GETTING STARTED
1.0 QUICK START
This section will cover the basics of installation and programming of your RI-200. You may also need to review section 2 for
more details on connecting your RI-200 to your repeater. Once you have covered these basics, we recommend that you
thoroughly review the complete manual in order to get the most out of your controller.
1.1 UNPACKING THE RI-200
Inspect the carton for the following contents and if any of the items that you have ordered are missing or damaged, notify
your RI-200 dealer or the factory that shipped the unit to you.
1. RI-200 Repeater controller board with mating DB15S connector. RI-210 does not come with the DB15S connector.
2. DB25 Connector used only with the RI-210.
3. UM-200 Printed user manual.
4. IC-200 Optional interconnect cable for connecting to another RI-200.
1.2 MOUNTING THE RI-200 REPEATER CONTROLLER
Skip to section 1.3 if you are installing a RI-210
1. An optional single controller enclosure or a standard 19 inch wide 1-3/4 inch high rack mounted enclosure is available.
Mounting holes are provided for the repeater controller and for the front panel LED status boards within the enclosure.
2. The repeater builder can mount the RI-200 repeater controller in any enclosure of his choice. The enclosure that you
selected should be strong enough to mechanically protect the contents. The enclosure should be made of metal with good
shielding properties. We do not recommend the use of a plastic enclosure in a RF environment. Mounting the RI-200 is
accomplished by drilling four holes and mounting the unit with #4-40 standoffs.
3. Avoid installing the RI-200 in the following places.
•
Directly above a transmitter or power amplifier because of heat and RF considerations.
•
Directly above any power supplies because of heat and 60 Hz coupling into the audio circuits.

The RI-200 repeater controller is very easy to interface with your repeater. Before you continue, you need to make the
