1、1VX-4500/-4600 Series UHF FM Transceiver Service Manual Introduction This manual provides the technical information necessary for servicing the VX-4500/-4600 Series Mobile Transceiver. Servicing this equipment requires expertise in handing surface-mount chip components. Attempts by non-qualified per

2、sons to service this equipment may result in permanent damage not covered by the warranty, and may be illegal in some countries. Two PCB layout diagrams are provided for each double-sided board in this transceiver. Each side of the board is referred to by the type of the majority of components insta

3、lled on that side (“Side A” or “Side B”). In most cases one side has only chip components (surface-mount devices), and the other has either a mixture of both chip and leaded components (trimmers, coils, electrolytic capacitors, ICs, etc.), or leaded components only. As described in the pages to foll

4、ow, the advanced microprocessor design of the VX-4500/-4600 allows a complete alignment of this transceiver to be performed without opening the case of the radio; all adjustments can be performed from the personal computer, using with the Vertex Standard FIF-12 USB Programming Interface and CE115 So

While we believe the information in this manual to be correct, Vertex Standard assumes no liability for damage that may occur as a result of typographical or other errors that may be present. Your cooperation in pointing out any inconsistencies in the technical information would be appreciat

14、not be done until after the faulty component has been replaced. We recommend that servicing be performed only by authorized Vertex Standard service technicians who are experienced with the circuitry and fully equipped for repair and alignment. There- fore, if a fault is suspected, contact the dealer

15、 from whom the transceiver was purchased for instructions regarding repair. Authorized Vertex Standard service technicians realign all cir- cuits and make complete performance checks to ensure com- pliance with factory specifications after replacing any faulty components. Those who do undertake any

16、of the following align- ments are cautioned to proceed at their own risk. Problems caused by unauthorized attempts at realignment are not cov- ered by the warranty policy. Also, Vertex Standard must re- serve the right to change circuits and alignment procedures in the interest of improved performan

17、ce, without notifying own- ers. Under no circumstances should any alignment be attempt- ed unless the normal function and operation of the transceiver are clearly understood, the cause of the malfunction has been clearly pinpointed and any faulty components replaced, and the need for realignment det

18、ermined to be absolutely necessary. The following test equipment (and thorough familiarity with its correct use) is necessary for complete realignment. Correction of problems caused by misalignment resulting from use of im- proper test equipment is not covered under the warranty policy. While most s

19、teps do not require all of the equipment listed, the interactions of some adjustments may require that more com- plex adjustments be performed afterwards. Do not attempt to perform only a single step unless it is clearly isolated electrical- ly from all other steps. Have all test equipment ready bef

20、ore beginning, and follow all of the steps in a section in the order presented. Required Test Equipment ? Radio Tester with calibrated output level at 1 GHz ?

23、therwise. Correct align- ment is not possible with an antenna. Beacuse of the BTL (Bridged Trans Less) Amplifier circuit used in the VX-4500/-4600, do not connect eather side of the speak- er leads to chassis “ground”. After completing one step, read the following step to determine whether the same

24、test equipment will be required. If not, re- move the test equipment (except dummy load and wattmeter, if connected) before proceeding. Correct alignment requires that the ambient temperature be the same as that of the transceiver and test equipment, and that this temperature be held constant betwee

25、n 20 C and 30 C (68 F 86 F). When the transceiver is brought into the shop from hot or cold air, it should be allowed time to come to room temper- ature before alignment. Whenever possible, alignments should be made with oscillator shields and circuit boards firmly affixed in place. Also, the test e

26、quipment must be thoroughly warmed up before beginning. Note: Signal levels in dB referred to in this procedure are based on 0 dB EMF = 1.0 V.
