Introduction

Installation: Mechanical

Unit mounting in a 19" rack, requiring 3.5" vertical space. All controls front-accessible.

Installation: Electrical

Details input/output connections, power supply considerations, and grounding.

Operating Considerations

Operating Instructions

Maintenance

Preventive Maintenance

Keeping the unit clean and periodically cleaning pots/switches for optimal performance.

Corrective Maintenance

Advises factory repair or skilled field repair for advanced circuit techniques.

Circuit Description

General

Divides the circuit into four major blocks: input/AGC, pre-emphasis/limiter, de-emphasis/output, and power supply.

Input Buffer and Broadband AGC

Explains the input stage using a FET-input opamp and the gain control element.

Program-Controlled Pre-emphasis

Details the high-frequency pre-emphasis circuit and its overload detection.

De-emphasis and Output Stage

Describes the complementary de-emphasis and the output stage circuitry.

Power Supply

Explains the AC input, transformer, and regulated +/-15V power supplies.
