Task 3 —
Check Audio Input
1. Connect a 1kHz audio signal to the balanced input (LINE INPUT)
on the CTU. Set the level of the audio signal to the level of audio
input sensitivity of the currently selected channel.
Note To view the audio input sensitivity of the currently selected chan-
nel, select Configure > Base Station > Channel Profiles. In the
Edit Channel Profile screen, go to the Signal Path tab. The sensi-
tivity is normally –10dBm for the balanced input, and 1V
pp
for
the unbalanced input.
2. Run the Service Kit and connect to the reciter. Put the reciter in
Standby mode. Select Diagnose > Reciter > Audio I/O and check
that the level displayed in the Audio Input gauge is the same as the
input level of the audio signal.
3. Reconnect the audio signal to the unbalanced input (UB INPUT) on
the CTU.
4. Select Diagnose > Reciter > Audio I/O and check that the level
displayed in the Audio Input gauge is the same as the input level of
the audio signal.
5. If either audio input level is incorrect, recalibrate the line levels using
the Calibration Kit and repeat the test. If the line levels are now
correct, go to “Final Tasks” on page 95.
If the line levels are still incorrect, either the digital board or system
interface board is faulty. If the voltage displayed on the gauge is
greater than the measured input voltage, go to Step 6. If the voltage
displayed on the gauge is less than the measured input voltage, go to
Step 7.
6. Measure the audio voltages at the following test points on the system
interface board:
balanced line in IC206 pin 1
IC211 pin 7
unbalanced line in IC202 pin 7
Both balanced line in voltages should be approximately 0.5V
pp
. If the
voltages are greater than 0.5V
pp
, replace the system interface board.
If the voltages are 0.5V
pp
or less, the digital board is faulty. Return
the complete reciter to your nearest CSO for repair or replacement.
The unbalanced line in voltage should be approximately 1V
pp
. If the
voltage is greater than 1V
pp
, replace the system interface board. If the
voltage is 1 V
pp
or less, the digital board is faulty. Return the com-
plete reciter to your nearest CSO for repair or replacement.
