234 Frequency Synthesizer Fault Finding TM8100/TM8200 Service Manual

Also, the VCXO input to the mixer (see Figure 9.17), although
noisy and difficult to measure, should be:
6. Confirm the removal of the fault and go to Ta sk 3 8
. If the repair
failed, replace the board and go to “Final Tasks” on page 157.
Task 38 —
TP501 Test Point
If the signal at the TP502 test point is correct, check the signal at the TP501
test point:
1. With the oscilloscope probe at the
TP501 test point
(see Figure 9.17), check the DAC output
CDC VCXO MOD. If a
triangular wave is present, go to Step 2. Otherwise go to “VCXO and
CODEC Circuitry” on page 237.
2. A fault is causing the loop to oscillate. If not already done, remove the
FCL TOP can.
3. Check the waveform at the
TP500 test point (see Figure 9.17).
The waveform should be an amplified and inverted version of the
waveform at the
TP501 test point.
A4 band:
TP500 is not marked, but the waveform can be checked at
the via adjacent C518.
4. If the waveform is correct, go to Step 5. If it is not, there is a fault in
the modulator buffer amplifier (IC502 pins 1 to 3, and associated
components) (see Figure 9.17). Rectify the fault and return to Step 1.
5. Connect the
TP501
test point
to ground by resoldering
R527
in the
position shown in
Figure 9.17
. The VCXO loop voltage is forced high.
6. Use the oscilloscope probe to check the VCXO output at C536 —
probe the via next to C536 (see Figure 9.17). The signal should be:
7. If the signal is correct, go to Tas k 3 9
. If it is not, go to Step 8.
8. The VCXO circuitry is faulty. If not already done, remove the
VCXO
BOT can.
9. Locate and repair the fault in the VCXO circuitry (Q501, Q503,
XL501 and associated components) (see Figure 9.18).
10. Confirm the removal of the fault, and go to Task 39
. If the repair
failed, replace the board and go to “Final Tasks” on page 157.
