ALIGNMENT PROCEDURE
V ARNING
LE THAL HIGH VOLTAGE IS PRESENT
WITHIN THIS EQUIPMENT. BE CARE-
FUL WHEN INSTALLING THE UNIT,
WHEN MAKING BIAS ADJUSTMENT,
AND WHEN PERFORMING CHECKS
UNDER THE CHASSIS.
8-1. GENERAL.
The Model SR-500 Transceiver has been
accurately aligned and calibrated at the factory
and, with normal usage, will not require re-
alignment for extended periods of time. Service
or replacement of a major component or circuit
may require subsequent realignment, but under
no circumstances should realignment be attempted
unless the malfunction has been analyzed and
definitely traced to mis-alignment. Alignment
should only be performed by persons experienced
in this work, using the proper test equipment.
NOTE
Do not make any adjustments unless the
operation of this transceiver is fully
understood and adequate test equipment
is available. Refer to figure s 12 and 13,
the top and bottom views of the trans-
ceiver, for the locations of all
adjustments.
8-2. ECU I PMENT REQUIRED.
1. RF Signal Generator; Hewlett-Packard
Model 606A or an equivalent signal
generator having up to 1 volt output at
an impedance of 70 ohms or less.
Throughout the alignment procedure,
unless otherwise specified, the signal
generator output is unmodulated.
2. A Vacuum Tube Voltmeter (VTVM) ;
Hewlett-Packard Model 410 B, or equi-
valent VTVM having an RF probe good
to 30 MC.
3. A dummy Load; 50 ohms non-reactive,
rated at 300 to 500 watts. Bird Watt-
meter or equivalent . The load may be
made up of carbon resistors totaling
at least 300 watts dissipation.
4. .X DC Voltmeter having a 5 -volt or 10-
volt scale for final plate current
measurements when using the Model
PS- 500-AC Power Supply or a 0-500
hA DC milliammeter when using the
ñlodel PS- 500-DC Power Supply.
5. AF Signal Generator; Hewlett-Packard
Model 200 AB or equivalent.
6. Ballantine voltmeter or equiv alent, cap-
able of measuring 1 to 4 millivolt level.
7. A general-cGverage receiver covering
the frequency range from 3 MC to 30
ñ'IC with a 100-KC calibrator.
8-3. BI AS 4 DJ U fTy FNT.
The fi:ia1 amplifier bias, must be properly
set before an .’ ext*nsive checks are made on the

nne ct a DC voltmeter to the two
a cds on the power supply (see fig-
s 15), positive to red and negative
