Functional Descriptions ......
The CM1481 will provide 'alert' output signals to be used in an audio system to indicate
and highlight certain operations; these are described below.
Audio Alerts
The alert output signal takes the form of a square-wave at the frequencies and durations
described.
It is recommended that the Alert output is introduced to the receiver audio amplifier stages
after the squelch gate and with due regard to any audio powersave functions.
To facilitate either loudspeaker or amplifier operation, a removable LINK is provided on the
CM1481 PCB. To drive a loudspeaker, leave the LINK in place. To interface with an
external amplifier, remove the LINK (see PCB Layout, Figure 4).

Table 5 Audio Alert Descriptions
An internal operation carried out by the CM1481 that will prevent the Tx On line being
placed in an active condition irrespective of the state of the PTT In input.
PTT Lockout
Conditions that cause a PTT Lockout are:
•
•
•
An active ‘BUSY’ input.
The CM1481 in the ‘Quiet’ (muted) condition.
PTT Timeout expired and not reset.
If in any tone sequence (address or data) one tone character is identical to the preceding
one, to prevent confusion at the decoder a REPEAT-tone (‘E’) must be transmitted in its
place.
Automatic
REPEAT-
Tone
At configuration the CM1481 addresses are entered using the code characters ‘0’ thro ‘A’
and identical characters entered as required.
The PC software then processes the address inserting REPEAT-tones as necessary
before writing the information to the module. The REPEAT-tone must not be used as the
first character of a sequence; Address/Data tones received by the CM1481 must conform
to the REPEAT-tone rule for complete decode accuracy.
Example:
Required Sequence
Transmitted Sequence
1 2 3 3 5
1 2 3 E 5
When configured this function will automatically close (re-mute) the CM1481, if in the Open
mode, after the configured time-period of inactivity.
