PS6 protects the +12 VDC 2 Amp
circuits for the Remote through J63 pins
17, 18, 19 and 20. If this circuit is
operational, the Green LED DS6,
mounted on the board, will be lit
-12 VDC Circuits
-12 VDC from the Switching Power
Supply Assembly connects to J5 on the
board. The -12 VDC is divided into two
separate circuits each with a 3 amp self
resetting fuse, PS1 and PS2.
PS1 protects the -12 VDC 2 Amp circuits
for the System through J63 pins 1, 2, 3
and 4. If this circuit is operational, the
Green LED DS1, mounted on the board,
will be lit
PS2 protects the -12 VDC 2 Amp circuits
for the Remote through J62 pins 1, 2, 3
and 4. If this circuit is operational, the
Green LED DS2, mounted on the board,
will be lit
The connections from J62 and J63 of the
Power Protection Board are wired to J62
and J63 on the Control Board.
4.1.2 (A3) System Controller Board
(1310089; Appendix C)
In this transmitter, control monitoring
functions and front panel operator
interfaces are found on the Control
Board. Front panel operator interfaces
are brought to the control board using a
26 position conductor ribbon cable that
plugs into J60. The control board
controls and monitors the Power Supply
and Power Amplifier module through a
16 position connector J61 and two 20
position connectors J62 & J63.
4.1.2.1 Schematic Sheet 1
U1 is an 8 bit RISC microcontroller that
is in circuit programmed or programmed
using the serial programming port J4 on
the board. When the microcontroller,
U1, is held in reset, low on pin 20, by
either the programming port or the
external watchdog IC (U2), a FET Q1
inverts the reset signal to a high that
connects to the control lines of U5, an
analog switch. The closed contacts of
U5 connects the serial programming
lines from J4 to U1. LED DS10 will be lit
when programming port J4 is used.
U2 is a watchdog IC used to hold the
microcontroller in reset, if the supply
voltage is less the 4.21 VDC; (1.25 VDC
< Pin 4 (IN) < Pin 2 (Vcc). The
watchdog momentarily resets the
microcontroller, if Pin 6 (ST) is not
clocked every second. A manual reset
switch S1 is provided but should not be
needed.
Diodes DS1 through DS8 are used for
display of auto test results. A test board
is used to execute self test routines.
When the test board is installed,
Auto_Test_1 is held low and
Auto_Test_2 is allowed to float at 5
VDC. This is the signal to start the auto
test routines.
U3 and U4 are used to selectively enable
various input and output ICs found on
pages 2 & 3 of the schematic.
U1 has two serial ports available. In this
application, one port is used to
communicate with transmitter system
components where U1 is the master of a
RS-485 serial bus. The other serial port
is used to provide serial data I/O where
U1 is not the master of the data port. A
dual RS-232 port driver IC and a RS-485
Port driver is also in the second serial
data I/O system. The serial ports are
wired such that serial data input can
come through one of the three serial
port channels. Data output is sent out
through each of the three serial port
channels.
Switch SW1, transmitter operation
select, is used to select either
transmitter operation or exciter/driver
operation. When the contacts of SW1
are closed, transmitter operation is
selected and the power monitoring lines
