SETUP CTCSS/DCS DECODE
The RI-200 controller is equipped with 6 independent tone panels for 6 different internal functions. These tone panels will be
discussed in greater detail later in the manual. The CTCSS/DCS LED will show when the controller is decoding a repeater
CTCSS tone, even though this current decode is not being used in the controller operation. The SYS, AUX, DTMF and
HOOK LED’s will flash at a rate of 4 times per second when these tone panel functions are also decoding tones. These 6 tone
panels have the following functions;
Tone panel #1, Repeater audio.
Tone panel #2, User commands.
Tone panel #3, S-Commands (commands for programming). This tone panel will also allow access of user commands.
Tone panel #4, Auxiliary input / output audio. Used when connecting two controllers together.
Tone panel #5, Telephone audio. Used to access, dial and pass audio to the telephone interconnect.
Tone panel #6, Dial Click. Used for dial click commands. See S-Command 49.
The controller comes programmed with 100 Hz CTCSS tone ready for use in all 6 tone panels. But before the controller will
use this tone for operation, you must enable each of the functions associated with each tone panel. See S-Commands 01 for
repeater, 14 for user and S-Commands, 34 for auxiliary, 49 for dial click and 72 for telephone access. You can enable or
disable any combination of the CTCSS tones or DCS codes. See section 4.5.20 for more details. The following example
assumes that you want to disable 100.0 Hz and enable 127.3 Hz for all tone panels. See the CTCSS tone table in section
4.5.20 for your specific tone number.

SET CTCSS/DCS ENCODE
The RI-200 controller comes pre-programmed with CTCSS/DCS regenerate mode on. This means that when an enabled
repeater CTCSS tone or DCS code is decoded, the same tone or code is re-encoded on the repeater output. If you need turn
off the encoder, or encode only one tone at all times, you will need to change this mode of S-Command 22. See section 4.5.22
for more details.

YOUR CONTROLLER SERIAL NUMBER
On the backside of the PC Board or panel you will find a label with your controller serial number. It is important to make
note of this number in a safe place. Use the space provided in this section to make note of the serial number. This number
can be used with S-Command 58 to reset the program or S-Command 59 to re-initialize the memory.
