3 Reciter Fault Finding
Important This equipment contains devices which are susceptible to
damage from static charges. Refer to “ESD Precautions”
on page 17 for more information on antistatic procedures
when handling these devices.
This chapter provides enough fault finding information to allow you to trace
the fault to an individual board in the reciter. A faulty system interface board
can be replaced in the field. However, if the digital board or RF board is
faulty, you must return the complete reciter to your nearest Customer
Service Organisation for repair or replacement.
The fault finding procedures provided in this chapter assume you are familiar
with the operation of the TB8100 Service Kit and Calibration Kit.
Figure 3.1 on page 71 identifies the individual boards. “Identifying the
Reciter” on page 70 explains how to identify the model and hardware
configuration of a reciter from its product code.
Note For the sake of simplicity and clarity, the instructions and illustra-
tions in this chapter refer to a UHF (H-band) reciter fitted with
an isolated system interface board. However, the same basic pro-
cedures and techniques apply to other models of reciter and system
interface board.
