The radio is designed to meet or exceed stringent International regulations including ETS300-162 and EN301-025. AXIS RT62 - Has full international channel capability; 16 pre-programmed private channels; features Dual and Tri Watch, Channel Inhibit and Revert, Scan and full memory operation; back-lit LCD display featuring large, 14 segment numerals to indicate working channel above smaller legends providing operational and status information; available with either fist-mic or telephone handset. AXIS RT63 - The RT63 is similar to the RT62 but includes features only required in the USA. Items referred to in the DSC receiver block diagram are omitted. DSC received audio is shared with the voice receiver. When the voice channel is inactive, the radio scans channel 70. DSC AF and AF pins of the handset connector are joined for this purpose. Note all references to the RT62 apply to this version. AXIS RT64 – Offers the same facilities as the RT62 Model with an additional watch-keeping receiver allowing it to use the Digital Selective Calling (DSC) system for routine and distress calling on VHF Channel 70. To access this feature the RT64 must be linked to a Simrad Class D DSC control unit DSC1400. AXIS RD68 – Offers the same facilities as the RT64 with a built in Class D DSC Controller to facilitate routine and distress calling on VHF Channel 70. Digitally Selected Calls are quicker and simpler to make than traditional voice calls using Channel 16 and should a distress situation occur, an alert can quickly be raised indicating identity, position and nature of the emergency and automatically establish communication on the emergency voice channel The main components of the Simrad Fixed VHF range are: 1.1 Electronics PCBs a.Receiver / Transmitter PCBDrawing No. E03921 b.Control PCBRT62 / RT64Drawing No. E03924 c.Control PCB RD68Drawing No. E03658 d.Fist Mic FTM5 (RD68) e.Fist Mic FTM6 (RT62/64)Drawing No. E03950 f.Telephone Handset THS4 f.Telephone Handset THS5Drawing No. E03953 1.2 Mechanical Components a.RT62 / RT64 ChassisDrawing No. E04086 b.RD68 ChassisDrawing No. E04093 DRAFT DRAFT 4 c.RT62 / RT64 Front PanelDrawing No. E04088 d.RD68 Front PanelDrawing No. E04099 f.FTM6 General AssemblyDrawing No. E04084 g.THS5 General AssemblyDrawing No. E03162 DRAFT DRAFT 5 2 OPERATING SIMRAD VHF RADIOs This Service Manual only contains operating instructions for those features of Simrad Radio that are not normally available to the end user. For details of normal operation please refer to the appropriate Simrad Instruction Manual. LCD Test Mode. The LCD test mode may be entered by holding Soft Keys 2 and 4 on power up. Depressing each key in turn will then fill the display with the appropriate characters. The radio must be turned off to exit test mode. DRAFT DRAFT 6 3 ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS 3.1 RT62 / RT64 Chassis Pre-Assembly Refer to Chassis Assembly Drawing number E04086 and General Assembly Drawing numbers E04091 (RT62) and E04092 (RT64) Ensure that the “Coolpads” Part numbers E04067 and E04068 are fitted to the AF Amplifier and PA Module Platforms. Fit an appropriate PCB, E03921 for RT62 or E04089 for RT64, into the chassis carefully locating the extension loudspeaker socket, antenna connector and UHF Grounding Washer. Locate the 2 insulators E03998 one to each of the securing screw apertures at each side of the PA Module and fit the 6 screws 200294 as indicated. Ensure that the screw securing the AF Amplifier IC is fitted with an M3 Insulating Washer 200081. Solder the 2 cables from the power connector E03323 onto the PCB and withdraw any slack in the cables. Solder the tinned copper wire from the Antenna socket onto the antenna pad and angle the tags of the UHF Grounding Washer away from the antenna connector and solder each to the earth plane. Locate and fit the 3 PCB Compression Rubbers E03999 into the front of the casing. 3.2RT62 / RT64 Front Panel Pre-Assembly Refer to Front Panel PCB Assembly Drawing Number E04088. Ensure that the front case printing on the window and keypad is correct for the product under assembly and that the window and the LCD face are clean and free from dust. Offer the PCB, E03924, up to the case front ensuring that the shanks of the 3 rotary controls fit through the appropriate aperture and that the pins of the handset / fistmic socket engage through the PCB. Fit an “O” Ring, 190044, to each of the 3 Control Knobs, 2 x E03103:BK and 1 x E03102:BK. Apply a smear of Multi Purpose Grease PFG-210, Part Number 260002, to each of the “O” Rings and fit the knobs to the rotary controls pressing firmly home. Solder the fist…
