made  by  wiring  to  a  screwdriver  type  terminal  block.    Audio  input  from  the  receiver  is 
unbalanced, while audio output to the voter is configured for 600 Ohm balanced operation.  The 
terminal block has provisions for a COR input (either positive logic “COR” or negative logic 
“/COR”), power input (+11 to +15 VDC) and ground.  Two LEDs are provided:  One indicates 
the when a pilot tone is being mixed; the other is a power indicator.  The pilot tone level and the 
audio output level (voice plus pilot tone) are independently adjustable. 

1.2.2

 

Circuitry and Block Diagrams 

Refer to Figure 5-1.  JP1 is the terminal block that interfaces all inputs and outputs between the 
PTG-10 and the outside world.  Audio enters the unit from a receiver at terminal 4 with respect 
to ground, terminals 1 and 7.  This audio is mixed at the mixer amp with the tone produced by 
the tone oscillator.  Tone frequency selection is made using switch SW1.  Placing the switch in 
position (0) will yield a 2175 Hz tone.  Position (1) will yield a 1950 Hz tone.  The pilot tone and 
receive audio tones are sent the final amp stage which controls the output level.  The output is 
sent to a matching transformer for balanced 600 Ohms.  When the unit receives a COR signal on 
terminal 2 or a /COR signal on terminal 3 the tone is removed from the audio chain.  When the 
unit  receives  a  COR  signal  (positive  or  negative)  the  yellow  COR  led  will  illuminate.    The 
balanced output is sent to pins 5 and 6 of JP1. 

1.2.3

 

Mechanical Assembly 

Please refer to Figure 2-1.  This drawing shows the front of the unit with rack mount tabs on each 
side plus the drawing shows the side, top and bottom views.  The rack mount tabs enable the unit 
to be bolted to one side (either side of unit) of a standard 19" rack, possibly on the rear of the 
rack behind other equipment.  Another option is bolting three of the units together side by side: 
this will span the standard 19" rack enabling mounting to the rack at both ends.  The unit consists 
of a ‘C’ shaped top cover that is attached by two screws to the main chassis.  The circuit board 
is secured to the chassis via four standoffs.   

1.2.4

 

Function and Operation 

Please refer to Figure 5-4.  The PTG-10 enables two conductors to carry both an audio signal and 
a COR signal.  The PTG-10 can also function as a line proving tone to insure the integrity of the 
audio link.  The tone produced by the PTG-10 will be notched out in the voter.  Two LEDs allow 
status  monitoring.  A  green  LED  indicates  if  the  system  is  getting  power,  and  an  amber  LED 
indicates when the system is mixing a pilot tone with the throughput RX audio.  The unit will 
accept either positive or negative logic.  Whenever the PTG-10 COR inputs gate the pilot tone.  
When COR is inactive, the PTG-10 outputs pilot tone.  This audio plus pilot tone signal can be 
sent to a voter via a microwave link, leased lines or twisted pair.      

1.2.5

 

Power Supply 

Power is fed into the unit via pin 8 of JP1 and ground on pins 1 and 7; this is shown on Figure 
5-1 and Figure 5-3.  The unit produces three different voltage supplies, +12 VDC, +5 VDC, and 
- 10 VDC.  Under normal conditions the system should draw approximately 40 mA.  The input 
is  reverse  polarity  protected.  If  the  power  polarity  is  accidentally  reversed,  the  unit  will  not 
operate, but it will not be damaged. 

1.2.6

 

Limitations 

The PTG-10 audio input is single-ended rather than balanced (to match the RX output signal of 
many  receivers).    The  PTG-10  should  be  placed  near  the  receiver  so  that  the  common  mode
