Maintenance General The removal and substitution of components may damage the components and/or the printed circuit boards. In some cases, it is impossible to remove components without destroying them. Therefore, it is important to carry out as much diagnosis as possible with components in situ.
Maintenance CMOS devices A number of CMOS devices are used in the transceiver and most of them have built-in protection. However, their extremely high open-circuit impedance makes them susceptible to damage from static charges. Care must therefore be used when shipping and handling the devices and when servicing the equipment in which they are installed.
Page 51
Maintenance Unsoldering When unsoldering a component, use a solder sucker or solder wick to remove solder. Do not use sharp metal tools such as screwdrivers or twist drills to remove CAUTION components as these may damage the printed circuit track and plated thru- holes.
Maintenance Integrated circuit replacement It is often possible to unsolder and remove components from the board without damage to the component or the tracks on the board. However, ICs with many connections, mounted on double-sided or multilayer circuit boards with plated thru-holes, are almost impossible to remove intact and the operation is likely to damage the circuit boards.

NGT—Technical description (2010) Automatic level control The ALC is controlled by: • forward power • reflected power • drain voltage swing of output stage • battery voltage • overtemperature of heatsink • failure of transmit/receive or filter relays Drawing 04-03169 ALTERNATIVE TEXT All the ALC inputs (except relay detection) are applied to V7 to V10.
Page 119
NGT—Technical description (2010) The battery voltage is monitored by V5. When the supply voltage (A rail) drops to approximately 12 V, the voltage at the base of V5 falls and causes V5 to conduct. This changes the threshold of the forward power ALC detector. The ALC detector then starts to reduce the output power and since the control is linear, a further reduction in supply voltage continues to lower the output power.
Page 120
NGT—Technical description (2010) The output of the forward detector D1 is also applied to V8 via an averaging detector circuit formed by R40, R43 and C147. When the average of the signal exceeds the peak detector circuit V7, V8 takes control and reduces the output power (this occurs on single tones such as Tune mode, CW (Morse) and in some data transmissions).

8571—Brief description General information The information in this section should be read in conjunction with the NOTE block diagram 03-01108. Application of a 300 Hz control tone from any point removes all audio from the system in preparation for data signalling. Data is used to communicate to and from all microprocessors within the network and includes commands such as select Transmit mode (PTT), channel change, system status and so on.
Page 773
8571—Brief description Transmit audio path In Transmit mode, microphone audio from the master junction box is applied to the 8571 via an interface cable. The audio passes through a 300 Hz notch filter IC3 and IC4 to remove any 300 Hz that may be present in the transmit audio that could possibly corrupt the performance of the system.

8571—Technical description Backplane and power supply Drawings 04-02691 04-02541 The Backplane PCB provides the interconnections between the PCBs fitted to the 8571. It contains the transmit audio bus and receive audio bus, the I C bus, the 30 kHz clock, the 300 Hz detect and the regulators for the DC supplies.
Page 776
8571—Technical description Receive audio path Receive audio from transceiver Drawings 04-02691 04-02690 The receive audio is connected from pin 17 of the 15-way GPIO connector on the split- site interface controller via an interface cable to the 8571 Backplane PCB (drawing 04-02691) connector P1 pin 8.
Page 777
8571—Technical description Receive audio bus and audio gate Drawing 04-02541 From the Rx audio bus line, the signal is fed via the Backplane PCB to the Dual Line Equaliser PCB (drawing 04-02541) via connector P1 pins 30a and 30b. From here it continues via an isolating transformer T2, through the audio gate IC1 pins 1 and 2, to the input of the line driver IC102 pin 4.
Page 778
8571—Technical description 4-wire interface Drawing 04-02691 Four lines may be connected on the 4-wire interface. Line 1 is always connected, lines 2, 3 and 4 are optional. The receive audio for line 1 is applied to connector P3 pins 5 and 6 located on the Backplane PCB, and then via an interface cable to the 4-wire interface assembly.
Page 779
8571—Technical description Transmit audio path 2-wire or 4-wire interface Drawings 04-02487 04-02541 With the 2-wire link version, the transmit audio is received by land line and is terminated into a modular telephone connector fitted on the rear panel of the 8571, and is connected to the 2-wire interface assembly (drawing 08-03817).
Page 780
8571—Technical description In this configuration, the resistive cell is in series with a 20 kΩ resistor and a 1 nF capacitor C113. The resulting series network is connected in parallel to the input resistor R124. Because the cell is in the input circuit, and not part of the feedback network used in the amplifier IC103a described previously, minimum gain occurs when the cell has a high resistance (DC current on pin 16 at zero).
Page 781
8571—Technical description 300 Hz notch filter Drawings 04-02691 04-02690 From the Backplane PCB (drawing 04-02691), the Tx audio bus is connected to the Microprocessor & TCVR Interface PCB (drawing 04-02690) connector P1 pins 32a and 32b. It continues via an analog changeover switch IC2c selected to a 2-section digital filter, consisting of IC4, IC3b, IC3a and associated components, to produce a 300 Hz notch filter.
Page 782
8571—Technical description Signalling and microprocessor Microcontroller bus Drawing 04-02690 The microprocessor IC12 on the Microprocessor & TCVR Interface PCB is an 80C552 and is a member of the Intel 80C51 8-bit microprocessor family. It has 256 bytes of internal RAM, no internal program memory, two counter/timers, eight 8-bit ADC inputs, a watchdog timer, I C bus, and an internal clock oscillator.
Page 783
8571—Technical description 300 Hz control tone—generation and detection Drawings 04-02690 04-02541 The 300 Hz control tone is generated by the tone generator IC16 on the Microprocessor & TCVR Interface PCB. The clock frequency of 3.579 MHz is supplied from the oscillator in the Bell 103 modem (IC6) and connected via buffer IC1e to the three clock inputs of the tone generator (pins 9, 15, and 18).
Page 784
8571—Technical description From the output of the gain-controlled amplifier, the 300 Hz is applied to the detector circuit consisting of IC107a, IC107b, IC105b and associated components. IC107a and IC107b function as comparators. Their DC inputs are set by the resistor divider chain R2, R3, R4 and R5 connected across the 10 V supply to form a window detector.
Page 785
8571—Technical description Signalling format To enable the microprocessors to communicate with each other it is necessary to provide a signalling format that is recognised by all microprocessors used within the remote control network. Serial data from the UART in the microprocessor is converted to FSK format in the Bell 103 modem using tone frequencies of 1070 Hz and 1270 Hz at 550 baud.
Page 786
8571—Technical description The following external devices are connected to the bus: • IC105—an EPROM containing control firmware. The microprocessor selects the EPROM via the PSEN signal (pin 47). • IC106—a RAM device supplementing the microprocessor’s internal RAM. It is selected via the microprocessor’s Read or Write signals (pins 30 and 31) in conjunction with address lines A13 and A15, and is used for chip select.
Page 787
8571—Technical description Automatic equalisation Drawings 04-02690 04-02541 A request to commence equalisation of the 8571 may be initiated either by setting switch S1 on the Microprocessor & TCVR Interface PCB to position E (see Figure and switching the 8571 off then on again, or by sending a command from the handset of the transceiver.
Page 788
8571—Technical description If the ±10 mV tolerance is attained, the slave 8571 microprocessor instructs the master 8571 to report Optimal. However, if after the 20 attempts the tolerance limits are not achieved, the microprocessor instructs the word Acceptable to be reported. If the latter is reported, it means the line has been equalised and although it did not achieve the optimum settings, performance should be satisfactory.

8571—Fault finding Checking the slave 8571 Drawings 08-03905 08-03993 If the fault appears to be in the slave 8571, then unless the remote site is suitably equipped, it is recommended the equipment be returned to the workshop for the necessary repairs. To check the slave 8571: Place both the master 8571 and the slave 8571 in close proximity (for ease of servicing) and connect them together via a 2-wire or 4-wire line.
Page 795
To check an 8571: Ensure that all units are connected to the line and equalised. Remove the 8571 NGT I/F controller cable (Codan part number 08-05990) at the 8571 end. Apply a 1 kHz tone at a level of 1.2 V p–p to the input of transformer T1 on the Microprocessor &...
Page 796
8571—Fault finding From here the remaining receive path is shared with the signalling path and therefore is unlikely to be faulty. If the signal is absent at any of the test points, examining the neighbouring circuits should assist in locating the fault.

8571—Fault finding No transmission, with signalling The following fault finding procedure is based on a remote control system consisting of a single master 8571, a single slave 8571, and a transceiver. NOTE In the case of multiple systems, consideration must be given to the other units within the network when tracing this type of fault.
Page 799
8571—Fault finding Check that Transmit mode has been selected in the slave 8571 by verifying that the PTT line is low (IC12 pin 11 on the Microprocessor & TCVR Interface PCB). If not selected, check the 300 Hz threshold detector and associated circuits on the Dual Line Equaliser PCB for possible faults.
