PURPOSE OF BENCH MAINTENANCE PROCEDURE. 1-2. The basic approach used in the development of this manual has been that of d

5、ividing all equipments into two categories: a. Components operating at or above a minimum standard of satisfactory performance. b. Defective or poorly performing components. 1-3. Bench maintenance is reduced, first, to determining whether or not an equipment is operating satisfactorily, and, second,

6、 repairing the equipment if it is found to be defective. This division results in a procedure having four sections: a. INTRODUCTION - This section presents a brief description of the basic function of the subject equipment, its primary power requirements, inter-unit connecting cables, a suggested be

7、nch mock-up, and other information necessary for quick reference with respect to proper maintenance techniques. b. PERFORMANCE CHECKS - These are of primary importance and are to be performed in sequence upon the subject equipment. An equipment that meets all the requirements of this series of check

8、s is thereby determined to be satisfactory. An equipment that fails in any one of several of the check requirements is assigned, by means of proper references, to the appropriate steps in one or both of the two sections described below. c. ALIGNMENT - This section details the steps necessary to retu

9、rn the equipment to a properly aligned condition. Practical methods requiring a minimum of maintenance time are employed. d. TROUBLE ISOLATION - This section of the procedure is divided into sections, each of which deals with a specific component, stage or stages according to the function of the equ

10、ipment. When the maintenance technician is referred to a section of TROUBLE ISOLATION by the failure of the equipment to meet the standards set up in PERFORMANCE, he will find detailed instructions and data pertinent to the function. Additional aids in the form of sectional schematics and suggested

11、testing techniques are at his fingertips. This eliminates time-consuming manual searching, thus increasing the work output and efficiency of the technician. 1-4. DESCRIPTION OF PROCEDURE. 1-5. The procedure begins with a general description of the appearance, function, and operational characteristic

12、s of the AN/ARC-5 Communications Equipment. It is followed by a block diagram, list of test equipment and tools, and other necessary information. The procedure proper consists of PERFORMANCE CHECKS, ALIGNMENT, and TROUBLE ISOLATION sections, each of these making use of pictorial diagrams, photograph

13、s, and sectional schematics. These aids are related to the written material by means of three types of symbols: a. A star-encircled letter indicates a MAJOR CHECK POINT, at which satisfactory PERFORMANCE can be most easily determined. b. An encircled numeral indicates SECONDARY CHECK POINT, at which

14、 more detailed circuit information such as voltage readings and waveforms, can be obtained for trouble analysis. c. C-49 - Manufacturers circuit symbols, used to cross-reference all diagrams with the written material. 1-6. USE OF THE PROCEDURE. 1-7. The proper procedure to follow in bench maintenanc

15、e work is that given by the sequence of the PERFORMANCE CHECKS. These checks follow an order which will most quickly reveal the proper or improper performance of the equipment. 1-8. The failure of the equipment to meet one of these checks suggests the need for ALIGNMENT, or TROUBLE ISOLATION, and ap

16、propriate references are made. 1-9. When the reason for defective operation is found and the defect has been corrected, the technician is directed to return to the PERFORMANCE section, repeat the step at which defective operation was first noted, and, if PERFORMANCE is satisfactory, to continue with

17、 the remainder of the PERFORMANCE CHECKS. 1-10. Satisfactory completion of the last PERFORMANCE CHECK completes the bench maintenance for the equipment. 1-11. GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF AN/ARC-5 EQUIPMENT. 1-12. The model AN/ARC-5 Aircraft Radio Communication Equipment (See figure 1-1.) is a multi- chan

18、nel radio transmitter and receiver for use on aircraft having a 22 to 30-volt d-c power supply. The receivers cover a frequency range of 190 kc to 9.1 mc in five independent units, each unit designed to be mounted interchangeably into the receiver racks. Racks are available for either two, and/or th

19、ree- unit installations, the receivers operating singly or simultaneously, depending upon requirements. Provisions have been made for either local or remote control, but only remote controls are furnished with the equipment. The receiver mounting racks will accommodate other rack types of equipment

20、such as the AN/ARR-2 Receiver and AN/ARC-5 VHF Transmitter-Receiver. These units will not be covered in this procedure. The weight of the equipment, less cables and mechanical linkages, is 23.6 pounds for a two-receiver installation and 55.2 for a three-receiver installation. 1-13. The receivers are

21、 designed for the reception of CW, MCW or VOICE modulation. Manual gain control is employed in conjunction with high level automatic gain control. The outputs of each receiver may be paralleled on one line to a single headset, or divided for double headset reception by more than one operator. A 600-

22、ohm headset is to be used with this equipment. A single antenna is used for all receivers and transmitters. The tuning dials are calibrated directly in mc and their accuracy is better than 0.5 per cent. The transmitters cover the frequency range of 2.1 to 9.1 mc in five independent units. They are d

23、esigned to be installed in pairs. The transmitter frequency control dial is calibrated in megacycles with an accuracy of .03 per cent or better. A crystal calibrator is used in conjunction with an electron resonance indicator to spot-check the dial calibrations of each unit. The current drain from t

24、he d-c power source is 8.8 amperes when transmitting with CW emission, and is reduced to 2.5 amperes on stand-by. The carrier power output varies between eight watts with VOICE modulation to 25 watts with CW emission. Figure 1-2. Receiver and Transmitter Block Diagrams 1-14. TEST EQUIPMENT. DESCRIPT

It may be used by attaching cord CD-532 to either position of the receiver rack and when so employed, the meter will not indicate when the meter switch is in position four or five. Volume control on AVC directly affects sid

41、etone level. 3. The drawing shows the mechanical linkage (Part No. 6151) so that the mechanical tuning features of the control units C-26 and C-43/ARC-5 and radio receivers R-20 to R-27/ARC-5 may be tested. No linkage is furnished with the test equipment. Control unit MC-257 (local tuning crank) is

42、furnished for testing these receivers. 4. Test unit I-104-A may be made to function as a control unit and provide the channel selection when testing VHF radio receiver R-28/ARC-5, by connecting cord CD-527 between jack J-103 on the radio receiver and jack J-600 on the test unit. 5. Dynamotors *DY-2/

43、ARR-2 and *DY-2A/ARR-2 are furnished with the particular radio receivers as shown. Both dynamotors are interchangeable with dynamotors DM-32-A or CBY-21531. 6. Transmitters and receivers may be tested either by direct connection to the test equipment, using cords CX-33/GRM-1 and CD-706, or by mounti

44、ng in a one or two unit rack and using cords CX- 31/GRM-1 and CD-532. SECTION II PERFORMANCE CHECKS 2-1. GENERAL. 2-2. These PERFORMANCE CHECKS are to be made in the order given; when a performance requirement is not met, a reference is made to the appropriate voltage measurement or signal tracing p

45、rocedure in TROUBLE ISOLATION. ALIGNMENT PROCEDURES are included, but are to be used only as directed in TROUBLE ISOLATION. Signal tracing techniques are used after voltage readings have been found to be normal. The standard maintenance manual should be referred to for detailed information concernin

46、g the AN/ARC-5 Equipment. Note Receiver and transmitter PERFORMANCE CHECKS are divided as shown in the TABLE OF CONTENTS. 2-3. VISUAL CHECKS. Connect the unit to be checked on the Test Set AN/GRM-1 rack and inspect the unit for the following: l. Faulty plugs, threads and pins. 2. Improper fusing. 3.
