A4 Coarse Loop

Error 112 Coarse Loop Osc Failed

Description: The coarse loop oscillator is not phase-locked.

 

 

 

Step 1.

Disconnect cable W103 at A4J1 and cable W105 at A4J6.

 

 

 

Step 2.

Using a spectrum analyzer, verify the presence of a +5 dBm

 

 

 

 

￿6 dB, 500 MHz signal at the end of cable W103 and a

 

 

 

 

+3 dBm ￿5 dB, 10 MHz signal at the end of cable W105.

 

 

 

 

qIf present, go to step 5.

 

 

 

 

If one or both of the signals are not present, go to step 3.

 

 

 

Step 3.

Disconnect cable W103 at A3J1 and cable W105 at A3J4.

 

 

 

Step 4.

Using the spectrum analyzer, verify the presence of the

 

 

 

 

+5 dBm ￿6 dB, 500 MHz signal at A3J1 and the +3 dBm

 

 

 

 

￿5 dB, 10 MHz signal at A3J4.

 

 

 

 

If the 500 MHz signal is present, replace cable W103.

 

 

 

 

qIf the 10 MHz signal is present, replace cable W105.

 

 

 

 

If the signals are not present, replace the A3 PCB.

 

 

 

Step 5.

Reconnect cable W103 to A4J1 and cable W105 to A4J6,

 

 

 

 

then disconnect cable W106 at A4J3.

 

 

 

Step 6.

Set up the 682XXB/683XXB to generate the CW frequencies

 

 

 

 

listed in Table 5-12.

Table 5-12.Coarse Loop Frequencies

 

 

 

 

 

Step 7.

Using a spectrum analyzer, measure the frequency and am-

If the signals are incorrect, replace the A4 PCB.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Step 8.

Reconnect cable W106 to A4J3 and run self-test again.

 

 

 

 

qIf error 112 is not displayed, the problem is cleared.

If error 112 is still displayed, contact your local

ANRITSU service center for assistance.
