LBI-38425A DESCRIPTION AND INITIAL ADJUSTMENT

1 DESCRIPTION

The service section contains the information necessary for aligning and troubleshooting

the MLS II (MLSH041) two-way FM mobile radio. In addition, information is provided

for removing and replacing chip components, disassembly procedures and module

replacement procedures.

2 INITIAL ADJUSTMENT

The following adjustments should be made by a certified electronics technician after the

radio has been installed as described in the Installation Manual.

2.1 TRANSMITTER ADJUSTMENT

The transmitter has been adjusted at the factory and should require no readjustment.

However, the antenna length should he adjusted for optimum VSWR, and the frequency

and modulation measured and recorded for future reference. For the complete

transmitter alignment, refer to the Alignment Procedure (see Table of Contents).

2.2 RECEIVER ADJUSTMENT

No initial adjustments to the receiver are required. Refer to the Table of Contents for the

complete receiver alignment.

2.3 RE-INSTALLATION

The MLS II series mobile radios are designed to operate in 12-Volt negative ground

vehicles only. If the mobile radio is moved to a different vehicle, always check the

battery polarity of the new vehicle system.

MAINTENANCE LBI-38425A

3 MAINTENANCE

3.1 PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE

To insure high operating efficiency and to prevent mechanical and electrical failures

from interrupting system operations, routine checks should be made of all mechanical

and electrical parts at regular intervals. Preventive maintenance should include the

following checks:

3.1.1 Connections

Ground connections to the voltage source should be periodically checked for tightness,

Loose or poor connections to the power source will cause excessive voltage drops and

faulty operation. When ground connections are not made directly to the battery, the

connection from the battery to vehicle chassis must be checked for low impedance. A

high impedance may cause excessive voltage drops and alternator noise problems.

3.1.2 Electrical System

Check the voltage regulator and alternator or generator periodically to keep the electrical

system within safe and economical operating limits. Over-voltage is indicated when the

battery loses water rapidly. Usage of 1 or 2 ounces of water per cell per week is

acceptable for batteries in continuous operation. A weak battery will often cause

excessive noise or faulty operation.

3.1.3 Mechanical Inspection

Since mobile units are subject to constant shock and vibration, check for loose plugs,

nuts, screws and parts to make sure that nothing is working loose.

3.1.4 Antenna

The antenna, antenna base, and all contacts should be kept clean and free from dirt or

corrosion. If the antenna or its base should become coated or poorly grounded, loss of

radiation and a weak signal will result.

3.1.5 Alignment

The transmitter and receiver meter readings should be checked periodically, and the

alignment “touched up” when necessary. Refer to applicable Alignment Procedure and

Troubleshooting sheet for typical voltage readings.

3.1.6 Frequency Check

Check transmitter frequency and deviation. Normally, these checks are made when the

unit is first put into operation, after the first six months and once a year thereafter.

LBI-38425A MAINTENANCE

3.1.7 Disassembly

To gain access to the transmitter, receiver, and the system control/synthesizer for

servicing, loosen the four screws securing the cover at the rear of the radio. Then pull

the cover out from under the edge of the front panel and lift the cover off.

3.2 DRIVER REPLACEMENT

3.2.1 To Remove Driver HC1

1. Remove the two screws securing HC1 to the printed wire board.

2. Unsolder the four (4) leads bridging HC1 to the printed board while lifting each lead

as they are unsoldered. SERVICE NOTE: These leads are soft and can be bent very

easily.

3. Gently lift up on the module, taking care not to damage the spacer under the module.

SERVICE NOTE: The module may stick to the printed board.

3.2.2 To Replace Driver HC1

1. Position the module properly, aligning the screw holes and leads with the printed

board. Trim leads if necessary (see Figure 1).

2. Replace the two screws securing the driver to the printed board, using a moderate

torque of 5 inch-pounds.

3. Solder the four leads of driver HC1 to the printed board and ground strap.

Figure 1 - Driver Lead Identification

3.3 PA TRANSISTOR REPLACEMENT

WARNING

The PA transistor contains Beryllium Oxide, a TOXIC substance. If the ceramic or

other encapsulation is opened, crushed, broken or abraded, the escaping dust may be

hazardous if inhaled. Use care when replacing the module.

MAINTENANCE LBI-38425A

1. Remove the two retaining screws securing PA transistor TR1 to chassis assembly.

2. Unsolder and remove capacitors. Use a desoldering tool as necessary while lifting

the transistor leads with a small screwdriver or pick. Discard old capacitors.

3. Unsolder the emitter, base, and collector leads of the transistor, and remove it from

the printed board.

4. Remove all excess solder from the board, and clean the holes to allow the new

transistor to be positioned properly and the capacitors to fit into proper locations.

Refer to Figure 2 and trim the new transistor leads (if required) to the lead length of

the removed transistor.

5. Apply silicon grease to the back of the replacement transistor and place the transistor

into the mounting slot.

6. Replace the transistor mounting screws using a moderate torque of 5 inch-pounds.

7. Tack solder the four base leads to the printed board, using minimum solder. Then

solder the emitter and collector leads.

8. Install the capacitors into their proper mounting areas, flush to the board.

9. Solder the capacitor bodies to the printed board by first soldering the outside edge.

Then, holding the iron to the outside edge, touch the solder to the inside edge of the

capacitor. Be careful not to create solder bridges at the front and back edges of the

capacitors.

10. Remove any flux left on the board.

Figure 2 - PA Transistor Lead Identification

LBI-38425A MAINTENANCE

3.4 CHIP COMPONENT REPLACEMENT

Replacement of chip capacitors should always be done with a temperature controlled

soldering iron, using a controlled temperature of 700°F (371°C). However, DO NOT

touch black metal film of the resistors or the ceramic body of capacitors with the

soldering iron.

NOTE

The metallized end terminations of the parts may be touched with the soldering iron

without causing damage.

3.4.1 To Remove Chip Components

1. Using two soldering irons, heat each end of the chip at the same time until solder

flows and then remove and discard the chip.

2. Remove excess solder with a vacuum solder extractor.

3. Carefully remove the epoxy adhesive and excess flux to prevent damage to the

printed board.

3.4.2 To Replace Chip Components

1. Using as little solder as possible, “tin” one end of the component and one of the pads

on the printed wiring board.

2. Place the “tinned” end of the component on the “tinned” pad on the board and

simultaneously touch the component and the pad with a well “tinned” soldering iron

while pressing the component down on the board.

3. Place the “tinned” soldering iron on the other end of the component and the pad

simultaneously. Apply solder to the top of the end of the component until the solder

starts to flow. Use as little solder as possible while getting a good joint.

4. After the component has cooled, remove all flux from the component and printed

wiring board area with alcohol.

The CMOS integrated Circuit devices used in this equipment can be destroyed by static

discharges. Before handling one of these devices, the serviceman should discharge

himself by touching the case of a bench test instrument that has a 3-prong power cord

connected to an outlet with a known good earth ground. When soldering or desoldering

a CMOS device, the soldering iron should also have a 3-prong power cord connected to

an outlet with a known good earth ground. A battery-operated soldering iron may be

used in place of the regular soldering iron.
