1、1 Quad Band FM Transceiver FT-8900R Technical Supplement Introduction This manual provides technical information necessary for servicing the FT-8900R Transceiver. Servicing this equipment requires expertise in handling surface-mount chip components. Attempts by non-qualified persons to service this

2、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 circuit board in the transceiver. Each side of thr board is referred to by the type of the majority of components installed on that s

3、ide (“leaded” or “chip-only”). In most cases one side has only chip components, and the other has either a mixture of both chip and leaded components (trimmers, coils, electrolytic capacitors, ICs, etc.), or leaded components only. While we believe the technical information in this manual to be corr

4、ect, 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 appreciated. Specifications . 2 Exploded View check with your dealer. Downl

5、oaded by? RadioAmateur.EU 3 Exploded View realignment should not be done until after the faulty component has been replaced. We recommend that servicing be performed only by au- thorized Vertex Standard service technicians who are ex- perienced with the circuitry and fully equipped for repair and al

6、ignment. Therefore, if a fault is suspected, contact the dealer from whom the transceiver was purchased for instructions regarding repair. Authorized Vertex Standard service technicians realign all circuits and make complete performance checks to ensure compliance with factory specifications after r

7、eplacing any faulty components. Those who do undertake any of the following alignments are cautioned to proceed at their own risk. Problems caused by unauthorized attempts at realignment are not covered by the warranty policy. Also, Vertex Standard must re- serve the right to change circuits and ali

8、gnment procedures in the interest of improved performance, without notify- ing owners. Under no circumstances should any alignment be attempt- ed unless the normal function and operation of the trans- ceiver are clearly understood, the cause of the malfunc- tion has been clearly pinpointed and any f

9、aulty compo- nents replaced, and the need for realignment determined to be absolutely necessary. Required Test Equipment The following test equipment (and thorough familiarity with its correct use) is necessary for complete realignment. Correction of problems caused by misalignment result- ing from

10、use of improper test equipment is not covered under the warranty policy. While most steps do not re- quire all of the equipment listed, the interactions of some adjustments may require that more complex adjustments be performed afterwards. Do not attempt to perform only a single step unless it is cl

11、early isolated electrically from all other steps. Have all test equipment ready before be- ginning, and follow all of the steps in a section in the or- der presented. ?Regulated DC Power Supply: adjustable from 10 to 17 VDC, 15 A ?RF Signal Generator with calibrated output level at 500 MHz ?Frequenc

Alignment Preparation & Precautions A dummy load and inline wattmeter must be connected to the main antenna jack in all procedures that call for tr

14、ansmission, except where specified otherwise. Correct alignment is not possible with an antenna. After complet- ing one step, read the following step to determine wheth- er the same test equipment will be required. If not, re- move the test equipment (except dummy load and watt- meter, if connected)

15、 before proceeding. Correct alignment requires that the ambient temperature in the repair shop be the same as that of the transceiver and test equipment, and that this temperature be held constant between 68 C and 86 F (20 C 30 C). When the transceiver is brought into the shop from hot or cold air i

16、t should be allowed some time for thermal equaliza- tion with the environment before alignment. If possible, alignments should be made with oscillator shields and circuit boards firmly affixed in place. Also, the test equip- ment must be thoroughly warmed up before beginning. Notes: Signal levels in
