Service Manual 25C1020 (EA) T4 Diversity Receiver Characteristics General This manual tells how to service and align the Shure T4 Diversity Receiver (Figure 1). This single-channel, crystal-controlled unit operates within the z to 238 band. VHF-FM Á Á Á Á Á Á Á Á Á Á Á...
Shure T4 Diversity Receiver Circuit Description The Shure Model T4 is a single-conversion superheterodyne diversity receiver operating in the 169–238 z band. It is intended for use with the matching Shure T Series wireless transmitters. Stages Two complete, independent sections provide diversity reception. Signals enter via the single-element, quarter-wave antennas.
Shure T4 Diversity Receiver Channel B: This follows an identical scheme: noise signals from U2 are ad- justed by squelch level control R41 before being amplified by U108C, filtered by U108A, rectified by D107, and smoothed by C140. Comparator Circuits U106C and U106D compare the dc noise signals from the two channels.
Shure T4 Diversity Receiver Preliminary Tests Listening Tests Before disassembling the unit, operate it to determine whether it is function- ing normally. First and most important: Review the customer’s complaint (if avail- able) and focus your tests on the problem. If this proves inconclusive or you want somewhat more extensive checks, perform the following functional tests.

Shure T4 Diversity Receiver Disassembly and Assembly To access the printed circuit (pc) board, disassemble the receiver. CAUTION Observe precautions when handling this static-sensitive device. Disassembly 1. Disconnect all power to the receiver. 2. Collapse the antennas and rotate them until they lie flat against the case.

Shure T4 Diversity Receiver Service Procedures Reference Material The Shure Wireless System T Series User’s Guide provides a description of the unit as well as operating instructions, troubleshooting suggestions, and tech- nical data. Special Equipment and Tools In addition to the standard items described in the Service Equipment manual,...
Shure T4 Diversity Receiver Changing the Frequency The operating frequency of the T4 Receiver may be changed within a specif- ic group by changing the crystal on the pc board (for group information, see the preceding section). Check the receiver for proper operation before attempting to change its operating frequency.
Shure T4 Diversity Receiver Presettings Most field units should already be tuned closer to the desired settings than these approximations. However, you may need to preset units when you are changing the frequency or an coil, or when an unskilled person has attempted to retune them.

If you obtain different results, compare the dc voltages at U106, U107 (earlier units only), U103, and U105 [U108] with those of a prop- erly working unit, or replace the pc board. n If the muting circuit works but has insufficient adjustment range, set the generator for a –95 dBm signal and check...

Shure T4 Diversity Receiver n If you cannot set the audio level properly with R106 [R168], make sure that the other diversity channel is squelched: only one channel should be acti- vated during this adjustment. n If you can set the audio levels properly for each channel while the other is squelched, but these levels change significantly when both channels are ac- tivated, check U103.
On the pages following the parts list are the drawings of the printed circuit boards and the schematics. Product Changes This section briefly describes significant changes to the T4. Op Amps: The older part for U105, U108, and U109 (manufactured by Ray- theon) was replaced. No other component changes were involved.
Shure T4 Diversity Receiver Parts Designations The following comments apply to the parts list and the schematic: Resistors: All resistors are surface-mount with rating and 1% toler- ance. Capacitors: Unless otherwise noted, non-polarized capacitors are surface- mount dielectric types with a 100 capacity and a 5% tolerance, and polar- ized capacitors are tantalum types.
