VXO tuning Polyvaricon CV2/CV3
Install the hardware shaft onto the polyvaricon with the 12mm-long, M2.5 screw.
Mount the Polyvaricon with a separation of 2-3mm or more from the board (see picture). This makes it
easier to fit the variable cap to the front panel. Please, do not solder it until you are sure of how you are
going to mount the board into the box.
You may want to mount the polyvaricon off the board. This may be a good idea and there is no
objection to doing it, but use very short and slightly rigid wires. Even small movements may
affect the tuning!
This polyvaricon contains two variable tuning capacitor sections. By means of external jumpers J1 A/B,
you may select which section you will use; section CV2, which is the one with greater capacitance, is
selected by placing jumper “B”; section CV3, which has less capacitance, is selected by placing jumper
"A".
CV2 has about 160pF, CV3 has about 70pF.
In the back of the capacitor there are two padders (trimmers) for fine adjustment. The lower one is
parallel with CV2 (J1-B) and the top one is parallel with CV3 (J1-A).
Adjusting these trimmers
changes the upper limit of band coverage by some 10-20 KHz!
The upper limit adjustment must be
done with the polyvaricon at its minimum capacitance (turned completely clockwise).
For the ILER-40, jumper J1 must be placed in position B.
IMPORTANT:
When screwing the polyvaricon to the front panel (M2.5 screws of 4mm) take care to not
drive the screws in too much, to avoid blocking the internal mechanism of polyvaricon. If needed, add
some washers to space the screws out from the panel to avoid this problem.
