SECTION IV

FUNCTIONS OF OPERATING CONTROLS

4-1.

FUNCTION SWITCH

The FUNCTION control is a four-position rotary switch: (1) turns the unit ON

and  OFF,  (2)  selects  low  or  high  speed  operation,  and  (3)  has  a  center  HOLD
position for transmitter tuning purposes (key down).

4-2.

SPEED CONTROL

The SPEED control provides a means of adjusting the keying speed between

10  and  30  WPM  when  the  FUNCTION  switch  is  in  the  LOW  position  or  between
25 and 65 WPM in the HIGH position.

4-3.

SIDETONE CONTROL

The  SIDETONE  control  (knurled  shaft),  accessible  at  the  rear  of  the  unit,

adjusts the amplitude of the keyed monitor tone.

4-4.

BALANCE CONTROL

The  BALANCE  control  (screwdriver  slot  shaft),  mounted  at  the  rear  of  the

unit,  differentially  adjusts  the  gain  of  tube  V3  to  compensate  for  tube  section
differences  and  aging.  The  adjustment  should  remain  fixed  for  long  periods  of
time and need only be readjusted when V3 is replaced or when major service has
been performed.

To adjust the BALANCE control proceed as follows

(1)

Turn the control to its maximum counterclockwise position. The unit
will  key  a  continuous  dash.  Advance  the  control  in  the  clockwise
direction, and note the point at which the dash stops.

(2)

Turn the control to its maximum clockwise position and close the key
to dash. The unit will key a continuous series of dots as long as the
key is held closed to dash. Adjust the control counterclockwise to the
point where self-completing dashes are formed. Note this setting.

(3)

Set  the  control  midway  between  the  points  noted  in  step  1  and  2
above. The BALANCE control is now properly set and should require
no further attention.
