GX1500S Alignment

The GX1500S has been carefully aligned at the factory for the specified performance

across the marine band.

Realignment should therefore not be necessary except in the event of a component

failure. All component replacement and service should be performed only by an authorized

Standard Horizon representative, or the warranty policy may be voided.

The following procedures cover the sometimes critical and tedious adjustments that are

not normally required once the transceiver has left the factory. However, if damage occurs

and some parts are replaced, realignment may be required. If a sudden problem occurs

during normal operation, it is likely due to component failure; realignment should not be

done until after the faulty component has been replaced.

We recommend that servicing be performed only by authorized Standard Horizon

service technicians who are experienced with the circuitry and fully equipped for repair and

alignment. Therefore, if a fault is suspected, contact the dealer from whom the transceiver

was purchased for instructions regarding repair. Authorized Standard Horizon service

technicians realign all circuits and make complete performance checks to ensure

compliance with factory specifications after replacing any faulty components.

Those who do undertake any of the following alignments are cautioned to proceed at

their own risk. Problems caused by unauthorized attempts at realignment are not covered

by the warranty policy. Also, Standard Horizon, a division of VERTEX STANDARD, must

reserve the right to change circuits and alignment procedures in the interest of improved

performance, without notifying owners. Under no circumstances should any alignment be

attempted unless the normal function and operation of the transceiver are clearly

understood, the cause of the malfunction has been clearly pinpointed and any faulty

components replaced, and the need for realignment determined to be absolutely necessary.

The following test equipment (and thorough familiarity with its correct use) is necessary

for complete realignment. Correction of problems caused by misalignment resulting from

use of improper test equipment is not covered under the warranty policy. While most steps

do not require all of the equipment listed, the interactions of some adjustments may require

that more complex adjustments be performed afterwards. Do not attempt to perform only a

single step unless it is clearly isolated electrically from all other steps. Have all test

equipment ready before beginning, and follow all of the steps in a section in the order

presented.

Alignment Preparation & Precautions

A dummy load and inline wattmeter must be connected to the main antenna jack in all

procedures that call for transmission. Correct alignment is not possible with an antenna.

After completing one step, read the following step to determine whether the same test

equipment will be required. If not, remove the test equipment (except dummy load and

wattmeter, if connected) before proceeding.

Correct alignment requires that the ambient temperature be the same as that of the

transceiver and test equipment, and that this temperature be held constant between 20°C

and 30°C (68°F and 86°F). When the transceiver is brought into the shop from hot or cold

air it should be allowed some time for thermal equalization with the environment before

alignment. If possible, alignments should be made with oscillator shields and circuit boards

firmly affixed in place. Also, the test equipment must be thoroughly warmed up before

beginning.

Note: Signal levels in dB referred to in this procedure are based on 0 dBµ = 0.5 µV (closed

circuit).

Overview of Test Mode

The test mode has been build in the microprocessor in order to adjust and confirm the

performance of transceiver.

The purpose is to adjust transceiver simply and to confirm the performance of

transceiver smoothly.
