Tuning Instructions
General
All tunings of the THF–9 phones can be carried out with Service Software. This program turns the phone into the local mode, enabling control
of the phone over the external M2BUS interface.
Tuning of the THF–9 is based on the Service Software communicating
with the D/A and A/D converters of the phone. In a few instances, the
phone also calculates the required correction parameter. The tuning values of the phone reside in the EEPROM.
The program recognizes the phone hardware version and shows correct
frequencies and channels that should be used when tuning the phone.
When you are doing tuning steps the software searches for ”default.set”
file. If it does not exist, the program uses default channels depending on
the phone harware or country version.
Tuning Instructions
When tuning fields are tuned, write new values to the phone by pressing
ALT–S. Program asks ”Write data to phone?”, default is ”NO”.
Note: Tunings have to be done by using an accurate 6.5 V supply.
The reference values for battery and charge voltage are set by using
a 6.0 V supply.
CAUTION
During tuning, proceed as follows:
– Take care not to damage sensitive measuring instruments by using too
much RF power.
– Carry out all tuning steps as quickly as possible to avoid excessive heat
buildup on the RF unit.
– Carry out the tuning steps in the order given.
– Never attempt to tune out a defect!
– Consider the info texts.

Equipment Setup
Turn off the computer before connecting to avoid possible damage to the
serial port.
Connect the M2BUS adapter (DAU–2, item 7) to the serial port (25–pin
male D–connector). In case your PC (as AT types in general) has a 9–pin
serial port use the special connector adapter cable provided (item 6).
Then connect the modular cable XCM–1 (item 4) from the M2BUS adapter to the modular T–connector (item 3).
Then connect the modular cable XCM–1 (item 4) trom the first modular
T–connector to the second modular T–connector. Now connect the transceiver THF–9 to the modular T–connector by using cable from test frame
JBS–8 (item 1).
Then connect external audio lines to the measurement station by using
the audio cable ADS–1 (item 2).
Connect modular power connector SCF–6 (item 5) to the modular T–connector. the supply voltage must be set to 6.5 V, when the phone is tuned.
Tuning Instructions
For transmit and audio measuring and adjustment connect EAR/MIC
breakout cable ADS–1 as follows:
– EAR line to test equipment (Marconi 2960) AF INPUT
– MIC line to test equipment (Marconi 2955) AF GEN OUTPUT
Do not disconnect short coaxial jumpers between 2955/2960.
Note: The supply voltage must be set to 6.0 V, when battery and
charger referencies are tuned. Use of Service box JBS–7 is not
recommended.
