General Safety Information
Lexycom Technologies, Inc. does not recommend the use of its products in life support
applications where the failure or malfunction of a component may directly threaten life or
lead to an injury.
Do not operate radio equipment near electrical blasting caps or in an explosive
atmosphere.
Do not operate radio transmitter unless all RF connectors are secure and any open
connectors are properly terminated.
Do not allow the antenna to come close to, or touch, the eyes, face, or any exposed body
parts while the radio is transmitting.
Be sure that your Tiamis-800 transceiver has been provided with sufficient DC voltage
and current.
All equipment should be installed according to the manufacturer’s instructions and in
accordance with all regulatory agencies.
Electro Static Discharge (ESD)
Static build up can cause serious damage to electronic devices when improperly handled.
Appropriate precautions should be taken when handling the transceiver(s).

FCC Notification
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following
two conditions: 1) This device may not cause harmful interference and 2) this device
must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired
operation.
This device must be operated as supplied by Lexycom Technologies, Inc. Any changes or
modifications made to the device without the express written approval of Lexycom
Technologies may void the user's authority to operate the device.
WARNING: The Tiamis-800 transceiver has the maximum transmitted output power of
1 Watt. It is required that the transmit antenna be kept at least 23 cm away
from nearby persons to satisfy FCC RF exposure requirements.
NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a
Class A digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits
are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference
in the commercial installations. This equipment generates, uses and can
radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance
with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely
to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to
correct the interference at his own expense.

Electronic FCC ID
The Tiamis-800 transceiver is a Software Defined Radio transceiver (SDR). Its FCC ID
label can be accessed by using a standard terminal program such as Hyper Terminal or
similar.
To access transceiver’s FCC ID, follow the steps below.
1. Connect one end of the data cable supplied to you by Lexycom to the RS232
diagnostics connector and the other end of the same cable to the programming
computer’s COM port.
2. Apply power to the transceiver by turning the power source On.
3. On the computer, start the Hyper Terminal or similar terminal program.
4. Push the Reset button on the interface board. The Hyper Terminal’s screen will show
FCC ID number (shown below).
Data cable is connected to
the RS232 diagnostics port.

1. Transceiver Installation
To install the transceiver follow the steps listed below.
Step 1. Install the Transceiver
Install the transceiver on a flat surface using the mounting holes in the
corners of the transceiver.
Step 2. Install the Antenna
Choose the location for the antenna wisely. Generally, the higher the
antenna is placed, the better RF link will be.
Keep in mind that the antennas close by to your antenna might potentially
create interference. Avoid locating your antenna in close proximity to
other RF equipment.
WARNING: Any antennas placed outdoors must be properly
grounded. Use extreme caution when installing
antennas and follow all instructions included with the
antennas.
Step 3. Install the Antenna Feedline
Depending upon the application, this step usually involves a preparation
and manufacturing of a conduit for the antenna feeder line, routing the
feeder, and assuring the proper feeder line terminations.
When done, connect antenna’s feedline to the transceiver’s RF connector.
Step 4. Install the Power for the Transceiver
Connect the four pin power cable to the power plug on the interface board
to the Tiamis-800 radio with the power adaptor and the four pin power
shown on the picture below.

Caution: The red wire on the four pin power cable should be
the closest to the RS232 data connector (see picture
below).
Make sure that your power source is adequate to power up the transceiver.
WARNING: The Tiamis-800 transceiver is design to operate in the
negative ground systems only.
Connect the red wire of the four pin power cable to the positive terminal
of your power source. Connect one of the black wires of the four pin
power cable to the ground terminal of your power source cable.
Step 5. Connect Computer to the Transceiver
Connect one end of the data cable supplied to you by Lexycom to the
RS232 diagnostics connector Tiamis-800, on the interface board. Connect
Data port 1, the other end of the same cable to the programming
computer’s COM port.
