positive voltage when a signal is received it is said to be (positive logic) or active HIGH. If the COR line is a positive voltage, and goes to 0 volts when a signal is received it is said to be (negative logic) or active LOW. Note: 0 volts is any voltage less than 0.8VDC. A positive voltage is any voltage greater than 3.0VDC. Set dipswitch #1 on the CAT-200B to ON for (negative logic) and OFF for (positive logic).
Connection to Receiver
Connect the repeater receiver audio output to J3-13 and the COR to J3-6 of the CAT-200B. Verify this line changes from less than 0.8VDC to greater than 3.0 VDC. If the COR line will not meet these limits it may be necessary to add a pull-up resistor to the COR #1 line. This may also be true for the COR #2 input. Space is provided on the CAT-200B board to add pull-up resistors.
Connection to Transmitter
Locate your repeater’s Push-To-Talk input. When grounded, this line will make the repeater transmit. Connect the CAT-200B PTT #1 output (J3-10) to this line. Locate your repeater’s TX audio input. This is the line were the audio signal used to modulate the transmitter is applied. Connect the TX1 AUDIO (J311) to this line.
Connection to CTCSS Decoder
If your repeater receiver has a CTCSS decoder output, connect it to J3-4. In addition to COR, the CAT-200B requires an active high input to represent a CTCSS input. If the CTCSS input is active low set dipswitch #2 on.
Interface Review 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8.
Are dipswitches #1 through #8 in their proper positions? Is the PTT-1 output at J3-10 connected to the transmitter PTT input? Is the TX1 Audio at J3-11 connected to the transmitter audio input? Is the COR-1 at J3-6 connected to the repeater receiver COR output? Is dipswitch #1 ON for active low COR or OFF for active high COR? Is the COR level changing from less than 0.8 VDC to greater than 3.0 VDC? Is the RX1 AUDIO at J3-13 connected to the receiver audio output? Is the audio input level sufficient for the DTMF decoder?
6-1
Connector Kit
Included with the controller is a connector kit containing a 25 pin “D” connector to mate with J3, a 2.5mm power plug to mate with J2 (center pin is [+]), two 2200 ohm resistors and two .0047uF capacitors. If the COR inputs are active low, install the 2200 ohm resistors as pull-ups on the board at the R36 and R37 positions. If the receiver’s COR circuit in not capable of pulling down the 2200 ohm resistor increase the resistor value to 10K ohms. If the controller is supplied with discriminator audio install the .0047uF capacitors on the bard at the C10 and C11 positions to de-emphasize the audio.
Power Supply
The CAT-200B is powered by an external 12VDC power supply. Connect the positive lead of the supply to the center pin of the coaxial power connector J2 and the negative lead to the outer conductor.
Audio Level Adjustment
The audio mixing-switching circuits of the CAT-200B are optimized around an input and output of –10dBM (220mV). Connect a signal generator to the repeater’s receiver input. Adjust the signal generator’s output for a standard test signal of 1000 Hz at 3 KHz deviation. If a signal generator is not available, select a handi-talkie that you suspect has the DTMF tone pad adjusted for approximately 3 KHz deviation. Key-up on the repeater input and send a DTMF tone. Adjust the RX1 control R10 for 220 mVAC at TP1. If a link transceiver is connected to the CAT-200B, keyup and send the LINK enable command [5001]. Key-up on the LINK receiver input and send a DTMF tone. Adjust RX2 control R16 for 220 mVAC at TP1.

Once the RX1, and RX2 audios are adjusted, key-up on the repeater input and send a DTMF tone. Monitor the REPEATER transmitter. Adjust the TX1 Audio level control (R4) as required to set the repeater transmitter deviation to 3 KHz or as desired. If the repeaters transmit audio input is very sensitive and you find the TX1 Audio level control near minimum, it is strongly recommended that an external voltage divider be installed at the audio input of the repeater’s transmitter. If a link transceiver is connected, key-up on the repeater input and send a DTMF tone. Monitor the LINK transmitter. Adjust the TX2 Audio level control (R11) as required to set the link transmitter deviation to 3 KHz or as desired. If the link transmit audio input is very sensitive and you find the TX2 Audio level control is near minimum, set the jumper plug at J4 between pins 1 and 2. Compare the receive and synthesized voice audio and adjust the voice Level (R28) as desired. The synthesized voice should be slightly lower than the receive audio. Unlock the CAT-200B by keying-up on the repeater input and entering: [1234567]. Key-up and enter the [*91] test tone programming command. Verify that the test tone provides approximately 1.5 KHz transmitter deviation. Key-up and enter [*0] to exit the programming mode.
Test Point TP1 – Receiver Audio
This test point displays the receive audio level at the input of the DTMF decoder. Adjust RX1 and RX2 for 200mVAC of DTMF audio.

Transceiver Control Channels
In this mode the CAT-200B has two control zones for a total of sixteen control channels. These channels are controlled by DTMF commands on the transceiver’s input.
Interrogation of Transceiver Control Status by Radio
Key-up and send the control operator code [100] followed by the zone number and a zero. Un-key and the voice will read back the channels that are turned on in that zone. Example: "ONE TWO FIVE ON." If all the channels are turned off, the voice will say: "CLEAR."

Changing Transceiver Control Status by Radio
To change the status of a channel, key-up and send the control operator code [100] followed by the zone number, channel number and a [1] to turn the channel ON or a [0] to turn the channel OFF. Un-key and the voice will read back the zone, channel number and control activity. The voice will say: "ONE ONE ON." or "THREE FIVE OFF." Example: With a control operator prefix of 100, turn Zone 3 Channel 6 ON. ┌─────────── Zone (1 - 3) Control Operator Code ─┐ │ ┌──────── Channel (1 through 8) │ │ │ ┌───── Activity (0=OFF 1=ON) Key-up and send: 100 3 6 1 Un-key and the voice will say: "THREE SIX ON."

DTMF Inter-Digit Timer [*610*]
This timer determines the time between entries of DTMF digits that make-up a command. This timer is programmable between 0.1 and 9.9 seconds. The timer default is 1 second. When the CAT-200B is unlocked and placed in the programming mode, the DTMF inter-digit timer doubles in length. This provides more time to enter the programming commands. Once the CAT-200B is locked with the [*0] command this timer returns to the normal setting.

Chapter 14 - DL-1000C Audio Delay Board When placed in the receive audio path, the DL-1000C will eliminate the first chirp of DTMF tone during DTMF muting, and it will eliminate the squelch crash noise present on many repeater systems. A dipswitch selects delays of 50, 100, 200 or 400 milliseconds. The delayed audio is faithfully reproduced. Installation is easy. Remove the jumper plug from the CAT-200B at J7. Connect the cable from the DL-1000C to header connector J7 to delay repeater audio. To delay remote base audio, remove the jumper plug from the CAT-200B at J6. Connect the cable from a second DL-1000C to the header connector J6. CAT-200B

Select Delay
The amount of audio delay is determined by the setting of dipswitch SW1. The typical repeater receiver has a squelch crash noise of Approximately 40 milliseconds. The 100 millisecond setting should be sufficient to eliminate the noise in most cases. If not, increase the delay to the next setting. MILLISECONDS

The DL-1000C is inserted in the receive audio path before the controller's audio switch. This audio switch is controlled by the COR logic signal. Loss of COR will cause the audio switch to open, preventing the receive audio from reaching the transmitter. The DL-1000C provides time for the switch to open before the squelch crash noise reaches the switch's input. During DTMF muting, 40 milliseconds of the first tone will sneak through before the DTMF decoder can tell the microprocessor to open the audio switch. The DL1000C provides the necessary delay to overcome this problem.
Discriminator Switch
The DL-1000C can be used with discriminator audio. A FET switch Q1 is included on the board. If the repeater’s COR logic is connected to the J1 header, the white noise hiss will be eliminated during key-up. If the COR logic is active high set the J2 jumper between pins 1 and 2. If the COR is active low set the J2 jumper between pins 2 and 3.

Chapter 15 - RLS-1000B Remote Link Switch The RLS-1000B provides a method to connect up to three transceivers to the remote base port of the CAT-200B repeater controller. Transceiver selection is accomplished by grounding three control lines. Since the receiver audio and COR inputs are mixed, all three transceivers can be selected at the same time. To select a transceiver, connect the CAT-200B user function switch outputs to the control line inputs on the RLS-1000B.

COR Output Polarity
The COR output will always be active HIGH. The COR polarity dipswitch on the CAT-200B must be set to the OFF position.
Audio Input Output
The audio input and output circuits are identical to the CAT-200B controller. Level adjustments on both the input and output amplifiers, makes it easy to compensate for varying input and output requirements. The audio input impedance is 10K ohms while the output is 600 ohms.
Receiver Audio Response
Each receiver input has a buffer amplifier with a gain of three. The frequency response is flat over a range of 300 to 3000 Hz. If discriminator audio is being used, it may be necessary to add some high frequency roll off. Space has been provided to install a capacitor across the feedback resistor on each receive audio amplifier. These locations are identified on the RLS-1000B board as C2, C11 and C16. Start with a .0047uF capacitor. Increase the value to provide more high frequency roll off or decrease the value to provide less high frequency roll off.

Dip Switch Selection Switch #1 - Port #1 COR Polarity
This switch determines COR input logic for the RLS-1000B port #1 input. Switch #1 should be ON if the COR input is active low and OFF if the COR input is active high. For an active low COR input a pull-up resistor may be required. Install a 2200ohm .25W resistor on the RLS-1000B board at the R33 position.
Switch #2 - Port #2 COR Polarity
This switch determines COR input logic for the RLS-1000B port #2 input. Switch #2 should be ON if the COR input is active low and OFF if the COR input is active high. For an active low COR input a pull-up resistor may be required. Install a 2200ohm .25W resistor on the RLS-1000B board at the R34 position.
Switch #3 - Port #3 COR Polarity
This switch determines COR input logic for the RLS-1000B port #3 input. Switch #3 should be ON if the COR input is active low and OFF if the COR input is active high. For an active low COR input a pull-up resistor may be required. Install a 2200ohm .25W resistor on the RLS-1000B board at the R35 position.
Switch #4 - Port #1 Configuration
This switch configures port #1. If a transceiver is connected to the RLS-1000B at port #1, dipswitch #4 should be in the OFF position. If a repeater is connected to port #1, dipswitch #4 should be in the ON position.
Switch #5 - Port #2 Configuration
This switch configures port #2. If a transceiver is connected to the RLS-1000B at port #2, dipswitch #5 should be in the OFF position. If a repeater is connected to port #2, dipswitch #5 should be in the ON position.
Switch #6 - Port #3 Configuration
This switch configures port #3. If a transceiver is connected to the RLS-1000B at port #3, dipswitch #6 should be in the OFF position. If a repeater is connected to port #3, dipswitch #6 should be in the ON position.
Switch #7 - Port #1 Priority Enable
Switch #7 provides a method of assigning port #1 with priority over ports #2 and #3. If switch #7 is OFF the RLS-1000B will be configured for normal operation. Any COR input will enable the corresponding audio switch and pass the receive audio to the mixer. If switch #7 is ON port #1 will have priority. Audio switches for ports #2 and #3 will be disabled when port #1 COR is active.
Switch #8 - Port #1 CAT-300 Mode Enable
Switch #8 configures the RLS-1000B for operation with the CAT-300 in the one repeater, two-transceiver mode. This mode is not used when the RLS-1000B is connected to the CAT-200B controller.
