Use a DMM to measure
the
DC-levels
according
to
Table

-
Connect the signal generator to
the
HF input of the
counter.
-
Set
the
input frequency to 100 MHz and
set the amplitu-
de to
-15
dBm,
(40
mVRMS).
-
Connect the oscilloscope to BUT
pin 4.
-
Verify that
the amplitude
is 800 mV
p-p
and
that
the pe-
riod time is
2.56
\is, (frequency
390
kHz). The DC level
should be 3.8 V.
If everything
seems all right
the fault is
probably caused by
the base
unit.
“
Connect the DMM to TP3
and
TP4 (GND).
-
Disconnect
the
input signal.
-
Check that the DC
voltage
drops
~
200 mV.
If this last measurement is OK,
you can skip the Overvolta-
ge Protection Control.
Overvoltage
Protection Control
-
Connect the signal generator to
the
HF input of the
counter.
-
Set the
input frequency
to 100 MHz, and set
the
amplitu-
de to 13 dBm,
(1
Vrms).
-
Check the DC
voltages
according to
0.

-
Connect the DMM to IC2 pin 2.
-
Check that the DC voltage
is
-
300 mV.
-
Check that the
amplitude
at 1C1 pin 1 is
one
third
of the
amplitude at BUI.
-
Check that the amplitude
at 1C1 pin 5 is
==
300 mVp-p.
-
Check that the amplitude at TS1
collector
and TS2 emit-
ter is 500 mVp-p.
Level Detector Control
-
Disconnect the
signal generator
from the
counter.
-
Check the level detector according to the table below.
-
Connect the signal generator to
the
HF
input of
the
counter.
-
Set the input
frequency
to
100
MHz and
the
amplitude to
13 dBm,
(1
