The SELDEC-4 CCIR Selcall Decoder is housed in a ‘clear’ plastic case 130mm x 70mm x 45mm with connectors for Power, Audio Input, and Serial Output.
The decoder is designed for either a line input or the onboard electret microphone can be used.
The standard model decoder has a serial output which outputs the decoded data as a 16 digit string with a CR & LF on the end.
If the decoded string is shorter than 16 digits, the string has ‘spaces’ used to make up the 16 digits.
Please note that the SELDEC-4 will only decode selcalls with a length of 5 to 16 digits.
The serial data format used is: 9600 Baud, 8 Data Bits, 1 Stop Bit, No Parity
No Handshaking is used.
There is also a model available with an LCD 2 line 16 character display which also has the serial output.
The unit requires 9 Volts DC at 200 mA. (A suitable plugpack is supplied)
(A 9 Volt battery may be used if wanted for portable applications)
The unit also has LED’s for both ‘Audio Level’ and ‘Data Decode’.
There is also a switch to enable ‘Beep On Decode’ on the decoder.
The selcall tones are decoded according to the following table:
1981 Hz = 0
1124 Hz = 1
1197 Hz = 2
1275 Hz = 3
1358 Hz = 4
1446 Hz = 5
1540 Hz = 6
1640 Hz = 7
1747 Hz = 8
1860 Hz = 9
2400 Hz = A
930 Hz = B
2247 Hz = C
991 Hz = D
2110 Hz = Repeat +
1055 Hz = F
+ Note the repeat tone is used when 2 sequential digits are to be the same character…. The firmware decodes these and inserts the correct repeated character.
