1.1 Manual Overview

This instruction manual is divided into five chapters and supporting appendices. Chapter

1, Introduction, contains information on safety, material return procedures, and

warranties. Chapter 2, System Description, contains the system and assembly

descriptions. Chapter 3, Installation and Set Up Procedures, describes the installation

procedure, set up procedure and the operation of the transmitter. Chapter 4, Circuit

Descriptions, contains the detailed circuit descriptions of the boards and subassemblies

that are contained in the transmitter. Chapter 5, Maintenance, describes the periodic

Assemblies, Subassemblies and Boards drawings and parts lists.

1.2 Assembly Designators

Axcera has assigned assembly numbers, Ax designations, where x=1,2,3 etc, example A1,

to all assemblies, modules, and boards in the system. These designations are referenced

in the text of this manual and shown on the block diagrams and interconnect drawings

provided in the appendices. The Block Diagrams, Interconnects, Schematics, Assembly

Drawings and Parts Lists are arranged in increasing numerical order in the appendices.

Section titles in the text for assembly or module descriptions or alignment procedures

contain the associated part number(s) and the relevant appendix that contains the

drawings for that item.

The cables that connect between the boards within a tray or assembly and that connect

between the trays, racks and cabinets are labeled using markers. Figure 1-1 is an

example of a marked cable. There may be as few as two or as many as four Markers on

any one cable. These markers are read starting farthest from the connector. If there

are four Markers, the marker farthest from the connector is the system number such as

system 1 or translator 2. The next or the farthest Marker is the rack or cabinet “A”

number on an interconnect cable or the board “A” number when the cable is within a

tray. The next number on an interconnect cable is the Tray location or Board “A”

number. The marker closest to the connector is the jack or connector “J” number on an

interconnect cable or the jack or connector “J” number on the board when the cable is

within a tray.
