Guide to Using Harris Parts List Information
The Harris Replaceable Parts List Index portrays a tree structure with the major items being leftmost in the index.
The example below shows the Transmitter as the highest item in the tree structure. If you were to look at the bill of
materials table for the Transmitter you would find the Control Cabinet, the PA Cabinet, and the Output Cabinet. In
the Replaceable Parts List Index the Control Cabinet, PA Cabinet, and Output Cabinet show up one indentation level
below the Transmitter and implies that they are used in the Transmitter. The Controller Board is indented one level
below the Control Cabinet so it will show up in the bill of material for the Control Cabinet. The tree structure of this
same index is shown to the right of the table and shows indentation level versus tree structure level.
Example of Replaceable Parts List Index and equivalent tree structure:
The part number of the item is shown to the right of the description as is the page in the manual where the bill for
that part number starts.
Inside the actual tables, four main headings are used:
Table #-#. ITEM NAME - HARRIS PART NUMBER - this line gives the information that corresponds to the
Replaceable Parts List Index entry;
HARRIS P/N column gives the ten digit Harris part number (usually in ascending order);
DESCRIPTION column gives a 25 character or less description of the part number;
REF. SYMBOLS/EXPLANATIONS column 1) gives the reference designators for the item (i.e., C001, R102,
etc.) that corresponds to the number found in the schematics (C001 in a bill of material is equivalent to C1 on the
schematic) or 2) gives added information or further explanation (i.e., “Used for 208V operation only,” or “Used
for HT 10LS only,” etc.).
Inside the individual tables some standard conventions are used:
A # symbol in front of a component such as #C001 under the REF. SYMBOLS/EXPLANATIONS column means
that this item is used on or with C001 and is not the actual part number for C001.
In the ten digit part numbers, if the last three numbers are 000, the item is a part that Harris has purchased and
has not manufactured or modified. If the last three numbers are other than 000, the item is either manufactured by
Harris or is purchased from a vendor and modified for use in the Harris product.
The first three digits of the ten digit part number tell which family the part number belongs to - for example, all
electrolytic (can) capacitors will be in the same family (524 xxxx 000). If an electrolytic (can) capacitor is found
to have a 9xx xxxx xxx part number (a number outside of the normal family of numbers), it has probably been
modified in some manner at the Harris factory and will therefore show up farther down into the individual parts
list (because each table is normally sorted in ascending order). Most Harris made or modified assemblies will
have 9xx xxxx xxx numbers associated with them.
The term “SEE HIGHER LEVEL BILL” in the description column implies that the reference designated part
number will show up in a bill that is higher in the tree structure. This is often the case for components that may
be frequency determinant or voltage determinant and are called out in a higher level bill structure that is more
customer dependent than the bill at a lower level.

WARNING
ALWAYS DISCONNECT POWER BEFORE OPENING COVERS, DOORS, ENCLO-
SURES, GATES, PANELS OR SHIELDS. ALWAYS USE GROUNDING STICKS AND
SHORT OUT HIGH VOLTAGE POINTS BEFORE SERVICING. NEVER MAKE IN-
TERNAL ADJUSTMENTS, PERFORM MAINTENANCE OR SERVICE WHEN ALONE
OR WHEN FATIGUED.
Do not remove, short-circuit or tamper with interlock switches on access covers, doors, enclosures, gates, panels or shields.
Keep away from live circuits, know your equipment and don’t take chances.
WARNING
IN CASE OF EMERGENCY ENSURE THAT POWER HAS BEEN DISCONNECTED.
WARNING
IF OIL FILLED OR ELECTROLYTIC CAPACITORS ARE UTILIZED IN YOUR
EQUIPMENT, AND IF A LEAK OR BULGE IS APPARENT ON THE CAPACITOR
CASE WHEN THE UNIT IS OPENED FOR SERVICE OR MAINTENANCE, ALLOW
THE UNIT TO COOL DOWN BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO REMOVE THE DEFEC-
TIVE CAPACITOR. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO SERVICE A DEFECTIVE CAPACITOR
WHILE IT IS HOT DUE TO THE POSSIBILITY OF A CASE RUPTURE AND SUB-
SEQUENT INJURY.

FIRST-AID
Personnel engaged in the installation, operation, maintenance or servicing of this equipment are urged to become familiar
with first-aid theory and practices. The following information is not intended to be complete first-aid procedures, it is a
brief and is only to be used as a reference. It is the duty of all personnel using the equipment to be prepared to give
adequate Emergency First Aid and thereby prevent avoidable loss of life.
Treatment of Electrical Burns
1. Extensive burned and broken skin

a. Cover area with clean sheet or cloth. (Cleanest available cloth article.)
b. Do not break blisters, remove tissue, remove adhered particles of clothing, or apply any salve or ointment.
c. Treat victim for shock as required.
d. Arrange transportation to a hospital as quickly as possible.
e. If arms or legs are affected keep them elevated.
NOTE
If medical help will not be available within an hour and the victim is
conscious and not vomiting, give him a weak solution of salt and soda:
1 level teaspoonful of salt and 1/2 level teaspoonful of baking soda to
each quart of water (neither hot or cold). Allow victim to sip slowly
about 4 ounces (a half of glass) over a period of 15 minutes. Discon-
tinue fluid if vomiting occurs. (Do not give alcohol.)
2. Less severe burns - (1st & 2nd degree)

a. Apply cool (not ice cold) compresses using the cleanest available cloth article.
b. Do not break blisters, remove tissue, remove adhered particles of clothing, or apply salve or ointment.
c. Apply clean dry dressing if necessary.
d. Treat victim for shock as required.
e. Arrange transportation to a hospital as quickly as possible.
f. If arms or legs are affected keep them elevated.

Quest™ Series
100, 250, 500 &
1000 Watt
FM Transmitters
The Harris Quest™ Series is a cost-effective VHF/FM broadcast transmitter line using the
latest advances in RF technology.
The microprocessor-based controller provides comprehensive monitoring and control
functions not found in other transmitters in this power range. Front panel controls
include: PA on/off, power raise/lower, and remote/local control mode selection. A
convenient LCD display indicates forward power, reflected power, power amp voltage
and current. Front panel and remote status of faults and on/off status are provided. The
PA module is from the Harris PT solid-state FM transmitter which has a proven track
record for excellent reliability and performance. The Quest Series uses a transient
protected, non-switching, self-regulating power supply, coupled with automatic power
control, providing stable RF output power. The Quest Series transmitters include an
integrated high quality analog exciter. The Quest Series can also be configured with the
DIGIT®CD exciter providing CD quality audio performance in a low power FM
transmitter.
