Introduction
GENERAL INFORMATION
The Park Air Electronics (PAE) type 2750M drive unit is a fully synthesised multi-frequency unit designed
to provide the carrier frequency for a 2750SA transmitter.
By setting the front panel controls, the unit can provide any 25 kHz spaced channel frequency from
118.000 to 136.975 MHz. Additionally, the drive unit supports 2, 3, 4, or 5-offset carrier systems.
The unit fits into a standard 483 mm (19 inch) equipment rack on either fixed runners or telescopic slides.
It is powered from a standard ac input supply, or from a low voltage dc supply. When both ac and dc input
supplies are connected, operation from the ac supply takes priority; automatic change-over to the dc
supply occurs if the ac supply fails. On restoration of the ac supply, the equipment reverts to ac
operation.
Page 7
OPERATING MODES
The drive units can be operated in local or remote mode, or as part of a PAE MARC system. The various
operating modes are described in the following paragraphs.
Local Operation
In local operation the drive frequency can be changed using the front panel Liquid Crystal Display (LCD)
and control keys. Additionally, BIT status can be seen and an interruptive BIT test can be initiated.
Remote Operation
For remote operation, input and output signals are available from the drive units rear panel Facilities
connector CN3. These signals can be routed to the users control equipment through a suitable
communication link. The signals include:
q
Tape output
Tx signal
External PTT
Various Built-in Test (BIT) indications (included as part of the serial data)

Operating Instructions
INTRODUCTION
This section describes the function of the drive units external controls, indicators and connectors, and
provides operating instructions. No attempt should be made to operate the drive unit until the installation
instructions have been completed.
(GA9971)
AC Power Switch
Two-position switch with associated amber indicator. Setting the
switch to the on position (up) connects ac input power to the drive
units circuitry. When switched on, the amber indicator above the
switch is lit.
DC Power Switch
Two-position switch with associated amber indicator. Setting the
switch to the on position (up) connects dc input power to the drive
units circuitry. When switched on, the amber indicator above the
switch is lit.
(SA2354)
Note...
When both ac and dc supplies are available and connected, the drive unit operates on ac power
only; both supply indicators, however, are lit. If the ac supply fails, the drive unit automatically
switches to operate from the dc supply. Under these circumstances, only the dc indicator is lit
showing that the drive unit is operating on the dc supply. Reversion to ac operation is automatic
when the ac supply is restored and is shown by both indicators being lit.

detected within the drive unit. When the Alarm indicator is lit, users
should select Page 2 on the control panel to display more information
about the fault.
Note ...
If the Alarm indicator is flashing this indicates a power supply
failure in the associated 2750SA transmitter.
Freq Socket

Page 16
OPERATION
Power Up
Carry out a visual inspection ensuring that the required connectors are securely fitted.
At the front panel, set the AC and/or the DC Power switches to on (up). Confirm that the associated
indicators are lit. Confirm that the Alarm indicator is unlit and that the LCD shows the drive units current
drive frequency.
Local Operation
The following operations are available from the drive units front panel:
q
Changing the operating frequency. If the drive frequency requires changing, refer to the
procedure given on page 18.
Using the BIT information page. If during operation of the transmitter and drive unit the Alarm
indicator becomes lit, the equipment should normally be switched off and the fault reported to
the appropriate engineering personnel. If the Alarm indicator is unlit, and a fault is suspected, a
BIT interruptive test can be initiated. The procedure for initiating an interruptive test is given on
page 19.
Alarm Flashing
If during operation of the transmitter and drive unit the Alarm indicator starts flashing, one of the following
conditions is indicated:
q
The facilities lead between the 2750SA transmitter and the drive unit is disconnected
If the 2750SA transmitter is switched on and the facilities lead is connected, the transmitter should be
operated locally and any fault conditions revealed at the transmitters front panel meter recorded.
Following this the fault should be reported to the appropriate engineering personnel along with any
recorded information.
Remote Operation
Remote operation of the drive unit and associated 2750SA transmitter means control and monitoring at a
position remote from where the transmitter and drive unit are installed. To achieve this, modulation input
(and any other required facilities) routed via the drive units rear panel Facilities connector, must be
connected through a suitable link to the control position. The method of operation, therefore, depends on
how the equipment facilities are configured and cannot be detailed in this publication. If the drive unit is
being used as part of a Multi-Access Remote Control (MARC) system, users should refer to the MARC
User Guide.
