adjusts the level of the signal connected to Pin 11 on U2.  The other half of the split is 
connected to the peak calibration pot R18, analog, which adjusts the level of the signal 
connected to Pin 8 on U2.  U2 is a Bilateral Switch IC whose output, digital or analog, is 
controlled by the selection of the modulation type in the exciter/driver Drawer.  In this BT 
transmitter the peak visual analog output connects to the amplifier IC U3A that is wired to 
the SYS_FWD and RMT_FWD Power Metering Outputs.  A reading of 2 VDC measured at 
TP1 is equal to a 100% Forward Power reading on the meter.  The SYS_FWD level 
connects to J9 on the board that is cabled to J11 on the exciter/driver Drawer for use in 
the control monitoring assembly.  The RMT_FWD level connects to J10 on the board for 
use by remote control and monitoring. 
 
A sample of the reflected output power, from the external (A11) output coupler, enters 
the board at the SMA jack J8.  The signal is filtered and connected to resistors R26, R22 
and R27 that form an input impedance-matching network to Pin 3 on U6.  The reflected 
power signal is detected by the RF detector IC U6.  The detected output at pin 7 is 
connected to the reflected calibration pot R25, which adjusts the level of the signal 
connected to the amplifier IC U3B that is wired to the SYS_RFLD and RMT_RFLD Power 
Metering Outputs.  A reading of 2 VDC measured at TP2 is equal to a 25% Reflected 
Power reading on the meter.  The SYS_RFLD level connects to J9 on the board that is 
cabled to J11 on the exciter/driver Drawer for use in the control monitoring assembly.  
The RMT_RFLD level connects to J10 on the board for use by remote control and 
monitoring. 
 
+12 VDC enters the board at J9-1, from the exciter/driver Drawer and is connected 
through a filter and isolation circuit consisting of C31, C14 and L5 before it is connected to 
the regulator IC U5.  U5 supplies the +5 VDC needed for operation of the ICs on the 
board.  The +5 VDC is connected through a filter circuit consisting of C15, C19 and C21 
before it is connected to the rest of the board.

(A7) Amplifier Control Board (1312260) 

 
The Amplifier Control Board uses a Programmable logic device to control the amplifier 
Drawer.  It takes an enable signal from an external driver Drawer, and turns the power 
supplies on whenever the driver has told it to turn on, unless it detects faults internal to 
the Drawer.  The board monitors the forward and reflected power, the heatsink 
temperature, the pallet currents, and the power supply voltage and will generate alarm 
signals if any of those parameters exceed safe limits.  The amplifier Drawer has no front 
panel display other than a two LEDs, one for Status and one for Enable.  The board 
sends all its output information, including the forward and reflected levels, back to the 
driver Drawer, through J4, so the information can be displayed on that Drawer's LCD 
Display.  The board will generate a Red Blinking Status LED if it detects an alarm, fault, 
prompting the operator to look at the LCD display on the driver Drawer to see what fault 
has occurred. 
 
The +5 VDC inputs to this board are routed through J4 and J5.  The +5 VDC inputs are 
diode Or connected so that either the +5VDC from the (A8) power supply or the +5VDC 
from the (A9) power supply will operate the board.  The +5VDC is split with one output 
connected to U1 a voltage regulator IC, which pr5V and +5V_ANALOG as 
outputs.  The +5 VDC is filtered before being connected to the rest of the board.  The
