3.1

Review and become familiar with entire procedure before beginning Calibration Process.

Unless otherwise designated, and prior to beginning the Calibration Process, ensure that all test equipment voltage and/or current outputs are set to zero (0) or turned off, where applicable. Ensure that all equipment switches are set to the proper position before making connections or applying power.

3.2 Connect TI and test equipment to appropriate power source and set all POWER switches to ON. Allow a 2 hour warm-up time for the TI and allow test equipment to warm-up as required by manufacturer of test equipment.

NOTE

Adjustment of the Time Base Oscillator is normal due to the Aging Rate of the crystal, This is common to all Quartz Oscillators. However, in order to ensure the reliability of the TI, the following action will be taken: If TI passes the following applicable steps, NO ADJUSTMENT ACTION should be entered into the Maintenance Data Collection System. If the TI failed, perform the applicable steps listed in applicable Maintenance Technical Order or Commercial Data and enter appropriate ADJUSTMENT ACTION into the Maintenance Data Collection System.

decremented back to the original signal level before taking the measurement. If

the power levels of the Synthesized Sweeper and Synthesized Signal Generator are already at their highest level, then the signal levels of the Synthesized Sweeper and Synthesized Signal Generator may be manually adjusted to locate the intermodulation products; however, it is critical the signal levels be decreased

A.1 TIME BASE ADJUSTMENT: [Room Temperature Crystal Oscillator (RTXO)]

A. 1.1

Connect Frequency Standard 10 MHz REF OUT to the Electronic Counter EXT FREQ STD INPUT

(I-10 MHz). Set Electronic Counter INT

STD/EXT

STD switch to EXT STD.

A.1.2 Connect TI 10 MHz Reference Output to the Electronic Counter CH A input. Set Electronic Counter 50

SZ/lM R

switch to 50

A.1.3 Adjust the TI Reference Oscillator Adjustment for an Electronic Counter indication of 10 MHz +l count of LSD.

A. 1.4 Allow TI 10 MHz Reference Oscillator a minimum of one (1) hour to stabilize. Repeat step A. 1.3 as required.

A. 1.5 Disconnect the test setup and continue

A.2 TIME BASE ADJUSTMENT: [Temperature Compensated Crystal Oscillator (TCXO)]

with

para 4.1.

A.2.1 Connect Frequency Standard 10 MHz REF OUT to the Electronic Counter EXT FREQ STD INPUT (l-10 MHz). Set Electronic Counter INT

STD/EXT

STD switch to EXT STD.

A.2.2 Connect TI 10 MHz Reference Output to the Electronic Counter CH A input. Set Electronic Counter 50

R/lM n

switch to 50 R and GATE TIME to 1 sec.

A.2.3 Adjust the TI Reference Oscillator Adjustment for an Electronic Counter indication of 10 MHz + the Offset labeled on the cover of the TCXO. For example: If the Offset is labeled

+3.5

Hz, the TCXO should be adjusted for

a frequency indication of 10.000 003.5 MHz on Electronic Counter. A.2.4 Allow TI 10 MHz Reference Oscillator a minimum of one (1) hour to stabilize. Repeat step A.2.3 as

required. A.2.5 Disconnect the test setup and continue with

A.3 TIME BASE ADJUSTMENT: [Oven Controlled Crystal Oscillator (OCXO)]

para

4.1.

A.3.1 Connect Frequency Standard 10 MHz FREQ OUT to Frequency Difference Meter (FDM) REF INPUT.

Connect TI rear panel 10 MHz Reference Output to the FDM SIG INPUT connector. A.3.2 Standardize the FDM as required. Set FDM METER RANGE switch as required for an on scale indication

on the FDM. A.3.3 Adjust TI Reference Oscillator Adjustment, as required for lowest possible null on the FDM meter.

A.3.4 Allow TI 10 MHz Reference Oscillator a minimum of one (1) hour to stabilize and repeat step A.3.3 as required.

A.3.5 Disconnect equipment from TI and continue with
