UGA18X Universal Encoder/Decoder Module | Signal Processing for Radio & Alarm Systems

The UGA18X Universal Encoder/Decoder Module is a highly flexible signal processing module for radio communication and alarm systems. It supports multiple tone encoding and decoding formats, making it ideal for public safety, dispatch systems, and industrial automation. The module integrates with FunkTronic products or third-party systems with compatible software and hardware.

Key Features:

• Supports Various Signaling Standards – Processes single-tone, 5-tone sequences, and FFSK telegrams based on ZVEI, FMS, and BOS regulations.
• Bidirectional Signal Processing – Capable of both encoding and decoding multiple tone formats.
• Customizable Signal Parameters – User-defined tone lengths, frequencies, and sequences via EEPROM programming.
• Flexible Connectivity – Integrates via a 10-pin connector, supporting microphone input and audio output routing.
• Programmable via RS232 Interface – Allows user configuration using an optional RS232Ad1 adapter.
• Automatic Acknowledgment for FMS Telegrams – Enables automatic response to control center messages.
• Configurable Baud Rate – Supports 4800 and 14400 baud for serial communication.

Configuration & Programming:

The UGA18X module can be configured via EEPROM registers for precise control over signal generation and decoding:

• Tone Duration: Adjustable in 5ms steps.
• EEPROM-Configurable Frequencies: Custom tone sequences can be defined.
• RS232 Programming: Use an external PC with HyperTerminal or dedicated FunkTronic software.

Connection & Integration:

The module connects via a 10-pin interface, enabling direct integration into existing radio and alarm systems.
