ADJUSTMENTS
5-42. RF OSCILLATOR END STOP ADJUSTMENT
REFERENCE:
Service Sheets 5, 6, and 7.
DESCRIPTION:
This procedure describes the adjustment of the high and low frequency end stops of the RF Oscillator (A3). Slight
adjustment of the end stops may be necessary when the RF Oscillator or Fine Tune assembly has been repaired or
replaced. No special tools are required.
Normally, the adjustment can be made with the RF Oscillator in place. However, if the oscillator has already been
removed, the adjustment is easier if the Connector Board Assembly (A3A4) is plugged in and the oscillator set into place
with the front resting on the front panel trim strip. Temporarily connect the RF cable (W2) to the counter and install the
FREQUENCY TUNE knob.
PROCEDURE:
1. Set Signal Generator's controls as follows:
RANGE.................................................................................
0.5-1 MHz
FINE TUNE...........................................................................
Centered
LINE ....................................................................................
OFF
2. Remove bottom cover.
3. Switch LINE to ON and let instrument warm up for one hour.
4. Check that Varactor Anode bias is -14.70 ± 0.01 Vdc at A7TP2.
5. Tune FREQUENCY TUNE fully ccw. Compare the position of the stop ring teeth with Figure 5-11.
NOTE
Notice how the teeth on the stop rings line up in a staircase at the end stops. The stop pin and
the adjustable stop ring determine the lower frequency limit. The stop pin and forward most
stop ring determine the high frequency limit, however, adjustment of this will also effect the low
frequency limit.
6. Adjust FREQUENCY TUNE fully cw. The frequency should read between 1.0752 and 1.0760 MHz.
If it does not, note how far off the frequency is.
7. Adjust FREQUENCY TUNE ccw until first setscrew on front adjustment collar appears. Loosen setscrew.
8. Tune further ccw until second setscrew appears.
9. Loosen setscrew and rotate FREQUENCY TUNE up or down by the amount of correction needed (as noted in
step 6), and tighten setscrew. Do not allow front adjustment collar to rotate.
