General features
The Major 4a is the newer design of the well kown Major 4. The Display was replaced by an alpha-
numeric LC Display with background illumination. A gooseneck microphone with high dynamics has
come to it. The programming possibilities were essentially widened and strongly simpli ed by clear
text menu structure.
There are two sockets for headsets. One is normaly used for a PTT foot button. The 7 digital outputs
are normaly used for channel switching or also other functions. For operation a 12 volt power supply
is necessary.
The Major 4a can be programmed via the serial interface or keypad. It is also possible to connect a
printer or terminal on the serial interface. For printers with parallel interface is an optionaly interface
available.

All sockets shown from rear few.
All audio in/outputs equiped with transformers.
PIN 5 is for supply (+12V) of external devices
(LIM-AC, FT634C, FT633AC).
Attention, not for supply of radio, because of
only 200 mA output current.
To the RS232 socket you can connect a printer
for messages.
There are two sockets for connecting a headset.
One is for connecting headset, the other for use
of external PTT-Button.
The digital PINs are for use as in- or outputs. Most
they are used for remote control of channels.

Connecting Major 4a (5a) --> Two-Way-Radio via multiwire
All audio in/outputs of Major 4a (5a) are equiped with transformers. No PINs are grounded, therefore
one must be connected to ground at the two-way-radio. We suggest to ground PIN 1 and 8 at the
radio.
PIN 5 is for supply (+12V) of external devices (LIM-AC, FT634C, FT633AC). Attention, not for
supply of radio, because of only 200 mA output current.
Connecting Major 4a (5a) --> Line Interface LIM-AC
The line interface LIM-AC is simply connected via a 8-wire patch cable (like used for ethernet) to the
Major 4a (5a).

The clock is already adjus-
ted in factory. Note down
the values for digital and
analog before changing.
Biger values accelerate and
smaller values slows down
the clock.
Change in digital makes
more alteration then in ana-
log. Fine adjustment should
be done in analog, step by
step.

Hardware con guration
The Major 4a (5a) is for use on 2- or 4-wire line. For 2-wire line jumper 1 have to be set. Remove
jumper 1 for 4-wire line.
2/4-wire con guration
2-wire con guration with FT630
For remote control of radio over longer distance it is adviceable to use a 2-wire line with the FT630.
The FT630 transmitts and receives the PTT and SQUELCH state via DC.
If there is no DC way on the line or also remote channel control necessary, we suggest to use FT634C
or FT633AC.

The digits in register 174 activates the following
functions:
1. digit = 2 --> function 2 - transmit call
sequence
2. digit = 2 --> short call
3. digit = F --> input necessary
4. digit = 0 --> 5 tone sequence
5. digit = 1 --> not applicable
Follow next steps to view or change the values in
register 174 and 175.

The line „Code“ shows the current programming.
Overwrite with your values.
Key F3 escapes without any changes.
Key F4 stores the displayed values.
Each button of the Major 4a can be programmed
with any function. Register 174 and 175 has to
be programmed with the appropriate values of the
short call button (Z-Button).
Register 174 is for the function after short
activation of Z-Button and register 175 after
longer activation.
Register 174 is coded with 22F01 and register
175 with 00000.
The leading zero in register 175 disables action
after long pushing Z-Button.
