WARNING: Disconnect and lockout AC primary power prior to servicing

8.5.2.5 VSWR Protection Check 

• 

Precise Method: 

STEP 1:  

Connect a 50 ohm termination to the module RF input. Connect a signal 

generator, test amplifier, and power meter to the module output per 
Figure A-7. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  Figure 8-9 VSWR Protection Test Setup 

 

STEP 2:  

Apply 50 V DC and enable the module. 

 

STEP 3:  

Set the signal generator to the Aural carrier frequency and apply 94.5 

Watts CW into the PA module RF output. 
 

STEP 4:  

Slowly adjust R8 CCW until the module disables and gives a blink code 

of one on the red LED. 
 

STEP 5:  

Reduce the signal generator level and enable the module. Slowly raise 

the signal generator level while monitoring the power applied to the 
module. The module should disable between 90 and 100 Watts. If not, 
readjust R8 as required. 
 

STEP 6: 

Turn off the 50 V DC. 

 

• 

Field Calibration 

If the control card has functioning power supplies, measure the voltage at U6 pin 4 and 
adjust R8 for the same voltage on the new board. 
 

OR 
 

Measure the resistance from wiper of R8 to ground and adjust R8 for the same resistance 
value.
