8l6R
SECTION 1 - GENERAL INFORMATION
1-1. INTRODUCTION
* The 8l6R-2A, 8l6R-3, and 8l6R-4 transmitter operates in the

* FM broadcast range (88-l08MHz) with an RF output power of 20kW,
* 25kW, or 27.5kW watts. Reduced power is available by tap changes
of the plate and screen transformer to meet customer requirements.
The FM Transmitter, 8l6R provides monaural programming or other
optional programming as customer requires. When the exciter is
inputed with optional stereo generator and SCA generator, the
transmitter provides continuous monaural, stereophonic, and SCA
(subsidiary communication authorization) frequency-modulated programs.
* This Instruction manual covers all three types of transmitters with
* the differences denoted where applicable.
1-2. FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The transmitter consists of an exciter, a driver, and power

amplifier. The output of the exciter is applied to the driver.
The driver stage consists of two 4Cx250B tubes operated class C.
The input to the driver is amplified to approximately 400 watts
and applied to the power amplifier that contains one 4CX15000A
tube operated class C. The input to the power amplifier is amplified
and applied to a 50-ohm unbalanced load. Power control circuits
monitor the rf output power level. When a change in output power
is detected, these circuits change the plate voltage to compensate.
Other control circuits within the transmitter monitor reflected
power, forward power, operating voltage, air pressure and exhaust
air temperature within the power amplifier section. They protect
the transmitter by removing power when excessive currents, VSWR,
loss of air pressure, or excessive air exhaust temperature occur.
1-3. PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
The transmitter is housed in a basic unistrut cabinet that con-

* tains all transmitter components. Refer to figure 1-1. The trans-
mitter contains three sections. The section on the left in figure
1-1 contains the power amplifier and driver circuits. The center
section houses the control panel, exciter, and control circuits.
The section on the right contains the power supplies, the circuit
breaker, and fuse panel.

2.1 Unpacking and Inspecting

2·.1.1 Domestic Shipments
a. The uncrated transmitter is shipped on a shipping skid. The transmitter is
not attached to the skid. Inspect for loose screws and fasteners. Ensure
that all controls operate freely. Examine the cabinet for dents or
scratches. Ensure that cable and wiring connections are tight and situated
clear of each other and the chassis.
b. If any received item is freight damaged, the customer should accept the
equipment, note the damage on the shipping documents and immediately file a
freight claim. All boxes and packing material should be retained for the
. freight inspector. Refusal to accept delivery of damaged equipment removes
the evidence and makes freight-damage reimbursement complicated or impossible.
2.1.2 Foreign Shipments
a. The transmitter is shipped in a skid-type crate with unpacking instructions
stenciled on the side. Heavy iron components are crated separately, bolted
down to a 2-inch solid base. Uncrate the transmitter carefully to avoid
damage. Inspect for loose screws and fasteners. Ensure that all controls
operate freely. Examine the cabinet for dents or scratches. Ensure that
cable and wiring connections are tight and situated clear of each other and
the chassis.
b. File any damage claims properly with the transportation company. Retain all
packing material if a claim is filed.
2.2 Assembly
a. Plan the placement of the transmitter and its external wlrlng carefully
before beginning installation. (refer to figure 2-1 and paragraph 2-4.)
Four knockout holes are located on the top of the transmitter section that
contains the power supplies. The holes accommodate cabling for 3-phase
input voltage, audio input signal, and the remote control unit. A 2-inch
conduit entry is also provided in the floor of the power supply section.
b. If optional modulation and frequency monitoring equipment is used, remove
the center rear panel before positioning the transmitter. Determine the
length of cable needed to connect the transmitter sample output to the
monitoring equipment. Once the length is determined, connect the cable to
the monitor jacks, and run the cable out of the transmitter through a pre-
viously unused knockout hole.
* c. If the 802A exciter was not facto:ry installed, IrOtmt it in the area
provided in the transmitter center section. Connect an rf cable from
exciter output to the driver input. Attach the override voltage lead from
A4TBl-16 to A19E6 and the mono/stereo leads from XA12-39 to A4TBl-14 and
XA12-40 to A4TBl-13. Connect the 117-volt ac power cable from the exciter
to connector J3 (figure 2-1). Refer to the 510R-l exciter instruction book
for installation of audio input cables. Replace the rear cover and place
the transmitter in its permanent location.
d. Connect primary power according to instructions supplied in paragraph 2.3.1
CHl\NGE 13 2-1
WARNING: DISCONNECT PRIMARY POWER SOURCE BEFORE SERVICING.
{j.lbK
tnsta1 htt~n
e. Transformers T1 and T2, fi lters Ll and L2, and fi lter capac itor C3 may have
been removed to facilitate shipping. Install these components if they were
shipped separately.
f. Check the transformer taps for proper connection. Refer to paragraph 2.3.2
and table 2.1.
g. If output tube 4CX15000A was removed for shipping, install it using the pro-
cedure outlined in paragraph 5.7.1.
h. If a remote control panel is used, run the external wiring from the remote
unit into the transmitter and connect it to TB4 (figure 2-1). Also install
the appropriate optional remote control relay cards, A2A3 and A2Al.
i. Connect the customer-supplied 50-ohm transmission line to the rf output
connector mounted on top of the transmitter cabinet.
ICAUTION I
DAMAGE WILL RESULT FROM AN IMPROPER IMPEDANCE MATCH BETWEEN THE TRANSMITTER
AND THE TRANSMISSION LINE. ENSURE THAT THE TRM~SMISSION LINE AND ANTENNA
PRESENT A 50-OI:IM IMPEDANCE AND A VSWR NOT GREATER THAN 2: I TO THE TRANS-
MITTER AT THE OPERATING FREQUENCY.
2.3 Primary Power
2.3.1 General
The transmitter requires a 200 to 250 volt ±5%, 3-phase, 60-Hz ac power source
(closed delta or 208V wye). A 200 amp fused disconnect should~e provided with
* 150 amp fuses and not more than 100 feet of No. 1/0 AWG wiring to the transmitter.
AC line transient suppressors are suggested for the primary lines. For recommen-
dation of installation, call Broadcast Products Field Service.
2.3.2 Transformer Connection
The broad range of allowable voltage sources (200 to 250 volts) is made possible
by the availability of different tap connections of power transformers Tl, T2, T3,
and T4 and power supply transformers PS1Tl and PS2Tl. Table 2-1 shows the details
of the proper primary line connections for various line voltages.
NOTE
The initial connections on transformers T1 andJ2 may be changed after
tuning to reduce am noise a.l to maintain authorized station maximum
power output. (See paragraph 5.6.7.6) T1 connections are selected to
provide a power output approximately 10 percent above the authorized
station rating. T3 connections are selected to give 1800 to 2000
volts of driver voltage at the authorized station output.
Two connections are made at transformer T4. One connection is made at Terminal
No. 1 regardless of the source voltage. The second wire is connected to corre--
spond with the power source voltage and is connected to instructions supplied in
table 2-1.

principles of operation
4.1 General
The FM Transmitter, 816R, operates in the 88- to '108-MHz range at a maximu~
*, rated RF output. A CEMC 802A solid-state fro wideband exciter provides exc~tation.
The transrnitter is equipped with rronitoring circuits that check and correct changes
in power output and overload conditions. A control panel provides complete trans-
mitter rretering and tuning controls. Refer to the overall schematic diagrams in
Section 7 for detailed circuit infonnation.
4.2 Block Diagram Discussion

Refer to figure 4-1. A 10-dBm input siqna1 (monaural, stereo, or SCA) modulates the
exciter. The output of the exciter is 0-50 watts, which is applied to the
* driver stage. The output of the driver is applied to the power amplifier. The
power amplifier output is applied via a low-pass filter and directional coupler to
a 50-ohm antenna.
* A OC sarrple of the fo:rward power_ fr~ thec;li:r~9ti9nal coupler (Al6) is rronitored by-
the auto power control circuit. If a change in output lX'\'ler is detected, a signal
* is sent to the power control unit that increases or decreases the plate and screen
power supply input voltage to c::orrpensate. A sample of the reflected power is also
rronitored by the power control circuits. If an excessive arrount of reflected pav1er
* is detected, the control circuits rerrove plate voltage from the power amplifier.
The 28-volt power supply provides power for the control circuits.
4.3 RF Circuits
4.3.1 Exciter
* Refer to the 802A instruction manual, principles of operation.
4.3.2 RF Driver
The exciter output is applied to the driver stage that consists of two 4CX250B
tetrodes in parallel (A11V1 and A11V2). The stage operates class C with adjustable
cathode bias provided by R40 and R44 and grid leak bias by R50. The driver grid
swamping resistor, R57, provides wide bandwidth and minimized p1ate-to-grid feedback.
* The input circuit is a tuned transmission line with resistance loading. Neutralization
capacitor eN is a short piece of wire with a paddle on the end physically placed in
parallel with the anodes of VI and V2. The location of the paddle provides suffi--
cient capacitance to neutralize the stage. A sample of the screen current fl()ti~s
I through a transfonrer winding connected across pins 9 and 12 inside Hall-effect
probe A22Z5 for screen current rronitoring. Using the principle of the Hall effect,
the stationary magnetic field around the transfonrer produces a current through th.e

* is adjusted to calibrate the control panel meter flows through pins 1 and 2. A22Z5
output (pins 1 and 2) is connected to Driver Screen meter calibration resistor
l\22R73.
4.3.3 RF Power Amplifier
The driver output is coupled through C57A and C57B capacitors to the grid of the
* power arrplifier tube V3. A tuned circuit canposed of l\21L7 and Al8C37 provides
impedance matching. Loading of the driver arrplifier is accomplished by adjusting
A21L7 (tuning) and A21L8 (loading). Inductor A21L8 is used to cancel a portion
of the input capacity. Inductor Al8Ll4 and the distributed capacity of Al8R75
are strapped t.o the cavity wall, fonning a suppressor that daItPens the higher
order cavity resonances that can occur near the third harm:mic of the output
frequency. Cathode tuning (or peaking) capacitor A21C39 i.rrproves the bypass
action at the operating frequency. Resistors A21R76 and A21R77 broaden the
frequency response and minimize synchronous arrplitude nodulation ·products.
Inductors AlIL4 and A2lL5 are the driver plate and the pa grid chokes and l\~8I.Nl
fU1d Al8I.N2 provide neutralization.
4-2 Q-T..ANGE 13
816R
The power amplifier is a plate-tuned 4CX15000A that is operated class C. The tube
screen is grounded and the cathode is placed -750 volts below ground. A fixed bias
from the pa bias power supply is applied to the control grid through A22TB8-19!
A22R37! and A22TB8-20. When an input signal is present! grid current flows and de-
ve10ps gri d 1eak bi as across A18R35! A18R36 an'd A18R80. The increased negati ve
potential on the grid causes the diode in the pa bias supply to reverse bias! pre-
venting grid current flow through the supply. Hall-effect probe A22Z4 monitors the
amount of grid current for control panel metering.
The power amplifier plate circuit is coarse tuned from 88 to 108 MHz by resonating
an adjustable coaxial resonator. (See figure 4-2.) The resonator is the area be-
tween the tube shelf and the sliding shorting plane. Two motor-driven capacitors
permit more precise tuning (A18C51) and loading (A18C50). RAISE/LOWER switches S3
(PA TUNING) and S4 (PA LOADING) on control panel A1 control capacitor drive motors.

gating cards to control SCR's for PA Plate HV supply.
4.4 Power Supplies and Power Control Circuits
4.4.1 General
* There are five separate power supplies in the transmitter. Three of the five, the
plate, screen and bias power supplies, provide voltage to the power amplifier. 'Ihe
~rerraining, the driver poYJer supply, furnishes voltage to the driver stage and
the 28-vo1t dc power supply, provides power to the control circuits.
4.4.2 28-Volt DC Power Supply PSl
The 28-volt dc supply receives its 3-phase 60-Hz input from the unregulated line
voltage. The input is applied through circuit breaker A6CBl and stepdown transfor-
mer Tl to 3-phase bridge rectifier assembly CR1. The 28-volt dc output of the bridge
is filtered by the RC circuits and applied to the control circuits.

4.4.3 PA Bias Power Supply PS2

The pa bias power supply provides the power amplifier with fixed grid bias that holds
the tube near cutoff when no signal is pres~nt on the grid. Single-phase primary
power is applied through contactor A19Kl and step-up transformer Tl to a bridge
rectifier network. An L-section filter is formed by Ll and C2.
The power supply output is applied to the grid of the power amplifier th~ou~h CR5.,
* CR5 blocks grid current flow through the supply when the grid leak bias
exceeds the fixed bias. A sample of the bias voltage is applied throuqh
R3 to front panel meter AIMI for monitoring.
4.4.4 PA Plate Power Supply
The pa plate power supply provides plate voltage to the power amplifier. Primary
components of the supply are transformer Tl, 3- phase bridge rectifier assembly Zl,
filter choke Ll, and filter capacitor C3. A meter multiplier board, A15, samples
plate voltage and allows constant monitoring. Input power to Tl is controlled by
scr (silicon-controlled rectifier) power control unit A9. This unit, connected as
a closed loop regulator, maintains constant power output to offset conditions of
varying input power.
4.4.5 Power Control Unit A9
* Power control unit A9 regulates the 3-phase ac power input to the pa plate, the pa
screen, and the driver power supplies through" transformers Tl, T2, and T3 respecti-
vely. Unit A9 consists of two major component assemblies-scr assembly A9Z1 and
firing control unit A9AR1. Scr assembly A9Z1 has three scr pairs; one pair in
series with each primary winding of the 3-phase power transformers. Each pair is
connected within the delta circuit of the transformer primaries. Scr firing control
unit A9ARl consists of three control cards. Each control card controls the firing
(turn-on) point of one scr pair.
* A comron d.c. control signal from power control regulator A8 is fed simultaneously
to each control card. 'iliis control signal governs the firing of the scr pairs. that
regulate the input power applied to the power supplies. Relay A9~K1 deenergJ.zes
on PLATE OFF, disabling the three scr gate driving cards. (Bee fJ.gure 4-4).
4.4.6 Power Control Regulator A8

* Power control regulator AS provides the necessary control signals to o~ate power
SCR control unit A9. A8 supplies a soft-start pa plate supply turn-on sJ.gnal, a nega-
tive voltage for manual power control, and amplifier-mixer functions for autonatic
power control.
When the PLATE ON switch is pressed, +28 volts is supplied to XA8-27. The +28 volts
* activates transistor A8Ql to turn on relay K12. P~lay A19K12 supplies 3-phase ac con-
trol power to A9AR1. An RC time delay circuit formed by A8R2 and A8Cl maintains
K12 closed for a short interval after the PLATE OFF switch is pressed. Transistors
A8Q2, Q3, and Q4, also energized by the +28 volts, provide the dc turn-on signal to
unit A9AR1. On power control regulator A8, R8, R9, and C2 modify this signal to
soft-start the high-voltage pa plate power supply. Zener regulator A8VR2provides
a -10- volt voltage to MANUAL power adjust resistor A20R43.

Transistors A8Q5 and A8Q4 amplify the automatic control signal from A3 and apply
the signal to A9AR1TB2-l when the MANUAL/AUTOMATIC switch is in AUTOMATIC. A8e5
and A8R5 phase-compensate the power control servo loop.
4.4.7 PA Screen Power Supply
The 3-phase regulated voltage from the power control unit is applied through trans-
former T2 to a silicon 3-phase full-wave bridge assembly, Z2, in the pa screen power
supply. The output of Z2 is filtered and applied to the cathode circuit of the
power amplifier at the secondary center tap of filament transformer A18T5. The pa
screen power supply also provides -28 volts, obtained from the junction of resistors
A17R4 and A17R18, for manual power control.
4.4.8 Driver Power Supply
The driver power supply provides plate and screen voltages for the driver stage.
The 3-phase ac power for the primary of T3 is supplied by power control A9. The
output of T3 is applied to a silicon 3-phase full-wave bridge assembly, Z3. The
output of the rectifier bridge is filtered and applied to the driver plate circuit.
The driver screen voltage, developed at the junction of A17R34 and A17R25 is applied
* through a rretering resistor A22R1 to the driver screen circuit. Gaseous prot~ctor
Al7E2B shorts excessive transient voltages to ground. Driver plate and screen
rretering sarrples are obtained fran Al4R32 and Al7R3 respectively.
4.4.9 Filament Voltage Regulator A5

* t'1hen the Filament Regulator is in autanatic node, the filament voltage regulator
detects and compensates for sustained fluctuations in the input ac voltage. The
fluctuations are detected by a balanced bridge circuit, which in conjunction with a
rotor control circuit, adjusts the settinq of variable transformer Al9A2Tl. The .
output voltage of the varJ.able transfonrer (lU9A2Tl) is then applied to the pr:ilnary
lof the Driver (AllT6) and PA (Al8TS) Filament Transfonner'-
The variable transfonrer output is also applied to the pr:ilnary of detector circuit
transforrrer ~20T8. Secondary (1) of this transfonrer is applied to a resistive
bridge circuit consisting of lamps ~5DSl, ASDS2, ASR1 and A5R2 and filament voltage
* adjust potentiorreter A5R3. vJhi.le observing PA filament rreter, ASR3 can be adjusted.
for the required filament voltage.
* When the input primary ac voltage increases, the voltage dropped across the bridge
circuit increases, which causes nore current to flow through the ca:rp:ments located
in the legs of the bridge circuit. The increased current flov] causes the filarrent
resistance of A5DSI and ASDS2 to increase. The increased resistance of the
filaments unbalances the bridge circuit and applies an ac signal, in phase with the
ac voltage dropped across the bridge circuit, to the junction of ASCI and ASR17.
From ASCI and ASR17, the ac signal is coupled to the base of transistor ASQl.
Transistor ASQl arrplifies and phase shifts the ac signal 180 0 • Fran ASQl, the
inverted ac signal is routed through capacitor ~5C3 to the gate circuits of
controlled rectifiers ASQ2 and ASQ3.
Another sample of the input ac voltage is applied from secondary (2) of A20T8 through
diodes A5CRl and A5CR2 to RAISE relay A5Kl and LOWER relay A5K2, respectively. Be-

cause of A5CR1 and A5CR2, only positive half cycles of the ac voltage are applied
to A5K1 and A5K2. As the input ac voltage increases, positive half cycles are
connected through A5K2 to the cathode of A5Q3. The in-phase ac signal present at
the gate of A5Q3 allows A5Q3 to conduct, energizing A5K2. Capacitor A5C6 discharges
during negative half cycles keeping A5K2 energized. The ac signal present at the
gate of A5Q2 is out of phase with the half cycles connected through A5K1 to the
cathode of A5Q2, preventing A5Q2 from conducting. This action prevents A5K1 from
energizing.
Operation of the detector circuit under low input ac voltage condtions is similar
to the operation during high-voltage conditions, with the following exceptions.
The sample ac voltage dropped across the resistive bridge circuit is 180 out of ~
0
phase with the ac signal at the junction of A5C1 and A5R17. The out-of-phase ac
signal prevents A5Q3 from conducting, but allows A5Q2 to conduct. This action en-
ergizes A5K1, but not A5K2.
If A5DSl or A5DS2burns nut~ a large ac signal will appear at the base of A5Q1. As
a result, the drive motor would run to either end stop, trying to compensate for an
erroneous indication of a very high or low ac filament voltage. To prevent this
type nf malfunction, a protective circuit is connected to the output of A5Q1. When
a 1argeac signal is applied to the base of A5Q1, the same acsigna1 is applied to
the protective circuit which consists of voltage divider A5R17 and A5R16 and con-
trolled rectifier A5Q4. From the junction of A5R17 and A5R16, the ac signal is
connected to the gate of A5Q4 causing it to conduct. When A5Q4 conducts, the out-
put of A5Q1 is shunted to ground preventing A5Kl or A5K2 from energizing. This
action prevents the drive motor from operating.
The motor control circuits which operate to lower or raise the ac filament voltage
are simi1iar; therefore, only the raise control circuit is discussed in detail.
Under low ac filament conditions, raise relay A5Kl energizes, connecting +28 volts
dc through contacts 8 and 9 to a time-delay circuit, consisting of resistor A5R19
capacitors A5C8 and A5C9. Relay A5Kl must remain energized for 1.5 seconds before
the time-delay circuit allows A5K3 to energize. The time delay assures that only
sustained fluctuations of the ac filament voltage will allow the drive motor to op-
erate. After 1.5 seconds, A5K3 energizes, applying 115 vac through contacts 11 and
12 and limit switches A9A2S1 to variac drive motor A19A2B1.
* The variac drive rotor operates , driving the rotor on vc;rriab~e transforrrer Al9A2Tl
until the input ac voltage is raised to a value to provlde fllarnent voltage deter-
mined by AS. .
4.4.10 Filament Voltage Distribution

The filament voltage distribution is shown in figure 4-5. Filament voltage regula-
tor A5 maintains a constant rms voltage on the filaments as discussed in paragraph
4.4.9.
4.5 Primary Power Distribution Control and Overload Circuits
4.5.1 Primary Power Distribution
The 60-Hz, 3-phase primary power is distributed to the various circuits of the trans-
* mitter via circuit breaker-sand fuses. mounted on circuit breaker panel A6 (figure 4-6).
4-10 Q-IANGE 13
816R
PA PLATE PavER SUPPLY circuit breaker A6CB5 is connected inside the delta of plate
* transfonrer Tl. It also serves to interrupt pr:ilna:ry power to the PA screen trans-
fonrer T2 and driver plate transfonrer T3 through additional associated circuit
breakers, A6CB4 (PA SCREEN SUPPLY) and A6CB3 (DRIVER PCltJER SUPPLY) •
AC line voltage metering is provided by AC meter panel A25. In addition to the
three phase-to-phase voltages, a fourth position of A25S1 is used to nonitor PA
* filament voltage.
BLOWERS circuit breaker, A6CB2, controls application of primary power to cavity
blower Bl through filament-on relay A19K2 and FAN fuses A6F7, F9, and F12. Relay
* Al9K2 is energized when the filaments switch (SlO) is turned on.
Application of primary power to the filament circuits, the exciter, the pa bias pow-
er supply, and the pa tuning and loading motors is relay controlled. Filament-on
relay A19Kl and blower-on relay A19K2 control application of power to the regulated
filament circuit through auto-transformer A19A2Tl. Relay A19Kl also controls app-
* lication of power to 802A exciter A4, to pa bias power supply PS2, and to the pa
tuning and loading motors (B2 and B3 respectively). Power to the exciter and the
motors is through isolation transformer T4. Time-totalizing meter A6Ml is placed
across the load side of filament on relay A19Kl.
The filament, exciter, and pa bias supply input power circuits are protected by
associated fuses.
4.5.2 Transmitter Turn-on
The transmitter is energized by pressing FILAMENT ON switch SlO in the Al control
panel (figure 4-7). Relay A19K2 is energized and power is applied to the blower
motors. After sufficient air pressure is created in the power amplifier cabinet,
air switch A18S1 is closed and relay A19Kl is energized.
After the 30-second delay, relay A19K4 is energized. The PLATE ON switch is press-
ed and relay A19K3 is energized and +28 volts is supplied to the base of transistor
A8Q3. This turns on control amplifier A9AR1, which applies input voltage to the
plate, screen, and driver power supplies.
* . The transmitter nay also be energized by pressing the PU.TE ON svlitch which
latches Al9K3 and energizes Al9K2 through contacts 8 and 5. By pressing a single
switch (PlATE ON) will enable the transmitter to go through the above sequence
of Blower Filarrent, TiIre Delay and Plate On.
4.5.3 Exciter Power Control Override

* 1m output override voltage is supplied to the 802A exciter when the plate voltage
is turned off. This mutes the output of the exciter while the pa plates are off
(figure 4-7). The voltage is applied from the 28-volt power supply through
contacts 3 and 9 of relay Al9K4 to the 802A exciter power supply regulator.

4.5.4 Fwd/Refl Calibrate and Auto Power Control Unit A3

The vswr calibrate and auto power control unit, A3, monitors the forward and re-
flected power received from directional coupler A16. A forward power sample is
applied through Rl to pin 3 of operational amplifier Ul. The output on pin 6 of
Ul is applied to the control panel RF WATTMETER through FWD CAL potentiometer R14
and to A17TB4-34 for remote monitoring.
Operational amplifier U3 is connected as an integrator. Feedback is supplied by
the parallel combination of capacitor Cl and resistor R10. During automatic
power operation, the output of U3 is connected to' power control A9 through relay
A12Kl and power control regulator A8. PWR CNTRL ADJ potentiometer R7 in the input
of U3 increases or decreases the transmitter output power during automatic power
operation by increasing or decreasing the output of U3.
A reflected power sample is applied to pin 3 of U2 through R17. The output on
pin 6 of U2 is applied to the control panel RF WATTMETER through REFL CAL
potentiometer R24 and to A17TB4-33 for remote monitoring. The output of U2 is
also applied to the gate of A7Q8. When excessive reflected power exists and
switch A3S1 is closed, U2 produces an output that triggers scr A7Q8. Scr A7Q8
conducts and energizes relay A22K9 which removes power from the transmitter.
(See paragraph 4.5.5)
FWD OFFSET potentiometer R25 and REFL OFFSET potentiometer R26 are adjusted for
zero output at TPl and TP2 respectively when no input exists at pin 3 of the
related amplifier.
REFL ADJ potentiometer R27 and TEST switch 82 are used to test the VSWR protect
circuit operation during maintenance operation. By pressing the push TEST switch
82, a simulated reflected power sample is applied to pin 3 of U2. With A1M4
* calibrated for 10% of forward power output full scale in the REFIECIED position,
R27 is adjusted to the desired reflected power trip level. Then VS£ti!R PRar CAL
potenticrneter R20 is adjusted to trip at this level.
4.5.5 Overload Protection

Relays A22K6, A22K7, A22K8, and A22K9 are adjusted to energize and remove power
from the transmitter when an overload occurs in the plate, screen, or driver
supply or when the vswr exceeds a preset level. Screen current through A14R15
produces a voltage that is applied to relay A22K7 through A22R65. Plate current
through A14R16 produces a voltage that is applied to relay A22K6 through A22R66.
Driver current through A17R33 produces a voltage that is applied to relay A22K8
through A22R60. When scr A7Q8 is gated on, a ground is applied and A22K9 is
energized. Each relay is adjusted to trip at a factory preset current level.
The relay contacts are in series with plate control relay A19K3. If an overload
occurs, the corresponding relay trips and de-energizes A19K3, removing plate
power from the transmitter.
CHANGE 13 4-15
816R
4.5.6 Overload and Recycle Board A7

Overload and recycle board A7 contains circuits that provide overload indication
and memory, automatic power on recycling and filament control circuit interlock
status.
When an overload occurs in the pa plate pa screen, vswr, or driver plate, a 28-
volt pulse is supplied to the appropriate scr (Q4 through Q7). The scr latches
and lights its associated LED indicator (CR6 through CR9) to indicate which over-
load has occurred. All indicators that have been lighted by an overload function
remain lighted until FAULT RESET switch A1S11 on the main control panel is pressed.
Plate voltage is removed by overload relays A22K6, A22K7, A22K8 or A22K9. The
28-vo1t pulse that triggers the scr is simultaneously routed to the recycle circuit
via diode CR10, CR11, CR12 or CR13 to be used to automatically restart the
transmitter.
The automatic recycle circuit provides a timed~ automatic restart pulse up to four
times in a 30-second period. The supplied card is connected so only two restart
pulses will occur in a 30-second period; but may be reconnected to allow four
restart pulses in a 30-second period. Conversion from the 2-pu1se to the 4-pu1se
production may be accomplished by removing the jumper between terminals A and B on
the card and replacing it between A and C.
The auto recycle begins when the 28-vo1t pulse is applied to the base of transistor
Q1 causing it to conduct. The output of Q1 is fed to timers U1 and U4. Timer U1
provides a O.5-second delay, then triggers timer U2 which generates a O.5-second
output pulse. This pulse is fed through gate U3A to inverter Q3 which causes Q9
to conduct and charge capacitor C16. The charging current of C16 momentarily
energizes K1 which closes the PLATE ON circuit through S2. The charging current
of C16 also flows through RECYCLE PULSE indicator CR5 giving an indication of the
recycle circuit operation.
Gate U3D conducts the output pulse from timer Ul to counter U5. Counter U5 counts
the number of recycle pulses and provides a logic 1 output at terminal C when four
pulses have been received. Depending on which terminal has been strapped to
terminal A, two or four recycle attempts in a 30-second period will close gates
U3A, U3B, U3C, and U3D preventing any further attempts by the card to restart the
transmitter. RECYCLE LOCKOUT indicator CR3 will light to indicate this condition.
When the 30-second period of time U4 has elapsed, a pulse is generated, inverted
*" by Q2, and applied to U5 to reset it to zero. This clears the memory and allows
another sequence to begin. If the maximum count of two or four pulses has not
been received in the 30-second period, the timer will also reset the counter
automatically.
AUTORECYCLE switch S2 may be used to disable the auto recycle card when desired.
This is usually done during tune-up or maintenance procedures. RECYCLE TEST
switch Sl may be used to test the automatic recycle circuit during maintenance
procedures by simulating an overload pulse at the input to the recycle circuit.
Filament control circuit interlock status indicators provide a visual indication
of the condition of the filament protection circuit. The PHASE LOSS indicator
C14 is lighted when phase monitor A19K5 provides a 28-volt signal indicating all
three primary power phases are present, balanced, not too low and of the proper
4-16
8l6R
sequence. CARD CAGE INTLK indicator CR15 is lighted when the card cage cover is in
place. AIR INTLK indicator CR16 is lighted when sufficient cooling air to the pa
tube is flowing. TEMP INTLK indicator CR17 is lighted when the pa tube exhaust air
temperature is below 240 0 F +lOOY
A The switch will reclose at 200 0 F temperature-
operating range of the PA tube. The READY indicator is lighted when the 30-
second filament warm-up time has expired and the transmitter is ready for the
application of plate voltage. These indicators are in series and in sequence
from top to bottom as they are connected in the circuit. Therefore, an inter-
lock must be satisfied before its status indicator will light or any indicator
that follows it will light.
4.5.7 Power Failure Recycle Board A19A1

In the event of momentary loss of primary power, the power failure recycle circuit
will restore the transmitter to operational status. Capacitor C3 maintains
current flow through time delay relay A19K4 keeping the time delay circuit active
for short term power outages and a separate circuit provides a momentary ground
at pin 10 when power is restored. The momentary ground is applied to A7C16 and
the charging current of A7C16 pulls relay A7K4 in and initiates the power on
command.
4.5.8 Latching Relay and Status Indicator Board A12

The latching relays permit local or remote selection of manual or automatic power
control and local or remote selection of stereo or monaural excitation.
The latching relays are connected to the remote control panel through A17TB4
(figure 4-8). A +28-vo1t signal applied by local control switch A1S5 or through
remote control interface terminal board A17TB4 will latch relay Kl in one of two
stable states. AUTO PWR CONTROL indicator CR17 indicates automatic power control
is selected and MAN PWR CONTROL indicator CR18 indicates manual power control is
selected. A +28-volt signal applied through remote control interface terminal
board A17TB4 will latch relay K2 in one of two stable states. STEREO indicator
CR19 indicates the stereo mode and MONO indicator CR20 indicates selection of the
mono mode.
Visual indication of TRANSMITTER CONTROL REMOTE/LOCAL switch A20Sl0 is given by
status indicators CR15 and CR16. CR15 lights when local control is selected and
CR16 lights when remote control is selected.
Plate control circuit interlock status indicators are provided on the A12 board.
RMT PLT OFF INTLK indicator CR5 is lighted when optional remote relay A2A1K4 is
de-energized. (If optional remote relays are not used, this relay will be jumpered
and CR5 will always be lighted.) PA GRID DOOR INTLK indicator CR6is lighted when
the pa grid compartment door is closed. PA DOOR INTLK indicator CR7 is lighted when
the pa plate compartment door is closed. L REAR PNL INTLK indicator CR8, CREAR PNL
INTLK indicator CR9, R REAR PNL INTLK indicator CR10, C FR PNL INTLK indicator CR11
and R FR PNL INTLK indicator CR12 are panel interlock status indicators that are

FAILSAFE INTLK indicator CR14 is lighted when optional remote relay A2A1Kl is
energized. (If optional remote relays are not used, LOCAL/REMOTE switch A20S10
will bypass this interlock in the LOCAL position.) Indicators CR5 through CR14
are in series and in sequence from top to bottom as they are connected in the
circuit. Therefore, an interlock must be satisfied before its status indicator
will light or any that follow it will light.
4.5.9 Power Control Relays A2A3

Unit A2A3 provides remote manual power lower and raise control (figure 4-9). When
power is decreased at the remote control panel, relay A2A3K2 is energized and
closed contacts 7 and 9 provide 115 VAC to motor A20B5 which adjusts the resistance
of A20R43 to decrease the transmitter power output. When the power is increased at
the remote control panel, relay A2A3K3 is energized and closed contacts 7 and 9
provide 115 VAC to motor A20B5 which adjusts the resistance of A20R43 to increase
the transmitter power output.
4.5.10 Remote Relays A2A1

Remote relays unit A2Al parallels the front panel control operations. All relays
and switches are momentary in operation. Failsafe relay A2K1 is energized only
when +28-volts is present in the control circuit. If +28-vo1ts is lost, the relay
deenergizes and removes power from the transmitter.

5.1 General
The transmitter is carefully inspected and adjusted at the factory to reduce main-
tenance to a minimum. To ensure peak performance, adhere to a regular schedule of
pertodtc checks and maintenance procedures. Refer to the parts list, section 6, for
component location in the transmitter.
Ir""""W-A-RN-I-NG""'1
HIGH VOLTAGES ARE EXPOSED WHEN CABINET DOORS OR ACCESS PANELS ARE OPENED.
DEATH ON CONTACT MAY OCCUR IF YOU FAIL TO OBSERVE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS. WHEN
WORKING INSIDE THE EQUIPMENT, BE SURE THAT ALL CIRCUIT BREAKERS ARE OFF AND
THAT PRIMARY POWER IS DISABLED AT THE WALL DISCONNECT OR CIRCUIT BREAKER UN~
LESS OTHERWISE DIRECTED. ALWAYS SHORT ALL HIGH-VOLTAGE TERMINALS TO GROUND
WITH THE GROUNDING STICK PROVIDED.
5.2 Cleaning
Clean the transmitter when dust accumulation occurs anywhere inside the equipment.
A solvent composed of 25 percent methylene chloride, 5 percent perchloroethylene,
and 70 percent dry cleaning fluid may be used as a cleaning material.
5.2.1 General Cleaning Procedures
a. Remove dust from chassis, panels, and components with a soft-bristled brush.
b. Remove foreign matter from flat surfaces and accessible areas with a lintless
cloth moistened with solvent. Dry with a clean, dry, lintless cloth.
c. Wash switch and relay contacts with relay contact cleaner and less accessible
areas with solvent lightly applied with a small soft-bristled brush.
5.2.2 Air Filter
The air filter, on the816R-3 transmitter, should be cleaned whenever a perceptible
. quantity of dust and dirt accumulates on the filter element. Remove and clean the
filter as follows:
a. Remove the cross-wire brace that holds the filter in place.
b. Remove the filter.
c. Use a vacuum cleaner to remove heavy dust accumulation from the filter.
d. Blow a stream of air through the filter in a direction opposite to normal airflow.
5-1
816R
rna l'ntenance
e. Wash the filter in a solution of hot water and detergent.

f. Replace the filter when dry.
5.2.3 Tube Cleaning
The power amplifier and driver tubes should be cleaned when a visab1e quantity of
dust accumulates on the cooJing fins of the tubes. Carefully remove the tubes from
their sockets and clean each with a dry, oil-free jet of air.
5.3 Inspection
Inspect the transmitter at least once a week. Check all metal parts for corrosion
and general deterioration. Examine wiring and components for signs of overheating.
Ensure that all controls are operating smoothly. Inspect all connections and tight-
en any nuts, screws, or bolts found loose. Examine the blower and cabinet fans for
normal operation.
5.4 Lubrication
The tuning and loading motor and the manual power increase/decrease motor are sea1-
* ed and do not require lubrication. The cabinet inlet fan rrotor (B4) and the pa
cavity blo~r rrotor (Bl) should be lubricated with SAE 10 oil as required.
5.5 Troubleshooting
If the transmitter fails to operate properly, check each circuit in the order that
it is made operative. Use the simplified schematics in section 4 and the overall
schematic in section 7 when needed. Normal control panel meter readings are pro-
vided in table 3-4 and an efficiency vs frequency graph is provided in figure 5-4.
5.5.1 Access Panel Interlock Switch
The access panel interlock switches must be blocked open to perform certain adjust-
ment procedures. To block the panel switch open, push in on the plunger and insert
two insulated blocks between the swith contactors. Remove the insulated blocks be-
fore replacing the panel.
5.5.2 Test Equipment
Table 5-1 lists the test equipment necessary to maintain the transmitter.
5.6 Adjustments
All transmitters are factory adjusted and pretuned to specific customer requirements.
No adjustments are required by the customer unless a broken part is replaced, a
specific assembly does not display meter readings within allowable tolerances, or
the transmitter is operated at a frequency or power output different from the fre-
quency or power output specified in the production test data supplied with the trans-
mitter.

I NOTE
Because of the relatively high output capacity of the 4CX15000A and the
resulting low cavity inductance, no plate current dip will be noted at
highter power levels. Tuning and loading should be adjusted in steps for
maximum output power.
o. Press the PLATE OFF and FILAMENT OFF switches on control panel A1.
p. Open the pa cavity door and ensure that plate tuning capacitor A18C50 is
approximately halfway between its limits.

u. Using an insulated screwdriver, adjust PA BIAS ADJ resistor A18R35 for

proper output currents. The PA grid drive level determines the amount of
bias required, and with higher drive levels an increase in bias results in
greater amplifier efficiency. Compare the efficiency with the efficiency
graphs, figure 5-4 and figure 5-5.
I NOTE
Efficiency is calculated using the following formula:
.. _ Power Output (watts)

Efflclency - Plate Voltage x Plate Current
v. Adjust L DVR BIAS ADJ control A11R40, and R DVR BIAS ADJ control A11R44 until
the pa is saturated. (LEFT DVR K 400 MA and RIGHT DVR K 400 MA test meter (M1)

connected for a line voltage of 240 volts, reconnect the wires for a line
voltage of 250 volts.) To change screen voltage only, refer to table 5-2.
f. Reapply primary power and press the FILAMENT ON and PLATE ON switches on con-
trol panel Al.
g. Repeat steps b. through f. until the maximum transmitter output is not more
than 10 percent above the authorized station maximum output.
h. Compare the PLATE VOLTAGE reading with the plate voltage listed in table 3-5
for the authorized station maximum power output. (Linear interpolation of
tabu1ateo values may be necessary.) If the compared voltages differ by more
than 10 percent, proceed to step i. If the compared voltages differ by less
than 10 percent, skip to step m.

The 7203/4CX250B and 8621/4CX250FG are ceramic/metal forced-air

cooled, external-anode radial-beam tetrodes with a maximum plate dissi-
pation rating of 250 watts and a maximum input-power rating of 500 watts.
The 7203/4CX250B is designed to operate with a heater voltage of 6.0
volts, while the 8621/4CX250FG is designed for operation at a heater volt-
age of 26.5 volts. Otherwise, the two tube types have identical charac-
teristics.

NOTE: TYPICAL OPERATION data are obtained from direct measurement or by calculation from published character-
istic curves. Adjustment of the rf grid voltage to obtain the specified plate current at the specified bi!3s,
screen and plate voltages is assumed. If this procedure is followed, there will be little variation in output
power when the tube is changed, even though there may be some variation in grid and screen current. The grid
and screen currents which result when the desired plate current is obtained are incidental and vary from tube
to tube. These current variations cause no difficulty so long as the circuit maintains the correct voltage in
the presence of the variations in current. In the case of Class C Service, if grid bias is obtained principally
by means of a gr id resistor, the resistor must be adjustable to obtain the required bias voltage when the
correct rf grid voltage is applied.

TYPICAL OPERATION values are obtained by calculation from published characteristic curves. To obtain
the specified plate current at the specified bias, screen, and plate voltages, adjustment of the rf
lrid voltage is assumed. If this procedure is followed, there will be little variation in output
power when the tube is replaced, even though there may be some variation in grid and screen
currents. The grid and screen currents which occur when the desired plate current is obtained are
incidental and vary from tube to tube. These current variations cause no performance degradation
providing the circuit maintains the correct voltage in the presence of the current variations.
