Expanded Voter System Alignment
In an expanded voter system consisting of more than one chassis, the following audio
alignment procedure should be followed. This procedure sets both TX & RX levels. See Figure
3-4 and Figure 3-5 for expansion cable diagram drawings.
For a dual-chassis system, start with the Expansion Chassis. For a three-chassis system, start
with the Expansion 2 chassis; this is the chassis furthest from the Master Chassis and has slots
for SVMs #25 through #36.
1.
Connect a service monitor to a receiver‟s antenna port. On the receiver‟s frequency,
generate a 1kHz tone at full deviation (FM; 3kHz normal, 2.4kHz NPSPAC. AM; 100%
modulation). Apply enough signal strength to fully quiet the receiver, typically 12 dB.
The 1kHz tone is used to simulate average voice (Test Tone).
2.
Now connect a transmission test set to the receiver‟s output audio pair. Set the
receiver‟s “Line Out” adjustment to the appropriate system level (normally -10dBm) for
the medium linking the receiver to the voter. Squelch the receiver and set its pilot tone
level for the appropriate level (typically same as average voice) and verify the pilot tone
frequency.
3.
With the service monitor still producing a 1kHz signal at the receive site, verify the
audio level measured at the associated SNV-12 terminal block (pins 2 & 1). It must
measure between -30 to +10dBm.
4.
Set the SVM‟s receive audio input potentiometer (R45) so that the 1kHz average voice
test tone just lights the NORM LED (Yellow). Verify this adjustment by connecting a
transmission test set to SVM test point 3 (TP3) and ground. The SVM-2 should be set
for +5dBm and the SVM-1 should be set for 0dBm.
5.
Use the SVM front panel switch to Select (force vote) the site being set up (note that a
site must be unsquelched before it can be force-voted). Now place that chassis‟ CIM
module on an extender card. Use a transmission test set to measure between TP1 and
ground of the CIM and adjust R67 for 0dBm. This sets the proper level of the Voted
Audio output to the next higher chassis (that is EXP 2 to EXP 1 or EXP 1 to the Master
Chassis.
6.
If there is only one expansion chassis skip this step, if two are in use, place the CIM
module for expansion chassis 1 on an extender card. Monitor its TP1-to-ground voltage
with a transmission test set and adjust its R67 for 0dBm.
7.
Now place the CIM module of the Master SNV-12 Chassis on an extender card.
Connect a transmission test set between its TP1 and ground and adjust the Master CIM
Voted Output pot (R67) to the appropriate system level for average voice to the console
(typically -10dBm)
8.
If the voter will not transmit console audio, make sure that the Master Chassis is in
Repeat Mode (CPM SW3-7 ON); steps 9-12 may be skipped.
9.
On the CIM modules for each Expansion Chassis change jumper JP2 to 1-2. This sets
them to input single-ended (unbalanced) TX audio from the next chassis in the system
(that is, into the Expansion 1 chassis from the Master chassis, or into Expansion 2 from
Expansion 1).
