1.2Caution: 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.
1.4Caution: 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.

2.1Torx 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).

A2.2MechanicalM830P-00
2.2Pozidriv & 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).
To carry out alignment or change option links, you need to remove only the top cover,
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:
•Q370
• solder link SL501 (fast key option).

2.5Chassis & 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.

3Component Replacement
3.1Leaded 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.
3.1.1Desoldering 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).
3.1.2Component 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.

3.2Surface 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.
3.3Cased 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.

1.1Introduction
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).
