Design & Functions
3.1
General
The 108600 is a rugged, light weight transmission unit
for Eurocom networks, which converts digital signals
from EUROCOM A/B to EUROCOM C and visa
versa. It is used when the distance between relevant
equipment units is too long for EUROCOM A/B
transmissions, or when standard cable lengths are too
short. It is also used when equipment units with
different interface types are to be connected.
Note!
If EUROCOM A is connected directly to the
108600, this will operate as EUROCOM B,
but without encryption.

Figure 5: System Interconnect
When transmitting at the highest bit rate (2048 kbits/s)
and with the use of a dry field cable, the cable length
can be up to 1000 meters. At lower bit rates, the
cable length may be increased.

Mounting
The 108600 is primarily used in mobile installations
and has therefore a mechanical construction which is
prepared for field vehicle mounting and / or transport.

Connections
The 108600 is easily connected to the rest of
the communications network. Adjustments are not
necessary to make the unit operative.
All operations are done at the front panel. Connection
of field cable (EUROCOM C) is done through the
binding posts for data in / out at the rear of the unit.
All other connections are on the front panel.

Regeneration
If a field cable of more than 1000 meters is needed, a
regenerator consisting of two 108600’s must be
connected to the field cable after the first 1000 meters.
A power supply of 24 Volts DC must be available for
each unit. See Figure 9 for connection details.

Error Indicator
When the 108600 detects bit errors from the
EUROCOM C line, the error indicator (Red LED) in
the window on the front panel will light up for one
second after detection of the last bit error. Therefore
the LED may be constantly lit, even at a relatively low
bit error rate.
Even if the error indicator is constantly lit, it does not
necessarily have any significance for the ongoing
data transmission.
The error indicator will be constantly lit in the absence
of EUROCOM C signals, or if there is physical
damage to the EUROCOM C line (field cable).
4.5
C-Sync Indicator
The C-Sync indicator (Green LED) in the window on
the front panel will light up when synchronization is
obtained on the EUROCOM C line.
4.6
B-Sync Indicator
The B-Sync indicator (Green LED) in the window on
the front panel will light up when synchronization is
obtained on the EUROCOM A/B line.
4.7
Power Indicator
The Power indicator (Green LED) in the window on
the front panel will light up when 24 Volts DC is
applied and the unit is switched on.

Maintenance
5.1
General
Maintenance of the 108600 is limited to 1st echelon
maintenance. If the unit fails, it is not to be opened in
the field, but shall be returned for 3rd or 4th echelon
maintenance and troubleshooting.
5.2
Cleaning
The surface of the 108600 and connection cables are
to be cleaned with a soft cloth dampened with water.
Detergents and solvents are not to be used.
Cleaning of the electrical contacts may be made with
a dry brush or cloth. Contact cleanser may be used
when necessary.
5.3
Inspection
Check that the ON / OFF switch is working properly.
Connectors on the front panel that are not in use shall
have protective caps put on. The window on the front
panel shall be free from cracks or other defects, and
shall be transparent.
The cables shall be in good condition and not have
any cracks in the insulation, sharp bends, or be
otherwise damaged. The connectors shall be clean
and secure to their cables. Connector pins shall not
be bent or damaged, sockets shall be void of debris
and contaminants.
