Performance Check and Calibration Procedures
TPG20 Service 1–5
Performance Check
1. Visual Inspection
a. Connect the TPG20 to a power source, and turn the power on.
b. Check – the front panel LCD contrast. The readout should be easily
visible under normal lighting conditions.
c. Check – all front panel controls, indicators and rear panel connectors
for functionality, appearance, and mechanical integrity.
2. Subcarrier Accuracy
NOTE. After initial delivery or long storage allow a two–hour warm up to re-age
the crystal. Thereafter, 30 minutes warm up is sufficient.
