SECTION 2 - INSTALLATION
2.1 INSPECTION
The FM -10H3 is carefully packed at the Gates plant to ensure safe arrival at
its destination. The equipment is packed in a number of heavy cartons and
wooden crates. Open the crates and cartons carefully to avoid damaging any
of the contents. Remove the packing material and search for possible small
items, such as pilot lights, fuses, loose screws, and bolts.
If damage should occur during shipment, all claims should be filed promptly
with the transportation company. If a claim is to be filed, the original pack-
ing case and material must be preserved. A damage report must be filed to
collect for shipping damages. Gates Radio Company is not responsible for
damage occúring during shipment. Parts or components shipped to replace
those damaged in transportation will be billed to the customer plus trans-
portation expenses, the cost of which should form a portion of your claim
to the transportation company.
A complete visual inspection should be made of the equipment. Determine

that there are no loose connections, loose components, broken insulators, etc.,
that may have been damaged in shipment. Make sure all relay contacts are
free and in good mechanical condition. Make sure all mechanical connections
are tight. Check with a screw driver ora wrench, all mechanical and electrical
connections that are mechanically bolted together. All tie downs or blocking
used for shipping purposes should be removed. A good overall visual inspec-
tion may save time and trouble in placing the transmitter into operating
condition.
2.2 TUBE HANDLING AND OPERATING PRECAUTIONS, 4CX10,000D
Avoid bumping this tube. Due to its large mass, bumping this tube will
introduce resultant stresses which may cause internal damage.
Before operating this tube, please refer to the tune -up and operating procedure
given in Section 3. It is recommended procedure to adjust the equipment for
operation under heavy plate loading conditions, and with only sufficient RF
drive to provide the required power output and efficiency.
Extreme care should be taken during tune -up as well as in regular service to
avoid, even momentarily, operation of this tube under conditions of insufficient
plate loading or excessive RF drive. These operating conditions, especially at
the upper end of the VHF range, will produce excessively high seal and /or bulb
temperature and will result in damage to this tube.
2.3 PACKING CHECK LIST
Certain components of the transmitter have been removed for shipment and are
o packed separately to ensure safe handling. These parts on the FM -10H3 have
r
0 been kept to a bare minimum and are plug -in units and heavy components.
Tubes that are not clamped down for normal operation are also removed. The
following components have been removed from the transmitter for shipping
purposes:

As various components are removed, the wires connecting each component are
numbered or tagged for placement of these parts. After determining that all
these components are on hand, you are ready to proceed with the installation °o
in an orderly manner.
2.4 INSTALLATION
In advance of actual placement of the equipment, certain planning should be
accomplished. The use of the installation drawing will assist in locating the
power and audio input terminals of the transmitter.
Either side of the transmitter may be placed against a wall or other equipment.
Complete accessibility for maintenance and installation is provided in the
M -10H3 by access from the front or the rear of the transmitter cabinet.
Install the plug -in capacitor in the transmitter bias supply.
Refer to the FM Exciter Installation Instructions for proper module placement

in the exciter cabinet.
Unblock the blower assembly.
Mount the power transformer (T4) through the back door of the transmitter.
It would be wise to remove the ceramic fuse block temporarily when doing this
to prevent accidental damage to this part. Orient the transformer so that the
secondary taps on the coils face inward. Connect the primary power leads from
contactor, K2 to marked terminals at the top of T4. Select the proper taps on
the power transformer T4 for the primary line voltage. Secondary leads are
.tagged for connection to their proper taps on the coils.
The RF output balun assembly installs from inside the transmitter enclosure.
Before mounting, temporarily remove both monitor coupling loops from the
top portion of the balun. With the inner conductor removed and the balun
sleeve up, bolt the unit beneath the top of the enclosure. Insert the inner
conductor from the top.
Take the notch filter and thread the stud from the balun inner conductor
into the inner conductor of the notch filter. Tighten with a crescent wrench
from the loading capacitor connection in the PA enclosure. Slip the filter
sleeve down over the outer conductor and fasten securely with the stainless
steel clamp provided.
Remount the two monitor coupling loops on the exterior vertical balun.
The lower end of the inner conductor of the balun connects to output
loading capacitor C-6.
Loosen the Allen set screws on the adjustable portion of the balun. The
distance that this component is positioned vertically from the tube deck
varies with operating frequency. Refer to your test data sheets for the
proper measurement on your assigned channel. This adjustment must be
accurate within 1/8" for proper operation.
2 -2
The 4CX300A IPA tube has a breechblock base. The tube must be carefully
installed to prevent damage to the contacts of the tube or its socket. The
tube must be seated over the center rod of the tube socket and positioned
in such a way that the tube electrode rings are in line with the socket fingers.
After the tube is pushed downward to the proper position, rotate the tube
until all the electrode rings have completely slipped between their associated
socket fingers.
Install the anode connector around the anode and tighten securely. Drop the
exhaust tube through the opening of the upper deck to the top of the IPA
anode connector. Hold the exhaust tube in place with 0 rings above and
below the deck surface.
Install the 4CX10,000D carefully in its socket and push firmly until the tube is
properly seated. The anode connector assembly secures with a clamp to the
tube and with a bolt to the plate line. Coarse frequency tuning of the plate
circuit is determined by the distance of the rotary section of the plate circuit
from the 4CX10,000D tube deck. This measurement is recorded in the test
data for your transmitter and should be checked before operating the trans-
mitter. Tolerance here is approximately 1/16 ".
Bolt the low pass filter in the transmission line between the directional
coupler and antenna coax, and your basic installation is complete. Provisions
should be made at the transmitter site to have at least two supports for the
filter.
2.5 WIRING CONNECTION
After the transmitteris physically in place and the components removed for
shipment have been re- installed, AC power should be brought to the trans-
mitter. The power leads from the transmitter shouid come from a low
reactance power source of either 208,230, or 240 volts, 60 Hz, 3 phase,
with approximately a 21 kVA capacity. A power source of 115 volts,
60 Hz, with 500 watts capacity is also required.
Referring to the installation drawing, the 240 Volt, 3 phase input enters the
transmitter in the lower right hand corner and connects to the 3 phase fuse
block immediately to the left.
A 115 Volt, single phase fuse block is located at the center and to the rear
of the transmitter with the input terminals for the 115 Volts, single phase
towards the rear of the transmitter.
The audio input line enters the base of the transmitter at the center
approximately 7Y2" from the front. The audio line connects directly to
terminal board TB -1 of the FM Exciter. Terminals and 3 are the audio
1
input and terminal 2 is ground or shield connection. If stereo is used the

lines are connected in accordance with the M6533 Stereo Generator instructions.
o
or The conduit or wiring of the power leads should be in agreement with local
electric codes and be able to carry the power requirements of the transmitter.
Power leads and program leads should not be run in the same conduit or in the
same wiring duct. If, due to necessity, the program leads are in close proximity
to the power leads, the program leads should be separately shielded.
2 -3
A good ground at these FM frequencies is mandatory in keeping RF currents
in nearby audio equipment to a minimum. RF Usually shows up in one of
two ways -- feedback or high noise, and in some cases both. t should he
I
pointed out that even a small amount of unshielded wire makes a very
efficient antenna for FM frequencies. If RE from the cabinet field is trans-
ferred to the audio equipment, it is rectified and shows up as noise or feed-
back. We strongly recommend a single common ground point from the
transmitter base to a good grounding system, such as, a water pipe or actual
earthing ground.
2.6 COOLING
ó
CD
The transmitter is air cooled and several kilowatts of heat are developed and
dissipated through the air outlet in the top of the transmitter. t may be
l
necessary to provide a means of exhausting this air from the transmitter

room or enclosure. Heat is a major factor to electronic component deteriora-
tion. A good system of removing the heated air from the transmitter and the
transmitter room and providing cool air for the air inlet of the transmitter
will greatly prolong the life of the transmitter and its components. Duct work,
if installed, should not provide any back pressure to the power amplifier
enclosure. At no point should the duct work have less of a cross sectional
area than the opening at the top of the transmitter. Sharp, right angle bends
are not permissible. Where it is necessary to turn a right angle, a radius type
bend should be used.
There are many installation possibilities. Each and every installation is

somewhat different. Therefore, it is not possible to give complete detailed
information on the transmitter ducting. Only general information can be
supplied. As a suggestion, contact a local heating and cooling contractor for
a detailed analysis of the problem.
After the transmitter has operated at full output a number of hours a

temperature rise inside. the transmitter must not exceed a rise of 206 C
above the ambient measured at the air intake of the blower and must not
rise above 60° C under any circumstances (excluding PA output air).
20o C = 68° F, 60° C = 140° F

SECTION 3 - OPERATION
3.1 PRE -OPERATION
Before placing the FM -10H3 into operation, check once again the points
covered in Section 2. Have you mounted all components physically and
made these electrical connections?
1. Primary power to the 3 phase fuse block.

2. 115 Volts to the phase fuse block.
1
3. Program line connected to the exciter.

4. 115 Volts to the exciter.
5. Transmitter connected to antenna or a suitable load.
If everything appears to be in order, then you may proceed.
3.2 TEST DATA
Your equipment has gone through many different kinds of tests at the
Gates factory, and has been operated for several hours on your assigned
operating frequency. This is to ensure correct adjustment and proper
setting of all controls. Refer to the test data supplied with your transmitter.
This data is attached to the front of the transmitter when shipped.
3.3 ADJUSTMENT
Set the dial settings to those given on the test data sheet. Turn the IPA
screen voltage control fully counter -clockwise. Primary power may now be
applied to the transmitter by pushing the filament ON button. The light
behind the filament ON button should light. Next, the blower should begin
to run and come up to speed. After the blower reaches maximum operating
speed, air pressure in the PA enclosure will operate the air switch.
Run the PA screen voltage control to the lowest position (counterclockwise)

on the screen rheostat.
Check the P.A. bias voltage and adjust as necessary to obtain the test data
sheet measurements. During the tune -up procedure it may be necessary to
increase the bias voltage to prevent the P.A. from drawing excessive plate
current. The grid bias voltage on the P.A. is a combination of the developed
bias from the RF and the constant voltage from the bias supply. The bias
supply is set at a compromise position to obtain the-desired power output
and to keep the P.A. within its dissipation ratings in case of RF failure.
Closing of the air switch will turn ON the PA filament voltage which may
be read with the multimeter switch on the meter panel in the filament
voltage position. Set the filament voltage for 7.5 volts:, -¿...
o Next, place the multimeter switch on the meter panel to thePA cathode
o current position (this is the UP position). If the exciter is delivering power
to the IPA stage, a reading of approximately 10% will be read on the multi -
meter. As this meter is reading cathode current it will also read the grid
current.
3 -1
The high voltage may now be applied by pushing the high voltage ON button.
This supplies plate and screen voltage to the IPA stage simultaneously with the
application of plate and screen voltage to the power amplifier stage. Bring the
screen control for the IPA up until the IPA cathode draws approximately 50%
scale reading on the multimeter. Resonate the IPA plate circuit by tuning for
a dip in the IPA cathode meter reading. If the plate circuit and loading are
near their operating positions, power output of the amplifier will be noticed.
During the tune -up procedure it may be necessary to increase the IPA screen
voltage to prevent the P.A. from drawing excessive plate current. ó
J
O
Increase the screen voltage of the power amplifier by bringing the screen control
lever switch to the UP position until approximately 1.5 amperes power amplifier
plate current is indicated. Resonate the plate circuit of the power amplifier by
adjusting the plate tuning (L2) for a dip in plate current. Next, check the
position of the output loading by rotating the output loading control to give
a maximum output indication.
The power output meter is the farthest right hand meter on the meter panel.
Its function is determined by the FOR PWR /VSWR CAL /VSWR Selector switch
(S1) located on the upper portion of the access door. You may read:
1. Forward power.
2. Meter calibration for maximum scale reading during VSWR measurements.
3. VSWR on the transmittion line.
Check the VSWR on the transmission line. Position the Power /VSWR
Selector to the VSWR Calibrate position and set the power output meter
for full scale deflection with the VSWR CAL control. Turn the selector
switch to VSWR and read the reflected wave. Although the transmitter
will operate into a 1.7:1 mismatch it is recommended to keep the VSWR
to a minimum. If a high VSWR is noticed it is generally traced to the
transmission line and /or antenna problems.
Since the transmitter was checked into a 50 ohm resistive load any system
with a mismatch will probably change the tuning. Therefore, the recorded
test-data knob readings may not agree with the actual operation.'
If it 1.5:1 or better, the screen voltage of the P.A. and the IPA stage may
is
be increased until both are at maximum or near maximum. The plate tuning,
output loading, and IPA plate tuning should be adjusted for the maximum
output and the most overall efficient condition. To reduce the RF output,
the amount of drive to the PA can be decreased by lowering the screen
voltage of the IPA. Also, the output can be reduced by decreasing the PA
screen voltage.
The multimeter switch (S10) located on the meter panel will give an indication
of the amount of drive to the grid of the PA tube. This is a relative indication
and is read with the meter switch in the DOWN position. It will be noticed
that maximum drive condition will he very close to the same point of the IPA
plate current dip. The IPA plate tuning may, at some frequencies and power
levels, be different for maximum output and for minimum IPA plate current.
A compromise should be made on the plate tuning of the IPA for a IPA cathode
current of approximately 70% scale reading with a minimum or dip in tuning.
The tuning on either side of the dip may affect PA efficiency as well as power
output.
3-2
The operation of the transmitter is very simple and straight- forward, and
once adjusted should require only a nominal amount of touching up the
tuning at regular maintenance periods.
The overloads are set for correct operating level at the factory. The IPA
plate overload is set for nearly full scale reading on the multimeter. The
PA plate overload is set for approximately .7 amperes plate current. The
adjustments for the overloads are located under a small cover plate located
on the front access door. They may be referred to by symbol numbers on
the schematic.
Power output of the transmitter may be increased or decreased by three

controls on the transmitter. The first is the output loading. It is best to
leave this control set for maximum loading on the amplifier as this will
give more stable operation as recommended for any tetrode. The second
control is the power amplifier screen voltage. After the loading has been
'adjusted for maximum power output the screen voltage may be raised or
lowered for the desired operating power. The third control is the IPA
screen voltage control. Reducing this to its minimum value will reduce
the drive and part of the bias to the final amplifier causing it to overload
and trip the plate voltage. It may be operated in its maximum position
without any detrimental effects. However, to give partial control to power
output and some tolerance on the power output of the IPA stage, it is
recommended that it be run at approximately 80% of its full scale setting.
The output of the exciter is adjusted with a output control of the 10 watt
amplifier on the exciter and is covered in the FM Exciter section of this
manual.
The transmitter can easily be remotely controlled. Description of the

connections is covered in Section 5.
Two controls for setting the remote plate voltage and plate current for
external metering are located under the cover on the hinged access door
and are shown by symbol numbers on the schematic.
The screen voltage of the power amplifier is motor controlled and is also
connected to the remote control Raise /Lower function for power output.
3.4 MAINTENANCE
Maintenance of the FM -10H3 should consist of the following:
1. Keeping the transmitter clean.

2. Changing tubes when emission falls off.
3. Checking mechanical connections and fasteners.
4. Lubricating the blower motor.
o Keeping the transmitter clean from the accumulation of dust will reduce
ro failure resulting from arcing, dirty relay contacts, and overheating of chokes,
resistors, and transformers. Electrostatic fields are "dust catchers ". Support
insulators in the PA enclosure and other locations are the worse offenders.
They must be kept clean and free of all foreign material at all times. If not,
arcing may result and the insulator shattered.
3 -3
The air filter should be clean at all times. The washable air filter used in the
back door may be purchased from the Gates Radio Company under Part
Number 827 5285 011. However, the filter may be cleaned by using warm
water and a mild detergent.
Once a month the entire transmitter should be cleaned of dust. The inside
of the power amplifier should be thoroughly wiped clean of dust. A small
brush, soft rag, and vacuum cleaner can be used very effectively in keeping
the equipment clean.
All contactors and relays should be inspected regularly for pitting and dirt.
The contacts should be burnished and cleaned if required. The overload
relays are telephone type with sealed contacts and should require little
attention.
The bearings for the motor of the PA blower are sealed and normally give
long trouble free operation. They are lubricated for approximately 20,000
hours of operation. After this period of operation the grease in these bearings
should be changed. This is done by taking the drain plug out of the bottom
of the bearing and attaching a grease fitting to the upper plug on the bearing.
New grease should be applied until clean grease runs out of the drain plug at
the bottom. It is suggested the blower be removed for this maintenance.
The PA tube and the IPA tube should be removed once a month and the fins
cleaned of dust. Air may be blown through the fins in the reverse direction
or the anode cleaned with soap and water or denatured alcohol.
This transmitter is a precision electrical device, and as such, should be kept

clean at all times and free of dust and foreign material. Dust and moisture
condensation will lead to possible arc overs and short conductive paths.
A good preventive maintenance schedule is always the best assurance for

trouble free transmitter operation.

SECTION 4 - CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The FM -10H3 circuits will be described in the following sections:
Power Amplifier
Intermediate Power Amplifier (IPA)
Exciter
Power Supply
Control Circuits
Metering
4.1 POWER AMPLIFIER
The power amplifier of the FM -10H3 employs a single 4CX.10,000D tetrode

in a common cathode amplifier circuit. The plate circuit is inductively
tuned by varying a length of inner conductor of a transmission line within
the rectangular outer conductor. The plate line is approximately one -half
wavelength long, being fore -shortened by the output capacity of the tube.
The large variable portion of the line is used for rough or approximate
frequency setting and the end of the half -wave line is made variable for
plate circuit tuning. The end is controlled from the front panel. The fine
frequency control covers approximately 3 MHz at the low end of the FM
band and approximately 6 MHz at the higher end of the band.
Output coupling is accomplished by capacity tuning a balun. The balun

inductively couples RF power from the amplifier enclosure.
The PA grid circuit is common with the IPA plate circuit. Output
capacitance of the IPA tube with the IPA variable plate inductance, L6,
and the input capacitance of the PA tube form a pi circuit. The position
and size of inductor L10, is used to vary the IPA loading. (A small move-
ment of L10 will change the IPA loading appreciably.)
Bypassing of the PA screen and filaments is accomplished by using a number

of high voltage ceramic capacitors with lead lengths kept as short as possible.
In some transmitters, especially at the higher operating frequencies, there may

be a capacitor connected between grid and cathode of the P.A. This capacitor
is usually 25 pF or 50 pF. The purpose of adding this component is to
improve the overall performance of the power amplifier.
4.2 IPA
The intermediate power amplifier employs 4CX300A tetrode in a common

cathode circuit. The plate circuit is common with the PA grid as previously
explained.
o with the built -in capacitance of the 4CX300A

Screen bypassing is effected
ro air system socket. The IPA cathode is bypassed with four ceramic button
capacitors.
The grid circuit is inductively tuned and sealed at the Gates factory. Since
the circuit is several megahertz wide and will not require field adjustment the
variable inductors are accessible only with the bottom IPA cover off.
4 -1
Neutralization has been added to the IPA stage. A small stud protruding from
a ceramic insulator adjacent to the anode of the tube provides the degenerative
feedback pickup. The RF pickup is then returned to the grid input circuit to
stabilize the tube's operation. After factory setting, it will not require further
adjustment changes.
4.3 EXCITER
The FM exciter is described in detail in the Exciter section of this instruction

book. ó
J
O
4.4 POWER SUPPLY
Only one high voltage power supply is used in the FM -10H3. The basic
configuration of the supply is a three phase full wave bridge.
It supplies 6.6 kV for the PA plate, 2.5 kV for the IPA plate, 1000 Volt for the
PA screen grid and 280 Volt for the IPA screen grid.
The reduced voltages are obtained from resistor dividers which are connected
to the center tap of the transformer.
The PA screen grid voltage is variable between 600 Volt and 1000 Volt and *is
controlled by the Raise /Lower switch. Series limiting resistor, R47 prevents
the PA screen grid from over -dissipating in case the PA has a loss of plate
voltage.
The 0 to 280 Volt variable supply for the IPA screen voltage is controlled by
R -26. -
Silicon rectifiers for this supply consists of three doublers, each containing a
number of diodes in series with proper resistors and capacitors across the
diodes. The diodes are mounted in copper heat sinks.
The PA bias supply is a single phase full wave bridge circuit using silicon
rectifiers. Grid bias between 125 and 225 Volts is supplied to the PA control
grid. The bleeder resistor across the supply; R -41, will also provide. additional
bias voltage if the PA grid current due to RF drive causes grid current to flow
above 40 mA with 160 Volts fixed bias. R -39 is the bias adjust control.
4.5 CONTROL CIRCUITS
The control circuits of the FM -10H3 consist of the following:
K1 - Primary Contactor -
Applies voltage to the blower,
PA bias supply, and the IPA filaments.
K2 - Plate Contactor - Applies primary voltage to the plate

transformer. (K2 is energized after K3 closes.)
K3 - Step /Start Contactor -

It closes and then K2 is energized,
shorting out the contacts of K3 and the ohm resistors.
1
Step/Starting of the high voltage supply is accomplished

by K3 closing first and applying voltage to the transformer
primary through ohm resistors, R22, R23, and R24.
1
4 -2
K4 - Auxiliary Relay -
Applies holding voltages to the Step /Start
contactor K3, if the air switch and door interlocks are closed.
K5 - Recycle Relay -Energizes when either the PA overload or IPA

overload relay is energized a number of times. The number of
times is determined by control R -25. The two overload relay
contacts are in series across the relay circuit for K5. When either
overload relay energizes and the contacts open, C -36 starts to
charge. If the contacts are open for a sufficient length of time
for C -36 to charge to the point that the voltage will energize K5.
The contacts of K5 will break the hold circuit of K4 and the
plate voltage will be switched off. If K5 does not operate,
the overload contacts will close after an overload and the
plate contactor K2 will again energize.
K9 - Underdrive Relay -
Will prevent application of plate and
screen voltage to thé IPA and PA until the grid current of
the IPA reaches 8 mA or more. The contacts of K9 are
in series with door interlocks. In case of a plate voltage
trip -out due to low IPA grid current the recycle circuit will
not operate.
S9 - Air Switch -Closes after the air pressure in the plenum

reaches proper pressure, and switches primary voltage to
the PA filament transformer.
4.6 METERING
All necessary metering of the FM -10H3 is accomplished with four meters
located on the cabinet meter panel.
A multimeter provides the following:
IPA Cathode Current
PA Filament Voltage
PA Drive
A metering rectifier circuit is calibrated at the factory to give PA filament

voltage read on the multimeter. A PA drive detector, coupled to the grid
circuit, provides a DC voltage to the multimeter to indicate the presence of
RF in the PA grid enclosure.
The second meter reads PA plate current and is located in the Plate B+
lead. The meter is properly insulated and isolated behind a protective
plexiglass cover.
o The third meter reads plate voltage is located on the low potential side of
o the meter multiplier resistor.
The fourth meter is for indicating power output and VSWR on the trans-
mission line. This meter works in conjunction with the directional coupler
mounted in the output transmission line.
4-3
SECTION 5 - ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
5.1 REMOTE CONTROL
Remote control facilities are built into the FM -10H3 and require only
connection to either the Gates RDC -10AC Remote Control Unit or the
Gates RDC -200A Remote Control equipment. The connections to the
transmitter are made at TB -6 located in the base of the cabinet. Terminal
connections for the functions are shown on the schematic.
The functions are:
1. Fail -Safe, Filament ON -OFF.

2. Momentary ON -OFF for plate voltage.
3. Raise -Lower for adjusting power output.
4. Plate voltage metering.
5. Plate current metering.
6. RF power output metering.
5.2 STEREOPHONIC OPERATION
Provision has been provided for the installation of the Gates M6533 Stereo
Generator in the FM Exciter. Instructions for audio connections are given
.in the exciter section of this instruction book.
With the addition of the M6533 Stereo Generator the transmitter is FCC
type accepted for stereophonic operation.
5.3 SECOND HARMONIC FILTER
Upon completion of installation of the transmitter a check should be made

on the tightness of the Allen set screws at the adjustment end of the second
harmonic trap. There are two set screws that secure the short to the center
conductor. If these become loose for any reason and light contact is made
between the brass short and the center conductor, heating at this point may
occur, resulting in possible burning and eventual destruction of the short and
other parts of the filter.
A regular check on the tightness of these screws should be made at six month
intervals, as part of the preventive maintenance program for the transmitter.

FM HARMONICS IN THE TV BAND
The sharp upsurge in FM broadcasting has in some instances developed

unlooked for interference with local TV reception. In every instance this
interference is in so- called fringe areas for TV reception and where the
strength of the TV signal is weak enough that outside highly directional home
TV antennas are necessary. - - -- When this condition develops, the TV viewer
quickly learns from his service man that the local FM station is the offender.
--
- The FM broadcaster is immediately deluged with requests to eliminate
the interference. In some instances CATV (Community Antenna Television)
systems are also offended as they pick up weak distant TV stations. - - ----
What is the FM broadcaster's responsibility? Answer: To meet FCC rules
and regulations as related to harmonic radiation of his FM equipment but not
to guarantee perfect TV reception.
Below is a chart showing the picture and sound frequencies of TV stations
between Channels 7 -13 inclusive. Channels 2 -6 are not shown. FM harmonics
-
do not fall in these Channels. In fact, commercial FM station harmonics will
affect only Channels 8 and above -- look at the chart.
TV Channel Picture Frequency Band - --Mc -- Sound Frequency
7 175.25 179.50
to 197.75
8 181.25 185.50
to 185.75
9 187.25 191.50
to 191.75
10 193.25 197.50
to 197.75
11 199.25 203.50
to 203.75
12 205.25 209.50
to 209.75
13 211.25 to 215.50 215.75
The frequency range for commercial FM broadcasting is 92.1 Mc to 107.9 Mc:
- -- To determine the second harmonic of your FM frequency, just multiply your
frequency by 2. Example: If your frequency is 99.9 Mc, multiplied by 2 would
make a second harmonic of 199.8 Mc. By consulting the above chart, you will
note the second harmonic falls in the picture portion of the TV Channel 11.
Correct FM Harmonic Radiation
The FCC stipulates that transmitters of 3000 watts power and over must have
a harmonic attenuation of 80 db. For 1000 watts, 73 db., and for 250 watts,
66.9 db. All reputable manufacturers design their FM transmitters to meet
or exceed these specifications.
Fringe Area TV Strength Versus FM Harmonics
Let's take a typical FM station that radiates 70,000 microvolts per meter at
1 mile. At 80 db. harmonic attenuation (as called for by FCC), this station will
radiate approximately 7 microvolts per meter at mile on the second harmonic.
1
In the case of our Channel 11 example, it is estimated that a fringe area TV
station from 60 to 90 miles distance would have a signal strength of from 5 to
25 microvolts per meter. It can then be easily understood that a 7 microvolt
signal, well within FCC specifications, would definitely interfere with the TV
signal, yet with the FM broadcaster's equipment performing normally.
This is sometimes further aggravated by the FM station being located between
the TV station and the TV receivers. In this instance the TV antennas are
focussed not only on the TV station but yoúr FM station as well. The home
TV antennas are beamed at your legal second harmonic as well as the fringe
TV station.
What To Do
When interference occurs, it will develop ragged horizontal lines on the TV
picture varying with the FM program content. If the TV sound portion is
interfered with (usually not the case), then the FM signal will be heard in
addition to the TV sound.
1. It is not up to the FM broadcaster to go on the defensive. He did not put
the TV station 75 miles away nor did he select the TV Channel. - - -- In
most instances the condition is a natural phenomena that neither you, the
TV station, nor the FCC can correct.
2. Do not adjust the FM harmonic or "T" notch filters supplied with the
FM transmitter. These are factory adjusted and most FM stations do not
have the expensive equipment necessary for correct adjustment. Tampering
with this calibrated adjustment will probably make the condition worse.
3. Do not rely on TV service men's types of measuring equipment. They are
not built to accurately measure harmonics and invariably give erroneous
readings that invite the CATV or local service men's association to say
"I told you so." Remember it is difficult to radiate harmonics if the
equipment is built to suppress the harmonics and it is.
4. In many instances interference may be caused by overloading on the front
end of the TV receiver. This problem usually occurs when the receiver is
located close to the FM transmitter. This problem can be overcome by
installing a trap tuned to the frequency of the FM carrier. The TV service
man can and must learn how to do this. In most cases it works, while in
some instances, if not properly installed or tuned, it will not completely
eliminate the interference. In one case where interference of this type
existed, a TV station put traps for the fundamental FM frequency on
nearly every TV set in town. Not the FM transmitter.
Summary
The FCC is well acquainted with this nation -wide problem. If TV viewers write
FCC, complaining about your FM station, remember the FCC has received a few
thousand similar letters. -
--- It is not the obligation of the FM broadcaster to
assure fringe area reception of a TV station any more than is the obligation of
the TV station to assure the FM broadcaster perfect reception in his TV city.
Probably your installation will not have problems as outlined above. If they do
exist, don't blame the equipment. Every transmitting device puts out a second
harmonic, even the TV stations. The fact that these harmonics legally fall into
the spectrum of a TV station many miles distant is coincidental, but not your
fault.

SECTION 1 - DESCRIPTION
1.1 GENERAL
The TE -3 Exciter consists of five basic, interconnected, modular units; Power

Supply, Power Amplifier, Modulated Oscillator, Automatic Frequency Control,
and Audio Section. See Fig. 1.1.
The frequency range of the exciter is from 87.5 MHz to 108 MHz and it is
factory tuned to the customer specified frequency.
The exciter is completely self- contained. The oscillator of the exciter operates
at the carrier output frequency eliminating frequency multipliers. This insures
improved carrier stability and excellent frequency response when the power
level is increased in conjunction with high power transmitters. The output
power of the exciter is 10 to 15 watts.

3.2 TURN ON PROCEDURE
INITIAL
Connect input, output, and power leads as outlined in Section 2.
Turn on main power switch S-1 on the power supply and allow approximately
thirty seconds warmup. Set the AFC "OFF /ON" switch to the "ON" position.
The red "Alarm" lamp should be extinguished.
NOTE: If it is not, slowly rotate the 'AFC Adjust" control on

the modulator until it is extinguished.
Adjust the "DRIVE" control on the Power Amplifier for required output.
Select stereo or mono operation with the toggle switch on the audio unit.
After a roximately 30 minutes adjust the frequency by rotating R -48 "FREQ

A ' on t e unit or correct requency as read on a frequency monitor or
counter.
The TE -3 is now ready for operation.
NOTE: In routine operation it is recommended that the TE -3 be

left on at all times.
3.3 MODULATED OSCILLATOR ADJUSTMENT - See Fig. 4.3
The front panel control "AFC ADJUSTMENT" is a vernier frequency adjust-

ment. Two additional factory adjustments, coarse frequency adjustment (L3)
and the modulator bias adjustment (R6) are located on the shock mounted
chassis.
Turn the "AFC ADJUSTMENT" control to a mid -range position and turn the
meter switch on the AFC unit to the "AFC" position. Turn the AFC switch to
"ON".
NOTE: Within a few seconds the "Alarm" lamp should extin-
guish and the AFC meter should read on sca /e.
Adjust the "AFC ADJUSTMENT" on the modulated oscillator for a reading

between 29 and 31 on the AFC meter.
NOTE: The recommended operating range of the 'AFC" posi-

tion of the meter switch is from 22 to 35. Operation
within this range will assure that the modulated oscil-
lator is always within the capture range of the automatic
frequency control unit. This will assure that the auto-
matic frequency control will regain a locked condition
after a power failure or other interruption of power.
3.4 ALARM CIRCUITS ADJUSTMENT

The operation of the AFC alarm system may be verified in the following
manner.
3 -2
Momentarily disconnect the RF connector from the "AFC" input jack on the
modulated oscillator. Note that the "ALARM" lamp lights immediately.
Re- insert the connector and note that the lamp extinguishes within a few
seconds.
Note that the AFC meter is in the "AFC" position and rotate the "AFC
ADJUSTMENT" fully counterclockwise. Note that the meter reading has de-
creased to approximately 15. Momentarily turn the "AFC" switch off and on.
Note that the "ALARM" lamp illuminates and the meter returns to mid -scale.
Rotate the "AFC ADJUSTMENT" clockwise until the "ALARM" lamp is
extinguished. Set the "AFC ADJUSTMENT" for a reading between 29 and 31
on the AFC meter.

SECTION 4 - THEORY OF OPERATION
4.1 GENERAL
The TE -3 Exciter is self- contained with capabilities in excess of minimum FCC

specifications.
Each exciter is factory tested on the customer's frequency and satisfactory

operation is verified.
4.2 POWER SUPPLY - See Fig. 7.3 Schematic & Fig. 4.1 Photograph
The power supply consists of a two section unit. The two sections supply a
regulated 24 DC volts and a regulated 150 DC volts respectively. Both sections
receive AC voltage from a common power transformer.
NOTE: The 150 volt section is not used in the TE -3.
In the 24 volt supply, the AC voltage supplied by transformer Ti, is rectified

by diodes CR6 through CR9. The rectified voltage is applied to filter section
C3, C4, and R7. Q4 is a series control transistor that regulates the 24 volt
supply. A sample of the output voltage is compared with a reference voltage in
Q7. The reference voltage is supplied by temperature compensated diodes
CR10 and CR 1. Any change in the output voltage is amplified by 05 and Q6.
1
This amplified output causes series control Q4 to return the output voltage to
the value set by R11.
NOTE: The output voltages will remain relatively constant over

a temperature range of -20 to +70° C. The output volt-
ages will remain constant as the line voltage is varied
from 85 to 115% of normal 117 volt AC supply.
Normal load variations will cause no voltage change in
these supplies.
4.3 POWER AMPLIFIER - See Fig. 7.6 Schematic & Fig. 4.2 Photograph
The power amplifier is a four stage amplifier. Transistors Q1, Q2, and Q3 are
single stage amplifiers. Q4 and Q5 are paralleled to obtain the desired output
level.
Maximum power is 10 to 15 watts. Power output is determined by the setting

of R11, the input drive control. Transformers Ti and T2, along with the
associated capacitors C4 and C7 match the output impedance of these stages to
the low input impedance of the following stages. Inductors L1, L2, and capaci-
tors C14 and C15 match the output impedance of Q3 to the low impedance of
Q4 and Q5. The output circuit of Q4 and Q5 is a modified Pi type of circuit
consisting of L5, L6, and C19 and C20.
4.4 AUDIO UNIT - See Fig. 7.7 Schematic & Fig. 4.5 Photograph
The audio unit supplies the modulated oscillator with all main channel modu-
lation (excluding SCA). When the function switch is in the "MONO" position,
left audio input is filtered and pre- emphasized and applied directly to the
modulated oscillator unit. The composite stereo signal including the pilot is
completely removed from the modulation input of the modulated oscillator.
4 -1
If the function switch is in the "STEREO" position, left and right audio inputs
are filtered, pre- emphasized and applied to a resistive matrix. They then con-
nect to the stereo generator. The composite stereo signal including pilot
returns through the audio unit for application to the modulation input of the
modualted oscillator.
Left audio input circuitry consists of three fundamental types of circuits. First,
is a 19kHz notch filter consisting of L1 and Cl.
Resistors R1 through R5 and capacitors C2, C3, C4 along with inductor L2

form a 75 microsecond pre -emphasis section.
The primary and secondary impedance of T1 is 600 ohms. Right audio input
circuitry is exactly identical to left audio input circuitry.
When selector switch S1 is in the STEREO position, output of the left pre-
emphasis section is connected to the primary of Ti. The secondary of Ti
connects into the matrix consisting of R13 through R18. At the same time,
right audio input signals are routed through the right 19 kHz filter, pre-
emphasis network and T2. The secondary of T2 is also connected into the
resistive matrix.
Output of the matrix then produces the L -R and L + R signals for application
to the signal unit of the stereo generator. At the same time the composite
signal along with the 19 kHz pilot is connected through the relay to the input
terminals of the modulated oscillator.
When S1 is placed in the MONO position, audio input signals connected to the
left audio input, again pass through a 19 kHz notch filter and the left pre -
emphasis network. There the signal terminates in R11. R11 may be adjusted
to produce the desired modulation level for a given level of audio input.
Also with S1 in the MONO position the normal right stereo input terminals are
connected through relay contacts K1 for application to the input of a 41 kHz
sub -carrier generator unit if it is used. The 41 kHz SCA (if used) is muted
when audio is not applied.
The stereo generator is completely bypassed when Si is in the MONO position

and no stereo signals (or pilot) can modulate the main carrier.
When S1 is in the REMOTE position the mono to stereo functions may be per-
formed by the contacts of a remote control relay. This relay must perform a
holding function.
4.5 MODULATED OSCILLATOR - See Fig. 7.4 Schematic & Fig. 4.3 Photograph
The modulated oscillator accepts monaural, composite stereo, and SCA signals
and generates a stable, low distortion, frequency modulated signal in the stand-
ard FM broadcast band of 87.5 to 108 MHz.
The modulated oscillator consists of three sections; a stable oscillator, a buffer

amplifier, and a power supply regulator.
There are four inputs to the modulated oscillator; baseband for monaural or
composite stereo, two isolated SCA inputs, and an automatic frequency control
input.
4 -2
Three outputs from the modulated oscillator are as follows: An RF output of
approximately 500 millivolts into a fifty ohm load for automatic frequency
control (J -2). An RF output of 20 milliwatts to drive a power amplifier (J -3)
and a DC output proportional to the RF output level that provides a conven-
ient means of monitoring the RF output of the modulator (J1 -9).
4.5.1 OSCILLATOR
The oscillator is a modified "CLAPP" circuit operating at the assigned carrier

frequency at a power level of approximately 150 milliwatts.
The oscillator frequency is adjusted by L3 and R29. L3 is an internal coarse

frequency adjustment used to set the oscillator frequency within the adjust-
ment range of the vernier frequency adjustment R29.
NOTE: L3 is factory adjusted and should not be reset in the

field.
Resistor R29 is a ten turn potentiometer located on the front panel. See Fig.
1.1. R29 provides a reverse bias voltage to CR3, a voltage variable capacitor,
used as an electrically adjustable frequency control. A DC control voltage
from the automatic frequency control unit maintains the electrical adjustment
and is the frequency controlling element in the system.
Diodes CR and CR2 are connected to the oscillator tank circuit and are biased
1
to the linear region by resistor R6, the "Modulator Bias" control. See Fig. 4.3.
Modulation from the audio unit, or SCA generators, or stereo generator is

applied to the junction of diodes CR1 and CR2.
4.5.2 BUFFER AMPLIFIER
A broadband matching network consisting of L4 and C12 matches the collector

circuit of the oscillator transistor 01 to the attenuator network, R13, R14, and
R15. The attenuator provides a nonreactive load and isolation for the signal.
Transistor Q2 amplifies the oscillator output to approximately 500 milliwatts.
A broadband low pass filter comprised of C23, C24, and L6 matches the
collector circuit of 02 to the output attenuator, R20, R21, and R22.
The attenuator network reduces the output level of the buffer stage to a level
sufficient to drive the power amplifier and provides additional isolation for the
oscillator circuit.
A sample of the RF output of the buffer stage is directed to the automatic

frequency control system. An additional sample of the RF output is rectified
by diode CR8. The DC voltage derived from diode CR8 is used to provide a
meter reading on the AFC unit proportional to the RF output of the modu-
lated oscillator.
NOTE: The oscillator and buffer transistors are low noise silicon
"overlay" transistors designed specifically for VHF oscil-
lator and amplifier applications.
4 -3
4.5.3 POWER SUPPLY REGULATOR
The power supply regulator is a conventional pass transistor type using a zener,
regulated reference voltage applied to the base of Q3. The reference voltage is
temperature compensated by diode CR7.
4.6 AUTOMATIC FREQUENCY CONTROL UNIT

See Fig. 7.5 Schematic & Fig. 4.4 Photograph
The automatic frequency control unit is designed to operate in conjunction

with the modulated oscillator to provide a stable, automatically controlled, FM
broadcast signal in the standard FM broadcast band of 87.5 to 108 MHz.
The automatic frequency control unit is divided into five sections: Reference
oscillator, frequency dividers, phase detector, power supply regulator, and
alarm circuitry.
The AFC unit operates on the principle of the phase locked loop. The input
signal frequency from the modulated oscillator is phase locked to an internal
crystal controlled reference.
The AFC unit is energized from the FM exciter main frame with 24 V DC at
300 milliamps. In addition, 500 millivolts of RF at the carrier frequency is
necessary for operation.
A multimeter is incorporated (see Fig. 1.2), to monitor five parameters associ-

ated with the AFC unit, the modulated oscillator, and the power amplifier. A
red pilot light will indicate any malfunctions and a front panel switch disables
the AFC unit during initial tune -up and in case of malfunction.
Exact center frequency adjustment is assured by a vernier frequency control.
4.6.1 REFERENCE OSCILLATOR
The reference oscillator is a standard crystal controlled oscillator utilizing an

integrated circuit, 712. The oscillator frequency is adjusted with capacitor
C27 and diode CR10.
The first two transistors of the integrated circuit Z12 form an emitter coupled
amplifier and the third transistor is a buffer amplifier to isolate the load from
the crystal oscillator. The crystal is a high stability unit enclosed in a tempera-
ture controlled oven. The oven temperature is maintained at 60° C by the
closed loop system consisting of integrated circuit Z13, a differential amplifier,
thermistor RT1, transistor Q6, and resistor R38. R38 is used as the oven
heater element. The oven temperature is evaluated by thermistor RT1. The
output of RT1 controls the bias voltage at the base of Z13B. The bias voltage
is compared with the reference setting at the base of Z13A and the difference
between the two voltages is amplified and applied to the base of control tran-
sistor Q5. 05 regulates the current through the heater resistor R38 and con-
trols the oven temperature.
4.6.2 FREQUENCY DIVIDERS
Two frequency divider systems are incorporated in the AFC unit, one for the
modulated oscillator output and one for the reference oscillator output.
4 -4
The modulated oscillator divider consists of integrated circuits Zl through Z7
and divides the input frequency by 16,384. This is necessary to eliminate the
phase shift in the incoming signal caused by the frequency modulation. The
large division ratio permits full range modulation from twenty hertz upward
without upsetting the phase detector function.
All of the integrated circuits are bi- stable multi- vibrators or "Flip Flops ". The
resultant output of either side of the flip flops is a frequency one half of the
input frequency. The output at test point TP1 is 1/16th of the incoming
frequency.
Transistor Q1 is a buffer amplifier used to isolate and amplify the output of Z4

to a level sufficient to drive Z5. Integrated circuits Z5, Z6, Z8, and Z9 divide
each incoming signal by sixteen. Integrated circuit Z7 divides the incoming
signal by four.
The reference oscillator frequency divider consists of integrated circuits Z8 and

Z9 and divides the frequency of the reference oscillator by 256. This is done in
order to operate the crystal in the most stable range.
4.6.3 PHASE DETECTOR
The phase detector consists of integrated circuit Z10. The IC is a flip -flop cir-
cuit with the toggle input connected to the reference oscillator frequency
divider which keys alternate sides of the flip -flop. The resultant output of the
phase detector is a square wave with a duty cycle of fifty percent. The output
of the modulated oscillator frequency dividers is also a square wave. This signal
is differentiated by capacitor C9 and resistor R5 to form a sharp pulse. The
pulse is used to "set" the flip -flop Z10.
NOTE: If the frequencies at the input of the phase detector are

exactly equal, the output of the phase detector will be a
square wave with a duty cycle proportional to the
relative phase of the two input signals.
The square wave output of the phase detector is amplified by transistor Q2 to a

level of approximately twenty volts peak to peak. The signal is then filtered by
resistors R9 and R10 and capacitors C13 and C14 to remove the reference fre-
quency component of the signal. The amplitude of the remaining DC com-
ponent is then proportional to the phase difference of the input signals and is
used to control the modulated oscillator frequency.
4.6.4 ALARM CIRCUITS

Five circuits are monitored by the alarm circuits, three directly and two in-
directly. The alarm output, indicating functional failures, is displayed on the
front panel by indicator lamp DS -1. The alarm output is also available in the
form of normally open and normally closed relay contacts through the power
connector.
The circuits directly monitored by the alarm system are the reference and
modulated oscillator frequency dividers and the "out of lock" condition. The
circuits indirectly monitored are the reference oscillator output and the modu-
lated oscillator output through their respective dividers.
The output of the reference frequency dividers is detected and converted to a

DC voltage by diodes CR1 and CR2. The detected voltage is amplified by
Z11C and Z11D.
4-5
NOTE: Both amplifier stages are biased in a saturated condition
or cut off.
In normal operation both stages are saturated and there is no output from
Z1 D. If a failure occurs in this section, the voltage at the collector of Z11 D
1
will increase toward five volts. Diode CR5 will conduct, turning on Z14B and
Q3. When Q3 conducts, alarm lamp DS -1 illuminates and relay K1 is energized.
This action disables the associated transmitter.
The modulated oscillator and its associated frequency dividers are monitored in
an identical manner by Z11A and Z11B and their associated components.
An "out of lock" condition exists when the modulated oscillator is operating at

a frequency outside the lock in range of the phase detector and the automatic
frequency control circuit. When this condition occurs the phase detector out-
put will contain a large AC component in addition to the normal comparison
frequency and DC component. The AC component is directly proportional to
the frequency error between the two signals. The AC component is amplified
by Z14A and detected by diodes CR11 and CR12. The resultant DC voltage
turns on Z14B and Q3 in a manner identical to the presentation in the previous
section.
The comparison frequency present in the normal output of the phase detector
is removed by the filtering action of R27, R28, C20, and C21.
NOTE: The frequency response of the amplifier is such that

it will not respond to all signals outside the capture
range of the phase detector.
4.7 STEREO GENERATOR
A 19 kHz pilot signal is generated by a crystal controlled oscillator Q1 for the

composite stereo. 02 isolates this signal and the 19 kHz signal is applied to the
19 kHz tuned amplifier stage Q3. The secondary of transformer Tl is con-
nected to a push -pull doubler circuit consisting of transistors Q4 and Q5.
This stage in conjunction with transformer T2 generates a 38 kHz signal. The

38 kHz signal is applied to the balanced subcarrier modulator circuit consisting
of transformers T3 and T4 and diodes CR1 through CR4.
An L-R input signal from the audio unit is also applied to the balanced sub -
carrier modulator.
An L-R double sideband suppressed carrier signal appears at the output of T4.
Harmonics of this signal are reduced by forward biasing of diodes CR1 through
CR4 and by adjusting the harmonic null control R37. Sub -carrier null control
R48 balances out the residual 38 kHz sub -carrier tó a level of approximately
-45 dB.
NOTE: Second harmonics of the double sideband signal fall into

the band pass of the normal 67 kHz SCA signal. If these
second harmonic signals are not attenuated, crosstalk
from the stereo signal will interfere with the sub -carrier
channel.
4 -6
The L +R input signal from the audio unit is combined with the L -R double
sideband signal at the junction of C22, R53, and R60. A circuit consisting
of L3 through L6 and capacitors C29 and C30 adjusts the time delay of the
L +R input to match the L -R signal. A composite stereo signal appears at the
junction of C22, R53, and R60. This signal is applied to the emitter follower
Q12 from the output level control R53.
The composite stereo signal is amplified by Q13 and applied to the base of
emitter follower Q14.
The total composite signal with 10% 19 kHz pilot signal appears at the emitter
of Q14.
A pilot signal from terminal 4 of transformer T1 is applied to emitter follower

Q6. Maximum separation is maintained by the adjustment of the pilot phase
by the phase control between Q6 and emitter follower Q7. A pilot gain control
is incorporated at the emitter of transistor Q7. The pilot signal is added to the
composite output by connecting R27 to the emitter resistor of 014.
The second harmonic signal from R53 via 08 is amplified and inverted by 09.
This signal is applied to emitter follower Q10 and from Q10 to the amplifier
Q13, thus cancelling the harmonics.
NOTE: Crosstalk null control R33 cancels any remaining cross-

talk.
4.8 SUB -CARRIER GENERATOR

The sub -carrier generator generates the sub -carrier frequencies (41 or 67 kHz)
by utilizing two self- excited oscillators.
01 and Q2 are the individual Colpitts oscillators. Q1 oscillates at 900 kHz and
02 oscillates at 941 or 967 kHz.
The outputs from Q1 and Q2 are mixed by diodes CR1 and CR2. Filter net-
work L5, C13, and C14 remove all undesired frequencies.
The sub -carrier frequency is amplified by 03 and applied to a tunable low pass
filter. The filter consists of L6, L7, L8, C19, C20, C21, and C22, and removes
all harmonics of the sub -carrier frequency.
By variation of the base bias voltage the oscillators are frequency modulated at
an audio rate. The audio modulation is applied to the oscillators Q1 and Q2 by
the push -pull audio transformer Ti.
NOTE: An audio shaping network is connected prior to the
primary of Ti. The network is adjusted so that the
audio response will increase several dB at 5 kHz with
respect to the 400 Hz reference. The response will
roll -off above 5 kHz.
When this generator is used as a 67 kHz sub -carrier unit for use with stereo,
capacitors Cl and C2 are disconnected. The circuit then functions as a de-
emphasis circuit. The roll -off is above 3 kHz to avoid generating side bands
that would interfere with the stereo signal.
4 -7
A portion of the audio input is applied to a muting circuit consisting of 04,
Q5, Q6, and Q7. Q4 and Q5 amplify and square the input audio. The resulting
square wave signal is rectified by diodes CR3 and CR4.
When audio is applied to 06 the DC level at the base of Q6 and the bias of Q7
keeps Q6 and Q7 from conducting.
When audio input is removed, Q6 and Q7, conduct causing the impedance
from the junction of C17 and C18 to chassis ground to drop to a few ohms.
This causes the sub -carrier output to be attenuated approximately 50 to 60 dB.
N OTE: The length of time between sub -carrier shut off and
when the audio is removed from 04 is determined by a
capacitor network at the base of 06 in conjunction with
the mute time constant switch Si.
The Mute Level control, R32, determines the audio level required to turn
OFF the sub -carrier.

SECTION 5 - TROUBLESHOOTING
5.1 GENERAL
Each individual unit is thoroughly tested on the customer frequency before
shipment. If any unit fails to operate properly, insure that all connectors fit
properly into the respective receptacles on each individual module.
Isolate a problem to an individual module by referring to the overall block

diagram Fig. 7.1. Refer to the appropriate schematic of the module in question.
5.2 NO CARRIER OUTPUT
Check that the power supply is providing 24 V DC. If the pilot lamp on the
power supply is extinguished, insure that S1 on the power supply is "ON ".
Determine the condition of the 117 V AC connections at the terminals on the
rear of the exciter. Check the condition of F3, the 117 volt fuse on the power
supply. Check fuse F1 located on the rear of the cabinet.
If the pilot lamp on the power supply lights; check F2, the 24 V fuse on the
power supply.
If the power supply is providing the proper voltages, check the output coax of
the exciter for a short or open circuit.
Determine if the modulated oscillator is providing output by listening to an FM

Receiver tuned to the operating frequency. Check the output level of the
modulated oscillator as read on the AFC meter.
If the modulated oscillator is functioning properly and is providing power out-

put to the 10 watt amplifier, trace the RF signal through the amplifier stages
and compare AC and DC voltages with the schematic values.
5.3 CARRIER OFF FREQUENCY

Measure the "Locked" and "Unlocked" frequency. If the frequency is further
away from the correct value when the AFC defeat switch is on, the fault is
probably in the AFC unit. Determine if the fine frequency control knob has
been misadjusted. Check the power supply voltages.
If the AFC unit isn't functioning, the AFC switch may be turned off and the
modulated oscillator tuned to carrier frequency and operated temporarily with-
out AFC.
NOTE: Drift must be checked at short intervals when operating

in this mode.
NOTE: Some types of frequency monitors will display a nearly

"ON FREQUENCY" reading when the carrier is several
hundred kHz off frequency. The correct frequency is
the point where the AFC "Locks" instead of kicking the
frequency monitor off scale.
5.4 HIGH DISTORTION
Units other than the transmitter will usually be responsible for high distortion;
especially the console, amplifier, limiters, and audio lines. There are no active
elements present in the exciter at audio frequencies.
5 -1
5.5 HIGH NOISE
First establish the noise as to type. If the noise is 120 Hz ripple, check the
power supply. Disconnect the audio lines. If the noise originates from the
audio lines, check that the center tap of the audio output transformer of the
audio equipment is not grounded. In a remote controlled system, check all
isolation devices. Determine if the modulated oscillator is causing the noise
by disconnecting the audio unit and any SCA generators used.
5.6 EXCESSIVE CROSSTALK (Main & Stereo Channel to SCA Channel)
Determine if crosstalk is present on the audio input lines. The most common
cause of high crosstalk is in the detector and IF strip of the SCA monitor or
SCA receiver. Determine if high crosstalk is present on more than one receiver.
NOTE: Crosstalk may occur in improperly tuned stages in either

the transmitter or receiver. The tuned stages of the
exciter amplifier are very broad and should not cause
trouble.
5.7 POOR STEREO SEPARATION
Check the wave form at the output of the stereo generator and at the output of
the monitor or receiver detector. Determine if the pilot is on and is modulating
the main carrier 8 to 10%. Check the pilot phase.
5.8 POWER AMPLIFIER TUNING
All internal adjustments are tuned for maximum power output. R11, the input
"DRIVE" control on the front panel is then set for the desired power output.
5.9 AUDIO UNIT ALIGNMENT - See Fig. 4.5
S1 is placed in the "Mono" position to adjust the audio unit.
A 400 Hz, +10 dBm signal is applied to the left audio input. Adjust R11 for
100% carrier modulation.
A "Left= Right" signal of 400 Hz is applied to the left and right audio inputs
and S1 is switched to the stereo mode. Adjust R18 for a minimum 400 Hz
signal level at J11 -10 (L -R out).
A "Left =Minus Right" signal of 400 Hz is then connected into the left and
right audio inputs. Switch S1 to the stereo mode position and adjust R17 for a
minimum 400 Hz signal level at J11 -6 (L +R out).
Apply a 19 kHz audio signal to the left audio input terminal and adjust L1 for
a minimum 19 kHz output signal at J11 -6 (L +R out). Apply a 19 kHz audio
signal to the right audio input terminal and adjust L3 for a minimum 19 kHz
output signal at J11 -6 (L +R out). Adjust L2 and L4 for a 16.8 dB increase in
output level at 15 kHz as compared to a 400 Hz reference signal. Measure this
signal at J11 -6 (L +R out).
Connect the L =R and L =R signals into the exciter input terminals. Adjust L1
through L4 for minimum L +R to L-R crosstalk at 15 kHz. Measure at the L -R
and L +R terminals of the matrix.
5 -2
5.10 STEREO GENERATOR ALIGNMENT - See Fig. 4.6
C2 is adjusted to set the pilot frequency as observed on a frequency counter or

monitor.
R20, the doubler balance control, is adjusted for minimum 19 kHz ripple on
the composite output signal, This adjustment is performed without a pilot
signal.
The sub -carrier null control, R48, is adjusted for a minimum 38 kHz output.
Harmonic null control, R37 is adjusted for minimum second harmonic output
from the balanced modulator.
NOTE: The adjustment of R48 and R37 may be observed on an

approved stereo monitor, wave analyzer, or ultrasonic
display.
R53, the output level control, is adjusted to modulate the main carrier 90%
with a 400 Hz left or right audio input signal of +10 dBm. This level excludes
the pilot.
L1 is tuned to the second harmonic of the 38 kHz double sideband signal and
R33, the crosstalk null control, is adjusted to cancel out the 76 kHz compon-
ent remaining at the output of the stereo generator.
The pilot gain control R27 is adjusted to modulate the main carrier 10 %. The
pilot phase control, R24 is adjusted for best separation as read on a stereo
monitor.
5.11 SUB -CARRIER GENERATOR SETTING - See Fig. 4.7
The first SCA generator adjustments consist of tuning the output filter so that
there are essentially no harmonics of the sub -carrier present in the output of
the SCA generator.
L6 and L8 are adjusted for maximum attenuation of the second harmonic of

the SCA frequency. L7 is adjusted to minimize ripple over the sub -carrier
passband.
NOTE: The passband is considered to be the sub -carrier fre-

quency +15 kHz.
L3 is adjusted for an approximate output frequency of 900 kHz and L4 for

approximately 900 kHz plus the sub -carrier frequency. The L4 frequency is
generally 941 or 967 kHz. L3 or L4 is then fine tuned for the exact SCA fre-
quency.
NOTE: The SCA frequency must be compared to a frequency

standard. A non -metallic tool with narrow screwdriver
type blade is necessary for this adjustment.
The output level control, R30, is set to modulate the main carrier at the re-
quired level.
The Mute Level control, R32, is adjusted to turn off the sub -carrier output if
the audio input signal disappears.
5 -3
NOTE: Optimum setting is 30 to 40 dB below 100% modulation
of the sub -carrier.
Connect an audio signal at 400 Hz to the proper SCA input terminals of the
exciter and modulate the sub -carrier 100 %. Reduce the level of the audio input
30 or 40 dB and adjust R32 so the sub -carrier output disappears.
NOTE: S 1, the mute delay, is adjusted to whatever muting speed

is desired after the audio is removed from the input.
