Circuit Diagrams, Theory, and Maintenance
2)
Connect the front-panel 1 MHz jack through a
50-ohm feedthru to an RF voltmeter.
Check
for 1.0 to 1.5 volts rms.
Disconnect the volt­
meter and connect an oscilloscope in its place.
Check that the 1 MHz output is a clean undis-
torted sine wave. Disconnect the oscilloscope.
3)
If a distortion check of the 1 MHz output is de­
sired, refer to steps 4 and 5 of Table 5-2, In-
Cabinet Performance Check.
TROUBLESHOOTING AND REPAIR
NOTE
For troubleshooting or tuning, the A6 As­
sembly should be mounted on a HP 05065-
6064 board extender. Power should be dis­
connected before this assembly is removed
or reinstalled.
a. Signal Checks
_
1)
To check Q1, Monitor 5 MHz at CR4.
_
2)
To check Q4, disconnect A10J4 to remove 5
MHz and inject 1 MHz (1.0 volts rms) at the
junction of R14 and R15.
Then check for 4
MHz (1 MHz X4) at CR4.
If this checks out,
leave the 1 MHz connected, re-establish the 5
MHz connection, and check for a difference 1
MHz CR4 output at the junction of R16 and
R18. If everything checks out so far and there
is no regenerative division, look for a mal­
function in the start circuit of Q5 and Q6.
In
case the dc start circuit is not working, the start
oscillator can be turned on by grounding R8 at
pin 6 to close Q5 switch.
b. Tuning Adjustments
1)
Connect a 50-ohm termination to the rear panel
1 MHz output jack.
2)
Connect a BNC tee to the front panel 1 MHz out­
put jack. Then connect a counter and RMS volt­
meter to the BNC tee. Connect the 5065A 5
MHz output to counter EXT STD INPUT and set
counter for external standard operation.
3)
Set front panel START AUTO-START switch at
AUTO START.
4)
Tune T1, T2, T3, and C21 for maximum indi­
cation on the RMS voltmeter. Counter should
indicate 1 MHz + 1 count.
5)
Carefully retune A6, T1, T2, T3, and C21 for
maximum output. Output level should be be­
tween 1.0 and 1.5 volts. This completes the 1
MHz divider tuning.
MODULE REPLACEMENT
When replacing the A6 Assembly after repair or when a
new A6 Assembly is installed, the instrument should be
completely realigned per the preceeding paragraphs.
