Alignment versus

Calibration

The term “Alignment” refers to the RSS’s ability to adjust transmitter power, deviation and reference oscillator on a test frequency. The term

“Calibration” refers to the RSS's ability to adjust transmitter power, deviation and reference oscillator on sixteen calibration points that span the entire frequency band.

When the radio is calibrated at the factory, it will perform within specifications on any customer frequency within the frequency band.

Therefore, any further alignment or calibration should not be necessary in the field. The only exception to this rule is the alignment of the reference oscillator. Because of aging characteristics of crystals, the frequency of the oscillator will change with time. This means that the reference oscillator needs to be re-aligned periodically. This is not true, however, for transmitter power and deviation.

Since transmitter power and deviation do not change with time, alignment for power and deviation is NOT recommended unless you feel it is absolutely necessary. If you find a radio that needs more than

2 Watts adjustment, first check your equipment, antenna loads and cables.

Note: Remember that setting a radio beyond its rated power will affect the radio's long term reliability.

If you find that a radio needs more than 500 Hz deviation adjustment, first check your equipment. If the radio is operating beyond these limits, it is recommended that calibration be performed instead of alignment.

The procedures for Alignment and Calibration are explained on the following pages.

Alignment of Radio

The ALIGNMENT screen has three functions available. These functions allow alignment of the reference oscillator (F5), transmitter

BB power (F7) and transmitter deviation (F3).

Pressing the F6 function key from the SERVICE screen will display the

BOARD REPLACEMENT MENU. There are four functions available to cover every PC board in the radio. Since the microcomputer controls the reference oscillator, transmit deviation and transmit RF power, it must learn the characteristics of each board in the radio. Each board has its own set of unique characteristics. This is due to component and manufacturing tolerances. Data that describes these tolerances are entered from labels attached to the boards or determined by measuring certain radio parameters.

If you press F2, the RSS will determine whether or not the EEPROM of the logic board has been initialized. If the EEPROM has not been initialized, model definition data must first be programmed into the

EEPROM according to the model of the radio. Upon detecting an noninitialized EEPROM, the RSS will display the BLANK BOARD

INITIALIZATION screen.

Six pieces of information are need to initialize the EEPROM: Product

Line, Model Name, Model Number, Frequency Range, Panel Number and Serial Number. Use the following procedure to initialize the

EEPROM:

1. With the cursor on the Product Line data field, select the correct product line of the radio using the up/down arrow keys. Examples of product lines are “MaxTrac”, “Radius” and “Trunked”.

2. Move the cursor to the Model Name data field and select the correct model name using the up/down arrow keys.

3. Move the cursor to the Model Number data field and select the correct model number using the up/down arrow keys.

4. Move the cursor to the Range data field and select the correct frequency range for this radio using the up/down arrow keys.

5. Move the cursor to the Panel Number field and enter the correct panel number for the Model of this radio. Refer to Appendix G to find the correct panel number for your radio.

83

84

6. Move the cursor to the Serial Number field and enter the serial number from the radio label and then press the Enter key. It is important that the information on the BLANK BOARD

INITIALIZATION screen is correct.

!

Caution

Once a non-initialized EEPROM is programmed with model definition data, it CANNOT be changed again. If the EEPROM is incorrectly initialized, the logic board will have to be replaced.

7. Review the information on the screen and edit the information if it is incorrect. Now press F8 to program the model definition data into the radio's EEPROM.

8. Press F10 to return to the BOARD REPLACEMENT MENU.

If the product line, model name, and/or frequency range of the radio you are trying to repair are not listed, then this version of the RSS is not compatible with this radio model.

Pressing F2 with an initialized EEPROM in the radio will display the

LOGIC BOARD AND RF BOARD REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE screen.

This screen displays a menu that is arranged in the order that the board should be calibrated. The status message box (upper right box) will tell you which calibration function key is active. Only one of the calibration function keys will be active at a time. The operation of each function key in this screen will be described in the following pages.
