TBA0STU/TBA0STP CTU Operation Manual Using the CTU with a TB8100 19

4 Using the CTU with a TB8100

The CTU provides a selection of input and output connectors that allow the

TB8100 base station to be connected to standard test equipment, and also

to a PC running the Service Kit or Calibration Kit software. These inputs,

outputs and associated controls are identified in Figure 4.1 on page 20, and

their functions are explained in the paragraphs which follow. Some items

are not used with the TB8100, and others serve one function with the

TB8100 and another with the TB7100 or TB9100. Any differences in

function are described in the table that accompanies Figure 4.1. A block

diagram of the CTU is provided in Figure B.1 on page 40.

The CTU is designed to make it easier to program, tune or calibrate

TB8100 modules. It also allows a user to monitor and control the inputs

and outputs available on the reciter’s system interface connector.

Figure 4.3 on page 26 shows a typical connection setup between the CTU

and a TB8100 base station. Refer to the TB8100 Calibration Kit

documentation for details on how to use the CTU for tuning and calibrating

TB8100 modules.

Important Do not power the CTU from a PMU fitted with a 48V

auxiliary power supply board. The maximum supply volt-

age for the CTU is 32VDC. Use either a PMU 12VDC or

24VDC auxiliary output, or an external power supply.

Note that the auxiliary output can be supplied to the CTU

via the system interface connector on the reciter if the aux-

iliary DC power cable is fitted, as well as via a direct con-

nection to the PMU auxiliary output.
