Technical Description
The front connection n circuit has the purpose to allow connection of the
various audio accessories to the equipment, by means of three sockets
placed on the front panel, and sends all the signals to the Base circuit that
contains the circuits for microphone and headsets amplification. This
circuit also features LC filtering to prevent RF feedback on audio lines.
The connectors suitable for connection of audio ancillaries are:
HANDSET
The Base circuit hosts almost all of the circuits of the AK100 equipment:

Chapter 4
Technical Description
When the PTT or squelch signals are active the "PTT" or "SQ" LEDs
placed on the front of AK 100 equipment are light.
The signals incoming from "HEADSET HANDSET OFF", "SPEAKER OFF"
and "SQ OFF" allow respectively for headset/earphones disabling,
loudspeaker muting and squelch-off signal enabling.
When an alarm is present on DTR100 equipment the ALM frontal indicator
is active. The Power supply voltages are routed to the AK100 power
switch, and their lines are also equipped by fuse for over-current
protection. The 12Vdc supply is finally sent to voltage regulator stage,
where a stabilized +8Vdc is generated for circuit supply. When this voltage
is present the "POWER" led placed on the front of AK 100 is active.

5.1.3 Procedures
The following paragraphs detail the preventive maintenance procedures to be
carried out on the equipment.
Before starting, the operator must check for the availability of the tools listed
in related table.
5.1.3.1 Equipment cleaning
Cleaning operations of the equipment must be carried out even if the
equipment is installed in an air-conditioned environment. It is recommended
the use of cotton gloves to protect metal surfaces from skin oils.
Chassis cleaning should be done using a clean dry cloth or a brush. Every
traces of dust on the inside must be removed.
In case of grease or dirt on the connector pins, use a brush dampened with
specific solvent.
Do not use solvents to clean painted or anodized part and the display.
5.1.3.2 External Connectors inspection
External connector must be controlled; loose connectors may introduce
malfunction and/or mismatching. It is important to check the status of fuses;
they should be replaced in case of contact oxidation.
5.1.3.3 Equipment Status check
Equipment status should be checked weekly by browsing the control panel
display and verifying that no alarm is present. In case of alarm occurrence,
please refer to troubleshooting indications within this section.

ANNEXURE - 1
SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS
Carefully read all the following cautions and warnings before using the
equipment.
WARNING
Do not use the equipment for uses different than those indicated in the
handbook.
WARNING
For correct use of equipment, refer to the relevant section within this
handbook.
WARNING
Protect the equipment from rainfalls, sprinkling of water and/or other
liquids, and from dust.
WARNING
Do not set any object on equipment.
WARNING
Connect the equipment to the equipment room ground bar through
dedicated connection, and not through physical contact with other frames.
WARNING
Do not use the equipment if it is not appropriately grounded or if ground is
absent.
WARNING
The electric shock can cause the interruption of the natural breathing. An
immediate action is necessary in order to restore breathing. It is therefore
necessary that the staff be familiarized with the various methods of
artificial breathing and cardiac massage. In case of incidents, caused from
high tension, an urgent medical aid is necessary to deal the possible
effects of the body poisoning caused from burns. In all the cases, proper
medical assistance must be requested. It is necessary to make sure that
any person who uses or takes care itself of the maintenance of the
Civil Aviation Training College
Page 1
Annexure
equipment having parts under dangerous voltages is able of performing
artificial breathing, and it is necessary to instruct the staff on first aid
measures in case the need arises.
WARNING
Do not use the equipment if the power cable and/or the power supply
outlet are damaged.
WARNING
Install the equipment following the instructions given in this handbook.
The equipment must be installed in such a way complies with the national
regulations in effect.
WARNING
Wear protection gloves when handling the equipment.
WARNING
When handling the equipment be sure that all internal modules and cards
are safely screwed in their position into the chassis.
WARNING
The equipment weight can cause problems during its handling. Take the
necessary precautions, e.g. be assisted by another person if necessary.
WARNING
Position the equipment in such a way as to guarantee its correct aeration
as well as safe accessibility to the front side controls, and rear side power
supply outlets, RF, signal and data connections.
WARNING
Do not position the equipment standing on its rear side, since this can
damage rear panel parts.
WARNING
Carry out the maintenance interventions on the equipment following the
instructions given in this handbook.
WARNING
Follow all accident prevention standards when carrying out maintenance
interventions on the equipment.

ESD PRECAUTIONS
No ESD precautions have to be taken by the operator in the daily use of the
equipment. The equipment is designed and manufactured in such a way to not
be sensible to electrostatic discharges.
ESD precautions in maintenance / installation
The equipment includes many electrostatic-sensitive parts that must be handled
at a static-safeguarded working area. Furthermore, they must be arranged in
static-safeguarded packages, either in the case of storing, or in the case of
shipment.
These recommendations should be followed with the maximum care, especially
in the case of modules or board extraction and handling, for installation or
maintenance activity, etc.
A static safeguard area may be intended as:
Grounded static dissipating wrist-strap that drains static charge from the
operator wearing it.
Page 3
Annexure
Work surface should provide a standard-size ESD-safeguard snap suitable for
snap-stacking wrist-strap connection. It should be used as a convenient ESD
caution, whenever handling modules and boards. These recommendations are to
be extended also to activity not strictly performed in close equipment
surrounding. If removed, replaced, or located inside workshop, any board should
be handled by means of convenient ESD cautions.
WARNING
Please note that Marconi disclaims any responsibility for problems due to
poor ESD protection during installation/maintenance activity.
Page 4
Annexure
If the equipment is powered through a power switchboard, the breaker may be
conveniently arranged within the switchboard, also providing selective ON/OFF
switching.
In any case the protection device/system must be in full respect of requirements
stated by national applied regulation and standard.
If the equipment is DC-powered by external battery pack, the use of an external
20A fast-acting fuse on the positive pole, together with a circuit switching
breaker, is mandatory, in order to allow safe battery replacing and maintenance
without disconnecting cabling. The battery should possibly be placed in a
different environment than the equipment; this environment must be aerated, and
battery poles must be protected wrt accidental contacts.
