WARNING: DISCONNECT POWER PRIOR TO SERVICING
5-102.
Refer to Figure 5-5A and adjust the transmitter coarse output tuning by raising or lower
ing the PA tuning line on top of the PA cavity. Refer to Figure 5-5B and coarse adjust the
transmitter input tuning cyclometers.
5-103.
Refer to Figure 5-3 and coarse adjust the transmitter second harmonic suppressor. The
suppressor is adjusted by loosening the two hex-head lock screws and moving the adjust
ment rod in or out as required. Do not rotate the rod during adjustment.
5-104.
Refer to Figure 5-4 and coarse adjust the transmitter neutralization.
5-105.
Refer to FM-250C publication 597-1004, PART II SECTION IV, AFC/PLL ASSEMBLY
and perform the FREQUENCY SELECTION procedure. Operate and test the exciter inde
pendently from the transmitter.
5-106.
Refer to SECTION II, INSTALLATION and perform the PRELIMINARY OPERATION
AND TUNING procedure to obtain a 10% power indication from the transmitter. Use a
spectrum analyzer to monitor spurious activity during tuning. Also, use an in-line watt
meter connected to the transmitter output transmission line for all power output indica
tions.
5-107.
Refer to the adjustment procedures in the preceding text and perform the NEUTRALIZA
TION procedure.
5-108.
Refer to SECTION II, INSTALLATION and complete the PRELIMINARY OPERATION
AND TUNING procedure to obtain a 100% power indication from the transmitter.
5-109.
Refer to the adjustment procedures in the preceding text and perform the SECOND HAR
MONIC SUPPRESSOR adjustment procedure.
5-110.
Refer to CONTROLLER SECTION II, MAINTENANCE and perform the FORWARD
POWER CALIBRATION and REFLECTED POWER CALIBRATION adjustment proce
dures.

TROUBLESHOOTING.
WARNING
WARNING
NEVER OPEN THE EQUIPMENT UNLESS ALL TRANS
MITTER PRIMARY POWER IS DISCONNECTED. USE
THE GROUNDING STICK PROVIDED TO ENSURE ALL
COMPONENTS AND ALL SURROUNDING COMPO
NENTS ARE DISCHARGED BEFORE ATTEMPTING
MAINTENANCE ON ANY AREA WITHIN THE TRANS
MITTER.
5-112.
Most troubleshooting consists of visual checks. Due to the dangerous voltages and high
currents in the equipment, it is considered hazardous to work with power energized.
Therefore, the various transmitter indicators (meters, LEDs, fuses, and circuit breakers)
should be used to isolate the malfunction to one of the specific areas listed below. Typical
meter indications are presented in Table 5-1 and transmitter primary power demand re
quirements are listed in Table 5-2.
