1.2 Caution: CMOS Devices

This equipment contains CMOS Devices which are susceptible to damage from static
charges. Care when handling these devices is essential. For correct handling proce­dures refer to the manufacturers' data books, e.g. Philips data books covering CMOS
devices, or Motorola CMOS data books, Section 5 'Handling', etc.

An anti-static bench kit (refer to Figure 1.2) is available from Tait Electronics Ltd under
the following product codes:

• KS0001 - 1 conductive rubber bench mat

- 1 earth lead to connect the mat to ground

• KS0004 - 1 wrist strap.

The equipment has been designed to operate safely under a wide range of aerial loading
conditions. However, we strongly recommend that the transmitter should always be
operated with a suitable load to prevent damage to the transmitter output power stage.

1.4 Caution: Beryllium Oxide & Power Transistors

The RF power transistors in current use all contain some beryllium oxide. This sub­stance, while perfectly harmless in its normal solid form, can become a severe health
hazard when it has been reduced to dust. For this reason the RF power transistors
should not be broken open, mutilated, filed, machined, or physically damaged in any
way that can produce dust particles.

2.1 Torx Recess Head Screws

Torx recess head screws are becoming the standard screw head type in all T800 Series II
equipment, with Pozidriv and Philips recess head screws being used in fewer applica­tions.

The Torx recess head has the advantage of improved screwdriver tip location, reducing
the chances of screw head damage caused by the driver tip r o tating within the recess. In
addition, using a ball-tip Torx screwdriver allows you to drive a Torx head screw with
the driver on a slight angle, which can be useful in situations where access is restricted.

It is important that you use the correct Torx screwdriver tip:

M3 screws - T10
M4 screws - T20.

Figure 2.1 below shows a typical Torx recess head screw (actual hardware may differ
slightly from this illustration due to variations in manufacturing techniques).

A2.2 Mechanical M860-00-Preliminary

2.2 Pozidriv & Philips Recess Head Screws

Pozidriv and Philips recess head screws will continue to be used in T800 Series II equip­ment in a few special applications. It is important that you use the correct type and size
screwdriver for each screw type to avoid damaging the screw head.

It is particularly important that you do not use Philips screwdrivers on Pozidriv screw
heads as the tapered driving flutes of the Philips screwdriver do not engage correctly
with the parallel-sided slots in the Pozidriv screw head. This can result in considerable
damage to the screw head if the screwdriver tip turns inside the recess.

Note:

If you find you need excessive downwards pr essure to keep the screwdriver
tip in the Pozidriv screw head, you are probably using the wrong type and/
or size screwdriver.

Figure 2.2 below shows the main dif ferences between typical Pozidriv and Philips screw
heads and screwdriver tips (actual hardware may differ slightly from these illustrations
due to variations in manufacturing techniques).

i.e. the one adjacent to the front panel handle and on the opposite side to the main
D-range connector (D-range 1/PL100).

You need to remove the bottom cover to:

• access SMD components

• change solder blob links

• fit test leads to circuit block access points.

M860-00-Preliminary Component Replacement A3.1

3 Component Replacement

3.1 Leaded Components

Whenever you are doing any work on the PCB that involves removing or fitting compo­nents, you must take care not to damage the copper tracks. The two satisfactory meth­ods of removing components from plated-through hole (PTH) PCBs are detailed below.

Note:

The first method requires the use of a desoldering station, e.g. Philips SBC
314 or Pace MBT-100E.

3.1.1 Desoldering Iron Method

Place the tip over the lead and, as the solder starts to melt, move the tip in a circu­lar motion.

Start the suction and continue the movement until 3 or 4 circles have been com­pleted.

Remove the tip while continuing suction to ensure that all solder is removed from
the joint, then stop the suction.

Before pulling the lead out, ensure it is not stuck to the plating.

If the lead is still not free, resolder the joint and try again.

Note:

The desoldering iron does not usually have enough heat to desolder leads
from the ground plane. Additional heat may be applied by holding a sol­dering iron on the tip of the desoldering iron (this may require some addi­tional help).

3.1.2 Component Cutting Method

Cut the leads on the component side of the PCB.

Heat the solder joint
out from the component side: do

Fill the hole with solder and then clear with solderwick.

3.2 Surface Mount Devices

Caution: Surface mount devices (SMDs) require special storage, handling,

removal and replacement techniques. This equipment should be serv­iced only by an approved Tait Dealer or Subsidiary equipped with the
necessary facilities. Repairs attempted with incorrect equipment or by
untrained personnel may result in permanent damage. If in doubt,
contact your nearest Tait Dealer or Subsidiary.

3.3 Cased Mica Capacitors

Cased mica capacitors can be removed by heating the top with a heavy-duty soldering
iron and gently lifting the capacitor off the PCB with a solder-resistant spike or equiva­lent.

M860-00-Preliminary T865 General Information B1.3

1.1 Introduction

The T865 is a high performance microprocessor controlled FM base station receiver
designed for single or multichannel operation in the 220 to 270MHz frequency range.

The receiver is a dual conversion superhet with a synthesised local oscillator. Th e first
IF is 21.4MHz, allowing exceptionally high spurious signal rejection to be achieved in
the receiver front end. The second IF section (455kHz) combines amplitude limiting,
detection and RSSI within a single integrated circuit. This IC also drives a noise level
detector for gating the audio output. RSSI can also be used to drive a carrier mute for
audio output gating (link selectable).

The audio section output can be adjusted to deliver >+10dBm to a 600 ohm balanced
output, and 1W to a local monitor speaker. A flat or de-emphasised audio response is
link selectable.

The synthesiser frequency is programmed via the serial communications port. Eight
channel select lines are accessible via an optional D-range connector (D-range 2 ­T800-03-0000) at the rear of the set.

All components except those on the VCO board are mounted on a single PCB. This is
secured to a die-cast chassis which is divided into compartments to individually shield
each section of circuitry. Access to both sides of the main PCB is obtained by removing
each of the two chassis covers. There is provision within the chassis to mount small
option PCBs.

The front panel controls include gating sensitivity, line level, monitor volume and a
monitor mute switch.

The T865 has a width of 60mm and occupies a single space in a Tait rack frame, which
has the ability to accommodate up to seven standard modules.

The first digit in the Type group designates the frequency range:
T86X-X

The second digit in the Type group indicates the channel spacing:
T86X-XX

X-XXXX ’1’ for 220-244MHz

’2’ for 243-270MHz

-XXXX ’0’ for wide bandwidth (25kHz)
’3’ for mid bandwidth (20kHz)
’5’ for narrow bandwidth (12.5kHz)

Options

T86X-XX-XXXX The Options group uses four digits and/or letters to indicate

any options that may be fitted to the product. This includes

You can identify the receiver type by checking the product code printed on a label on
the rear of the chassis (Figure 1.1 in Part A shows typical labels). You can further verify
the receiver type by checking the placement of an SMD resistor in the table that is scr een
printed onto the PCB (refer to Section 6.1 for more details).
