DESCRIPTION

Alignment procedures for the transmitter and receiver.

Troubleshooting flow charts and waveforms.

The service section of this manual contains the diagnostic routines, and other maintenance information to service this radio. The service section includes:

System interconnections.

Mechanical layout.

Disassembly procedures.

Replacement of IC’s chip capacitors and resistors.

INITIAL ADJUSTMENT

After the radio has been installed (as described in the

Installation Manual), the following adjustments should be made by a certified electronics technician.

Printed in U.S.A.

LBI-31511

TRANSMITTER ADJUSTMENT MAINTENANCE

The adjustment for the transmitter includes measuring the forward and reflected power and adjusting the antenna length for optimum ratio, then setting the transmitter to rated power output.

Next, measure the frequency and modulation and record these measurements for future reference. For the complete transmitter adjustment, refer to the Alignment Procedure (see Table of

Contents).

PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE

To ensure high operating efficiency and to prevent mechanical and electrical failures from interrupting system operations, routine checks should be made of all mechanical and electrical parts at regular intervals. This preventive maintenance should include the checks as listed in the table of Maintenance Checks.

MAINTENANCE CHECKS

CONNECTIONS - Ground connections and connections to the voltage source should be periodically checked for tightness. Loose or poor connections to the power source will cause excessive voltage drops and faulty operation. When ground connections are not made directly to the battery, the connection from the battery to vehicle chassis must be checked for low impedance. A high impedance may cause excessive voltage drips and alternator noise problems.

INTERVAL

6 Months

As

Required

X

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM - Check the voltage regulator and alternator or generator periodically to keep the electrical system within safe and economical operating limits. Overvoltage is indicated when the battery loses water rapidly. Usage of 1 or 2 ounces of water per cell per week is acceptable for batteries in continuous operation. A weak battery will often cause excessive noise or faulty operation.

X

X MECHANICAL INSPECTION - Since mobile units are subject to constant shock and vibration, check for loose plugs, nuts, screws and parts to make sure that nothing is working loose. Be sure that all screws are properly torqued.

ANTENNA - The antenna, antenna base and all contacts should be kept clean and free from dirt or corrosion. If the antennas or its base should become coated or poorly grounded, loss of radiation and a weak signal will result.

ALIGNMENT - The transmitter and receiver meter readings should be checked periodically, and the alignment "touched up" when necessary. Refer to applicable Alignment Procedure and troubleshooting sheet for typical voltage readings.

FREQUENCY CHECK - Check transmitter frequency and deviation. Normally, these checks are made when the unit is first put into operation, after the first six months and once a year thereafter.

8.

Carefully lift the PA board up off the pins extending upward from the TRS board.

NOTE

Note the position of the copper washer spacer under transistor Q1. Be sure that this spacer is in place when replacing the board.

PA TRANSISTOR REPLACEMENT

WARNING

The RF Power Transistors used in the transmitter contain Beryllium Oxide, a TOXIC substance. If the ceramic or other encapsulation is opened, crushed, broken or abraded, the dust may be hazardous if inhaled. Use care in replacing transistors of this type.

To replace the PA RF transistors:

1.

Unsolder one lead at a time with a 50 watt soldering iron. Use a scribe or X-acto® knife to hold the lead away from the printed circuit board until the solder cools.

2.

Remove retaining screws and lift out the transistor.

Remove any old solder from the printed circuit board with a vacuum desoldering tool. Special care should be taken to prevent damage to the printed circuit board runs because part of the matching network is included in the base and collector runs.

3.

Trim the new transistor leads (if required) to the lead length of the removed transistor. The letter "C" on the top of the transistor also indicates the collector.

4.

Apply a coat of silicon grease to the transistor mounting surface. Place the transistor in the mounting hole.

Align the leads as shown on the Outline Diagram.

Then replace the transistor mounting screws using moderate torque.

5.

Solder the leads to the printed circuit pattern. Start at the inner edge of mounting hole and solder the remaining length of transistor lead to the board. Use care not to use excessive heat that causes the printed wire board runs to lift up from the board. Check for shorts and solder bridges before applying power.

To replace the PA board:

1.

Perform the above procedures in reverse order, being careful to realign all interconnecting pins and sleeves. Be sure the antenna gasket between the antenna jack and front casting is positioned properly.

CAUTION

Failure to solder the transistor leads as directed may result in the generation of RF loops that could damage the transistor r may cause low power output.

LBI-31511

REMOVING IC’s

3.

Remove excess solder with a vacuum solder extractor.

4.

Carefully remove the epoxy adhesive and excess flux to prevent damage to the printed board.

Removing IC’s (and most other soldered-in components) can be easily accomplished by using a vacuum desoldering tool.

To remove an IC, heat each lead separately on the solder side and remove the old solder with the desoldering tool.

CAUTION

The CMOS Integrated Circuit devices used in this equipment can be destroyed by static discharges. Before handling one of these devices, the serviceman should discharge himself by touching the case of a bench test instrument that has a 3-prong power cord connected to an outlet with a known good earth ground. When soldering or desoldering a CMOS device, the soldering iron should also have a 3-prong power cord connected to an outlet with a known good earth ground. A batteryoperated soldering iron may be used in place of the regular soldering iron.

To Replace Chip Components

1.

Using as little solder as possible, "tin" one end of the component and one of the pads on the printed wiring board.

2.

Place the "tinned" end of the component on the "tinned" pad on the board and simultaneously touch the component and the pad with a well "tinned" soldering iron while pressing the component down on the board.

3.

Place the "tinned" soldering iron on the other end of the component and the pad simultaneously. Apply solder to the top of the end of the component until the solder starts to flow. Use as little solder as possible while getting a good joint.

4.

After the component has cooled, remove all flux from the component and printed wiring board area with alcohol.

PROGRAMMING AND ALIGNMENT

REPLACING CHIP COMPONENTS

Replacement of chip components should always be done with a temperature-controlled soldering iron, using a controlled temperature of 700

°

F (371

°

C). However, do NOT touch black metal film of the resistors or the ceramic body of capacitors with the soldering iron.

The following procedure describes how to change the frequencies in the radio EEPROM(S) for new user frequencies.

Also included is an alignment procedure guide to assist you in aligning the radio after the frequencies have been changed. The alignment procedure should be performed in the order given and it must be performed prior to putting the radio back in service.

PROGRAMMING

NOTE

The metallized end terminations of the parts may be touched with the soldering iron without causing damage.

To Remove Chip Components

1.

Grip the component with tweezers or needle nose pliers.

2.

Alternately heat each end of the chip in rapid succession until solder flows, and then remove and discard the chip.

The DELTA-S UHF Narrowband radio may be programmed using the TQ-2310 Suitcase Programmer, the 4EX22A10 Hand

Programmer or by a Personal Computer. The procedures for using the programmers are covered in detail in LBI-31263 (TQ-

2310) and LBI-31275 (4EX22A10). TQ-3334 provides the software and programming instructions for programming with a PC.

When programming the radio, consideration must be given to the individual band split for the T/R/S board. See the Programming tips on the following page and the individual band splits listed below.

Both the Channel Guard board and Channel Guard extender may be removed and set aside during servicing. While servicing the radio install P608 to connect VOL/SQ/HI.

After the radio has been programmed with new user frequencies, the radio re-alignment procedure is as follows:

UNDER SYNTHESIZER AND TRANSMITTER

ALIGNMENT PROCEDURE

1.

Check 9 volt regulator.

2.

Adjust the synthesizer transmitter VCO.

3.

Adjust the synthesizer receiver VCO.

NOTE

Typical voltage readings are provided on the Schematic

Diagram for reference when troubleshooting.

LBI-31511

MICROCOMPUTER

When servicing the microcomputer/synthesizer circuitry it is sometimes desirable to force the microcomputer into specific operating modes. Following are some tips that allow you to initiate these modes.

To force the microcomputer to continually try to reload the synthesizer. This mode will enable you to check the serial data, clock, channel change pulse and enable signals to the synthesizer. Grounding the lock detect line into the microcomputer at U703-8.

To stop the microcomputer from running, disable the watchdog timer by shorting the collector and emitter of Q714 and ground the single step line at U705-5.

When servicing the radio be sure that no solder buildup has occurred on the chassis or shield.

To assure a high degree of resistance to microphonics be sure to replace exactly, all hardware removed. Be sure that all mounting screws are properly torqued and shields in place.

Refer to Mechanical Layout Diagram.

NOTE

Loose or rubbing parts, especially in the VCO area are particularly sensitive and can cause microphonics. Again be certain all hardware is properly installed and torqued.

MICROPHONICS

TEST FREQUENCIES

Synthesized radios tend to be sensitive to shock and vibration, creating microphonics. The construction of the

DELTA-S, radio with its die cast aluminum frame, cast shields, and multiple board mounting screws, provides a high degree of immunity. When removing either printed circuit board or the shields, note the exact location and position of all mounting hardware including rubber padding and bracket (if included).

If the EEPROM is not custom programmed to the customers specified personality, then a standard test program is provided. The EEPROM is programmed on channels 1 through

16 including tone and digital Channel Guard and carrier control timer. Table 1 identifies the programmed test frequencies.

TEST PROCEDURE

These Test Procedures are designed to help you to service a receiver that is operating -- but not properly. The problems encountered could be low power, poor sensitivity, distortion, limiter not operating properly and low gain. By following the sequence of test steps starting with Step 1, the defect can be quickly localized. Once the defective stage is pin-pointed, refer to the "Service Check" listed to correct the problem.

Additional corrective measures are included in the Troubleshooting Procedure. Before starting with the Receiver Test

Procedures, be sure the receiver is tuned and aligned to the proper operating frequency.

TEST EQUIPMENT REQUIRED

Distortion Analyzer

Signal Generator

6 dB attenuation pad

Audio Isolation Transformer

B. Place the RANGE switch on the Distortion analyzer in the 200 to 2000 Hz distortion range position (1000 Hz filter in the circuit). Tune the filter for minimum reading or null on the lowest possible scale (100%, 30%, etc.)

C. Place the RANGE switch SET LEVEL position (filter out of the circuit) and adjust the input LEVEL control for a +2 dB reading on a mid range (30%).

D. Set signal generator output to 0.3 µ

V. Switch the

RANGE control from SET LEVEL to the distortion range Readjust Distortion Analyzer SET LEVEL as required until a 12 dB difference (+2 dB to -10 dB) is obtained between the SET LEVEL and distortion range positions (filter out and filter in).

E.

The 12 dB difference (Signal plus Noise and Distortion to noise plus distortion ratio) is the "usable" sensitivity level. The sensitivity should be less than rated 12 dB

SINAD specifications with an audio output of at least

6 watts (49 Volts RMS across 4.0 ohm receiver load using the Distortion Analyzer as a Voltmeter).

F.

Leave all controls as they are and all equipment connected if the Modulation Acceptance Bandwidth test is to be performed.

SERVICE CHECK

If the sensitivity level is more than the rated 12 dB

SINAD, check the alignment of the RF stages as directed in the Alignment Procedure.

STEP 3

MODULATION ACCEPTANCE BAND-

WIDTH (IF BANDWIDTH)

If STEPS 1 and 2 check out properly, measure the bandwidth as follows:

A. Set audio to 10% of rated output.

B. Set the Signal Generator output for twice the microvolt reading obtained in the 12 dB SINAD measurement.

C. Set the Range control on the Distortion Analyzer in the

SET LEVEL position (1000 Hz filter out of the circuit), and adjust the input LEVEL control for a +2 dB reading on the 30% range.

D. While increasing the deviation of the Signal Generator, switch the RANGE control from SET LEVEL to distortion range until a 12 dB difference is obtained between the SET LEVEL and distortion range readings

(from +2 dB to -10 dB).

E.

The deviation control reading for the 12 dB difference is the Modulation Acceptance Bandwidth of the receiver. It should be more than

±

7.0 kHz.

SERVICE CHECK

If the Modulation Acceptance Bandwidth test does not indicate the proper width, check the synthesizer frequency and then refer to the Alternate IF Alignment

Procedure.

TEST PROCEDURES

These Test Procedures are designed to assist you in servicing a transmitter that is operating -- but not properly. Once a defect is pin-pointed, refer to the Transmitter Troubleshooting Procedure. Before starting, be sure that the transmitter is tuned and aligned to the proper operating frequency.

TEST PROGRAMMING

In DELTA-S radios, in which the EEPROM is not custom programmed, the EEPROM may be programmed with the personality similar to the ones shown in Table 1 below. See data on production tag with radio for exact data.

Table 1 - Programmed Test Frequencies

CAUTION

Before bench testing the radio, be sure or the output voltage characteristics of your bench power supply.

To protect the transmitter power output transistors from possible instant destruction, the following input voltages must not be exceeded:

Transmitter unkeyed:

Transmitter keyed (50 ohms resistive load):

20 Volts

18 Volts

Transmitter Keyed (no load or non-resistive load): 14 Volts

These voltages are specified at the normal vehicle battery terminals of the radio and take the voltage drop of standard cables into account. The voltage limits shown for a non-optimum load is for "worst case" conditions. For antenna mismatches likely to be encountered in practice, the actual limit will approach the 18 Volt figure.

Routine transmitter tests should be performed at EIA Standard Test Voltages of (13.6 Vdc for loads of 6 to 16 amperes; 13.4

Vdc for loads of 16 to 36 amperes). Input voltages must not exceed the limits shown, even for transient peaks of short duration.

Many commonly used bench power supplies cannot meet these requirements for load regulation and transient voltage suppression. Bench supplies which employ "brute force" regulation and filtering (such as Lapp Model 73) may be usable when operated in parallel with a 12 volt automotive storage battery.

TRANSMITTER FREQUENCY

tor.

ADJUSTMENT

First check the frequency to determine if any adjustment is required. The frequency should be set with a frequency meter or counter with an absolute accuracy that is 5 to 10 times better than the tolerance to be maintained, and with the entire radio as near as possible to an ambient temperature of 25

°

C

(77

°

F).

The oscillator frequency should be set at 25

°

C ambient temperature. In the range of 15

°

C to 40

°

C, if the frequency deviates more than

±

1 PPM, it may be reset to

±

1 PPM, respectively.

NOTE

Refer to Figures 3 and 4 Frequency Correction Fac-

Adjust L352 to set the transmit frequency while monitoring RF output jack J2 through a 30 dB decoupler. If adjusting

L352 does not result in setting transmitter on frequency, remove synthesizer top cover, set L352 two turns from top of coil form, then adjust course frequency control L354 on frequency. Replace cover. This procedure would be necessary if repair/replacing parts in oscillator circuit.

±

2.0

kHz. Note and maintain this voltage level while switching the output frequency to 10 Hz. Adjust REF

OSC Deviation Control R366 starting from the fully clockwise position for

±

2.0 kHz deviation. Remove the modulation.

5.

Select a channel with Channel Guard nearest the center frequency and adjust R22 on the Channel

Guard option board to

±

0.65 kHz (tone or digital

Channel Guard).

ACCESSING CENTER TUNE FREQUENCY

When a radio is factory programmed for less than 16 channels, channel 16 is programmed for transmit and receive center tune frequency.

To access center tune frequency use available control unit and select channel 16.

The MOD ADJUST controls are adjusted to the proper setting before shipment and normally do not require readjustment. This setting permits approximately 75% modulation for the average voice level. The audio peaks which would cause overmodulation are clipped by the modulation limiter. The limiter, in conjunction with the de-emphasis network, instantaneously limits the slope of the audio wave to the modulator, thereby preventing overmodulation while preserving intelligibility.

NOTE

Under normal operation, in radios built prior to January 1989, the microcomputer will not access this channel. The following tests accesses Channel 16 to assure its availability for tuning purposes.

1.

Apply +12 Vdc through a 10K resistor to J604-

3, then turn the radio on. This tells the microcomputer to always access Channel 16.

2.

To select the transmit center tune frequency, press the PTT switch (J601-11). Release the

PTT switch to select the receiver center frequency.

3.

To exit this mode remove power from J604-3 and momentarily remove power from the radio.

±

0.05 Vdc. Monitor J602-3 with a digital voltmeter and adjust R703.

ALIGNMENT PROCEDURE

Synthesizer TX and RX Vco

The TX and TX VCO voltage adjustments are described by the following steps 1-5. After the lock detect light D713 goes out (step 1 and 3) each VCO is adjusted after selecting the appropriate channel for the maximum reading indicated.

If the light is not out, all readings are meaningless.

As long as the highest operating frequency (VCO voltage) does not exceed the maximum meter reading and the lowest operating frequency (VCO voltage) is not less than the minimum meter reading, the adjustment is proper.

When the two frequency spread is minimal it is acceptable to center tune the VCO voltage between the maximum and minimum meter readings.

If the highest operating frequency is at the low end of the frequency split (example 451.025 MHz on the 450-470 MHz split), the VCO reading may never reach the maximum. Therefore adjust the lowest operating frequency to a VCO voltage above the minimum reading.
