Motorola DM1400 – Reliable, Cost Effective and Easy to Use
Keep your workers connected whether they’re delivering cargo, dispatching trucks or driving buses, trams and trains. The DM1400 analogue mobile radio is reliable, cost effective and easy to use, supporting advanced MOTOTRBO business-essential features such as transmit interrupt to prioritise critical communication.
Includes basic programming and a 24 month warranty. Upgrades available for extended warranty periods.
Analogue/Digital Compatibility
The Motorola DM1400 is an analog/digital mobile radio that offers motorola dm1400 the best of both worlds, giving you all the benefits of digital, such as better audio quality and longer battery life whilst remaining compatible with your existing analogue fleet. It also supports advanced MOTOTRBO(tm) business-essential features, such as transmit-interrupt capability to allow you to prioritise critical communication.
The DM1400 also features a microphone that is angled to optimise your voice pickup and an voice announcement system to verbally announce the channel you are transmitting on. Additionally the DM1400 is compliant with MIL-STD-810 C/D/E/F/G rating meaning it can be used in a wide variety of environments, whilst being safeguarded against dust and splashes of water.
The DM1400 is compatible with the radio management suite that allows you to program in bulk using a standardized template, allowing for error-free results and optimized performance. Furthermore the DM1400 is able to support dual capacity direct mode allowing you to double the capacity of your 12.5 kHz channels without the need for a repeater. The DM1400 is also IP54 rated, meaning it can be used with confidence in challenging work environments.
Voice Announcement System
Voice announcements (also known as Voice Prompts) allow two way radio users to automatically broadcast messages to all radios in the range. This allows the dispatcher, driver or operator to communicate with passengers, general public, tenants or employees in a timely and unambiguous manner.
These can be triggered manually or automatically, and may contain information such as a stop’s next departure time, major nearby intersections or important safety alerts. An integrated voice announcement system can also enable transit providers and authorities to initiate location specific, relevant information to commuters – such as bus next stops or delays in service.
Using the Sonetel web app you can create an announcement in minutes. To do so log in to your Sonetel account and move to the Voice apps section. If you don’t have an account, create one here. You can then connect the announcement to a phone number or unique SIP-address, which will be used when calling in. You can also set an optional greeting that plays to callers before connecting them to a voice menu, announcement or voicemail.
MIL-STD-810 C/D/E/F/G Rating
The dm1400 meets military standards (MIL-STD-810) for durability and reliability. This means that it can be used in the most challenging working environments. These radios are designed to withstand extreme shock and temperature. They also motorola walkie talkie pass a stringent drop test, which involves 26 separate drops from 4 feet at various angles. In addition, they are tested in various environmental conditions such as dust and water.
This Motorola digital mobile radio is ideal for delivery drivers, dispatch teams, bus drivers and taxi offices. Its 16 channel capacity ensures that everyone is kept connected and the numeric display displays the channel number simply and clearly. It is compatible with advanced MOTOTRBO business-essential features such as transmit interrupt capability which enables a supervisor to interrupt a conversation in order to prioritise critical communication.
Motorola TRBOnet Watch is a powerful software programme that enables you to remotely monitor and maintain a MOTOTRBO DMR network without the need for site visits, saving on time and travel costs. The DM1400 can be added to your existing Motorola or Hytera digital system to allow you to take advantage of these advanced remote monitoring and maintenance functions.
Dual Capacity Direct Mode
Motorola Solutions DM1400 radios support Dual Capacity Direct Mode. This feature uses the 2-slot TDMA DMR standard to double capacity on simplex channels – without the need for additional frequency allocations. It does this by enabling the time slots (transmit and receive) to be synchronized across multiple radios in the same simplex group, thereby using both slots on a single channel.
Motorola offers a variety of system options – from affordable conventional systems for small business to massive trunked systems that cover an entire country. And all the MOTOTRBO digital systems give you graceful scalability as your organization grows.
A delivery driver uses his DM1400 to connect with dispatch while on the road, using the visor microphone and steering wheel-mounted push-to-talk button to stay safe and focus on driving. And the bright, high-contrast alphanumeric display lets him see caller id information clearly at a glance. These durable radios are designed to keep you connected – even while delivering cargo, dispatching trucks or driving buses and trams. They meet industry-leading IP54 standards for dust and water resistance; are MIL-STD 810 compliant, and passed Motorola’s innovative Accelerated Life Test (ALT). They are also backed by Service from the Start, which includes multi-year peace of mind, fast repair turnaround times and expert telephone technical support.
Ttransmit Interrupt
Motorola DM1400 Digital mobile radio provides the features you need for efficient communication. Whether you are dispatching cargo, driving trucks or operating a bus or tram, you need to stay connected with your team. This analogue/digital radio is compatible with advanced MOTOTRBO business-essential features such as transmit interrupt to prioritize critical communications.
In order to use the interrupt feature, you need three things: a data structure to hold the data (a FIFO queue works well), a routine to insert a byte into the queue and a routine to get the next character from the queue. This is where the problems often start.
In block A the main program reads data from input device and saves it in mailbox. When the mailbox is full an interrupt is triggered. In block B the ISR reads from input device and saves it in Mail. The ISR then clears the interrupt flag and returns. The main program then reads from Mail and clears the interrupt flag again. The loop is repeated until the buffer is empty. This removes the CPU from blocking the interrupt and allows it to do other work.
