T855 Initial Tuning & Adjustment

Copyright TEL 31/09/98
3.1 Introduction
When you receive your T855 receiver it will be run up and working on a particular fre-
quency (the "default channel")
1
. If you want to switch to a frequency that is within the
5MHz switching range (i.e. ±2.5MHz from the factory programmed frequency), you
should only need to reprogram the receiver with the PGM800Win software (refer to the
PGM800Win programming kit and Section 3.2 below).
However, if you want to switch to a frequency outside the 5MHz switching range, you
will have to reprogram and re-tune the receiver to ensure correct operation. In this case
you should carry out the short tuning procedure described in Section 3.4.
If you have carried out repairs or other major adjustments, you must carry out the full
tuning and adjustment procedure described in this section (except for Section 3.4).
3.2 Channel Programming
You can program up to 128 channel frequencies into the receiver’s EEPROM memory
(IC820) by using the PGM800Win software package and an IBM
PC. You can also use
PGM800Win to select the receiver’s current operating frequency (or "default channel").
If the receiver is installed in a rack frame, you can program it via the programming port
in the speaker panel. However, you can also program the receiver before it is installed
in a rack frame as follows:
• by using a T800-01-0010 calibration test unit;
• via D-range 1;
• via D-range 2 (standard T800-03-0000 auxiliary D-range only);
• via SK805 (internal Micromatch connector).
If you do not use the T800-01-0010, you will have to connect the PC to the receiver via a
module programming interface (such as the T800-01-0004).
For a full description of the channel programming procedure, refer to the PGM800Win
programming software user’s manual.
Note:
When an auxiliary D-range kit (D-range 2 - T800-03-0000) is fitted, you can
also select a channel with an external switch, such as the DIP switch on the
rack frame backplane PCB. Refer to Part C in the T800 Series Ancillary
Equipment Service Manual (M800-00-101 or later issue) or consult your
nearest Tait Dealer or Customer Service Organisation for further details.
1. Use the "Read Module" function in PGM800Win to find out what the default channel is.
