SECTION III
OPERATION
3.1 OPERATION
Before return to service, verify operation of KA 39 output voltages through the Performance
Test Procedure in Section 5.2 of this manual.
SECTION IV
THEORY OF OPERATION
For the “A” series regulator, zener diode CR101 provides reference voltage to the darlington
series pass elements Q102, Q101. Diode CR102 offers transient and reverse power applica-
tion protection. Capacitor C101 suppresses spurious oscillations that might appear with reac-
tive loads.
For the “B” series regulator, zener diode CR104 provides reference voltage to the darlington
series pass elements Q104, Q103. Diode CR103 offers transient and reverse power applica-
tion protection. Capacitor C102 suppresses spurious oscillations that might appear with reac-
tive loads.
Refer to Figure 5-2 for test point voltages. Refer to Figure 6-2 for the current KA 39 Voltage
Converter schematic diagram.

ify correct polarity. Record in Table 5-1.
5.2.3.7 Adjust power supply to +22 Vdc.
5.2.3.8 Verify a DVM reading of +13.75 Vdc ±15% between 14V pin A and 14V pin GND.
Record in Table 5-1.
5.2.3.9 Adjust power supply to +33 Vdc.
5.2.3.10 Verify a DVM reading of +13.75 Vdc ±15% between 14V pin A and 14V pin GND.
Record in Table 5-1.
5.2.3.11 Adjust power supply to +27.5 Vdc.
5.2.3.12 Turn OFF power supply.
5.2.3.13 Remove resistive load A-1.
5.2.3.14 Regulator A with load A-2 (5.0 amps):
5.2.3.15 Connect resistive load A-2 to UUT 14V pin A and 14V pin GND.
5.2.3.16 Turn ON power supply (+27.5 Vdc). Leave on for 45 seconds, but no more than 60
seconds. The unit may become too hot if this load is active for more than 60 seconds.

5.4.1 VISUAL INSPECTION
This section contains instructions to assist in determining, by inspection, the condition of KA
39 assemblies. Defects resulting from wear, physical damage, deterioration, or other causes
can be found by these inspection procedures. To aid inspection, detailed procedures are ar-
ranged in alphabetical order.
5.4.1.1 Capacitors, Fixed
Inspect capacitors for case damage, body damage, and cracked, broken, or charred insula-
tion. Check for loose, broken, or corroded terminal studs, lugs or leads. Inspect for loose,
broken, or improperly soldered connections.
5.4.1.2 Capacitors, Variable
Inspect trimmers for chipped and cracked bodies, damaged dielectrics and damaged contacts.
5.4.1.3 Chassis
Inspect the chassis for deformation, dents, punctures, badly worn surfaces, damaged connec-
tors, damaged fastener devices, loose or missing hardware, component corrosion, and dam-
age to the finish.
5.4.1.4 Connectors
Inspect connectors for broken parts, deformed shells or clamps, and other irregularities. In-
spect for cracked or broken insulation and for contacts that are broken, deformed, or out of
alignment. Also, check for corroded or damaged plating on contacts and for loose, improperly
soldered, broken, or corroded terminal connections.
5.4.1.5 Covers and Shields
Inspect covers and shields for punctures, deep dents, and badly worn surfaces. Also, check
for damaged fastener devices, corrosion and damage to finish.
5.4.1.6 Insulators
Inspect insulators for evidence of damage, such as broken or chipped edges, burned areas,
and presence of foreign matter.
5.4.1.7 Jacks
Inspect all jacks for corrosion, rust, deformations, loose or broken parts, cracked insulation,
bad contacts, or other irregularities.
5.4.1.8 Potentiometers
Inspect all potentiometers for evidence of damage or loose terminals, cracked insulation or
other irregularities.
5.4.1.9 Resistors, Fixed
Inspect the fixed resistors for cracked, broken, blistered, or charred bodies and loose, broken,
or improperly soldered connections.
5.4.1.10 RF Coils
Inspect all RF coils for broken leads, loose mountings, and loose, improperly soldered, or bro-
ken terminal connections. Check for crushed, scratched, cut or charred windings. Inspect the
windings, leads, terminals and connections for corrosion or physical damage. Check for phys-
ical damage to forms and tuning slug adjustment screws.
5.4.1.11 Terminal Connections Soldered
5.4.1.11.1 Inspect for cold-soldered or resin joints. These joints present a porous or dull,
rough appearance. Check for strength of bond using the points of a tool.
5.4.1.11.2 Examine the terminals for excess solder, protrusions from the joint, pieces adher-
ing to adjacent insulation, and particles lodged between joints, conductors, or other
components.
5.4.1.11.3 Inspect for insufficient solder and unsoldered strands of wire protruding from con-
ductor at the terminal. Check for insulation that is stripped back too far from the
terminal.
5.4.1.11.4 Inspect for corrosion at the terminal.
5.4.1.12 Transformers
5.4.1.12.1 Inspect for signs of excessive heating, physical damage to case, cracked or broken
insulation, and other abnormal conditions.
5.4.1.12.2 Inspect for corroded, poorly soldered, or loose connecting leads or terminals.
5.4.1.13 Wiring/Coaxial Cable
Inspect open and laced wiring of chassis, subassembly chassis and parts of equipment for
breaks in insulation, conductor breaks, cut or broken lacing and improper dress in relation to
adjacent wiring or chassis.
5.4.2 CLEANING
5.4.2.1 Use a clean, lint-free cloth lightly moistened with a regular cleaning detergent to re-
move the foreign matter from the equipment case and unit front panels. Wipe dry using
a clean, dry, lint-free cloth.
5.4.2.2 Use a hand-controlled dry air jet (not more than 15psi) to blow the dust from inacces-
sible areas. Care should be taken to prevent damage by the air blast.
5.4.2.3 Clean the receptacles and plugs with a hand-controlled dry air jet (not more than
25psi), and a clean, lint-free cloth lightly moistened with an approved cleaning solvent.
Wipe dry with a clean, dry, lint-free cloth.
5.4.3 REPAIR
This section describes the procedures for replacing damaged or defective components.
5.4.3.1 Connectors
When replacing a connector, refer to the appropriate PC board assembly drawing and follow
notes to insure correct mounting and mating of each connector.
5.4.3.2 Wiring/Coaxial Cable
When repairing a wire that has broken from its terminal, remove all old solder and pieces of
wire from the terminal, restrip the wire to the necessary length and resolder the wire to the ter-
minal. Replace a damaged wire or coax with one of the same type, size and length.

6.1 INTRODUCTION
The Illustrated Parts List (IPL) contains parts lists of assemblies and discrete components re-
quired for the unit. The IPL provides the proper identification and part number of each replace-
ment part. The IPL starts with the top assembly and continues in sequence with the sub-as-
sembly parts lists. Mechanical parts are grouped separately from electrical parts on each sub-
assembly parts list. Each parts list is followed by the assembly drawing for that assembly.
Parts lists may also be called “bills of material” or “BOM.” Parts identified in this IPL meet de-
sign specifications for this equipment and are recommended replacement parts. Warranty in-
formation concerning replacement parts is contained in Service Memo #1, P/N 600-08001-
00XX.
