3. Electrical Characteristics

a. Ol'~;RA'l'ING HANGE. 'I'he normal operating range with any other Radio Set SCR-299- ( ), SCR-399- ( ), or SGR-499- ( ) for two-way voice communication is 100 miles. The use of continu(HIS-WaVe (c-w ) transmission will increase the range to 250 miles or more, depending upon the frequencies chosen and the time of day or year.

b. FREQUENCY RANGE. The frequency range for Radio Transmitters BC-610-A throngh -D is from 2 to 8 megacycles (me). See section II, for differerences in models. The frequency range for model BC-610-E is from 2 to 18 me. Provision is made for plugging in tuning units to accomplish transmission at various frequencies,

c. FREQUENCY CONTROL. Frequency control is maintained by master oscillator or by crystal, and selection is made by switch (M.o.-xrl'AL) which is on each tuning unit.

d. TYp~) 01<' TRANSMISSION. 'I'hese 'I'ransrrritters are designed to send continuous-wave (c-w ) or voice signals using amplitude modulation.

c. POWFJR Ixr-ur. The transmitter pOWel" requirements are 1700 to 2000 watts, 115 volts, 50-60 cycles a-c. Radio Transmitter BC-t)1 O-E requires 117 volts.

f. POWFJR OU'l'PU'l'. Power output of the transmitters exceeds 400 watts when on continuous wave and 300 watts when on voice.

4. Transmitter Assembly

Radio 'I'ransmttters BC-f;10-(*) are ruggedly built, similar in appearance, and identical in size. They all weigh 4011/2 Ibs, exduding the shock mount base which weighs ;)1 lbs, 'I'he assembly is composed of the following sections :

a -, l'I'I'ER CHASSIS. The upper chassis includes the radio-frequency components, filament supply for the radio-frequency tubes, plug-in tuning units, and all indicating instruments. (See figs. 4, 5, H, and 10.)

b. CF;NTER CHASSIS, The center chassis contains all of the audio and modulator sections which are not included in Speech Amplifier BC-614-( ). Also included on this chassis are power supplies for the bias and audio driver circuits as well m; the plate

4

I

transformer for the exciter plate voltage l·ectifiel'. (See figs. 11 and 12.)

C. LOWFJR CHASSIS. The lower chassis includes the complete high-voltage power supply together with its overload relay. This chassis is bolted by large wing bolts to the shock-mounting cradle which holds the transmi tter to the floor. (See figs. 14 and 15.)

d. ]'RON'I' PANEL. On the upper part of the front panel are mounted the varous meters and switches:

On the lower section are mounted sw i tches for handling power application, the GW - PHONE switch, a reset switch for the overload relay, and eon trols for setting the filament voltage and the modulator bias. In addition to these coutrols, Radio Transmitters BC-610-D and BC-610-E have all of their fuses mounted on this panel. (See Jigs. I, 2 and it)

5. Over-All System Function

Radio Transmitter BC-1510-("') is equipped with a circuit consisting of a radio-frequency (r-f) section, a modulator section, and a high-voltage power supply. The r-f section consists of the oscillator, the doubler or buffer stage, the intermerli-

ate-amplifier stage, and power amplifier stage. From the power amplifier the signal is delivered to the antenna-tuning unit. As an alternative to the adjustable master oscillator, frequency control may he had by plugging a crystal into the jack on the tuning unit. The radio-frequency (r-f) section is equipped with a power supply which feeds voltage to the oscillator, doubler-buffer, and drivel' tubes. The modulator section consists of two audio power amplifier stages: the audio driver which operates ill a push-pull class A audio

I

power amplifier circuit, and the modulator which operates in a push-pull class R amplifier circuit. The modulator tubes are biased near cut-off. The modulator section has a power supply to feed the audio driver tubes. The high-voltage power supply section rectifies the direct current (d -c) power input, and conver-ts it to high-voltage d-c power to supply plate voltage to the modulator tubes and the r-f power amplifier tube. Figure 6 is a block diagram which shows the various stages of the transmitter.

6. Condensed Circuit Analysis

a: MASnJR OSCILLATOR OR CRYSTAL CONTItOL. Oscillator Tube J AN-6V6GT (V8) (VT-H.l7), (figs. 40, 41, 42, and 43) generates an alternating current at a radio frequency and holds this frequency constant. The radio frequency is determined by the circuit inductance and capacity which are manually controlled. If crystal control is used, the crystal will determine the frequency generated by the oscillator.

b. Cow 'l'RANSMISSION, In cow transmission, the operation of the telegraph key, which is connected in series with the cathode circuit of oscillator Tube ,JAN-6V6GT (V8) (VT-107-A), makes and breaks the generation of oscillation and provides the telegraph transmission. The doubler or buffer Tube JAN-6L6 (V9) (VT-115), is either tuned to the same frequency or to a multiple of the master-oscillator circuit ; thus it prevents the succeed-

, ing stages from affecting the oscillator. The r-f signal is fed from tube V9 to the intermediateamplifier Tubes J A N-80 7 (V10 and Vll) (V'I'- 100), which provide amplification. Tube.J AN:!50TH (V16) (VT-220) functions as a neutralized class C power amplifier since all tubes except the oscillator are bias beyond cut-off. With the key up, these tubes become inoperative. Finally

..

1

the r-f output is taken from the plate tank circuit, and fed to the antenna-tuning unit.

c. VOICE TRANSMISSION. In voice transmission, the modulator section is utilized. The audio-frequency (a-f) speech signal from Speech Amplifier BC-fi14-( ) enters the transmitter at socket PL5 on Radio Transmitters BC-010-A through -D (figs. 40, 41, and 42), or at socket S05 on Radio 'l'ransmitter BC-610-E (fig. 43), and is amplified in voltage in the coupling transformer. Audio drivel' tubes .TAN-2A3 (V1 and V2) (VT-95) operate as push-pull class A audio power amplifiers. From these tubes the signal is delivered to moduJatOI' 'rubes .TAN-100TH (V3 and V4) (VT-218), which provide further amplification. The resultant a-f signal is fed in series into the high-voltage plate power supply of Tube JAN-250TH (V16) (VT-220) thus modulating the r-f output. The presence of the a-f signal in the plate circuit of power-amplifier (p-a) tube V16 causes a proportional fluctuation in the plate voltage of this tube and varies the output of the radio transmitter correspondingly. In this manner, the r-f carrier is amplitude-modulated. The modulated signal is fed from coupling transformer L5 to the antenna-tuning unit. For detailed functioning of circuits, see 'I'M 11-280 and TM 11-281.

SECTION II DIFFERENCES BETWEEN MODELS

7. General

It is advisable for all servicing personnel to become thoroughly familiar with the differences between the various models. For a detailed description of the stage circuits, see section VIII. Parts and part numbers on the schematic diagrams differ, and in some cases the electrical values of the parts vary. For this information consult the four over-all schematic diagrams (figs. 42, 4:3, 44, and 45) and the various stage diagrams with their individual parts lists. The following tables show

the external and operating differences between models. In the first column Radio 'I'ransnritters BC-610-A through -D (figs. 42, 43, and 44) are considered as a group, with the differences which exist within this group being indicated. In the second column, Radio Transmitter RC-610-E (fig. 45) is treated as an individual set.

16. Tests of Resistance of Power Supplies

a. GENERAL. Troubles within the equipment can be detected often by testing the resistance of the power supplies at the power input and output terminals before applying power to the equipment, thereby preventing damage to the power supplies.

(1) Perform the following tests with a-c power off, tubes removed except where indicated otherwise, and all plugs disconnected. Before beginning these tests make a careful inspection of the wiring on the lower and upper control panels to make certain that there are no short circuits or open circuits, since the results of the tests outlined below give no indication of defects within wiring circuits.

(2) If the measurements in the following tests indicate a defective component circuit, test each component part in the circuit with ohmmeter for possible grounds, leakage, and short circuits or open circuits. Make the necessary repairs and replacment of defective parts.

(3) The values contained in these tests are approximate. Any test value indicated which is not within tolerance should be investigated.

b. TESTS FOR RADIO 'l'RANSMI'l"l'ERS BC-610-A 'l'H!WUGH BC-()l()-C_ (1) High-voltage pourer supply. Before performing these tests remove connections from terminal strip 'rS3 on high-voltage power side, taking precaution to prevent wires from touching one another.

(a) Input r-esistance. Adjust ohmmeter to rauge which permits the lowest resistance scale measurement. Place ohmmeter test leads between wires 1 and 3 of terminal strip 'L'S3. Reading on ohmmeter will indicate:

Normal--· 1 ohm ± 10 percent. Defective - zero or infinite.

Adjust ohmmeter to range which permits the lowest resistance measurement.

Place ohmmeter test leads between wires 4 and 7 of terminal strip TS3.

Reading on ohmmeter will indicate:

Normal-ll ohms ± 10 percent . Defective - zero or infinite.

(b) Output resistance. Adjust ohmmeter to permit a resistance measurement within 0- to 100,OOO-ohm scale. Place ohmmeter test leads be-

...

It

tween wires 8 and 9 of terminal str-ip TS3. Reading on ohmmeter will indicate:

N ormal- 75,0()() ohms ± 10 percent. Defective - zero 01' infinite.

18. Tests of Continuity for Cables and Terminal Strips

a. Defects in Radio Transmitter BC-610-(*) can be detected by performing resistance tests of continnity through cables and terminals in accordance with the procedure outlined below in table IV.

b. Perform tests on ohmmeter range that permits a reading close to the center of scale. If the readings obtained do not agree with those specified in table IV, within plus or minus 10 percent, the circuit is defective. If an infinite reading is obtained in a test for which zero is specified in table IV, there is an open circuit in the

circuit nuder test. Cheek the circuit for poorly soldered or broken connections, burned-out fuses, poor contacts between plug and sockets, loose connection at terminal strips. Also, by these tests shoi-t circuits and defective parts may be located. Make the necessary repairs and replacements.

c. Perform these tests with a-c power off, tubes removed, except where indicated otherwise, and all plugs connected in their proper sockets. On Radio 'I'ransmi tters : BC-6I0-A through BCmO-D the reference numbers for plugs. are .P'Ll..L through PL4.1; the reference numbers for sockets are I'Ll through PL6. The reference num-

(3) Coil units. Select a coil unit of the desired frequency range (table V or VI, depending on the model of the transmitter under test). Lift open the left-hand door in the cover of the transmitter and insert coil unit. (See fig. 7 or 8.)

(4) Capacitor CA -423. Insert this capacitor if operation in the 2.0- to 2.5-mc. frequency range is desired. Close the left-hand door firmly to insure operation of the interlock switches. (See fig. 7 or 8).

(5) Other plug-in parts. Make certain that other plug-in parts, such as fuses, plugs, pilot lamps, and the 600-watt heater element, fit firmly into their sockets.

b. CONNECTION OF POWER UNIT. Select a power source which can supply 5 kilowatts at 115 volts (117 volts for Radio Transmitter BC-610-E) 50-

673392'---46--3

or 60-cycle, single-phase, alternating current. Connect the power source to the transmitter, using Cord CD-763 01; equivalent. When using Power Unit PE-95-( ), see TM 11-904, for details of operation.

c. DUMMY ANTENNA. A dummy antenna consisting of a 164-ohm, 400-watt noninductive resistor (this value of resistance and wattage can' be obtained using a series-parallel arrangement of ohmite resistors in series with a 50-mmf variable, air capacitor, 7,500 to 10,000 d-e volts [working) must be connected between the antenna post and the chassis of the antenna tuning unit. Connect the capacitor end of the series circuit to the antenna post, and the resistor end to the chassis.

d. PRECAUTIONS BEFORE OPE'RATION. Before attempting to operate Radio Transmitter BC-610- (*) always observe the following precautions:

(1) Read carefully paragraphs 19 and 20 of this section in order to become thoroughly familiar with this material.

(2) Never throw the GW-PHO)[E switch when the plate power is on.

(3) If Radio Receivers BC-312-( ) and BC- 342-( ) are used, check their operation and condition as outlined in instruction book TM 11- 850.

CAUTION: Radio Transmitter BC-610-(*) is equipped with extremely high voltages which are dangerous to life if contacted. The protective electrical interlock switches should not be relied upon. If the contact points of relay RY 1 stick, high voltages are still present in the transmitter after the interlock switches are operated. For this reason, be sure that the back cover and cover doors are closed before applying plate power. A red bull's-eye pilot lamp, labeled PLATE POWER, on the front panel of the transmitter indicates when the high-voltage supply is turned on. However, since this lamp may burn out, do not rely upon it to show that no high voltage is present. When the transmitter is in operation, extremely high r-f voltages are present around the antenna-tuning unit. Beware of r-f burns. Make certain that the voltage is off before changing parts and making repairs.

20. Opera,ing Test

(See table VII, for correct operating values.)

a. PRELIMINARY AD.TUSTMENTS FOlt C-W TRANSMISSION. Always adjust the transmitter for c-w operation first, This is done as follows:

(1) See that the PLATE POWER switch of

29

the transmitter is at OFF, and left there, if Radio Receiver BC-3I2-( ) and BC-342-( ) are used, otherwise automatic disabling of the receivers is not possible. Use this switch only in an emergency or during servicing of the transmitter.

(2) .Make cer-tain. that the transmitter eontrol switch on Speech Amplifier BC-614-( ) is at TRANS-OPF; For Raclio Transmitter BC- 610-E this switch isloeated on .Iunction Box .TB-70-A.

(3) Set:'FILA:NrE,X1' POWER switch of the transmitter at ON. The green pilot lamp and the plate tuning dial should now light up, and the }l";IL.VOL1'AGE meter should register.

(4) . Adjust the FILAyrENT VOLTAGE control on the transmitter panel until the FIL. VOLTAGE meter indicates 5 to 5.3 volts.

CAUTION: To prevent damage to the tube filaments, always allow a filament warm-up period of at least :W seconds before applying plate power. Reread safety precaution (par. 19 d (1)) before proceeding Iurther.

(5) Set the BAND SWITCII on the front panel of the transmitter so that its position number corresponds with the channel number where the tuning unit was placed.

(6) Set COUPLING control of Antenna Tuning Unit BC-729-(*) to the extreme left to decrease coupling to a minimum (Radio Transmitters BC-610-A through BC-610- D) . Radio Transmitter BC-610-E is equipped with Antenna Tuning Unit BC-939-A.

(7) Set 'the CWPRONE switch of the transmitter at GW.

b. l'RELIl\IINARY CHECKS. (1) Overheating of parts. Check the transmitter for smoke and odor of burned parts.

Note. !{cccntly molsturcproofcd and fungiproofed equipment snav g-ive off a small amount of smoking which is usual.

(a) T'ubes. Arter the transmitter has been operatingfor 5 minutes, remove all voltages. Immediately after removing plate voltage look for reddened 'plates within the envelopes of the large rectifier type tubes, as an indication of exceeding the normal plate dissipation. Feel the grid, plate, and filament terminals of the tubes for excessive heat due to contact resistance between the tube pin and socket connection.

CAUTION: Do not handle tubes that require heavy filament current or dangerously high plate voltage while the transmitter is in operation. Make the above cheeks after all voltages have been removed.

30

(b) Resistors. 'Watch for overheated or smoking resistors. Feel the tension of the ferrule dips. Insufficient tension of ferrule dips may cause poor electrical connection.

(0) Capacitore. Feel terminals and bodies of the capacitors for excessive heat.

(d) Transformers. Cheek transformers for signs of overheating.

(2) Noises. Listen for noises which indicate arcing.

(3) Filament. Voltage control. If the FILAlVII~Nrl' VOLTAGE control on the transmitter cannot be adjusted for a reading of 5.0 to 5.g volts on FIL. VOLTAGE meter, or if the meter shows no indication, make the following cheeks:

(a) PU8es. Make certain that all fuses are tight in their sockets and in operating condition.

(b) Source of pouter, 3Iake certain that the coni and plug to the source of power are not defective. For detailed repair data on the internal power supplies see sections VI and VIII.

(0) Filament. Poioer switch. Check this switch to determine whether or not it is operating properly.

(d) Vottaqe-requlater tubes. Make certain that tubes V13, V14, and V15 are firmly inserted in their sockets. The tube plates will show color when operating properly.

CAUTION: Touch only insulated parts. Use insulated probe to find loose joints and disconnected wires. Keep one hand behind the body when making these checks.

(4) If the above checks indicate that the transmltter is operating satisfactorily, proceed to make the subsequent tuning adjustments. If the operation of the transmitter fails during the tuning adjustments for c-w and voice transmission, see paragraph 22, and section VTTT, for detailed repair data.

c. lVIAS1'ER-OSCILLA'l'OR (YLO.) COXTROL FOR HADIO TRAXSl\IIT'l'ERS BC-610-A THROrGH BC-GI0- D.I Proceed as follows:

(1) Set M.O.-XTAL Switch of the tuning unit at lVI.O.

(2) Set the EXCITER PLATE POWER switch on the transmitter panel at ON. When operating Radio Transmitter BC-610-D, also throw the transmitter control switch of Speech Amplifier BC-614-( ) to TRANS. ON.

CAUTION :'l'he. door over the tuning units in the cover of the. transmitter should be open at this time to keep the high voltage from reaching the final :iIl1plifit~l'.

(;). From here OIl, tune tlie transmitter by following the steps as outlined in d (il) through (27) above.

Note: Remember that at frequencies from 2, to 4 me. the crystal frequency is the sallie as tile transmitter output f'requency, and that the circuit controlled by the DOUE. knob OIl the tuning unit then operates as a buffer stage. From 4 to 12 me this stage acts as a doubler; hence the crystal frequency is one-half the output frequency. Thus, a crystal whose frequency is 2,200 kc may be used with Tuning Unit Tt.:-47 to produce the same frequency in the transmitter output; or it may be used with Tuning unit 'l'C-GO to operate the transmitter on 4,400 kc, 'Vhen operating n.t frequencies from 12 to 1.8 me, the doubler stage quadruples the crystal frequency, and thus a crvsta.l of 4,0{}0 kc will produce a transmitter output frequency of 16,000 kc (IG mc ) ,

When operating with Speech Amplifier BC-614-D, also make sure that the HEMO'l'E 'l'ELgl'IIONE-NORlfAL switch is at :\"OHMAL for the following operations. When operating Radio Transmitter BC- 610-E make sure that the transmitter control switch of Junction Box ,JB-70-A is at 'l'RAXS. O}<'F, the REMOTE CONTROL EE-8 switch is at NORMAL, and C.W. SIDI~TONg switch is at OF}<'.

(1) Set the }10nULA'1'0H BIAS control on

34

the front panel of the transmitter to the extreme left. This setting increases the bias so that the MOD. PLATE meter will not indicate until further adjustments are made.

(2) Set the CW-PHONE switch on the ti-ansmittel' panel at PHONE.

CAUTION: Never throw this switch while the final amplifier is turned on.

(B) Press the press-to-talk switch button on Microphone T-50-( ).

Note: This puts the transmitter carrier on the air.

The P. A. PLATE meter should now read approximately 230 rna, which is the normal plate current for voice operation.

(4) Release the press-to-talk switch on the microphone.

CAUTION: Nevel' exceed a value of 260 ma as indicated by the P. A. l'LA'l'E meter during voice operation. If the transmitter has been adjusted for a plate current of 290 rna on continuous wave, the plate current will drop to 250 rna when switched to voice operation since the GW-PHONE switch automatically reduces the final amplifier plate voltage. If the P. A. PLATE meter reads more than 2(lO ma, adjust the COUPLING control on the antenna tuning unit until the propel' plate current is obtained,

(;» Hold the microphone in the left hand,

press the press-to-talk switch, and with the right hand adjust the MODULATOR BTAS control on the front panel of the transmitter until the MOD. PLATI~ meter indicates 40 rna, Release the pressto- talk switch.

(8) To turn off the transmitter completely, set the FILA"lIEX'l' POWER switch to OFF.

h. CHAXGIXG THE 'I'YP~; OF TRANS:\IISSION. After the transmitter has been tuned for voice operation as outlined, it can be switched to c-w operation without further tuning adjustments by setting the OW-PHONE switch at CW and the transmitter control .switch on Speech Amplifier BC-614-( ) at 'I'HANS. ON. (For Radio Transmittel' BC-610-E this switch is on .Iunction Box ,JB-70~A).

CAUTION: Never throw the CW-l'IIONE switch while the final amplifier plate power is on. The transmitter may be returned to voice operation again by setting the transmitter control switch at TRANS. OFF and switching the CVVPHONE switch to PHONE.

i. OrrAXGIKG FrmQlTElS'cy.

(1) Ohangingfi'reqllcncy, Case 1. The transmitter will accommodate three tuning units, each of which may be instantly selected by the BAND SvVITCIl. Each tuning unit may be tuned to a separate frequency, ready for use when needed. Since there are three complete sets of tuning units available, it is possible to install three tuning units of the same range, which can he covered by one coil unit. With each tuning unit pretuned to a different frequency within the range of the coil unit, change of the transmitting frequency would then be accomplished as follows:

(a) Set the transmitter control switch at TRANS. OFF, for c-w operation ; or release the press-to-talk switch f'or voice operation.

(IJ) Reset the BAKD SWITCH to the desired frequency.

(c) Tln'ow the HIGH VOLTAGE PROTECT switch up.

(d) Set the transmitter control switch to TRANS. ON, and dose the key for cow, or press the press-to- talk switch for voice.

(e) Slightly retune the PLATE TUNING wheel for a minimum current reading on the P. A. PLATE METER.

tt) Adjust the antenna tuning unit inductor crank for a maximum current reading of the P. A. PLATE }lETlm.

(g) Throw HIGH VOLTAGE PROTECT switch to NORMAL.

(h) Adjust the COUPLING control on the antenna tuning unit for a P. A. PLATE meter reading of 290 ma for COw, or 250 ma for voice. (i) Reset the inductor crank f01' a maximum reading on the ANTENNA ClJRREX'l' meter.

Note: "When the change in f'requcncv is small, only steps specified in (a), (b), and (d) above, may be necessary, but do not disregard the remaining steps.

(2) Changing F'reqllcr(cy,Cas('2. When the three tuning units plugged into the" transmitter covel' two or more frequency ranges, "it ~s riecessary when switching from one frequency to another to observe these precautions:

(a) Before changing the BAND SWITCH setting to another channel, open the covel' door over the coil unit compartment and determine whether or not the frequency r-ange of the coil unit is correct. If not, remove it.

(b ) Install the proper coil unit for the trequency selected.

(c) Close the cover door over the coil unit compartment.

(d) Set the BAND S'YITCII to the desired ehannel.

(c) Assuming that the tuning unit has a lrea dy been tuned up, and that the covel' door over this compartment is closed, with key pressed tune the final amplifier and antenna circuits in the step by step procedure for c-w operation outlined above a(()) and a(7), c(ll) through c(25), and d(l1) through d(26) ; 01' throw the CW-PHONE switch to PHONE at the completion of retuning if voice operation is required.

(3) Overload Reset Switch. If the high voltage circuits are overloaded by excessive plate current plus heavy modulation, the overload relay will trip and shut off the plate power. 'When this occurs press the OVERLOAD RESET switch and continue with the transmission. If the overload persists, check the tuning adjustments and meter readings. For data on meter readings, see section VI.

(4) Final Testing. If the operation of the transmitter has been satisfactory, proceed to final testing. (See sec. VII.)

SECTION V ALIGNMENT PROCEDURE

21. Neutralization.

If neutralizing capacitor C18 of Radio 'I'ransmittel' BC-610-(*) has been tampered with, the unit will require readjustment. Proceed as follows:

a. Install Tuning Unit TU-52 and associated coil unit.

b. Disconnect from transmitter output terminals the two leads to the antenna tuning unit.

c. Set FILAMENT POWER switch at ON.

Note: In this operation high voltage plate power is not applied, so the transmitter control switch on the Speech Amplifier DC-614-( ) must be left at THANS. OFF; the l'LA'l'E POWEH switch on the transmitter is set at OFF'. On Radio 'I'ransmltt.er BC-610-E the transmitter control switch is on Junction Box JB-70-A.

d. Set I'. A. GRID-IX'l'. AMP. GRID switch to P. A. GRID. (On Radio Transmitter BC-

36

610-E set the EXCI'l'ATION METER SWl'l'CH at P. A. GRID.)

c. Set EXCITER PLA'l'E POWER switch to ON.

f. Adjust controls of the tuning unit to resonance at some frequency near the high-frequency end of the range.

g. Adjust PI~ATE TFNINC} wheel slowly through resonance. If neutralization is faulty, resonance will be indicated by a sharp dip in the reading of the GInD CURRE1\'l' meter.

h. Adjust neutralizing capacitor C18 little by little, ehecking after each adjustment, until rotating the PLATE 'l'T]NING wheel through resonance causes only a slight dip in the reading of the GRID CURRENT meter. When the neutralizing capacitor is properly adjusted this dip will not exceed 3 mao

DETAILED TROUBLE-SHOOTING PROCEDURES

22. Tests for Defective Stage.

If Radio Transmitter BC-610- (*) fails to operate correctly, follow the pr-ocedure outlined below for detailed trouble shooting. In any analysis of failure a step by step procedure is necessary, starting first with the source of energizing power, and then testing stage by stage through the r-f section, and then the modulator stages. In actual operation strict adherence to the values specified in the respective table is necessary for satisfactory results.

a, POWER SUPPLY. In trouble shooting, first check the power supply to determine whether or not the correct voltages are available. Verify propel' connection between transmitter socket

S06 and the external alternating-eurrent (a-c) source, checking the socket, and power cable and plug. If necessary, check the internal power supplies in accordance with the special repair data given in d(l), (a), c(G), f(3) and g below and in paragraphs 29, 32, and 33.

b. METER READINGS. A cheek of the meter readings aids in recognizing faulty operation of the transmitter, and a logical interpretation of the meter indications, combined with a circuit analysis, will aid in localizing the source of failure.

(1) Compare the meter current readings with those indicated in table VII, or table VIII, depending on the model of the transmitter under test.

d, VOLTAGE AND RESISTAXCE Tp;sTS. Voltage and resistance tests aid in disclosing defects in the cireuit. Perform the tests as follows:

(1) Voltage tests. (o.) Voltage tests from the power supplies. Test the voltage from the power supply at each section to determine whether or not the action is reeeiving the required voltage. 'I'his should include a check of plate voltage, shield grid voltage, bias voltage, and filament

voltage taken directly at the terminal strip for each section. See figures 34, 35, 36 and 37 depending on the model of the transmitter under test. Use Analyzer BC-1.o52-E (or equivalent) for these tests. If these tests indicate normal values, proceed to make voltage tests at the socket tel" minals of the stage under question.

(IJ) 17 oltaqe tests at the socket terminals. Test voltages at the socket terminals il{ an effort to ascertain the defective part within the stage. 'l'hese voltage values should be as ~peCifiedon the chassis layout diagrams. ~See flgs, 17 through 25.) The voltage measurements shown on the chassis lay-out diagrams are made between -the pin connections to the tube and chassis ground. These values are approximate and will vary slightly with different transmitters and with measuring equipment of different meter sensitivity. Adhere to these values within a tolerance of plus or minus 1.0 percent. The voltage measurements presented are those of normal operation.

WARNING: Do not change fuses or make repairs with the high voltages on, because under this condrtion a potential of 2,.0.0.0 to 2,5.0.0 volts direct current is present on all three decks of the transmitter. Exercise all reasonable precaution when making d-e voltage teste.

( e) General instructions for the 'Use of A,1Wlyzer BC-1052-E (or equivalent) for voltage measuremcn. ts,

1. Connect the transmitter for c-w operation.

2. To prevent damaging the instrument by an overload, begin measurements with the highest range whenever approximate voltage, current, or db level is not known.

3. See voltmeter chart (accompanying the voltmeter) for the correct settings of eontrols, switches, jacks, and test prods before making any measurements.

4. The DECIBEL calibration is for use across G.o.o-ohm lines and loads. The scale is read directly in db.

n, The OU'l'PU'l' jacks are for measuring the voltage or db level of any a-c or audio voltage. Internal circuits are made through a .0.1- microfarad (mf) isolating capacitor inside the instrument so that alternating current or audio superimposed on a d-e voltage may be read without harm to the analyzer.

WARNING: It is EX'l'RKVIELY DANGEROUS to make this measurement. The high voltage in Radio Transmitter B(>610- (*) is deadly. When making this test, always arrange to have someone else present.

'I'he recommended procedure for measuring the high voltage is as follows:

1. Insulate the voltmeter well above ground by placing it on dry boards or other insulating material at least 1 inch thick.

2. Set the voltmeter controls to the proper positions for measuring 8,000 volts direct current as indicated on the voltmeter char-t.

S. Remove coil unit L7.

1· Place red (positive) test lead prod into center jack of jack bar of the coil unit.

,). Connect black (negative) test lead to any conven ient ground on the transmitter frame.

G. Open right-hand cover door (over tuning boxes or units) to open its interlock switch. (This switch will be used to close the circuit in step 13 below.)

7. Fasten down the interlock switch at the left-hand cover door so its circuit is closed.

8. See that back screen is in place so that its interlock switch is dosed.

9. Arrange the red (positive) test prod with cord so that it is extremely well insulated. It should be carefully supported, free and clear from the door and frame of the transmittei- and any components.

10. STAND CLEAR OF '!'HE RI<JD (POSITIVf1n '1' E S'!' LEAD, AND SEI<J THAT N"'~ITIIER YOlT "NOR OTHER PERSONNEL COMB IN COX'!'ACT WI'l'H IT WHEN VOLTAGE ]S ON.

Set PLATE rOWER switch of transmitter at ON.

PlJ'!' YOUR LID"'-'T HAND IN YOUR POCKE'r.

With your right hand, turn on the high voltage by pressing the interlock switch at the right-hand cover door.

Read the voltage indication on the voltmeter and release the interlock switch. Set PLATE PO'YER switch to OFF and remove fastening from left-hand cover interlock when finished.

(2) llcsistance tests. If the voltage values are not as specified in figures 17 through 25, use an ohmmeter to perform the following resistance

11.
12.
13.
11,.
15.
_f' tests using Analyzer BC-1052-E (or equivalent). Make these tests with voltages removed.

(a) Make d-e resistance tests between each terminal of the socket and chassis ground to ascertain any change in the electrical characteristics of the component parts within the stage. Check these resistance readings with the values specified on the chassis lay-out drawings. (See figs. 17 though 25.)

(b ) If the resistance values are normal, make the circuit continuity tests between the cables and terminal strips in accordance with table IV in order to discover possible broken leads and poorly soldered joints. Dress and resolder leads if necessary. See the practical wiring diagram for the particular section in question. (See figs. 47, 48, 4!J, 50, and 51.)

( c) If the resistance values between chassis ground and socket terminal within the stage are not as required, make d-e resistance tests of the component parts within the defective stage, (e, [, and g below and sec. VIII), to locate the defective part. If the value for any part is not as required, replace the defective part.

(d) Use of A~nalyzer BC-l0/j'2~1iJ (or equicalent) for resistance measurement»,

1. Remove all tubes

2. Remove a-c power plug from transmi tteisocket PL6 (S06 on Radio 'I'ransmittsr BC-610-E) .

3. Remove Speech Amplifier BC-614-( ) plug from socket PL5 (SO;) on Radio Transmitter BC-610-E).

4· Leave all other plugs in place.

6. With any tuning unit in place, set the BAND S'VITCII at the correct conesponding position.

6. Turn MODULA'!'OR BIAS control fully clockwise.

7. Set CW-PHO~E SWITCH at PHONE.

8. Set the analyzer switches and make test prod connections as indicated in the chad for the range into which the resistor falls.

9. Short the test prods and adjust the meter for full scale deflection (zero ohm) by use of OIINIS AnnIS'!' knob.

10. Touch the test prods to the ends of the resistor, at least one end of which should be disconnected from the circuit.

11. Read the ohms on the OHMS scale, and multiply that reading by the value indicated on the ohms range on the rotary selector switch.

Note: The OHMS adjustment must be made every time the range switch is changed from one range to another.

e. SPECIAL TESTS AND REPAIRS ~'OR R'F STAGES. (1) R-f Oscillator stage. If the r-f oscillator (master-oscillator control or crystal control) does not develop sufficient oscillation to excite the r-f buffer-doubler stage, make the following tests. For other repair features see paragraph 25, arid figure 28.

(a) Correct frequency of crystal. Make certain that the frequency value of the crystal is correct for the operating frequency for the tuning unit

involved. (See par. 40 b(4).) Check the tuning unit. If it is defective, replace it.

(b) Pr01Jer' function oferystal. 1. Fractured crystal. Make an operational check to determine that the crystal is not fractured, and is in good operating condition. Do this by substituting a known good crystal unit for the one in the tuning unit and cnmparing-the performance of the transmitter.

2 .• Jack condition. Inspect the jack to determine the presence of surface to surface contact.

23. Refinishing, Moistureproofing, and Fungiproofing

a. REFINISHING. After the transmitter has been repaired and is operating correctly, remove any scarred or chipped spots with # 0000 sandpaper and apply paint to the spots with a small brush. If the case is sufficiently scarred and chipped to warrant complete refinishing, remove the transmitter chassis hom the case. Make certain that the case is fvee from dirt and rust. Spray the entire case with the propel' paint authorized by existing regulations.

b. J\IOISTUR~JPIWOFIXG A:\"D FUXGIl'IWOFIXG. This treatment provides a degree of protection agaiuet moisture, salt spray, corrosion, fungus growth, and insects. The treatment is applied in the following manner:

(1) Masking. Clean ti-ansmit.ter thoroughly, remove shielding of components, and partially disassemble. Covel' certain points such as open switches, relays, variable capacitors, sockets, and bearings with masking tape.

(2) Spraying. Dry all pads of the equipment thoroughly and spray with three coats of moistureprootlng and fungiproofing varnish. Spray all surfaces supporting circuit elements, all eiI'cuit elements, and interconnecting wiring and soldered terminals. Use a brush to apply the varnish to all parts which cannot be reached by the spray.

CAUTION: Make certain that a complete job of masking has been done on the parts listed above. If the varnish gets on any of these parts the equipment will not operate sn tisfactm-ily.

(:n Generalimstruction«. For general instructions in the spray method of moistm'eproofing and fungiproofing see TB STG 18.

SECTION VII FINAL TESTING

24. Power Output and Modulation Tests

0,. ChlNERAL. After the repairs in the trans-

mitter have been completed and the unit has been moistureproofed and fungiproofed, make a final test to ascertain that the unit is in proper condition for tactical use. Although the transmitter was correctly adjusted during the repair procedure (sec. V), make a recheck of the neutralization, then proceed to final testing of the power output and modulation.

b. PREPARATION FOR TESTING. 1'0 measure the power output and modulation capabilities of the transmitter, connect the test circuits as shown in figure 47. Proceed as follows:

(1) Disconnect the coaxial cable which is between the transmitter and the Antenna Tuning Unit BC-729-(*) or BC-989-A, depending on the transmitter under test.

(.2) Connect the dummy antenna to the transmitter r-f output terminals with the r-f test ammeter in series with one lead.

(3) Couple the transmitter output to the vertical deflection plates of the oseilloscope by means of a pick-up coil. This is done by winding 2 to 4 turns of insulated wire (# 14 gauge, soft-drawn copper) over a winding space of 3 inches around one of the r-f leads which connects the dummy antenna to the transmitter output post. Connect the ends of the coil to the oscilloscope by means of a twisted-pair line.

(4) Connect the transmitter to an a -c power source of 5 kilowatts of single-phase, 60-cycle current at 115 volts.

(5) Connect a Speech Amplifier BC-614-( ), one which is known to be in good operating condition, to the transmitter.

c. POW~JR OUTPr'!' TEST AT Cow TRAXS:IIISSIOX. (1) With the transmitter Key ,J-B7 plugged into ,Jack .rrot on Speech Amplifier BC-fiH-( ), adjust the transmitter for maxiurn c-w power output (key down) (tables VII and VIII) ; test at the middle of the 2.0 to 2.5 me frequency band in accordance with table X below.

(2) Maximum ('-w power output for the frequency under test is obtained when a maximum reading is indicated on the external r-f ammeter. When a ] 4fi-ohm dummy antenna is used, the required power outputs are obtained when the r-f output currents are as specified in table X.

(8) The r-f ammeter reading should at least equal the r-f output current specified in table X, for c-w output.

(4) If the c-w r-f current output is as specified in table X, make power output test for unmodulated phone transmission as outlined below. (See (1) through (6) below.)

(;) If the cow r-f current output reading is not as specified in table X, the performance of the transmitter is uneatisfactory. Proceed as follows:

(a) Perform tests to localize the defect to the particular stage, and test further to determine the defective part (See par. 22.)

(b) Make necessary repairs and replacements, and repeat cow power output test as outlined above. (See (1) through (3).)

(c) Repeat the test for cow power output in this manner until the performance of the transmitter is satisfactory.

d. POWER OUTPUT 'rEST E'OR UNMODULA'fED PHONE TRANSMISSION. (1) Remove transmitter Key J-37 from jack ,nOl on Speech Amplifier BC-614-( ).

(2) Change the transmitter from cow to phone

tr-ansmission. (See par. IBn and tables VII and VIII. )

(3) Adjust the transmitter tor maximum unmodulated phone power output at the same frequency that was used in the cow power output test.

(4) The maximum reading on the external r-f ammeter will indicate the maximum nnmodulated phone power output current for the frequency under test.

(5) The r-f ammeter reading should at least equal the r-f output current specified in table X for unmodulated phone power output.

(6) If the unmodulated phone power output meter reading is as specified in table X, make the

53

test for modulation capability as outlined in (1) through (19) below.

(7) If the nnmodulated phone power output meter reading is not as specified in table X, the performance of the transmitter is unsatisfactory. Proceed as follows:

(a) Perfor-m tests to localize the defect to the particular stage, and test further to determine the defective part. (See par. 22.)

(b) Make necessary repairs and replacements, and repeat the unmodulated phone power output test as outlined in (1) through (6) above.

C. MODULATION CAPABILITY. (1) Keep the transmitter adjusted for maximum unmodulated phone power output at the same frequency that was used in the previous tests.

(2) Insert the audio signal generator plug into .Iack .Jl02 on Speech Amplifier BC-614-( ).

(:3) Turn on the oscilloscope.

(4) Adjust the sweep voltage on the oscilloscope to make the width of the pattern slightly more than half the diameter of the screen.

(5) The un modulated r-f carrier wave will be .seen on the oscilloscope.

(6) The height of the carrier pattern should be approximately one third of the height of the screen.

(7) Since the height of the carrier pattern depends upon the number of turns in the pick-up coil, it may be increased by increasing the number of turns and decreased by decreasing the number of turns of the coil.

(8) Measure the height of the unmodulatec1 r-f wave (fig. 27, H2) above the reference axis.

(9) Adjust the audio signal generator for a frequency of 400 cycles, and turn it 011.

REFERENCE AXIS

MODULATED CARRIER

(10) Measure the audio input voltage from the audio signal generator to Speech Amplifier BC- 614-( ), using a high resistance a-c voltmeter or an a-c vacuum-tube voltmeter (VTVM).

(11) Adjust the audio signal generator for an initial output of 0.15 volt.

(12) The transmi ttei- output will now be modulated at 400 cycles.

(1:3) 90 percent modulation is required for satisfactory operation of the transmitter.

(14) At 90 percent modulation, the r-f current in the external test ammeter will increase approximately 18 percent above the unmodulated value which was obtained in the proceeding test; it should at least equal the r-f output cui-rent specified in table X for modulated phone power output.

(15) If the value specified in table X is not obtained with 0.15-volt output from the audio signal generator, increase the output of the audio signal generator up to 0.:30 volt, and set the speech amplifier control near maximum in order to obtain the specified value.

(16) Observe the modulated wave on the oscilloscope screen to make certain that the sine wave pattern remains undistorted.

(17) The maximum height of the modulated wave (fig. 27, H1) as seen on the oscilloscope should be 1.9 times as great as the height of the unmodulated wave. (See fig. 27, H2.) This indicates a modulation of 90 percent.

(18) If the modulated phone power output reading equals that specified in table X, and if, with an audio signal generator output of 0.:30 volt, the wave height Hl is 1.9 times as high as wave height H2 without distortion, then the performance of the transmitter is satisfactory.

(a) Perform tests to localize the defect to the particular stage, and test further to determine the defective part. (See par, 22_)

(b) Make the necessary repairs and replace-

ments, and repeat the test for modulation capability as outlined in e (1) through (16) above,

INDIVIDUAL STAGE AND CIRCUIT REPAIR DATA

25. R-F Oscillator Stage (fig. 28)

a. CIRCUIT REPAIR FEA'ITl!ES. The r-f oscillator stage consists of Tube .TAX-6V6GT (V8) (VT- 107 or VT-I07-A) operating in a Hartley oscillator circuit. Frequency is determined either by master-oscillator or crystal control in the grid circuit, depending on the setting of the 11. 0.XTAL switch, S"WI3. When switch SWI5 is set for master-oscillator control, the frequency can be varied over a range dependent on the particular tuning unit used. When switch S,VI5 is in position for crystal control, a fixed frequency is generated whose value depends on the particular crystal plugged into the jack provided for this purpose. Oscillations generated by the oscillator circuit are tapped from the plate of tube V8, and are fed to the grid circuit of buffer-doubler Tube

• JAN-6L6 (V9) (VT-1l5) through capacitor C13. The voltage is regulated by a system comprising Tubes ,TAN-3/VR-150 (VI3, V14, and V15) (VT] 3!)). Tube VIS maintains constant screen voltage. and tubes V14 and V15 maintain constant plate voltage on oscillator tube V8.

voltage is present for feeding back to the grid through blocking capacitor C29 and ueutralizing capacitor C18. Neutralizing capacitor CI8 cancels the effect of the grid-plate capacitance so that tube V16 will operate without spurious oscillations. The r-f output power is taken from the tank circuit hy a coupling coil which is wound around the outside of the output coil unit. When the associated radio receivers are used, the coupling coil is short-circuited by contacts on relay RY4, thereby eliminating absorption at the transmitter frequency. Output power is fed to Antenna Tuning Unit BC-729-(*) in Radio Transmitters BC-610-A through BC-610-Dand to BC~m9-A in BC-610-E.

a. CIRCFIT UEPAIl{ P~:ATUItFJS. Radio 'I'ransmittel' BC-610~E il" equipped with Antenna Tuning Unit BC-939-A which couples the output of the transmitter to the antenna. The r-f energy is delivered to the primary of adjustable coupling transformer IJ5 through a concentric transmission line. This coupling which is controlled from the front panel, adjusts the amount of power taken from the transmitter and fed to the antenna circuit. In series with the coupling coil secondary are antenna current meter lVI4, capacitor C22 and C30 (which are selected by switch SW9), two variable inductors LG and L44, and the antenna proper. Inductor IA3 or L44 is an antenna loading coil which tunes the antenna to resonance, and the coupling transformer Hi is adjusted until nor-mal p-a plate current is obtained as indicated on the P. A. PLATE meter. When inductor LG or IA4 is adjusted so that it tunes the antenna circuit to resonance, the antenna circuit absorbs the greatest possible amount of energy from the transmitter. Inductor LG is used to tune to frequencies from 2 to 10 mc. Because of decreased antenna reactance, at frequencies between 6 and 10 me, capacitor C30 is introduced in series with

the antenna loading coil by means of switch SW9 so that adjustment of inductor IJ6 becomes less critical. At frequencies between 10 and 18mc, inductor IA4 and series capacitor C22 are switched into the series antenna circuit in place of inductor L6 by means of switch S'V9.

CAUTION: Because the antenna is short a high r-f voltage is built up in the antenna tuning unit during' operation. Guard against i-eceiving severe r-f burns.

Radio Transmitters BC-(jl0-E is equipped with eight tuning units and seven coil units each of which covers a specified band within the range of 2 to 18 me, For each frequency there is a particular combination of tuning box or tuning unit, tank coil or coil unit, and tuning control settings which is required for proper performance. These combinations are listed in the tuning charts (sec. IX, figs.

60 through fi5) for Radio Transmitter BC-610- A through BC-610-D and in tuning charts (sec. IX, figs. f)6 through 78) for Radio Transmitter BC-fJ10-E. Since there are three complete sets of tuning units available, it is possible to install

three tuning units of the same range which can be covered by one coil unit, or the tuning units may cover two or more frequency ranges. In selecting the tuning units for the desired range, consult tables V and VI.

a, ABsORPTIOX HRF;QU~];>CY ME'rFm. As the first step in checking the oscillator frequency, use first the absorption frequency meter to determine the fundamental frequency and the P]'()IWl' order of harmonic,

b. FRFlQUEXCY l\h]T~m SWI' SCR-211-(). '1'0 make a highly accm.ate determination of the operating fr-eqnancy and frequency stability, as well as to check the quality of the generated r-f signal use Fl'equeney lUeter Set SCR-211-( ), Proceed as follows:

( I) 'I'he oscilla t01' fn>(llWl1cy of the tr-ansmirtel' at any of the dial settings may be checked by usiug Frequency Meter Set SCR-21l- ( ). See 'rl\I11-:WO, f01' detailed instructions. Reca libra.te the instrument if neeessary before using it. In order that the frequency meter may pick up an adequate signal from the ti-ansmittet-, connect an antenna of Ii inches to 1 foot of #12 copper wir-e to the n-equency meter, Plug the telephone headset which is part of the Frequency Meter Set SCR-211-( ) into the phone jack, Turn on the frequency meter and allow it to heat fOI' 13 to 20 minutes so that its operat iou will be stable, Always adjust the CORIU~C'rOl{ control before taking readings.

(2) Operate Frequeucy l\Tetel' Set SCH-211- ( ) within the vieinity of the ti-a nsmittei-, Do not place it any closer to the transmitter than is necessary to secure an adequate signal in the headset. The amount of coupling between the frequency metei- and the transmitter may be changed hy varying the distance between the f'req uonr-y meter and the transmitter.

(3) Consult the tuning charts (XIV through XXV) of Radio Transmitter BC-610-(*) for the approximate oscillator frequency. Find the approximate dial setting for the approximate transmitter oscillator frequency in the calibration book of the frequency meter.

..

( 4) To measure the exact f'req uency of the transmitter adjust the main tuning dial of the frequency meter until the frequency of the beat note heard in the headset is reduced to zero cycles per second (zero beat) ; that is, until 110 signal is heard. In the calibration book find the setting of the frequency meter dial which corresponds with the zero signal heard in the headset. The frequency thus found is the eract oscillator f'reqneney of the transmitter.
