This paging board is for transmitters that will be connected to an external frequency standard. It is a DFSK Modulator, suitable for POCSAG or similar paging data formats. Reference frequency stability is determined by the stability of the external standard. The PCB is not designed for use with 66 to 88MHz equipment. DATA DATA Lock detect 10 Coaxial socket (external reference frequency) 2004f_01 Newer T800 transmittters have a Micromatch connector in the audio processor compartment. This simplifies installation. This fitting instruction describes how to fit the PCB into existing T800 transmitters. You need to be proficient in the soldering of SMD components. It may be preferable to obtain a T800 transmitter already fitted with this board from your Tait dealer or national sales office. Parts Required The T800-32-0010 kit should contain the following items: 1 x T800-32-0010 DFSK modulator board 1 x terminated coaxial cable 1 x T800-03-1000 auxiliary D-range kit 4 x M3 x 8 Taptite Pan Torx screws 1 x coaxial socket 1 x 47 ohm resistor SMD 0805 1 x terminated 8-way ribbon cable 1 x terminated 4-way ribbon cable Figure 8 Pinouts for D-Range 2 Installation Caution: The radio must be powered off for this modification. After modification, do not remove the coaxial lead from the socket unless the radio is powered off. 1. Remove the TCXO module from the synthesiser compartment of the T800 transmitter. 2. Fit the miniature coaxial socket (=SK710) and 47 Ohm SMD resistor (=R705) to the PCB pads provided beneath the TCXO, as shown in Figure 1. 2 T800-32-0010 Fitting Instructions 419-83210-00 419-83210-00 T800-32-0010 Fitting Instructions 4. Using an AC-coupled oscilloscope set to 50 mV/div, observe the signal at TP2. Adjust RV2 until the triangle wave amplitude has been minimised. 5. Apply 600 Hz to the DATA line. Use a modulation analyser to observe the frequency deviation on the output of the transmitter. Adjust RV1 to get 4.5 kHz deviation on the modulation analyser. 6. Observe the transmitter’s VCO control line using an AC-coupled oscilloscope set to at least 20 mV/div and 0.5ms/div. Vary the input frequency down to low frequencies (for example 100 Hz) and check that the control line still has a good square wave. Note: You may have to re-adjust RV2 and RV1 alternately to achieve a square wave on the VCO control line and a 4.5 kHz deviation. Figure 7 shows a typical 100 Hz VCO control line waveform with RV1 and RV2 set correctly. Figure 1 Location Of Socket And SMD Resistor Note: Keep the angle of the coaxial socket steep to ensure that there is space for the Micromatch cable as well as for the coaxial cable. 3. Remove the two screws and cover plate from the second D-range mounting hole at the rear of the T800 chassis. (If the transmitter already has a second D-range, this must be removed so that the Drange with a second Micromatch socket can be fitted.) 4. Remove R291, R289, and R296 from the audio processor (shown in Figure 2). Figure 7 100 Hz VCO Control Line Waveform S6 S5 R291 S7 R289 R296 Figure 2 T800 Transmitter Audio Processor (older version without Micromatch connector) - Top Side Note: If the lower cut off frequency of an AC coupled oscilloscope is too high, excessive distortion may be introduced which will result in 'sag' on the square wave displayed. Determine if this is a problem by directly monitoring the original square wave source and observe any sag. If there is sag, switch the oscilloscope to DC and use a 10µF capacitor in series with the scope probe (observing the correct polarity) to directly monitor the VCO control line. Note that the trace settling time will be approximately one minute. 6 T800-32-0010 Fitting Instructions 419-83210-00 Figure 6 shows the location of these resistors on the PCB.

Divide the external oscillator frequency by 100 kHz. 2. Convert the result into binary. 3. Where there is a 0 in the binary number, place a zero ohm resistor in the equivalent position. Where there is a 1, leave an open link.

Figure 3 T800 Transmitter Microntroller and Synthesiser Compartments 6. Apply +5 V DC to the DATA input (see Figure 8 for D-range 2 pin assignments) and observe the transmitter output using a frequency counter. The output should read the carrier frequency. Remove R841 and R842 (SMD) from the microcontroller compartment (shown in Figure 3) to disconnect the appropriate lines from the microcontroller. 7. Remove the +5 V DC from the DATA input and apply a ground ( 0 V) to the DATA input. Observe the transmitter output with a frequency counter. Adjust RV3 to get an output of Fcarrier + 4.5 kHz. Lay the T800-32-0010 PCB above the exciter compartment with the component side up and positioned so that the Micromatch sockets are on the side closer to the front panel of the radio. 8. Connect the 8-way ribbon cable to the SK200 Micromatch socket in the audio compartment and connect the other end to the Micromatch socket SK3 on the PCB. Remove the 0 V from the DATA line and apply a 100 Hz 5 Vp-p square wave. 4 T800-32-0010 Fitting Instructions 419-83210-00 T800-32-0010 Fitting Instructions 419-83210-00 If there is no Micromatch socket in the audio compartment (older Series II transmitters), connect wires from the PCB to the audio compartment as follows.

Turn the T800-32-0010 PCB over, so that the ribbon cables and components face down, and position it above the audio processor compartment. 15. Connect the other end of the 4-way ribbon cable to the Micromatch socket on the auxiliary D-range. 16. Screw the PCB in place using the 4 M3 x 8 screws provided. Configuring for the External Oscillator Frequency The PCB is configured for a 10 MHz external reference, using a pattern of zero ohm resistors. For a 5 MHz or 12.8 MHz external oscillator frequency, you need the following pattern: First coaxial cable SK2 SK1 SK4 4-way ribbon cable Second coaxial cable Auxiliary D-range (D-range 2) Figure 4 Cable Routing 11. Screw D-range 2 in place. 12. Thread the second coaxial cable from D-range 2 through the loom channel to the paging board and connect it to SK2. 13. If the transmitter will be operating in VHF (frequencies <360 MHz), solder short LINK2 and LINK 3 (see Figure 5). (The T800-32-0010 PCB links are set for UHF operation.)
