CAUTION
Allow all equipment, including the readout module, to warm up for at least 60 minutes before attempting any calibration.
Adjust the mechanical zero of the panel meter (use mirror scale to avoid parallax error) so that the needle is centered on the first hash mark of the black expanded arc to within 0.50 needle width.
Verify the output voltage of the power supplies as follows (See drawings
Mother Board (P/N 876-1-78, Schematic 876-1-3A)
1.Connect the negative lead of the DMM to TP102.
2.Probe TP101 with the positive lead of the DMM. The DMM should read +24 ± 3 VDC.
Power Supply Printed Circuit Board (P/N
3.Probe TP5 (white) with the positive lead. The DMM should read
4.Probe TP4 with the positive lead. The DMM should read
5.Probe TP2 with the positive lead. The DMM should read + 15.0 ± 0.2 VDC. Adjust R5 as required to achieve correct readings.
6.Probe TP3 with the positive lead. The DMM should read +14.3 ± 0.4 VDC.
PreamplifierIMeter Board (P/N 876A-1-86, Schematic 876A-1-3E)
7.Probe TP401 on preamplifier meter board with the positive lead. The DMM should read +6.200 ± 0.001 VDC. Adjust R413 as necessary to correct this reading.

8. Probe the back panel high voltage connector, J2. The DMM should read +506 ± 10 VDC.
5.5 Signal Input Circuit
(P/N
3B)
The signal input circuit is partly on the preamplifier board, and partly on the relay driver board. It consists of logarithmic amplifier U301 and its associated circuitry (preamplifier meter board) and amplifier U501 (relay driver board). The output of U501 provides the input for the meter circuit on the preamplifier meter board and the high and alert alarm circuits on the relay driver board. The alarm circuits are covered in the "Alarm Circuits" paragraph. The signal input circuit can be tested at two test points, using the CHANNEL TEST push button to provide a convenient input signal. Voltages at these points should be measured with no signal input.
1.Disconnect the cable connecting the readout module to the detector. Turn the function switch to TEST.
2.Measure the voltages at TP501 and TP502 under two conditions: 1) with no signal input; 2) with a signal input obtained by pressing the CHANNEL TEST push button.
The voltages should be:
