3 PRELIMINARY OPERATIONS:

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.

NOTE

While performing the Third Order Intermodulation Calibration, if the products

are not discernible, the signal levels of the Synthesized Sweeper and Synthesized Signal Generator may be increased by increments of intermodulation products may then be located as instructed, and the signal levels of the Synthesized Sweeper and Synthesized Signal Generator outputs need to be

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

back to their original power levels before the measurement is taken.
