THE OSCILLATOR'S INTERNAL OVEN MASS TEMPERATURE MAY BE
AS
HIGH AS 85°C (185°F). TO AVOID SERIOUS BURNS, DO NOT
REMOVE
OSCIUTOR CIRCUITS AND/OR OVEN MASS ASSEMBLY
FROM THE OUTER HOUSING UNTIL THE OSCILLATOR HAS SUFFI-
CIENTLY COOLED (APPROXIMATELY
1
HOUR WITH BOTTOM COVER
AND FOAM INSULATOR REMOVED). THE OUTER HOUSING
TEMPERATURE IS NOT A RELIABLE INDICATION OF THE INTERNAL
TEMPERATURE.
d. Once the oscillator
is
cool enough to handle, remove the osdator assembly by pushing on the tuning
capacitor
(FREQ.
ADJ.)
with a long, small diameter tool until the oscillator assembly can be
removed easily.
NOTE
Under no circumstances should the oven circuit be operated with the oven
mass removed from the outer housing. To do so
will
cause damage to
components inside the oven mass.

1.
Insert the oscillator edge connector into the
15
pin test connector.
2.
Connect pin
1
and
2
of the
15
pin test connector to an oscilloscope using a
50fl

Set
the oscilloscope to

8-430. EXCESSIVE DRIFT OF OUTPUT FREQUENCY. When the quartz crystal oscillator has not been
operated for a long period of time, or
if
it has been subjected to severe thermal or mechanical shock, the oscil-
lator may take some time to stabii. In most cases, the crystal
will
drift and then stabilize at or below the
specified rate within a few days after being turned on. In isolated cases, depending on the amount of time the os-
cillator has been off and the environmental conditions it has experienced, the oscillator may take up to
1
week to
reach the specified aging rate. This should
be
taken into consideration
if
the drift rate of the unit is out of
