RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE STATEMENTS
This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and if
not installed and used properly, that is, in strict accordance with the
manufacturer’s instructions, may cause interference to radio communication. It
has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A computing
device in accordance with the specifications in Subpart J of Part 15 of FCC rules,
which are designed to provide reasonable protection against such interference
when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. Operation of
this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause interference, in which case
the user at his own expense will be required to take whatever measures may be
necessary to correct the interference.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for
compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
This digital apparatus does not exceed the Class A limits for radio noise emission from
digital apparatus set out in the Radio Interference Regulation of Industry Canada.
Le présent appareil numérique n’émet pas de bruits radioélectriques dépassant les limites
applicables aux appareils numériques de classe A prescrites dans le Règlement sur le
brouillage radioélectrique publié par Industrie Canada.

1. Specifications
Transmission —
Data Rate (bps) Distance (miles/km)
19,200 1/1.6
9600 2/3.2
4800 3/4.8
2400 4/6.4
NOTE:The above specifications are valid for 24- or 26-AWG unshielded
twisted-pair telephone cable insulated by polyethylene with a
mutual capacitance of 0.083 µf/mile. Shielded twisted-pair cable
will reduce the distance to one-third of the table value, due to the
additional capacitance contributed by the cable’s shielding. Actual
distances may vary depending on your specific operating
equipment and the cable you use.
Protocol — Asynchronous
Operation — 4-wire, full duplex, point-to-point
Line Interface — Balanced current loop; Receive lines
are protected through optical isolators rated at 1500
volts
Equipment Interface — EIA-232/CCITT V.24 interface
with a hardware handshake (selected through use of an
internal strap). Carrier Detect (CD) true (high)
indicates operating short-haul modem at the remote

end of the loop. Interface is switch-selectable for
DTE/DCE configuration (pins 2 and 3 are reversed)
Connectors — (1) DB25 female, (1) 5-screw terminal
block
Diagnostics — Loopbacks provided by a front-panel
switch: Analog loopback on a 4-wire loop and digital
loopback on equipment interface (EIA-232)
Status Indication — Two bi-color LEDs indicate the
status of the transmitter and receiver. A green light
indicates a “low” logic level (-3 to -25V) on the EIA-232
interface; a red light indicates a “high” logic level (+3 to
+25V).
Operating Temperature — 32 to 112°F (0 to 50°C)
Humidity — 95%maximum, noncondensing

2. Introduction
The Short-Haul Modem Model B Async (SHM-B Async)
is an asynchronous full-duplex 4-wire line
driver/receiver which allows two EIA-232 devices to
communicate at distances of up to 4 miles and at data
speeds of up to 19,200 bps. In addition to the
transmitter and receiver circuits, the SHM-B Async
includes EIA-232 control line interfaces, status monitor
LEDs, and a loopback switch. The SHM-B is available in
both a standalone version (ME800A) and a rackmount
version (ME805-C). Models ME800A-R2 and ME805-C-
R2 include cables.
The SHM-B is designed to operate over a 4-wire metallic
circuit. Optimum performance is obtained with twisted-
pair cable (see specifications). Most types of twisted-pair
cable may be used, often with little or no performance
degradation.
The SHM-B Async is designed for maximum operator
safety. There are no voltages greater than 12 VDC or 16
VAC present on the circuit board of the unit. The
Receive lines are protected from potential ground
differences through optical isolators rated at 1500 volts.

3. Installation
Installation involves three basic steps: four-wire
connections; EIA-232 connection; switch settings.
3.1 Four-Wire Connections
Figure 1 shows the location of the terminal block on the
circuit board. Refer to Figure 2 to make the proper
connections between two SHM-B units.
NOTE: Transmit + (TX+) on one modem is wired
to Receive + (RX+) on the other modem; Transmit -
(TX-) is wired to Receive - (RX-). A ground
connection is optional.
1. If the unit is assembled, separate the top and
bottom panels at the front of the unit.
2. Push the rear connector to force out the front
panel and printed circuit board.
3. Route the four-wire cable through the open hole in
the rear panel of the enclosure.
4. Strip each of the four wires about 1⁄8".
