CAUTION:
DANGEROUS
HIGH VOLTAGES ARE PRESENT WITHIN
THE CASE OF THE TS-530 WHEN THE TRANSCEIVER
IS TURNED ON.
EXERCISE EXTREME CAUTION TO AVOID ELECTRIC
SHOCK.
6 . 1 G E N E R A L
Your TS-530 has been factory aligned and tested to speci-
fication before shipment. Under normal circumstances the
transceiver will operate in accordance with these operat-
ing instructions. All adjustable trimmers and coils in your
transceiver were preset at the factory and should only be
readjusted by a qualified technician with proper test equip-
ment.
Attempting service or alignment without factory authori-
zation can void the transceivers warranty.
r C L E A N I N G
The knobs, front panel and cabinet ofthe TS-53O are likely
to become soiled after extended use. The knobs should be
removed from the transceiver and cleaned with a neutral
soap and warm water. Use a neutral soap (not harsh che-
micals) and a damp cloth to clean the cabinet and front
p a n e l .
r F U S E R E P L A C E M E N T
When the fuse blows. there is some cause. Be sure to find
the cause before attempting operation. Use a 6 amp. fuse
for 1 1O/12OV AC operation and a 4 amp. fuse for
22O|24OV AC operation. Under no circumstances use a
higher amperage fuse than specified: This can cause ex-
tensive damage. Also, the warranty will be avoid if an
oversized fuse is used.
r FAN MOTOR LUBRICATION
Every 6 months dust out the final compartment. and apply
a few drops of light machine oil to the front and rear fan
motor bearings.
W A R N I N G :
Be certain to disconnect power, and to discharge high vol-
tage before servicing in the final compartment.
6.2 SERVTCE POSTTTON
The TS-530 should be placed on its side, with the final
section up, for any alignmentor service. This position per-
mits adequate ventilation for the final tubes as well as
easy accessibility to the modules. Most of the described
adjustments can be made without removing the boards
from the transceiver.

When the RIT circuit is turned on, and the RIT control is
set to zero. the receive frequency should be exactly the
same as the transmit frequency. lf the frequency is not the
same adjust the RIT zero preset control, VRs.
To zero the RlT, turn on the calibrator and tune the VFO for
about a 1 0OO Hz calibrator tone. Turn the RIT control to
zero. Turn the RIT switch ON and adjust VR5 for the same
1O00 Hz tone. Push the RIT switch ON and OFF to be sure
the tones are identical.
