90479-B/C Receiver Housing
The input cable assembly leading to the 8-way splitter, the 8-way
splitter, and the output cable assemblies from the 8-way splitter
amount to a total loss of approximately -13 dB, from the receiver
housing rear panel to the front panel. To access and verify the
through loss of a 90479-B or 90479-C, monitor the RF signal
amplitude at the output of the antenna 1 cable at the rear panel of
the receiver housing. Reconnect this cable and monitor the antenna
1 output on one of the front panel cables. If these levels are
approximately the same, the input cable assembly, the 8-way
splitter, and the output cable assembly are functioning correctly.
Repeat these measurements for ANT 2. It may be necessary to
check all 16 front panel wall outputs to verify that a cable or an 8-
way splitter output port is not bad.
If squelch occurs frequently on only one channel, verify that the
transmitter has a fresh battery and is operating within the antenna
coverage area. Then check to see if the antenna lead wire (the RA
lead on the transmitters) is properly connected to the transmitter
and is not damaged.
Tune an unused receiver to the same channel number. If the problem
occurs on both receivers, suspect an interference problem. Using the
spectrum analyzer, check for the occurrence of co-channel or
adjacent channel interference. It may be necessary to power OFF
the telemetry transmitter to observe co-channel interference.
Ensure that you observe long enough to capture an intermittent
problem. If no interference is found, suspect a defective transmitter.
If the second receiver is not experiencing squelch, first suspect a
cable problem at the receiver input. Swap antenna input cables
between the two modules. If the problem now appears on the
second module, suspect a defective cable. If the problem stays with
the first module, suspect a defective receiver module.
Observe LED3. If the transmitter is moving, LED3 should be
switching between ON and OFF fairly regularly and should spend
about half its time ON and half OFF. If this is not the case, and
operation of the diversity antenna system and cables has been
verified, suspect a defective RF PCBA in the module.
Signal Interference
Signal interference is the appearance of a 15-Hz triangle waveform,
similar to the squelch waveform, and is caused by an outside source.
Reducing Squelch
If squelch is continually displayed on unused channnels for longer
than 20 seconds, or used channels longer than 2 seconds, first
perform the following:
•
Verify that the measured antenna system gain is within
specifications.
•
Verify that there are no faulty subsystem components, such as
