Error 76. AM Calibrator Modulators Unequal.
The difference between the
x 10
AM Cal signal for the
two channels is greater than 0.6V. See Service Sheet 30.
Error 77. AM Calibrator Channel
B
Out of Range.
The AM Cal level from Channel
B
is not within the
range of +1.8 to +2.2V. An unterminated CALIBRATION A M F M OUTPUT will cause this error.
See Service Sheet 30.
Error 78. Key Not Found.
A key closure was not found after a keyboard interrupt (except when a
keyboard entry is in progress). See Service Sheet
25.
Error 79. Audio Autorange Rangeback.
The audio autorange routine has found the audio signal level
is too high, has changed to a less sensitive range, and has immediately found the signal
is too
low. The
routine does not then range back, but instead displays Error
79
and remains on the low-sensitivity
range for the rest of the measurement cycle. The error signifies that the routine would normally have
ranged back but did not actually do it. This may have been due to the nature of the audio signal (for
example, the voice signal) or due to a problem in the audio gain stages or detection circuits. See Service
Sheet BD4.
Error 80. Audio Settling Timeout.
First-time measurement results are not output to the display until
the measurement result has settled or until one second has elapsed, whichever is first. Settling
is
determined by comparing successive measurements. This error message indicates that a one-second
timeout has occurred. This may be due to the nature of the signal or an instability in the audio circuits.
See Service Sheet
BD4.
Error 81. LO Tuning Adjusted to Center Signal in IF Passband.
This error message only occurs in
automatic tuning, low-noise lock. If the signal in the IF drifts out of the acceptable pass-band limits (see
the spectrum diagram in R F Frequency 7Lning in Section 3) but is still acceptable, the LO frequency
will be adjusted to center the signal in the
IF
passband. When this occurs, Error 81 will be displayed.
In certain situations it is possible to trick the Controller into making this tuning adjustment when the
signal is properly tuned; for example, when the IF signal has an excessively high AM depth (greater
than
99%
at normal RF signal levels) which cannot be accurately counted during the trough. Also note
that if tuning adjustments are necessary three times in a row (without any intervening measurement),
then the full auto-tuning sequence will be initiated, searching the entire spectrum for a signal.
Error 82. Unable to Make Audio Count.
The audio count routine utilizes the main Counter in its
frequency count sequence. The Controller initializes the Counter, which then waits for a "stop count"
signal from the Audio Counter. If this "stop count" signal does not occur within
100
ms the audio count
routine will time out. See Service Sheets
16
and 23.
Error 89. Software Error.
Perform the Read Only Memory Verification. See Service Special hnction
52.N in paragraph 8-7.
