Scope
This manual describes the functions and features of the TCF–10B Power Line Carrier Transmitter
Receiver. It is intended primarily for use by engineers and technicians involved in the installation,
alignment, operation, and maintenance of the TCF–10B.
Equipment Identification
The TCF–10B equipment is identified by the Catalog Number on the TCF–10B chassis nameplate. You
can decode the Catalog Number using the Catalog Number Table in Table 2-4 and Figure 2-15 (see
Chapter 2).
Production Changes
When engineering and production changes are made to the TCF–10B equipment, a revision notation (Sub
number) is reflected on the style number, related schematic diagram, and associated parts information. A
summary of all Sub numbers for the particular release is shown on the following page.
Warranty
Our standard warranty extends for either 18 months after the equipment is in-service or 24 months after
shipment, whichever comes first. For all repaired modules or advance replacements, the standard warranty
is 90 days or the remaining warranty time, whichever is longer. Damage clearly caused by improper appli-
cation, repair, or handling of the equipment will void the warranty.
