SECTION 2
INSTALLATION
2-1 INITIAL INSPECTION

Check the shipping carton for external damage. If the carton exhibits evi-
dence of abuse in handling (holes, broken corners, etc.) ask the carrier
agent to be present when the unit is unpacked. Carefully unpack the unit
and inspect all equipment for physical damage. Immediately after unpacking,
any bent or broken parts or scratches should be noted. Keep all packing
material for proof of damage claim or for possible future use.
2-2 PREPARATION FOR USE

The unit is designed to be mounted in a standard 19 rack. Air space should
11
be provided above and below the unit so that heat generated by the circuitry
may be dissipated. Additional cooling may be required if the unit is placed
above high heat generating equipment in order to keep the ambient temperature
below the maximum specified.
Mount the unit to the rack using (4) #10 countersunk screws and finishing
washers.
The unit requires a 105-125V single phase, 50 oi 60 Hz power source or a 210-
250V single phase, 50 or 60 Hz power source. The identification place on the
back panel shows for which power source the unit is wired. See Section 5-5
for information on changing taps.
Connect a suitable 50 ohm RF load to RF OUT jack Jl using a type N connector
and RG-8/U or equivalent cable. tonnect Mono audio . line to TBJ and/or Stereo
Generator ·:to COMP jack J2. Connect SCA Generator to either SCA jack J3 or J4 .
Connect AC power plug to · approp~iate power source.
C A UT I O N
When connecting the Exciter to the Transmitter, tuning of the transmitter input
circuitry will be facilitated by the use of a 3dB 30 watt pad and a thru-line
wattmeter between the Exciter and -the Transmi~ter. If these-devices are not a-
vailable reduce the output power of the exciter and tune the input of the trans-
mitter until a somewhat reasonable match is obtained. If the transmitter is al-
ready tuned to exciter frequency a touch up adjustment should b{ all that is
11 11
necessary. If the IPA of the transmitter can be mistuned to the point of os-
cillation be sure to use the 3dB pad. It is possible to drive large amounts of
power back into the Exciter from an oscillating IPA thereby destroying the out-
put transistor.
-6-
In some transmitters it is possible to overdrive the IPA of the transmitter
causing it to break up. Therefore, you should keep the PWR ADJ control of
the exciter at minimum, then slowly increase it until the IPA of the trans-
mitter indicates the same amount of grid current as with your previous ex-
citer. The final stage of the transmitter can be tuned for full output at
this time.
2-3 REPACKING FOR SHIPMENT

NOTE: Before returning a unit for repair or calibration, contact the factory
or your authorized representative for a Return Authorization. Attach a tag
showing owner's name and address. A description of the service required should
also be included. Unit must be shipped prepaid and insured for full value.
Use the original shipping carton and packing material for re-shipment. If
they are not available, proceed as follows:
A. Use a carton with minimum test strength of 250 lbs.
B. Use heavy paper or sheets of cardboard to protect all surfaces.
C. Use at least four inches of tightly packed shock absorbing material
such as extra firm polyurethane foam or rubberized hair. NEWSPAPER
IS NOT SUFFICIENT CUSHIONING MATERIAL.
I
D. Use heavy reinforced shipping tape to secure the outside of the

carton.
E. Use large FRAGILE labels on each surface.

SECTION 3
OPERATION
3-1 OPERATOR CONTROLS AND INDICATORS (FRONT PANEL)

l. POWER Switch Sl and POWER Indicator CR2
This switch controls primary power to the unit. The LED (CR2) will
light indicating power on. If the LED flashes, it indicates a power
supply overload or an extreme RF load mismatch.
2. MULTIMETER Switch S2 and MULTIMETER Ml.
This switch controls the function monitored by the meter. A list of
multimeter readings is supplied by the factory with each unit. Since
these readings are only a relative indication, it is recommended that
they be checked and logged periodically so that any excessive deviation
from normal will be recognized.
3. PWR ADJ Control Rl
This screwdriver adjustment can be used to vary the RF output from less
than 5 watts to over 20 watts. If the Exciter is to be used below app-
roximately 12 watts output, it is recommended that the tap on the power
transformer secondary be moved to the 75% point. This will limit the
maximum output power to less than 12 watts but will cut down on the pri-
mary power consumed and lower heat dissipation within the unit. See
Section 5-6.
4. FREQ ADJ Control R2
This screwdriver adjustment can be used to fine tune the Exciter over a
range of approximately 2:_ 500 Hz.
5. AFC LOCKED Lamp DSl and Socket XDSl
This lamp indicates when the FMO is .locked to the reference crystal ·as"".
cillator. If the FMO is not locked to the reference, sensing circuitry
will extinguish lamp DSl and shut down the RF output of the Exciter. It
is normal for this lamp to light and RF power to appear within a few se-
conds after the Exciter is energized.
3-2 CONTROLS AND CONNECTIONS (REAR PANEL)

l. MONO/COMP Switch S3
This .switch selects either the mono or stereo input signals. In the mono
position, the input signal is automatically pre-emphasized in accordance
with the 75 usec curve.
-8-
2. RF OUT Jack Jl.
3. COMP Jack J2.
Approximately 4Vpp across lOK is required for 75 KHz deviation.
4. SCA Jacks Js and J4.
Approximately lVpp across lOK is required for 7.5 KHz deviation.
5. METER Jack J5.
This jack provides access to the PA voltage and current information re-
quired by the optional meter panel. This panel is used when the Exciter
is used as a low power transmitter.
6. TBl.
This is a 600 ohm balanced audio input. +10 dBm+ l dB is required for
75 KHz deviation at 400 Hz. This input is always-pre-emphasized. The
center terminal of TBl is connected to chassis ground.
7. FUSE Fl and XFl.
This is the primary power fuse for the unit. It is the only fuse nec-
essary since all power supplies are short circuit protected. It should
be replaced only with a fuse of the same type and rating as the original
(3AG lA).
3-3 INITIAL OPERATION

l. Operate POWER switch and verify that LED CR2 is lit.
2. Verify that AFC LOCKED lamp lights and RF output appears within a few
seconds.
3. Check MULTIMETER readings against factory supplied information. Read-
ings should agree within.:!:_ 10%.
NOTE: The RF reading will vary somewhat depending
on the RF load connected to the Exciter.
3-4 NORMAL OPERATION

For normal operation, use PWR ADJ Control Rl to set power output to level
required. Check MULTIMETER readings periodically to verify that no drastic
changes have taken place.
-9-
Use FREQ ADJ control R2 to fine tune Exciter to exact frequency. Remember
that a phase locked Exciter does not exhibit the drift of a frequency lock-
ed exciter. Be sure that any frequency error is in the Exciter and not in
the measuring instrument before you attempt to tune the Exciter.
Use signal levels in Section 3-2 to get approximate 100% levels and use an
FCC Type Approved modulation monitor QEI Model 671 (with Model 771 for stereo)
or equivalent for exact determination of modulation.
-10-
SECTION 4
THEORY OF OPERATION
4-1 GENERAL
Refer to block diagram of the Exciter. The Exciter circuitry is on three
circuit boards: A2-FMO and Phase Lock Assembly; A3-IPA and PA Assembly;
and A4-Power Supply Regulator Assembly.
1. A2 FMO and Phase Lock Assembly.
A packaged on carrier direct FM oscillator sub-assembly produces
the basic signal. This signal is amplified by the FMO buffer and
control amplifier to a level of approximately 100 mw. A sample of
this signal is fed to a high speed divider which reduces the fre-
quency to nominally 5 MHz (fc/20). This 5 MHz signal is then pro-
cessed by the programmable divider whose output is 5 KHz regardless
of the assigned frequency. The output of an 8 MHz crystal controll-
ed oscillator is digitally divided to 5 KHz. This signal is phase
compared with the output of the programmable divider and the re-
sulting signal is filtered and used to control the FM oscillator
sub-assembly. Thus, the programmable divider allows the use of the
same high stability 8 MHz reference crystal regardless of channel
assignment.
It should be noted that a phase locked loop required a phase error not a
frequency error to generate its correction signal. Because of this-:-t"he
output of a phase locked exciter exhibits long term phase coherence with
the reference oscillator without the frequency drift associated with fre-
quency locked loop exciters. ·
Circuitry is included that senses lock and provides a signal that cuts off
the control amplifier thereby shutting off the RF output until lock is es-
tablished.
2. A3-IPA and PA Assembly.
This board contains a two stage amplifier which raises the 100 mw
output of the A2 assembly to a level of 20 watts~ - The transistors
are of the emitter ballasted type and this in conjunction with the
circuit and power supply design allow operation into any magnitude
or phase of VSWR without damage. However, good operating practice
dictates that this VSWR protection not be abused. Do not knowingly
operate the Exciter without a proper RF load.
-11-
3. A4-Power Supply Regulator Assembly.
This board contains three power supplies. The IPA-PA power supply
regulator, the +l5V FMO regulator and the 5V FMO logic regulator.
All of these supplies are short circuit protected. The IPA-PA sup-
ply can be varied from approximately 14V to 24V using the PWR ADJ
control for the purpose of controlling the output power of the
Exciter.
4-2 DETAIL CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION

l. A2 FMO and Phase Lock Assembly.
The output of the FMO sub-assembly is fed to the base of Ql, the
FMO buffer. This stage drives Q3, the control amplifier and Ul,
a high speed emitter coupled logic (ECL) flip-flop. Q3 raises the
power level to approximately 100 mw, a level sufficient to drive
the IPA. If an unlocked condition is sensed, a signal is devel-
oped which causes Q2 to conduct thereby shorting the base of Q3 to
ground and shutting off the RF output.
Q4 provides level matching between the output of Ul (fc 7 2) and
the input of U2. U2 is a high speed divide by 10 circuit. The
output of U2 is therefore fc 720. U3, U4, U5 and U6 make up the
prograITJTiable divider. By grounding the appropriate points (as
shown in Table 5-l ), this circuit can be made to divide by any
whole number from 2 to 2000. For operation in the FM band, the
circuit is made to divide by a number between 881 and 1079. When
this is done, the output frequency of the prograrrmable divider is
5 KHz when the FMO is operating on the assigned channel.
Q7, Yl and associated circuitry form a stable 8 MHz crystal os-
cillator which provides the reference frequency for the system.
C27 is the coarse tune capacitor and QB (a transistor used as a
varicap) provides the voltage controlled fine tuning. QB is con-
trolled by the FREQ ADJ pot on the front panel. Q9 buffers the
output of the reference oscillator and provides level matching to
drive U7. U7, U8 and U9 are TTL integrated circuits. The output
of U9 is 8 MHz 7 1600 or 5 KHz. This 5 KHz square wave is diff-
erentiated and applied to Q7. When Q7 conducts, it discharges C21.
C21 is charged through constant current source Q6, R46 and R47.
The result of this action is to convert the 5 KHz square wave to
a linear 5 KHz sawtooth. R47 is an amplitude and linearity ad-
justment.
The 5 KHz output of the programmable divider drives pulse amplifier
Q5. The output of Q5 and the sawtooth converter are coupled to Ul2.
This IC and associated circuitry form a "sample hold" phase detector.
Ul2 is a gated Operational Transconductance Amplifier. This device
has a high impedance (constant current) output. R39 and C20 form a
-12~
storage circuit. Ul2 charges this storage circuit to the point on
the input sawtooth which is coincident with the pulse from QS. There-
fore, as the phase angle between the reference derived and the FMO
derived S KHz signals changes, the voltage on C20 rides up or down.
However, since the voltage can change only when the pulse from QS
is present, the filter required to eliminate the reference frequency
is greatly reduced. Ull is a high input impedance voltage follower
which eliminates any loading of the storage circuit. The low imped-
ance output of Ull is filtered and applied to the AFC control port
of the FMO sub-assembly thereby closing the control loop.
QlO buffers the output of U9 (reference S KHz) and drives the REF
position on the MULTIMETER.
UlO, Qll and Ql2 dorm the circuit that senses lock. - AS KHz square
wave from U9 and a S KHz pulse from the programmable divider are
fed to UlO. If the two inputs are not locked, a square wave will
appear at pin 6 of UlO. This signal is converted to a DC level by
Qll and this level is applied to Ql2 which drives the other half of
UlO. The output of UlO is then fed to Q2 where it shuts down the
RF output and to Ql3 which turns off the AFC LOCKED lamp.
2. A3 IPA and PA Assembly
The output of the A2 Assembly (approximately 100 mw) is applied to
Tl. Tl and T2 provide impedance matching to the base of Ql, the
IPA. C2 stabilizes the amplifier throughout the power adjust range.
C7, C8 and L2 provide impedance matching between the collector of Ql
and the base of Q2, the PA. LS, Cl4 and ClS provide impedance match-
ing between the collector of Q2 and the load. CRl and associated
circuitry drives the RF position on the MULTIMETER. Parallel bypass
capacitors are used on both stages to insure that the power supply
is bypassed for all frequencies . This precaution is necessary due
to the extremely high low frequency gain of RF power transistors .
If adequate bypassing is not used, low frequency oscillation s of a
sufficient magnitude to destroy the transistor can occur. Do not
operate the Exciter with any of these bypass capacitors disconnected.
Although the PA can withstand VSWR without damage, good operating
practice dictates that the Exciter should not knowingly be operated
without a proper load.
3. A4 Power Supply Regulator Assembly.
a. IPA-PA Regulator
A 12 volt zener diode, CR4, is the reference for this supply.
The PWR ADJ control Rl (front panel control) supplies all or
part of the 12 volts across CR4 to the base of Q2. Q2 and Q3
form a DC amplifier with a gain of approximately 2. This raises
the voltage supplied to the base of pass transistor AlQl (mtd.
on heat sink on rear of unit) to approximately 24.7 volts max.
-13-
The emitter of the pass transistor supplies the load through
Rl2. If the current drawn through Rl2 is excessive, the volt-
age drop across Rl2 will exceed the forward voltage necessary
to cause Q4 to conduct. When Q4 conducts, it fires SCR CR3
which shorts out the reference thereby causing the supply to
shut down. When this occurs, Cl starts to charge through Rll.
When the voltage at the junction of Rll and Cl becomes more
negative than the gate voltage of SCR CRl, CRl fires discharg-
ing Cl. The resulting pulse causes Ql to momentarily interrupt
the holding current through CR3 thereby cutting off CR3. This
action resets the supply automatically.
b. 15 Volt Regulator
Zener diode CR6 is the reference for this regulator. Q5 and Q7
amplify the voltage across this diode to approximately 15 volts.
Q6 acts similar to Q4 if the current drawn from the supply ex-
ceeds approximately 100 ma.
c. 5 Volt Regulator
A 6.3 volt zener diode CR5 is the reference for this regulator.
QB buffers the voltage a~ross this diode and drives the chassis
mounted pass transistor AlQ2. Q9 and R25 provide the current
limit function for this supply. The limit point is approximate-
ly 500 ma.

11
greatest amplitude linear 5 KHz sawtooth obtainable.

b. Connect a scope to pin 6 of A2Ull. Adjust trimmer access-
ible through hole in FMO can until pin 7 shows a DC level.
Either side of lock will give a sawtooth signal whose
frequency becomes lower as lock is approached.
2. Modulation Level Adjustment

3. Coarse Frequency Adjustment.
a. Connect a counter to the low level output of the signal
sampler.
-15-
NOTE: BE SURE OF THE ACCURACY AND STABILITY OF THE COUNTER.
b. Remove all modulation from the Exciter. If any modulation is pre-
sent, it is necessary for the counter to have a gate time of at
least four seconds in order to obtain a correct reading.
c. Set FREQ ADJ pot R2 to the center of its range.
d. Adjust A2C27 until Exciter is on frequency.
e. Vary FREQ ADJ pot R2 from end to end. Frequency should vary app-
roximately+ 500 Hz. Reset Exciter on frequency.
5-3 POWER AMPLIFIER ALIGNMENT

1. Coarse Alignment
a. Connect a power meter capable of displaying 25W to the RF OUT jack
Jl located on the rear panel of the unit. Connect a signal samp-
ling probe to the output of the power meter. Connect a spectrum
analyzer to the probe. Connect a 50 ohm dummy load to the output
of the signal sampling probe. Be sure that the power meter and
dummy load are designed for use at FM broadcast frequencies.
b. Apply power to the unit and observe pilot lamp CR2 and AFC LOCKED
lamp DSl. If lamp does not illuminate refer to FMO alignment pro-
cedure.
c. Set PWR ADJ control Rl full clockwise. Set the MULTIMETER switch
S2 to the IPA position. Set A3C2 to mid-range.
d. Observe an indication of IPA collector current on the multimeter.
Maximize this indication by adjusting A2C6 and A2C7 of the A2
board.
e. Set the multimeter switch to the PA position. Adjust A3C7 and A3C8
for a maximum reading in this position.
f. Set the multimeter switch to the RF position. Adjust A3Cl4 and
A3Cl5 for a maximum reading in this position. The coarse alignment
is now complete.
2. Final Alignment
a. Set MULTIMETER switch S2 to the RF position. Adjust A3Cl4 and
A3Cl5 for maximum reading on the multimeter. If the Power Amp-
lifier draws excessive current and trips the power supply overload
circuitry, adjust A3Cl5 clockwise until this condition is corrected.
When this condition appears, the output power is in excess of 20
watts. Adjust A3Cl5 clockwise to reduce the output power to 20
watts. Readjust A3C14 for a maximum reading on the multimeter.
-16-
b. Adjust A3C7 and A3C8. for a maximum reading on the MULTIMETER.
c. Adjust A3C2 for stability as observed on the spectrum analyzer
as follows:
Turn the PWR ADJ control Rl to the max, CCW position. Adjust
A3C2 for stability as observed on the spectrum analyzer. Turn
the PWR ADJ control to the max. CW position. Adjust A3C2 if
necessary to stabilize the unit.
5-4 EXCITER-TRANSMITTER INTERFACE

When connecting the Exciter to the Transmitter, tuning of the transmitter
input circuitry will be facilitated by the use of a 3dB 20watt pad and a
thru-line wattmeter between the Exciter and the Transmitter. If these de-
vices are not available reduce the output power of the exciter and tune the
input of the transmitter until a somewhat reasonable match is obtained. If
the Transmitter is already tuned to exciter frequency a "touch up" adjust-
ment should be all that is necessary. If the IPA of the transmitter can be
mistuned to the point of oscillation be sure to use the 3dB pad. It is poss-
ible to drive large amounts of power back into the Exciter from an oscillat-
ing IPA thereby destroying the output transistor.
5-5 TROUBLESHOOTING
Refer to schematics for waveform and voltage information. Using these, the
theory of operation in Section 4 and the test equipment listed should allow
a competent engineer to diagnose most problems. If factory help is required,
it is as close as your telephone.
In addition, do not attempt replacement of components on printed circuit boards
unless you are familiar with this work. All PC boards can be severely damaged
by using the wrong tools or methods. Do not use a soldering iron over 25 watts
or anything other than 60/40 ROSIN core solder. Use a "solder sucker" or "sold-
er wick" wire to remove a component.
Because the Power Supplies are overload protected, it is possible for a defect
on the A2 or A3 boards to cause a voltage to be either missing or less than
nominal. If a voltage is low or missing remove the load and see if the volt-
age returns.

b. Mark rear of chassis to show supply for which unit is wired.
2. Tap Change
a. If Exciter is to be used below 12 watts , connect Red/Yellow lead
to CRl instead of Yellow lead. This change will limit output po-
wer to approximately 12 watts, but will reduce heat dissipation
within the unit.
b. Change A4Rl0 from 820 ohm to 1.5K. This insures that the IPA-PA
supply stays in regulation with the reduced input voltage.
c. Change A4Rl9 from 120 ohm 2 watt to 68 ohm 2 watt. This insures
that the +15 volt supply stays in regulation ,
