(c) \Ath the ANODE CURRENT control set to 100m4 and the panel meter indicating zero, the external meter should read between 47,5 and 52.5. If this is not the case check the value of the meter shunt R9. Set NEG GRID VOLTS control to 40, (b) Connect a resistor of 860iu: + 5/2 between G and C sockets on the nine- way terminal board, (c) Set CIRCUIT SELECTOR to GAS and EIBCTRODE SBIBCTOR to At. Issue 1, 20 Feb 58 Page th,RESTRICTED ELECTRICAL AND MECHANICAL TELECOMMUNIGATIONS ENGINEERING REGULATIONS ¥ Oth, ke: Ths Pave 15, Issue 2 supersedes Pages 15 and 16, Issue 1, dotes 20 Pot 58. Para 7 has been amended, (a) Chock that the panel meter reading is between 59 and 92uA. (e) If the meter reading is not within tolerance, the NBG GRID VOLTS having deen set up as in para 41, check the values of R7 and RS. - Checking and adjustment of safety cut-out 4]. Before making any adjustments check that lamp ILP2 is operative (when the instrument is used solely on a IW a.c. supply, it is prefersble to replace ILP2 by a 100V, 15 pygmy lamp). Using insulated tools, adjust the two No & BA screws in the paxolin panel. One adjusts the gap setting ani the other the spring tension, the action of the two being complementary. Adjust the rely as followe:- (a) Check,with the instrument disconnected from the mains, that the gap between the contact screw and relay armature contact is approximately 1/8" when armature is pulled down to pole piece. Adjust contact screw to produce correct distance, then connect to the mains ani switch on. (b) Set up for U.52 or equivalent rectifier valve but strap diodes in parallel, ie 030808020 roller switch setting. With maximum current range selected on "Diode and Rectifier’, use an insulated screwdriver to tighten speing setting screw (ie decrease spring tension) until the relay vhatterss - (c) Increase tension (ie loosen off sorem) until chattering cesses. (a) Remove rectifier, set electrode selector to A and anode volts to 100. . With a lead, short C - Ay, Relay should break and will also buzz. In= crease anode volts to 200 and repeat short check. Relay should break without excessive arcing. (e) Set screen volts to 60, allow instrument to warm up and short C - 8. Relay should break with e click, Do not leave short on, as wien relay is g the primary current in the transformers is linitea by 15M lamp in series with windings. This means that the heaters on the two dicde valves in the instrument are almost extinguished. The diode in serics ~ with the sereon volte supply will become soverely damaged if a short cir- cuit exists whilst the heaters are at a lox temperature, and will damage the cathode coating. (£) If the relay operates successfully except for check (e) a replacement CV110 should be fitted. Checking the SEP ~ ation - 48. The above check may only be carried out in base workshops and the methed is aa follows:~ . (a) Standardize the valve voltmeter at 47 volts d.c. (>) With LK3 closed, set the tester controls as follows:~ (4) CIRCUIT SELECTOR to SET ~ (44) ELECTRODE SELECTOR to Ay (c) With the valve voltmeter connected across RV3 a reading of \7V shou7d b= obtained and the panel meter needle should lie within the ~/ zone. 7 voltage reading is correct but the panel ueter needle lies outside the gone, check resistors R3 and Ry. 57/Maint/5924 (RAD) =D _ — Tssue 2, 12 Jan 67 Distribution ~ Clase 357.
