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:

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 rotating 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).

Copyright TEL 01/07/00
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 pressure 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 differences between typical Pozidriv and Philips screw heads and screwdriver tips (actual hardware may differ slightly from these illustrations due to variations in manufacturing techniques).

2.5 Chassis & Cover Compatibility
The chassis and covers used in T800 Series II modules incorporate a number of design changes to improve Electro-Magnetic Compatibility (EMC) performance. It is impor­tant that only the new-design covers are fitted to the new chassis to ensure correct mechanical fit and continued compliance with appropriate EMC Type Approval regula­tions.
Figure 2.3 below shows some of the main features which can be used to identify the new-design chassis and covers.

M830P-00 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.

removal of the lead by drawing it
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 Customer Service Organisa­tion 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 Customer Service Organisation.
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.

1.1 Introduction
The T837 is a synthesised, microprocessor controlled, DFSK low speed paging exciter designed for single or multichannel
1
operation in the 148 to 174MHz frequency range2. With a standard power output of only 800mW, the exciter is designed for use with the T839 100W power amplifier. The RF section of the exciter comprises a frequency syn­thesiser which provides 170mW of frequency modulated RF drive to a two stage, wide band output amplifier. The synthesiser frequency is programmed via the serial commu­nications port.
The low speed paging modulator section provides DFSK modulation. It incorporates a TCXO frequency reference and uses two point modulation to achieve modulation of data rates from 2400bps down to DC.
All components except those of the VCO 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 circuit board is obtained by removing each of the chassis lids. There is provision within the chassis to mount small option PCBs.
The front panel has two indicator LEDs to show when the transmit carrier is on (red) and when the DC supply is connected (green). The T837 is 60mm wide and occupies a single space in a Tait rack frame, which has the ability to accommodate up to seven standard modules.
1. Although you can program the microcontroller with up to 128 channels, you must carry out the modulation adjustment procedure if you change frequency (see Section
3.5).
2. Although capable of operating over the 148-174MHz frequency range, the T837 has an 8MHz VCO switching range (see Section 1.2.3 and Section 3.1).
