part of the Service Kit.
4.5.3 PLL Alignment
Before any alignment is carried out to the
transmitter, or receiver, it is necessary to align
the Phase Locked Loop (PLL). The PLL
consists of the Rx VCO, Tx VCO and TCXO.
If the PLL is out of lock, an audible warning
will be heard UL will appear on the LCD
display.
Note:
This alert will also be heard when a
channel is programmed out of the range of
operation of the radio, or it is not programmed
at all.
Note
: If the power save parameter is
programmed there will be a periodic change at
TP1. Measurement should be based on the
steady state voltage, with power save off.
In order to carry out repairs, the two halves of
the radio may need to be linked using the flexipcb, ME110016.
This is part of the Service Kit and the Interface
Box and leads will also be required for some
of the tests.
Connect the radio under test to the Test
Equipment.

The radio should remain programmed as Section 4.5.1 with ASIC values being read as per the
instructions.
Note
: The ASIC programmer
DOES NOT
read frequency data, so only default frequencies will be
displayed even though the actual radio is programmed and operational on different frequencies.
Any adjustments to deviation and balance must be carried out in accordance to the R&TTE directive.
This section provides a detailed description of the operation of the radio.
5.2 Common Circuits
Power Circuits
Battery voltage, or external voltage through the accessories connector, is applied via a 4A fuse (plus
diode protection) directly to the RF power module and, after the on/off switch, to the dc to dc converter
and voltage regulator. The majority of the circuitry is powered via IC1, which regulates the +7.5V dc
supply down to +5V.
Transistors Q2 and Q32, in conjunction with the Tx Enable and Rx Enable lines from the
microcontroller, apply +5V Tx or +5V Rx to the relevant circuitry during receive or transmit. Thus, for
instance, the receive front end amplifier is only powered during receive and the power control IC is
only powered during transmit.
It is possible to program the radio for power saving. This mode causes the microcontroller to pulse the
Rx Enable line high and low for periods between 100 and 300mS. The time may be selected when
programming the radio. As soon as the radio detects a signal it switches into normal mode.
Microcontroller
The microcontroller (IC403) is a One Time Programmed Processor chip based on the Hitachi HD3837
processor with onboard ROM and RAM.
It controls all functions performed by the radio, in conjunction with control signals from push buttons,
switches etc. It controls the data to/from the EEPROM and to the PLL IC, Audio ASIC as well as
controlling external data from the programmer and alignment interface. The microcontroller generates
the enable lines, controlling routing of signals and the indicators (LED,LCD and bleeps).
The microcontroller also generates and decodes the SAT tones (filtered by the ASIC).
EEPROM
Relevant channel information, such as Rx / Tx frequencies and CTCSS / DCS codes, is stored in the
EEPROM (IC404) which is a X25330. This information may be programmed and erased via the
accessories socket. Certain parameters can also be altered via the pushbuttons and keys on the
radio, i.e. scan channels and priority channel. The EEPROM has 32768 (8x4096) capacity and data is
written serially.
Channel Select Circuit
Up to 199 channels may be selected, using the channel keys on the front panel. Pressing the channel
keys earths pins 40 and 41 of the microcontroller, so enabling the decoding for the appropriate Rx and
Tx frequencies, and associated data, to be selected from the EEPROM.
The audio ASIC (IC406) processes both the audio signal and the sub-audible tones, including filtering,
amplifying, setting attenuations levels etc. It is a programmable device, controlled by the
microcontroller, hence alteration of deviation levels is achieved by the ACC-2003 Alignment Software.
The internal block diagram is shown in Figure 5-1. The audio and SAT routes within the ASIC will be
described separately.
5.3.1 Audio Signal Path
A1Buffers discriminator audio input from Pin 30 (INI) and passes it to
Analogue Switch 1 (ASW1). It has a gain of x1.
A2Amplifies the analogue signal from the mic input terminal (IN2) and
passes this signal to Analogue Switch 1. It has a gain of 10dB.
ASW1This is a two-way analogue switch. It is controlled by the serial control
interface. Default value is 0, which is Rx (A1).
INTRIMSets the deviation for the input analogue signal sensitivity. The control
range of this device is –3.5 to +4dB controllable in 16 steps. The
control is a 4 bit signal where the default value is 1000, which
corresponds to 0dB.
300Hz HPFComprises an 8
Attenuation of the unwanted is at least 30d B.
ASW2This is a four-way analogue switch, controlled by the serial control
interface. It passes the received audio to the de-emphasis circuit or
the transmit audio to the pre-emphasis circuit. Alternatively, the preemphasis or de-emphasis can be bypassed. The control signal is a 2
bit signal with 00 as the default, which is de-em phas is .
DE-EMPHASISApplies de-emphasis to the received audio at 6dB/octave. At 1kHz, the
gain is x1.
PRE-EMPHASISApplies pre-emphasis to the transmit audio at 6dB/octave. At 1kHz,
the gain is x1.
RXVOLControls the magnitude of the Rx audio signal which is passed, via the
volume control (VR5) to the speaker in 16 steps from 0dB attenuation
up to 37.5dB attenuation, to Rxout on pin 28.
AMPThis amplifier provides gain, to the Tx audio, in 8 steps from +20dB to
+41dB.
LIMITERApplies limiting at 0dB (2.8V p-p). The output of this stage is controlled
in 4 steps from 0dB to –5.4dB attenuation by a 2 bit control signal.
ASW3This is a two-way analogue switch, controlled by the serial control
interface. It passes the Tx audio, or the SAT to the low-pass filter.
VLPFThis is a 6
control interface. The cut-off point is switched between 2.55kHz and
3kHz.
TXTRIM1Provides deviation adjustment of Tx audio in 16 steps from +3.5dB
gain to –4dB attenuation. Uses a 4 bit control signal.
TXSUMMixes (Adds) the signal from TXTRIM1 with the SAT signals from
COMPIN+, or selects one or other of the signals. Can also apply 50dB
muting. Controlled by the serial control interface.
ATTNAttenuates the signal from TXSUM by either 0dB or 6dB.
TXTRIM2/3Signal follows two routes (to VCO & TCXO) for final deviation
adjustment in 32 stages from +3.75dB to –4dB. Controlled by 5 bit
signal.
A3/A4/INVFinal output buffer amplifier for Tx analogue signal. Gain is 0dB. A3
output (modout 1 on pin 1) goes to the VCO and A4 (modout 2 on pin
2) goes to TCXO, are non-inverting outputs. The inverting output (INV)
from A4 is not used.

0.5dB steps from –3dB to +2.5dB. Output is on pin 23 FLT OUT.
SATRIM1Not used.
SATRIM2SAT level adjustment. Amplitude is controlled in 0.5dB steps from –

COMCompares the external reference voltage (COMPPIN-) with the applied
SAT signal which is from FLTOUT to COMPIN+ and it goes to Logic
High and Logic Low at this point. The output COMPOUT (pin 21) goes
to the microcontroller IC406. NB in transmit the SAT is switched into
TXSUM.
5.3.3 Miscellaneous Signals and Controller
ADC / DACADC is not used. DACs are 8 bit devices.
CONTROLControl serial interface for control lines.
DATAOperates as output line for a READ instruction and as input line for a
WRITE instruction, Pin 18.
CLOCKThis is the synchronous input terminal for communication with the
microcontroller, pin 12.
ENBLWith an active low, data read and write is enabled.
AGND.DGNDReference analogue and digital grounds.
Discriminator audio from pin 9 IC5 is applied, via IC408D, to pin 3 of the audio ASIC. The audio
frequencies of the signal are filterecd out by the 7
audio tones. The level is then set by the ASIC and is routed via IC407A back to the ASIC for
comparison with a reference voltage. This produces the logic data signal. This logic signal on pin 21
(IC406) is fed into the microcontroller (IC403) where it is matched with a programmed frequency. If
there is a successful match, decode occurs, which is shown by a green LED on the top of the radio
and audio is heard. If there is an invalid decode, the LED will light yellow (BUSY)
CTCSS / DCS Encoder Circuits
During TX encode the tone squelch digital signal is produced as a 3-bit parallel word at pins 48, 49
and 50 of the micro controller (IC403). The 3-bit digital signal is converted to an analogue signal by
resistors R420, 421 and 423. The analogue signal is fed into IC406 pin 4 where it is filtered and its
deviation level is set.
The filtered encode output from pin 23 (IC406) is fed back into pin 22 (IC406) via IC407a (LM358).
The filtered encode signal is mixed with the audio signal from TXTRIM1 by TXSUM. Via ATTN, the
mixed signals are applied to TXTRIM2/TXTRIM3, which controls the modulation to the VCO and
TCXO respectively (see RF description).

External Mic / PTT Control Circuit
The external microphone is connected via a 3.5 mm stereo jack socket on the right-hand side of the
radio. The internal mic and speaker are disabled when the external connector is plugged the
SPK/MIC jack socket.
When the external PTT is depressed, a low impedance is presented to the base of Q403 (below 20k
ohm). Q402 and Q403 switch on and so Q402 collector is low (normally tied high). This point is
connected to IC403 (microcontroller) pin 43 (PTT). The same point is connected to the normal PTT
button, SW403, which is earthed when depr es s ed.
The mic audio itself is switched through IC401A by the Tx enable line to IC408D amplifier stage and
through to the audio ASIC for filtering and deviation level setting. As described previously, this audio
signal is added to the SAT and routed to the TCXO and VCO.
Rx Audio
The discriminator audio is fed directly into the audio ASIC from the RF section (see later). The ASIC
sets the gain and filters out any SAT. The output is fed to the volume control (VR5). The alert tones
and switch on melody is routed from the microcontroller via link LK27 to the same point to the volume
control.
The AF from the volume control is fed to the audio amplifier, a TDA7233, which is activated by the
mute circuit. The output is then fed to the internal or external speaker.
Mute Circuit
The microcontroller (IC403) has a mute circuit which is output on pin 13 (7233EN). The operation of
the mute depends upon a number of factors, such as is the demodulator receiving a mute signal from
the FM detector and does the signal have the correct CTCSS / DCS. The microcontroller will also
change the state of the mute if the monitor button is depressed (SW402), assuming that this function
has been enabled in the programming
Pin 13 is connected to Q414, Q415 via R446, which mutes the TDA7233IC.
When the battery voltage drops below 5.6 VDC a Battery Low indication is given. Due to the volts drop
across D403, a voltage below 5.6V on the battery gives a voltage less than 5V on the base of Q405. ,
Q405 switches on its when base is below 5v (current flow through R413), which switches on Q404, so
driving pin 52 of the microcontroller low (normally tied high). The micro controller disables the
transmitter and at the same time enables the red LED and sends an alert tone to warn the user. The
battery should be replaced or recharged at this time (one transmission is allowed after the low battery
warning).
LEDs and indicators
The red and green LEDs are switched on, via Q407and Q411, by control lines from the
microcontroller. Both the red and green LEDs being lit indicate the condition ‘busy’ i.e. orange. Both
the LCD and backlight are driven from the microcontroller.
The alert tones are generated in the microcontroller and are fed through a filter to the volume control
via link 27. There is an option of routing the tones directly to the audio amp via link28.
5.5 Common RF Circuits
PLL Synthesiser
The PLL synthesiser circuit is common to both the transmitter and receiver.
The synthesiser comprises:
Data
TCXO
IC 2
PLL
Tx or Rx
VCO
~
RF Out
DC - DC
Converter
Charge Pump
Loop Filter
Figure 5-2 – Synthesiser Block Diagram
12.8 MHz TCXO
The TCXO contains a crystal oscillator, which has 2-stage thermistor network compensation, and a
modulation port. Accuracy is +/-2.5 PPM from -30°C to +60°C. Frequency adjustment is provided by
TC701.
VCO
The VCO is configured as a Colpitts oscillator using transistor Q202, varactor diodes D201 / 202,
frequency setting inductor L203 and associated components. Cascade bias is provided by Q201.
The frequency of operation is controlled by reverse biasing D201 in the range of 1 to 12 V dc (from the
PLL). During receive Q9 is switched on by the Rx enable (active low), so switching D203 in circuit (via
Q203), which puts C208 (variable capacitor) in parallel with the varactor diodes and adjustable
inductor.
In transmit the VCO has modulation from the audio processing circuitry applied to D202. C204 is used
to provide compensation for non-linearity caused by the modulation diode and maintains a constant
modulation regardless of the frequency of operation.
PLL IC
The reference frequency from the TCXO, at 12.8 MHz, is connected to pin 20 of IC2 (MC145191).
The appropriate VCO is connected to pin 11.
The external reference frequency, TCXO input, is divided by the reference divider (REFDIV), which is
set to divide by 2048 for 12.5kHz or 25kHz channels (6.25kHz) or to divide by 2560 for 20kHz
channels (5kHz). This is known as the reference frequency, Fr.
The comparison frequency is determined by the settings which are stored within the EEPROM
(IC404). Choice of these comparison frequencies means that the minimum step size of the synthesiser
is either 5kHz or 6.25kHz and therefore, 12.5kHz, 20kHz and 25kHz channel spacings can be
accommodated.
IC2 is programmed on pin 19, to obtain the desired frequency, by serial data from the microcontroller
(IC403 pin 21). IC2 Pin 19 is the data input and pin 18 is the clock input and pin 17 is the PLL enable
line.
The VCO frequency, Fin, is divided down by the programmable divider (64/65 prescaler VARDIV) to,
again, produce 5kHz or 6.25kHz. This frequency is known as the variable frequency, Fv.
In the phase/frequency comparator, the phase difference between the reference frequency, Fr, and
the VCO signal, Fv, is compared.
When Fv = Fr, the phase detector output (pins 3 and 4, IC2) produces narrow negative pulses and Fv
and Fr pulse widths are identical. When Fv > Fr, pin 4 (V) pulses negative, with pin 3 (R) remaining
high. When Fv < Fr, pin 3 (R) pulses negative with pin 4 (V) remaining high. The signal at pins 3 and
4 is smoothed by the loop filter and applied to the VCO.
Out-of-Lock Detector
The out-of-lock detector output remains essentially high with narrow low-going pulses when in lock.
The output pulses low when Fr and Fv are out of phase or at a different frequency (results in wider
pulses). These pulses at pin 2 are buffered by Q5 and then integrated by R1 and C11. The resultant
voltage is fed to the microcontroller, IC403, pin 53.
IC2 has two output ports:
Port A pin 16Configurable digital port, which is used as tx enable 2, which controls the application
of volts to the PA stage.
Port B pin 15Open drain digital output, which is used as a power save control.
Pin 13 labelled test2 allows the technician to see the output of the dual modules prescaler for trouble
shooting purposes, no connect ion shou ld be m ade to this pin .
Charge Pump and Loop Filter
Transistors Q6 to Q8 and Q11, and associated components, form the charge pump. The phase
detector output from IC2 pins 3 and 4 are combined by the charge pump to produce a 0 to 12V tuning
voltage.
The voltage signal is filtered by the loop filter (R12 – R14, C21 - C24) to remove harmonics of the
reference frequency.
DC to DC Converter
The DC to DC converter, converts the +7.5 V to a 16 V suppy. This is used to provide the tuning
voltage for the VCO. A wide voltage range is required to allow for the wideband operation of the radio.
Q904, Q905 and associated components, form a 200kHz oscillator. The output of the oscillator is
rectified (voltage tripled) by D901, D902 and D903. C901, C902 and C916 provide filtering. The
resultant 16Vdc is passed to R909 and then becomes the supply rail for the charge pump.
The RF output level from the VCO is 0dBm. This is amplified to +17dBm by the buffer amplifier
consisting of Q16, Q17, Q3 and associated components. All stages are simple common-emitter
amplifiers with resistive biasing and tuned collectors. A pi-type attenuator (R31, 32 and 34) is used
between the two stages.
PA module
The PA module consists of a hybrid amplifier. Pin 3 is permanently connected to the battery voltage
and pin 2 is connected to the supply when switched by Q22, which is controlled via the power control
circit by the Tx enable line. The RF input is on pin 1 and the output is on pin 4.
Low pass filter
L7, L8, L11, C73, C74, C75 and C76 form a 7th order Chebyshev low pass filter. Unwanted
harmonics are reduced by 65dB.
Antenna Switch
When transmitting, the diodes D5 and D6 are forward biased, allowing the RF to pass to the antenna.
D6 is shorted to ground which makes L13 look open circuit (1/4 wave tuned stub). This prevents the
Tx signal from passing to the receiver stage.
In receive, the diodes D5 and D6 are reverse biased. L13 is now in circuit, passing the signal from the
antenna to the front end without signal loss.
Automatic power control (APC) circuits
The APC circuit consists of IC3B, Q19, Q21, Q22 and associated components. The PA supply current
passes through R109. Variations in power output, produce variations in supply current, which is
amplified by IC3A and Q19.
The voltage on the wiper of RV1 is passed to IC3B and compared with the fixed reference voltage
developed by the potential divider R45 and R46. The output of IC3B, pin 7, controls Q21 and Q22 to
provide supply voltage to the PA driver transistors Q501 and Q502. RV3 controls the low power
setting and is switched into circuit by Q23.
A change in PA output will result in an inverse change in driver supply voltage maintaining a constant
RF output.
In receive, the diodes D5 and D6 are reverse biased. L13 is now in circuit, passing the signal from the
antenna to the front end without signal loss.
Front End
The receive signal is routed to the RF Front End module, pin 1. It passes through a matching circuit
consisting of C601 to C603 / L601 & L602.
Diode D601 serves as protection from RF overload from nearby transmitters.
The input signal is coupled to the base of Q601 which serves as an RF amplifier. The output of Q601
is then coupled to a bandpass filter consisting of C604 to C620 / L603 to L607.
The output of the front end module, pin 6, is then coupled to the double-balanced mixer D9.
The receiver front end module is factory pre-tuned and requires no adjustment. Repair is effected by
replacement of the entire module.
The modules are:
VHF 146 MHz to 174 MHz
D9, T1 and T2 form a double balanced mixer which provides the 45.1MHz intermediate frequency
output. The filtered frequency from the front end module is coupled to T1.
The Local oscillator input from the VCO is coupled to T2.
The output of the mixer is taken from the tap on transformer T1 and fed to the single pole diplexer,
comprising L15 / C93 and R65 (High-pass terminating filter) and L14 / C92 (Low-pass coupling filter)
The 45.1MHz crystal filter provides a bandwidth of +/-7.2 kHz. This filter provides a high degree of
protection from spurious and intermodulation products. Additionally, a 90 MHz trap (C93 / L15) is
placed at the filter input.
The output of the filter is coupled by C43 to the base of the post filter IF amplifier Q25.
Second mixer, Second IF, FM detector
The output of the IF amplifier is fed into the narrowband FM IF Integrated Circuit, IC5 (MC3372). This
is a single conversion FM receiver which contains the second mixer, second IF amplifier, and FM
detector.
The second local oscillator frequency is determined by the crystal X1 connected to pin 1 of IC5. In this
case the crystal has a frequency of 44.645MHz. The first IF signal is applied to the mixer and the
resultant frequency of 455KHz, is the difference between the IF signal and second local oscillator.
The 455KHz IF signal is output from pin 3 and is applied to a 455KHz band-pass filter, CF1 (20/25 kHz
channel spacing) or CF2 (12.5 kHz channel spacing). The selection of the filters is accomplished by
diodes D13 (input) and D14 (output) whose bias is controlled by the N/S SW line on the
microcontroller (IC403, pin 25).
The microcontroller takes the relevant channel spacing data from the EEPROM. A High on the N/S
SW line switches the 455kHz signal to CF1, a low switches the signal to CF2.
The output of the relevant IF filter is passed to pin 5, which is the input to the limiting amplifier.
The limiting amplif ier is biased ex ter na ll y by R19 & R95 and conn ec ted b y C52 to the quadratur e
detector (X2). The output connects to pin 8. The quadrature circuitry provides a 90° phase shift at the
IF centre frequency, which enables audio to be recovered. Any detected signal is produced at pin 9 of
IC5 and applied to the Receiver Audio Circuit and the Mute (Squelch) Circuit.
Squelch (Mute) Circuit
The mute circuit switches off the audio amplifier when no audio signal is present. The squelch circuit
consists of IC5 and RV2 (RV4) and their associated components. The noise signal from pin 9 of IC5
is amplified by an internal amplifier in IC5 and fed to the 16kHz bandpass filter.
16kHz Band Pass Filter
The audio signal from pin 9 of IC5 is filtered by a 16 kHz band pass filter consisting of L16, L17 / C111
to C113. The noise in the IF passband is accepted and voice frequencies and their products are
rejected.
Any noise present at the output of the filter is applied to the noise detector circuit via RV2 (RV4). RV2
(RV4) is used to adjust the squelch circuit sensitivity and is normally adjusted to produce a noise
squelch opening sensitivity of 10 to 12 dB SINAD.
For 12.5 kHz channel spacing, RV4 is switched in, by the microcontroller and Q28, to attenuate signal
at RV2 for 25 kHz channels. A High on the N/S SW line switches in RV4.
The output from the band pass filter is applied to the filter amplifier input on pin 10 of IC5.
The noise detector circuit, in conjunction with IC5, consists of transistors Q26, Q27, thermistor TH1
and diode D11. Any noise signal present is applied to Q27 from pin 11 of IC5. The signal is amplified
by Q27, rectified by D11 and then buffered by Q26. The buffered signal is applied to pin 12 of IC5
(Squelch input).
The squelch trigger output (pin 14, IC5) is applied to the microcontroller BUSY input on pin 54 of
IC403. The actual audio mute is from the microcontroller.
When noise is present, the voltage at pin 12 of IC5 (Squelch input) exceeds 0.7V. This causes the
squelch trigger output to go open circuit, which turns on Q24 and the busy line goes low, which mutes
the receiver audio circuit.
When no noise is present, the voltage at pin 12 of IC5 is less than 0.7 V and pin 14 of IC5 is
grounded, which switches Q24 off, so the busy line goes high, unmuting the receiver audio circuit.
Resistor R74 is used to provide hysteresis of 3 to 6 dB.
AF Output Low Pass Filter
A low pass filter formed by C115, C116 and R91 removes any extraneous 455 kHz energy from the
AF output of the FM receiver chip.
Speaker Audio Amplifier
After signal detection and audio filtering the signal is passed to the digital board, to the audio ASIC
(via IC408 for SAT). ). After the audio ASIC (see previous description) the signal is then routed, via
the volume control (VR5), to pin 8 of IC402. IC402 is a TDA7233 audio amplifier, which is enabled by
the control line from the microcontroller via Q415 and Q414.
This section includes voltage and troubleshooting charts which should assist the engineer to isolate
and repair the fault. Voltage measurements should be made using a high-impedance voltmeter and
the values given are with respect to ground.
Obvious checks, such as battery performance on load, should be made before pulling the radio apart.
Substitution of another set of batteries, or the use of a power supply, isolates this cause.
The alignment procedures, given in Section 5, list how standard tests such as SINAD measurements
can be made. These can be used to check the performance of the receiver.
Careful alignment, using suitable test equipment, and quality interface cables should ensure that the
radios meet their specified performance.

Maxon SP200/210 Radio SP200/210
10.1.1 Component Replacement
Surface mount components
Surface mount components should always
be replaced using a temperature controlled
soldering system.
The soldering tools may be either a
temperature controlled soldering iron or a
temperature controlled hot-air soldering
station.
A hot-air system is recommended for the
removal of components on the multi-layered
boards used in the radio.
With either soldering system, the component
manufacturer’s recommended temperature
should be maintained.
The following procedures outline the removal
and replacement of surface mount
components. If a hot-air soldering system is
employed, see the manufacturer’s operating
instructions for detailed information on the
use of your system.
Use extreme care with the soldering
equipment to prevent damage to the printed
circuit board (PCB) and the surrounding
components.
3.When the solder on all terminals is
liquefied, gently remove the component.
Excessive force may cause the PCB pads to
separate from the board if all solder is not
completely liquefied.
4.It may be necessary to remove
excess solder using a vacuum de-soldering
tool or solder wick. Again, use great care
when de- soldering or soldering on the
printed circuit boards.
It may be necessary to remove the epoxy
adhesive that was under the surface mount
component and any flux on the PCB.
Surface mount component replacement
1.“Tin” one terminal end of the new
component and the corresponding pad of the
PCB. Use as little solder as possible.
CAUTION
of any surface mount component using
standard soldering method. Heat should be
applied only to the metalised terminals of the
components. Hot-air systems do not damage
the components since the heat is quickly and
evenly distributed to the external surface of
the component.
CAUTION
devices used in this equipment can be
destroyed by static discharges.
Before handling any of these devices,
service technicians should discharge
themselves by touching the case of a bench
test instrument that has a 3-prong power
cord connected to an outlet with a known
good earth ground.
When soldering or desoldering a CMOS
device, the soldering equipment should have
a known good earth ground.
Surface mount removal
1.Grip the component with tweezers
or sill needle nose pliers.
2.Alternately heat the metalised
terminal ends of the surface mount
component with the soldering iron. If a hotair system is used, direct the heat to the
terminals of the component.
: Avoid applying heat to the body
: The CMOS integrated circuit
2.Place the component on the PCB
pads, observing proper orientation for
capacitors, diodes, transistors, etc.
3.Simultaneously touch the “tinned”
terminal end and the “tinned” pad with the
soldering iron. Slightly press the component
down on the board as the solder liquefies.
Solder all terminals, allowing the component
time to cool between each
application of heat.
Do not apply heat for an excessive length of
time and do not use excessive solder.
With a hot-air system, apply hot air until all
“tinned” areas are melted and the component
is seated in place. It may be necessary to
slightly press the component down on the
board.
Touch-up the soldered connections with a
standard soldering iron as needed. Do not
use excessive solder.
CAUTION
the internal and external plast ic parts of the
radio.
4.Allow the component and the board
to cool and then remove all flux from the area
using alcohol or another approved flux
remover.
Soldering and de-soldering techniques of the
surface mounted IC’s are similar to the
above outlined procedures for the surface
mounted chip components.
Use extreme care and observe static
precautions when removing or replacing the
defective (or suspect) IC’s. This will prevent
any damage to the printed circuit board or
the surrounding circuitry.
The hot-air soldering system is the best
method of replacing surface mount IC’s. The
IC’s can -easily be removed and installed
using the hot-air system. See the
manufacturer’s instructions for complete
details on tip selection and other operating
instructions unique to your system.
If a hot-air systems is not available, the
service technician may wish to clip the pins
near the body of the defective IC and remove
it. The pins can then be removed from the
PCB with a standard iron and tweezers, and
the new IC installed following the Surface
Mount Component Replacement procedures.
Provided that the IC is relatively new, It will
not be necessary to ‘tin’, all (or any) of the IC
pins before the installation process.
If the IC has been in stock for some time,
cleaning, and tinning of the pins may be
necessary.

This Section is reproduced from the ACC-2003 User Guide and provides information on the operation
of the ACC-2003 Interface Test Jig.
This jig is used for the Service adjustment of the SP200/210 radio.
The Calibration program (Calibration.exe) is used to allow the setting of ASIC conditions within the
radio.
Default ASIC conditions can be programmed into a radio and then repeated from radio to radio.
For non-ATE conditions, such as Repair or Adjustment, the various parameters can be manually
adjusted.
11.2 Test Equipment
A Standard Radio Communication Test Set, oscilloscope and 7.5V Power supply are required.
11.3 Calibration Program
11.3.1 Operation
Ensure that the Power Switch is OFF on the Interface box. Switch on the S200/210 and place
the volume control at the half-way position.
Place the ATE/MANUAL switch in the ATE position (switch down). Place the Audio EN switch in the
ON position (switch down) and PTT off. Switch the Test Jig on by operating the on/off switch.
The letter ‘A’ should be displayed on the SP200/210.
On the PC, start the Calibration.exe program. Figure 11-1 should be displayed.

Select the required band and press Enter. Figure 11-2 will be displayed.
Figure 11-2 - Calibration Program Primary Screen
To dedicate the Communication Port, select Configuration and enter the relevant port number.
Selecting EEPROM loading will retrieve the current ASIC values, stored in the radio. This is used for
the alignment of the radio. This selection should not be made if the EEPROM is empty (new
EEPROM) or if the radio is in the middle of another operation.
If there is a Communications error, check the setting BEFORE turning the power on at the Interface
Box.
Press ‘ESC’ at error message and then ‘N’ to try again.
To write default values (see Default Settings) select ‘EEPROM’ Refill. This writes the default ASIC
values and the default frequencies.
To program the radio with the altered ASIC values, press F6.
Note
: If the channel shows ‘Unlock’ under the PLL status (top right) this implies that the channel does
not have a valid frequency programmed into the radio. This will also occur if the start-up sequence is
not observed, see Section 11.1.
If writing is in progress, ASIC CONTROL will be displayed, see Figure 11-3.
See Section 11.4 for default ASIC values; these may alter depending upon Production requirements.

11.3.3.3 Audio Deviation Limits
Use Channel 2. Turn the SAT tone off and input an audio level (1kHz) at 20dB above nominal. Check
that the peak deviation is between 2.0 and 2.15kHz at 12.5kHz channel spacing or between 4.0 and
4.3kHz for 25kHz channel spacing.
TXTRIM1 can be used to adjust the audio deviation. Check at frequencies across the band.
Any other adjustments are covered earlier on in this Service Manual.
11.3.3.4 SAT Deviation
Input a SAT tone, with no MIC level. Check that the tone deviation is between 300 and 350Hz at
12.5kHz channel spacing or 650 to 700Hz tone deviation at 25kHz channel spacing.
SATRIM2 can be used to adjust the SAT deviation. Check at frequencies across the band.
The receive mode is entered by pressing SHIFT + R on the keyboard.
Ensure that the power supply is set to +7.5V.
11.3.4.1 Audio Output Level
Set Test Set RF level to –47dBm, with 1kHz audio modulation at 20dB above nominal. Set the
volume control to maximum and adjust RX_VOL to generate 2.2Vrms audio output level.
Any other adjustments are covered earlier on in this Service Manual.
