1. Safety Information W. Dittel GmbH • Prior to any flight verify proper FSG 90F(X) functions by means of a short communications test. It has to be taken into account that with a faulty antenna or cable this COM test may absolutely turn out positive at the airfield or in short distance to the ground station.
This installation and operating manual IM 034.00 contains instructions and descriptions for application, installation, presetting operation and testing, as well as interconnecting diagrams of the multi-use FSG 90F / FSG 90F-H1 VHF/AM Transceiver System of Walter Dittel GmbH, Luftfahrtgeraetebau, D-86899 Landsberg, Germany.
• Direct Tune Mode: Active channel name or frequency only. With the Dual Mode models FSG 90F and FSG 90F-H1, up to 99 channel memories in 8.33 kHz / 25 kHz CH spacing (6-digit display), and another set of up to 99 channels in the '25 kHz only' CH spacing (5-digit display) can be preset.

Receive by speaker and / or headphone. 30 mA current consumption saving can be achieved in standby mode (Squelch ON), when the FSG 90F(X) is used in installations, where no external audio is required for speaker output. Listening through headphone remains however possible. This external AF OFF function may be selected in SET-UP.
W. Dittel GmbH System and Type Approval Information The Dual VHF/AM Airband Transceivers FSG 90F(X) comply for both, the combined 8.33 kHz/25 kHz as well as "25 kHz only" channel spacing with all applicable National and International Type Approval requirements, for any airborne and ground operations.
Always ensure IDENTICAL microphones are used for parallel operation. Similar requirements are applicable for headphone characteristics. f) Always ensure that during SET-UP all of the many FSG 90F(X) functions are adjusted to achieve optimized radio system performance. g) Operation of amplified microphone systems close to the radiating...

For FSG 90F set supply to 13.8 Vdc at radio input terminals. For FSG 90F-H1 set supply to 14.0 Vdc at radio input terminals. Turn ON the radio with the ON/OFF/VOL switch on front panel. Switch OFF the Squelch (push SQ button).
(spectrum mask) is the only true, real measurement method. Such measurements can be made only with specific test setup. 7. For tests of the FSG 90F(X) modulation capability, a sine modulation signal is useful only below some 70% AM depth, and is on the other hand helpful only in determining of possible overmodulation, but is not applicable to judge "voice distortion"...

FSG 90F(X) VHF/AM transceivers are designed to be installed into the instrument panel or operating console from its front side. Fixing is made by four DZUS fasteners (ARINC NORM SIZE). All dimensions to install the FSG 90F(X) refer to Figure 3-3. For installation of the fastener strips refer to Figure 3-4.

• Distance to other aircraft antennas, like another COM, NAV antenna, should be at least 1.5 m/5 ft. When using two radios FSG 90F(X), a distance of 1 m/3.3 ft. between COM antennas is sufficient. • The antenna mounting area should be as flat as possible.
Cable connector case mounting shall not clamp or damage the wiring. • The FSG 90F(X) is protected against reversed polarity only when using a suitable DC supply protection fuse. For 6 Watt models, we suggest a 3.15 Amp. quick acting fuse or an automatic 3 amp circuit breaker.

During receive, while IC is ON, both the IC loudness and external audio volume are temporarily reduced to improve receive intelligibility. Receiving volume is set on the FSG 90F(X) front panel (VOL), while intercom volume can be optimized with a SET-UP adjustment.
• In order to save current while supplied from battery an external suitable illumination switch is suggested. The FSG 90F(X) includes a display which can be back-lit. Pin 23 may be connected either directly to 14 Volt or to the switched 13.3 Vdc output Pin 24 (perhaps via a suitable dimmer).
3.6.2 Ground checks with engine running It must be ensured that the aircraft's electrical DC system voltage at the FSG 90F(X) input terminals is within the tolerances permitted at 14 Vdc (or 28 V with DC converter).
