117VAC or 13.8VDC operation. If the companion 1011D is operating from 117VAC power, the power connector for the FD-1011 is plugged into a mating receptacle on the rear panel of the Model 1011D. If the 1011D is operating from 13.8VDC, the FD-1011 is also connected to the 13.8VDC supply through two insulated binding posts on its rear panel.
Model 1011D is turned on, therefore, the FD-1011 power switch may be left on with power being controlled by the Model 1011D. Plug the miniature phone plug that is on the end of the FD-1011 coaxial cable, into the mating miniature phone jack on the rear of the Model 1011D marked ―FD-1011 ACC‖.
ON-OFF switch, which is combined with the VOLUME control on the 1011D, is turned ON. The front panel ON- OFF switch on the FD-1011 may then he left in the ON position at all times. When operated from 13.8VDC, the front panel ON-OFF switch must be actuated to turn the unit on and off.
4-1 GENERAL 4-2 This section of the manual describes, in detail, the operation of the amplifiers and logic circuits of the Siltronix FD-1011 Digital Dial. The descriptions are in two parts. The first, supported by the block diagram of Figure 4-1, describes the circuit functionally as a prelude to the more detailed descriptions of the second part which is supported by the logic/schematic diagram of Figure 5-2 and a timing diagram, Figure 4-2.
VFO frequency ÷5.5 KHz. A8 and A7 were each preset prior to the sampling period, to a count of 5. If the receiver is tuned to 28.000 MHz the input frequency to the FD-1011 will be 22.500 MHz. Since the gate is opened for only 10 milliseconds, the number of input pulses to A15 will be 225,000 which will he divided to 22,500 prior to the input of A10.
4-18 Reset 4-19 At the end of the 9 millisecond display period, the display is blanked. Counters A9, A10 and A15 are reset by timing signal inverted and counters A7 and A8 are both preset to 5 by completing the sample, display, reset sequence which is then repeated.
WARNING The FD-1011, when connected to a source of 117VAC contains voltages that are dangerous to life. Remove the plug from the power receptacle before removing the cover. 5-8 Circuit Board Removal 5-9 Remove the two #4 screws at the forward corners of the circuit board that pass through the small brackets and into the threaded standoffs that are swaged into the chassis.
