TROUBLESHOOTING

SOURCE/TEST SET/RECEIVER

5-7SOURCE/TEST

Because of the 373XXA phase-lock loop structure, it is not easy to distin-

SET/RECEIVER

guish between failures that occur in the Source Module, the Test Set

 

Module and the Receiver Module. In order to troubleshoot failures occur-

 

ring in this group of modules, it is essential to be familiar with how each

 

module functions and how it interacts with the other modules. Refer to

 

Chapter 7, System description, for a functional description of each mod-

 

ule.

 

For Model 37397A, refer to Figure 5-3 and Figure 5-4 (rear of section)

 

for aid in troubleshooting Test and Source Lock signal paths. Refer

 

also to Table 5-6(rear of section) for a list of typical reference signal

 

values, and to Tables 5-7and -8for Transfer and DPDT Switch Volt-
