Service Manual PM200 Test Equipment Configuration (Fig. 1) Prerequisites For the following tests, signal generator modulation level should be set to Average System Deviation, i.e. 60% of maximum system deviation. The level should therefore be set to: 1.5 kHz for 12.5 kHz channel spacing 3.0 kHz for 25 kHz channel spacing...
Service Manual PM200 EEPROM programming Ensure that the EEPROM has the required customer parameters programmed, otherwise ensure that a test EEPROM is programmed with at least the lowest, middle and highest RX/TX frequencies prior to aligning the UHF scanning mobile radio.
Power Output a) Connect the transmitter to the Communications Test Set (CTS) with the power meter set to read 25W for the PM200. b) Set the power supply to 13.8Vdc and connect a dc voltmeter across the power supply to monitor the supply voltage.
Service Manual PM200 f) Release PTT. When CTCSS and DCS performance checks are also required, ensure that the lowest, middle and highest RX/TX frequencies include: (see below for suggested test channel set-up). Lowest RX/TX freq. ch. 67.0 Hz CTCSS Middle RX/TX freq. ch DCS Code 072 Highest RX/TX freq.

Service Manual PM200 RF level is < -117dBm (0.31μVpd). Squelch a) Ensure that both the radio and the signal generator are set to the appropriate channel spacing. b) With the above setting, reduce the RF level to –130dBm (speaker should be muted).
Service Manual PM200 Alignment WARNINGS Any repairs or adjustments should only be made by, or under the supervision of a qualified radio-telephone service technician. CAUTION This radio contains static sensitive devices. Static safe precautions should be observed; in particular we would recommend the use of a suitable floor mat, table mat, bonding cords and a wrist strap.
Service Manual PM200 Disassembly and Re-assembly of the Radio In order to carry out the following Test and Alignment procedures it will be necessary to gain access to the inside of the radio. Care should be exercised when opening up the radio for maintenance or repair.
Service Manual PM200 a) Select Channel 1. b) Set the PTT switch to on. Check that the VCO tuning voltage at TP1 is >1.5V. c) Set the PTT switch to off. Select Channel 3. d) Set the PTT switch to on and check that the voltage at TP1 is <10V.
Service Manual PM200 a) Select Channel 2 on the radio. b) Set the RF generator to the receiver frequency and the RF level to 1mV Pd (-47dBm). c) Set the AF signal to 1 kHz. d) Set the deviation to: 12.5 kHz channel spacing...

Service Manual PM200 The SINAD performance test may be used to test the sensitivity of the receiver. a) Connect the RF signal generator, modulated with a 1 kHz tone, to the radio. b) Set the frequency to correspond to the Rx frequency of the radio.
Service Manual PM200 Detailed functional description UHF Transmit The transmitter is comprised of: Microphone audio Frequency synthesiser Power amplifier and harmonic filter Automatic power control Microphone Audio Circuit Microphone audio is fed through the front panel PCB onto the main PCB, where it is amplified, limited the inside parts of the CMX881 and pre-emphasised before being applied to the VCO and TCXO (via pin 2 on TCXO module).

Service Manual PM200 Charge Pump and Loop Filter Transistors Q903 to Q904 and associated resistors and capacitors form the charge pump and loop filter. The phase detector output from U1 pins 7 and 8 are combined by the charge pump to produce a 0 – 15 tuning volt signal. The signal is filtered by the loop filter to remove any residual reference frequency harmonics from the signal.
Service Manual PM200 UHF Receive The receiver is comprised of: Front End Filter / RF amplifier First mixer and first IF amplifier Second mixer, second IF amplifier and FM detector Receiver audio circuit(CMX881) Mute (Squelch) circuit RF amplifier The receiver Front End module contains two stages of filtering and an amplifier, Q601.
Service Manual PM200 pin 16 of U2 and applied to the mixer. The output of the second mixer, a frequency of 455kHz, is the difference between the IF signal and the second local oscillator. The 455kHz passes via pin 5 and is applied to a 455kHz bandpass filter, FL2, (20/25kHz channel spacing) or FL3 (12.5kHz channel spacing).
Service Manual PM200 Troubleshooting Obvious checks, such as battery performance on load, should be made before pulling the radio apart. The use of a power supply isolates this cause. The alignment procedures, given in Section 5, list how standard tests such as SINAD measurements can be made.
Key Assign: Programmable Key P3 (long Press) assigned to the ASIC Control using the PC Programmer. When the PM200 has finished programming remove lead, switch off and on again. Long press of the P3 key will access the ASIC mode.
