16-1. INTRODUCTION.

The Loudspeaker-Control Unit, LS-671/VRC (loudspeaker) is used in conjunction with vehicular mounted radio
systems. Its basic function is to permit remote transmit and receive operation of the RT thru the loudspeaker.
Other functions included are remote power ON/OFF control of the mounting adapter or power supply adapter,
volume control of the loudspeaker, and a provision for connecting a handset.

The loudspeaker-control unit, LS-671/VRC has three main sections which are:
a. Rear Cover Assembly (15A1)
b. Speaker Case/Flexible Cable Assembly (15A2 and 15A3)
c. Loudspeaker

They are described in the following paragraphs:

16-2. REAR COVER ASSEMBLY (15A1).

The rear cover assembly is mounted on the rear of the LS-671/VRC. It provides three basic functions:
a. It provides an environmental seal for the LS-671/VRC.
b. It contains the LS-671/VRC CCA (15A1A1) that controls the operation of the LS-671/VRC.
c. It contains the amplifier module assembly (15A1A2) that comprises a voltage regulator, loudspeaker
amplifier, handset amplifier, and buffering amplifier.

The input power must be 22 to 32 V dc. The current required depends on the output loads. Normally, 150 to
500 mA of input current is required. A schematic diagram of the LS-671/VRC is included in figure FO-30.

16-3. SPEAKER CASE/FLEXIBLE CABLE ASSEMBLY (15A2 and 15A3).

The speaker case/flexible cable assembly provides the physical structure which holds the loudspeaker, VOL
control RI, power indicator lamp DS1, ON/OFF switch CB1, and connectors J1 and J2. The speaker case/flexible
cable assembly also contains the interconnection wiring for these external components. The loudspeaker and
external components are described in the following paragraphs and illustrated in figure 16-1.

16-4. LOUDSPEAKER.

The loudspeaker provides the function of converting the amplified RT audio signals into sound for monitoring
voice communications in vehicular installations.

Figure 16-1. Loudspeaker and External Components.

a. Power ON/OFF switch CB1. Used to turn the loudspeaker on and off. May also be used to turn power on
and off to the mounting adapter or power supply adapter, if the mounting adapter or power supply
adapter power switch CB1 is set to ON.
b. Power indicator lamp DS1. Lights when power ON/OFF switch CB1 is set to ON.
c. Volume control R1. Adjusts volume level for loudspeaker or handset (if connected). To adjust volume
level for handset, turn VOL control clockwise to increase volume; turn it counterclockwise to decrease
volume. To adjust volume level for loudspeaker, pull and turn VOL control clockwise to increase volume;
pull and turn it counterclockwise to decrease volume.
d. Handset connecter J2. Used to connect handset.
e. Connecter J1. Connects to mounting base or single radio mount connector J3 or J4 using loudspeaker
cable CX-13292/VRC.

16-8. GENERAL.
This section provides the troubleshooting procedures used to isolate a defective module within the LS-671/VRC.
The troubleshooting information is presented in the form of flowcharts. They systematically get from a symptom
to the bad module or component.

16-9. OPERATIONAL CHECK.

The operational check provides a step-by-step procedure for evaluating an LS-671/VRC. If the operational check
is passed, the LS-671/VRC can be returned to service. If it does not pass the test, the bad module or the
troubleshooting chart to be used will be identified. The troubleshooting procedures are in paragraph 16-10.
The operational check is divided into steps. Each step verifies a particular function. Follow the instruction in the
“Action” column. Check the response. If the response is correct, proceed with the next lettered step. When a
Step has been completed, proceed with the next Step. A "No response" in the "Response" column means that
any response is not of interest.
The switch settings for the test equipment are given in the “EQUIPMENT PRESETS” section of the test setup
figure. Set the test equipment switches to the indicated presets and then verify the settings. If a test response is
incorrect, check the equipment settings and the test adapter cabling before going to a troubleshooting chart or
replacing a bad module or component.
Connect equipment as shown in figure 16-2 to perform the operational check of the LS-671/VRC.

16-10. TROUBLESHOOTING.

Troubleshooting is done on a faulty LS-671/VRC. The steps to determine if a LS-671/VRC is faulty and how to
troubleshoot it are as follows:
a. When an LS-671/VRC is received from unit maintenance, inspect it for damage. Repair any damage
before proceeding with testing. See section IV if repairs are necessary.
b. Verify the symptom. Perform the operational check found in paragraph 16-9. This will direct you to the
correct troubleshooting flowchart or identify the fault.
c. Troubleshoot the LS-671/VRC using the flowchart. It will identify the defective module or component.
d. Replace the defective module or component. Follow the procedures in section IV.
e. Verify the repair. Repeat the operational check in paragraph 16-9 that failed. If it passes, then
continue with the rest of the operational check. When the operational check is passed, the LS-671/VRC
can be returned for use.

The flowcharts provide views of speaker CCA test points. These test points are used to fault isolate to a defective
component. See figure 16-3 for the overall layout of the speaker CCA and test points.

16-11. TEST PRECAUTIONS AND NOTES.

WARNING

Set the test power supply to OFF before connecting or disconnecting a test setup. Current
capacities are large enough to cause personal injury. Equipment can also be damaged if care is
not taken.

NOTE

The Principles of Operation section, functional block diagrams, and schematic diagram figure
FO-30 can be used to help fault isolate any unusual problems that might not be covered in the
troubleshooting procedures.

identify the troubleshooting chart to be used. When a bad module is identified, replace it using the procedure in
this section.

16-15. OPERATIONAL CHECK.

Perform the operational check found in paragraph 16-9 to verify proper operation of the LS-671/VRC.

16-16. REPAIR INSTRUCTIONS.

The following instructions apply to all repair tasks unless otherwise noted in the procedure.
a. Begin procedure with the LS-671/VRC ON/OFF switch (CB1) set to OFF.
b. Disconnect any external cables connected to the LS-671/VRC.
c. Inspect the LS-671/VRC. Replace the LS-671/VRC case/flexible cable assembly, if the LS-671/VRC is
physically damaged, such as with a broken connector.
CAUTION

Steps marked with must be performed exactly as written. They are critical in maintaining
the nuclear hardness of the LS-671/VRC. Seals must not be damaged. All screws must be
torqued to the limits specified in the replacement procedures.
