This chapter contains an equipment description, equipment supplied and required, storage data, tools and test equipment, and a summary ofsafcty precautions. 1-2 EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION. The T—4150/80 (figure 1-1) is a multi-mode digital signal processing (DSP) cxciter with a frequency range from 1.6 to 30 MHZ, The exciter contains individually shielded modules mounted in an EV: by B’A-inch desktop chassis. Two T- 4180 exciters may be fastened together (using an optional dual rack—mount kit) to construct a standard 19-inch rack- mount configuration, The exciter is controlled by a 19-button keypad and main adjustment knob used to select the exciter parameters. Five "sofi keys" work in conjunction with the vacuum fluorescent digital display immediately above the soft keys. In addition to soft key selections, the vacuum fluorescent digital display provides a variety ofdata including channel, modulation mode, frequency, bandwidth, gain, local/remote control, an RF level meter, and an AF level meter. Additional information is displayed depending on soft key selections. By proper selection of parameters, the exciters can generate a wide varietyofsignals. These include: on/off keyed (CW), amplitude modulation (AM), upper sideband (USE), upper sideband - full carrier (USch), upper sideband - partial carrier (USch), lower sideband (LSB), lower sideband - full carrier (LSch), lower sideband - partial carrier (LSch), independent sideband (lSB) (suppressed carrier and independent), frequency shift keyed (FSK). frequency modulation (FM), and frequency modulation facsimile (FMfax). The selected audio input is provided on a 600 ohm balanced line. Normal and alternate (LSB audio when 153 is selected) audio are simultaneously input on separate 600 ohm balanced lines. A MIC/KEY jack on the front panel provides for connection of an external microphone or CW key, The audio level is automatic. The audto is automatically applied to the correct modulator depending on the modulation mode. However, when 158 modulation is Rev 8 selected, microphone audio is directed to the normal audio channel only. Either an internal or exlernal reference frequency may be used. The external reference frequency is automatically sensed and used when connected to the rear panel, The exciters may be remotely controlled by any suitable bus controller using either an RS-232, or RS-422 serial interface bus, or an ”SEE—488 parallel interface bus. 1-3 SPECIFICATIONS.

NOTE (CONT): The Request to Send (RTS) and Clear to Send (CTS) handshake circuits are generally not used when the line drivers are configured for bus sharing operation. When the line drivers are not configured for bus sharing, the operation ofthc CTS and RTS lines is as follows: When a exciter is ready to accept remote control commands it will set the RTS circuit true. When it has received a message and is processing the commands, it will set the RTS circuit false until it is ready to receive another command. The exciter will only transmit messages to an extemal device when its CTS circuit is held true by the external device. The external device may stop the transmitted output ofthc exciter (to prevent buffer overflow for example) by taking the CTS circuit false. When the CTS circuit is again taken true, the exciter will begin transmitting where it left off. NOTE: When bus sharing is enabled from the exciter front panel, the state ofthe CTS circuit is ignored. The number ofT»4 lOO series exciters that may be connected to a single controller is dependent on the serial bus type and the line driver characteristics ofthe controller. but in general is at least 10 exciters for RS-232 operation and at least 30 - exciters for RS—422 operation. Dual chassis models count as two exciters. The input resistance ofthe RS-232 line exciters is approximately 5000 Ohms. The exciter contains no termination resistors for the RS-422 bus. lfconnected directly to a computer interface also configured as DTE, a reversal oftransmit and receive data (TXD and RXD or SD and RD) and request to send and clear to send (RTS and CTS or RS and CS) lines may be necessary. The Request to Send and Clear to Send lines may be jumpered together on the mating connector if required by the system. These reversals orjumpers are normally not required it” units are connected through a modem. lfa T4 1 00 series exciter is to be connected to another DTE device as its controller, the circuits must be swapped for proper operation as follows: »4 erie Exciter cher 2 EDevice Transmitted Data ---------- > ----------- Received Data Received Data Request to Send Clear to Send Clear to Send Request to Send Signal Ground ----------------------- Signal Ground Transmitted Data CAUTION Refer to note below EEPCLR command in table 3-5.

The first character ofa transmission will always be STX (start oftext, ASCII code 02). The second, third. and founh characters will contain the address in decimal, with the most significant digit first, ofthe exciter sending the transmission or to which it is being sent by the controller, The address code for any exciter may be any number from 000 to 254 provided that it is not used by any other unit connected to the bus. Address 255 is reserved for "broadcasting" to all exciters on the bus (refer to para 3-86). The controller has no address. All three digits must be transmitted. Addresses less than 100 must be filled with ‘0' digits on the left. The address is set from the front panel with the soft key sequence CONFIG— REMOTE- ADDRS. The fifth character ofthe transmission is the beginning ofthe data field, This field may contain as few as one or as many as 250 characters. The data field may contain one or more messages. lfmore than one message is contained in the data field, each message must be separated from the next by one or more blank (space) characters. Any number of messages may be included in the data field provided that the maximum number ofcharacters is not exceeded There are, however, certain request for status commands that may not be mixed with any other request for status commands in the same transmission. These messages will be noted as such in table 3—6. The final character ofthe transmission will be a CR (carriage return). This character will follow the last character of the data field. This transmission above from the controller is addressed to the exciter with address l23 and contains two messages: "F23987600" and "MC". When sending messages to the exciter that require numeric values as arguments. it is not necessary to include leading zeros. For example. to send a message to change the frequency to 5.67 MHz. the command message "F5670000" may be given in place of "F05670000". When a request for a status message is made, the reply will always include any leading zeros so that the value may be extracted by counting characters in the message.

The ENABLE signal also latches the data into the shift register for the audio section. The data latched into the PLL Circuits is used to synthesize the desired frequencies from the to MHz reference. One bit in the shift register selens the correct audio source 4-182 Reference FI'L'quL'nCL The reference frequency source is automatically selected by a detector that senses the presence ofan external reference signal Ifthe external Rev B 14150180 TECHNICAL MANUAL reference is detected, it is used as the basis for the frequency generation, If the external reference is not sensed, the internal oscillator (TCXO or optional OCXO) is used for frequency generation, A potentiometer is used to adjust the internal reference ifnecessary. One path of the internal or external reference frequency signal is amplified and applied to the RF Analog module. The other path is split and used as the reference frequency for the fine and step loop PLL circuits, 44.8.3 7rd LQ generation The output loop circuits produce the 3rd LO signal for the third mixer circuits using the FINE LOOP and STEP LOOP inputs. The frequency of the output loop VCO is controlled by mixing the VCO output with the STEP LOOP frequency. The resultant difference signal is frequency and phase compared with the FINE LOOP frequency to produce the output PLL DC control voltage. The output loop VCO signal takes two paths. One path is filtered and becomes the 3RD LO signal. The other path is mixed with the STEP LOOP signal, producing a difference frequency. The difference frequency is filtered through a lowpass filter and applied to a phase/frequency detector circuit through a wrong-side lock detector. The wrong-side lock detector ensures the output frequency locks only to the difference ofthe STEP LOOP minus the VCO output frequency. lfthe VCO frequency is higher than the step loop frequency. the circuit disables the difference frequency which causes the DC correction voltage to drive the VCO to a lower frequency. The phase/frequency detector compares the difference frequency with the FINE LOOP frequency and develops a DC control voltage through a too; filter keeping the VCO on frequency. The signal leaves the module as the SRD LO at4 055 - 70.455 MHZ in 1 kHz steps.

CORRECTIVE MAINTENANCE 5-5 TROUBLESHOOTING. 5-51 Trgub/eshooling Philosophy. Certain assumptions are made concerning the troubleshooting approach as applied to the exciter as follows: 1. All poinHo-point wiring is correct, Therefore, no malfunction is the result of a wiring (or cable connector) fault. NOTE Suspected failure of cables or connectors require visual inspection and continuity tests using the appropriate diagrams. See FO-3, and FO—4 for interconnecting. schematic, and motherboard ’ pin assignments. 2. Malfunctions are non-interactive. Each symptom of a problem is caused by a single malfunction and no additional failures occurred during the troubleshooting process. 3. Multiple faults can be isolated if they are non-interactive. 4. Preventive maintenance has been performed (Section 1). 5-52 Built-In Tests. The T-4lSO/SU provides three types of testing: poweron selftest (POST). built-in test equipment (BITE). and built-in test (BIT) Each is discussed below 5~5.2.I m The POST is performed automatically each time the exciter is powered on. Under firmware control, the POST sequences through a series oftests that checks the Control and DSP section ol'the Digital module, then activates the BITE check. lfa failure is detected, the front panel display will show (ht? failure, After recording the failure data. press any key on the front panel keypad to continue with operation. Depending on the failure, exciter functions may or may not be possible. Ifa BIT fault is detected after the POST, the front panel will show the fault indication in the display, POST results are also reponed over the remote control bus. 5-5.2.Z w The BITE check is controlled by the firmware and is a sequence that checks the signal path using eight different frequencies. This test exercises the entire exciter signal path. Different frequencies are used to check each postselector filter. The BITE check is automatically performed during the POST, or may be selected manually at any time from the front panel, or the remote control bus. 5-5.2.3 M During normal exciter operation, fault detectors are operating in the background. Table 5-1 lists the fault detectors. their locatio and the fault signal sent to the Control section in the Digital module Ifa fault is detected, the Control section stores the information in memory. causes the fault indication to be shown on the display, and sends the fault information over the remote control bus.
