INTRODUCTION.
5-2.
This section provides general maintenance information, electrical adjustment procedures,
and troubleshooting information for the FM-5T/FM-5TS transmitters.
5-3.
SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS.
WARNING
WARNING
NEVER OPEN THE EQUIPMENT UNLESS ALL TRANS
MITTER PRIMARY POWER IS DISCONNECTED. USE
THE GROUNDING STICK PROVIDED TO ENSURE ALL
COMPONENTS AND ALL SURROUNDING COMPO
NENTS ARE DISCHARGED BEFORE ATTEMPTING
MAINTENANCE ON ANY AREA WITHIN THE TRANS
MITTER.
5-4.
The FM-5T/FM-5TS transmitters contain high voltages and currents which, if regarded
carelessly, could be fatal. The transmitter has many built-in safety features, however good
judgement, care, and common sense are the best accident preventives. The maintenance
information contained in this section should be performed only by trained and experienced
maintenance personnel.
5-5.
It is very dangerous to attempt to make measurements or replace components with power
energized, therefore such actions are not recommended. The design of the equipment pro
vides safety features such that when a door is opened or an access panel is removed, inter
lock switches will deenergize all dc power supplies and release the fail-safe discharge sole
noid across the plate supply. Do not short out or bypass interlock switches as a mainte
nance short cut.
5-6.
The PA cavity access door actuates an interlock switch if the door is opened during trans
mitter operation. All dc supplies will be deenergized and the plate supply will be shorted
to ground. AC power to the entire cabinet may be disconnected with the front panel
AC
POWER ON/OFF
circuit breaker.
5-7.
A grounding stick is provided as a safety feature. The grounding stick consists of a metal
hook with an insulated handle. The metal end is connected to chassis ground. Use the
grounding stick to touch every part in the area or circuit on which maintenance is to be
performed before attempting maintenance.
5-8.
The grounding stick rests on a hook switch. When the grounding stick is removed, the as
sociated hook switch will open the transmitter interlock string and deenergize all transmit
ter dc potentials until the grounding stick is replaced on its respective hook switch.
