About This Manual
Scope This manual contains general, technical and servicing informa-
tion on T830 Series II 25W, 50W and 100W base stations which
comprise the following equipment:
Format We have published this manual in a ring binder so that “revision
packages” containing additional information pertaining to new
issues of PCBs can be added as required.
Revision Packages Revision packages will normally be published to coincide with
the release of information on a new PCB, and may also contain
additions or corrections pertaining to other parts of the manual.
You may order as many packages as you require from your local
Tait Dealer or Customer Service Organisation. Revision pack-
ages are supplied ready-punched for inclusion in your manual.
Revision Control Each page in this manual has a date of issue. This is to comply
with various Quality Standards, but will also serve to identify
which pages have been updated and when. Each page and its
publication date is listed in the “List of Effective Pages”, and a
new list containing any new/revised pages and their publica-
tion dates will be sent with each revision package.
Any portion of text that has been changed is marked by a verti-
cal line (as shown at left) in the outer margin of the page or col-
umn. Where the removal of an entire paragraph means there is
no text left to mark, an arrow (as shown at left) will appear in
the outer margin. The number beside the arrow will indicate
how many paragraphs have been deleted. Changes to diagrams
that cannot be marked by these methods will be explained in an
Amendments Box added to the diagram.
The manual issue and revision status are indicated by the last
three digits of the manual product code. These digits start at 200
and will increment through 201, 202, 203, etc., as revision pack-
ages are published, e.g:
25W base station T835 receiver
T836 25W transmitter
50W base station T835 receiver
T837 exciter
T838 50W power amplifier
100W base station T835 receiver
T837 exciter
T839 100W power amplifier

Thus, issue 203 indicates the third revision to issue 2 and means
that three packages should have been added to the manual. The
issue digit will only change if there is a major product revision,
or if the number of revision packages to be included means that
the manual becomes difficult to use, at which point a new issue
manual will be published in a new ring binder.
PCB Information PCB information is provided for all current issue PCBs, as well
as all previous issue PCBs manufactured in production quanti-
ties, and is grouped according to PCB. Thus, you will find the
parts list, grid reference index (if necessary), PCB layouts and
circuit diagram(s) for each individual PCB grouped together.
Errors If you find an error in this manual, or have a suggestion on how
it might be improved, please do not hesitate to contact Customer
Support, Tait Electronics Ltd, Christchurch, New Zealand (full
contact details are on page 2).
