SECTION I

GENERAL INFORMATION

1-1. DESCRIPTION.

1-2 The 8808A is a Log Level Preamplifier which

produces a dc output proportional to the logarithm of

the ac input signal, over an extremely wide range of

signal amplitudes. The input signal dynamic range

can be up to 100 dB (100,000:1). In addition, a

50 dB (320:1) span is provided for greater signal resolution

1-3. The Preamplifier is designed for use with low

output impedance accelerometers, as well as vibration

and acoustic transducers, which have outputs in the

frequency range of 5 Hz to 100 kHz. It is also useful

for continuous monitoring or recording of signal output

in dB during frequency analysis of amplifiers, filters,

transmission networks, and similar devices.

1-4. The 8808A can be plugged into Sanborn direct

writing recording systems. When used with recorders

having 50 division chart paper, the calibrated output is

2 dB per division for the 100 dB span, or 1 dB per

division for the 50 dB span. Also, the preamplifier

can be benchtop or rack mounted, with the output

connected to a monitoring instrument such as a

voltmeter or oscilloscope. For recording, a strip

chart recorder or magnetic tape recorder can be

connected to the output.

1-5. The range switch provides nine bottom scale

sensitivities in 10 dB steps from 0 dBV to -80 dBV

(dBV = decibels referred to 1 volt RMS). For the

50 dB span, the full scale signal is 50 dB above the

bottom scale level. For the 100 dB span, the full scale

signal is 100 dB above the bottom scale level.

1-6. All nine RANGE switch positions can be used with

the 50 dB span. The four switch positions outlined in

red on the panel (-50, -60, -70, -80) are used for the 100

dB span only.

1-7. Specifications for the 8808A Log Level Preamplifier are

given in Table 1-1.

3-4. GAIN control sets the preamplifier output level for a full scale cal signal applied to the preamplifier input. For use in

recording systems, full scale output corresponds to the top division on the recorder chart ( approx. -2.5 volts preamp

output). For use with a voltmeter or oscilloscope, full scale output is +5 volts.

3-5. LOG ZERO control sets the preamplifier output level for a bottom scale cal signal applied to the preamplifier input.

For use in recording systems, bottom scale output-corresponds to the bottom division on the recording chart (approx. -2.5

volts preamp output). For use with a voltmeter or oscilloscope, bottom scale output is 0 volts.

3-6. SPAN BALANCE control balances the preamplifier, to obtain the same output on the 100 and 50 dB spans for a -80

dBV calibration signal level.

3-7. RESP TIME,/CAL DB switch selects the operating mode. FAST and SLOW response times are the use positions.

OFF position disconnects the input signal from the preamplifier, and grounds the preamplifier input. -80, -30, +20 dB

CAL positions select calibration voltage levels supplied by a 500 Hz oscillator in the preamp.

3-8. OUTPUT jack provides the preamplifier output signal at the front panel, for monitoring purposes. Mates with 10G2-

22MW plug.

3-9. BALANCING

3-10. Allow preamplifier to warm up several minutes before balancing.

a. Set the RESP TIME/CAL DB and RANGE switches to the -80 position.

b. Adjust the LOG ZERO control for approximately bottom scale output.

c. Alternately set the DB SPAN switch to the 50 and 100 positions while adjusting the SPAN BALANCE control for

minimum change in the preamp output.

NOTE

Approximately ± 20 mnV noise normally present at the preamplifier output will cause a slight

fluctuation in the reading observed on a voltmeter or oscilloscope connected to the output.

3-11. CALIBRATION

a. Set the DB SPAN switch to 100.

b. Set the RANGE switch to 80.

c. Set the RESP TIME/CAL DB switch to -80.

d. Adjust the LOG ZERO control for bottom scale output.

e. Set the RESP TIME/CAL DB switch to +20 and adjust the GAIN control for full scale output.

f. Repeat steps 3-11 (c) through 3-11 (e) to eliminate the effects of control interaction.

g. Set the RESP TIME/CAL DB switch to OFF. With the switch OFF, a negative voltage is normally present at the

preamp output, which will position the recorder stylus offscale.

NOTE

Preamp RANGE switch must be in the -80 position during the calibration procedure.

3-12. ALTERNATE CALIBRATION PROCEDURE.

3-13. To calibrate the preamplifier with the DB SPAN switch in the 50 dB position, use the below procedure:

a. Set the DB SPAN switch to 50.

b. Set the RANGE switch to -80.

c. Set the RESP TIME/CAL DB switch to -80.

d. Adjust the LOG ZERO control for bottom scale output.

e. Set the RESP TIME/CAL DB switch to -30 and adjust the GAIN control for full scale output.

f. Repeat steps 3-13 (c, d, e) to eliminate the effects of control interaction.

g. Set the RESP TIME/CAL DB switch to OFF. With the switch OFF, a negative voltage is normally present at the

preamp output, which will position the recorder stylus offscale.

3-14. OPERATION

3-15. Set RESP TIME/CAL DB switch to OFF. Connect input signal to preamplifier. For applications where preamplifier

is installed in Sanborn recorder, the output signal is displayed on recorder chart paper. For applications where the

preamplifier output is to be monitored with an oscilloscope or voltmeter, the output is available from the preamplifier front

panel OUTPUT jack, or from a rear connector on the preamplifier power supply.

3-16. Set the DB SPAN switch to the 50 dB or 100 dB position, depending on the expected range of input signal

amplitudes.

3-17. 50 dB SPAN OPERATION.

3-18. Set the RANGE switch to the position which corresponds to the minimum expected signal level. See examples 1

and 2.

EXAMPLE 1: Minimum expected signal level 10 mnV rms. This corresponds to a -40 dBV signal level (see Table 3-1).

Set the RANGE switch to the -40 dBV position. The full scale signal level is 50 dB higher:

-40 dBV

add +50 dB

+10 dBV = Full scale input signal = 3.16 volts rms

EXAMPLE 2: Minimum expected signal level .5 volt rms. This corresponds to a -6 dBV signal level. Since there is no -

6 dBV switch position, set the switch to the next lower step, which is -10 dBV. The full scale signal level is 50 dB higher:

-10 dBV

add +50 dB

-40 dBV Full scale input signal = 100 volts rms

3-19. Set the RESP TIME/CAL DB switch to the FAST or SLOW position, depending on the signal bandwidth, and the

detection response) time desired. (For FAST response, the preamp) bandwidth is 500 to 100,000 Hz. For SLOW

response, bandwidth is 5 to 100,000 Hz.)

3-20. For 50 division chart paper, the calibration is 1 dB/div. The bottom division on the chart represents the bottom

scale signal level in dB indicated on the RANGE switch.

3-21. 100 dB SPAN OPERATION.

3-22. Only the four RANGE switch positions outlined in red (-80, -70, -60, -50) are used for the 100 dB span. Set the

RANGE switch to the position which corresponds to the expected minimum signal level.

EXAMPLE 1: Minimum expected signal is 1 mV rms. This corresponds to a -60 dBV level (see Table 3-1). Set RANGE

switch to the - 6OdBV bottom scale position. The full scale signal level is l00dB higher:

- 60 dBV

add +100 dB

+ 40 dBV = Full scale input signal = 100 volts rms

EXAMPLE 2: Minimum expected signal is

500 mV rms. This corresponds to a -66 dBV level. Set the RANGE switch to the next lower step, which is the -70 dBV

bottom scale position. The full scale signal level is 100 dB higher:

- 70 dBV

add +100 dB

+ 30 dBV = Full scale input signal = 31.6 volts rms

3-23. Set the RESP TIME/CAL DB switch to the FAST or SLOW position, depending on the signal blind bandwidth, and

the detection response time desired. (For FAST response, the preamp bandwidth is 500 to 100,000 Hz. For SLOW

response, bandwidth is 5 to 100,000 Hz.)

3-24. For 50 division chart paper, the calibration is 2 dB/div. The bottom division on the chart represents the bottom

scale signal level in dBV indicated on the RANGE switch.

3-25. OPERATION WITH MONITORING INSTRUMENTS.

3-26. When the preamplifier output is connected only to a monitoring instrument such as a dc voltmeter or oscilloscope,

perform the balancing (Section 3-9) and calibration (Section 3-11) procedure as indicated. Bottom scale output refers to

0 volts preamplifier output. Full scale output is -5 volts preamplifier output. The 50 dB span calibration is .1 volts/dB.

The 100 dB span calibration is .05 volts/dB.

3-27. SIMULTANEOUS RECORDING AND MONITORING OF 8808A OUTPUT.

3-28. To simultaneously record and monitor the 8808A output signal, perform the balancing and calibration procedure

using the recorder. The dc voltmeter, oscilloscope, or other monitoring instrument connected to the output of the preamp

will read approximately -2.5 volts for a bottom scale input signal, and approximately +2.5 volts for a full scale input

signal. The monitor instrument calibration is .1 V/dB on the 50 dB span, and .05 V/dB on the 100 dB span.

SECTION IV

PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION

4-1. The 8808A Log Level Preamplifier is designed to produce a logarithmic output (in decibel units) on a linear scale for

a wide dynamic range (100 dB) of input signals. The wide dynamic range is achieved by the use of a combination of

series and shunt successive detector stages. The block diagram (Figure 4-1) shows a simple series of successive

detector stages with logarithmic compression networks, similar to those used in the 8808A.

4-2. Each stage consists of a linear amplifier having a gain of 16-2/3 dB. Limiting diodes at the input of each stage

prevent amplifier saturation. The full-wave detector output drives a logarithmic response shaping network. The outputs

of all stages are connected to a summing resistor. This series of stages handles the first 50 dB of amplifier signal input.

For 100 dB span operation, a second series of successive detectors covers the remaining 50 dB of signal range.

4-3. Signal flow as shown in Figure 4-1 is as follows: A small ac signal appearing at the input is amplified by stage 3, but

not sufficiently to provide detector output. The signal is further amplified by stage 2, but is still not sufficient amplitude to

detect. The signal is amplified by stage 1 to a level sufficient to operate the first detector. The output of the fullwave

detector is compressed by a three-line segment logarithmic compression network. All compression network outputs are

connected to the summing resistor. As the input level increases, successive compression in stages 2 and 3 perform a

similar function, feeding their output to the summing junction.

4-4. The very wide dynamic range of the 8808A is made possible by the progressive summing of the outputs of each of

the detector stages, which by themselves operate linearly over a 16-2/3dB range.

4-5. The overall block diagram for the 8808A is shown in Figure 4-2. A signal at the input sees the input Attenuator

which is followed by a differential, low noise operational amplifier using field effect transistors. The amplifier output is

connected to a series of detector and compressor networks to provide the first 50 dB of operating range. A shunt signal

path with a hybrid emitter follower drives the lower series of detector networks for the remaining, 50 dB of signal level.

4-6. The detector outputs are summed into a balanced dc amplifier. The SPAN BALANCE, control and zero suppression

circuit outputs are also summed into the balanced amplifier. The action of the SPAN BALANCE control is to produce the

same bottom scale output from the dc amplifier on the 50 dB and 100 dB spans. The zero suppression circuit works in

conjunction with the input Attenuator.

4-7. The DB SPAN switch circuit is located in the feedback loop of the balanced dc amplifier to produce a 2:1 gain

change in the amplifier output, depending on the setting of the SPAN switch.

4-8. The output of the balanced amplifier is fed to a shunt gain control, followed by the output differential to single-ended

dc amp which has a dc signal summed in from the LOG ZERO control to set log zero level.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

The electrical safety of this product has been considered in its design and production, and its

APPENDIX D

MAINTENANCE ALLOCATION

Section I. INTRODUCTION

D-1. General

This appendix provides a summary of the maintenance operations for the AM-6681 (V)/U. It authorizes categories of

maintenance for specific maintenance functions on repairable items and components and the tools and equipment

required to perform each function. This appendix may be used as an aid in planning maintenance operations.

D-2. Maintenance Function

Maintenance functions will be limited to and defined as follows:

a. Inspect. To determine the serviceability of an item by comparing its physical, mechanical, and/or electrical

characteristics with established standards through examination.

b. Test. To verify serviceability and to detect incipient failure by measuring the mechanical or electrical characteristics

of an item and comparing those characteristics with prescribed standards.

c. Service. Operations required periodically to keep an item in proper operating conditions, i.e., to clean

(decontaminate), to preserve, to drain, to paint, or to replenish fuel, lubricants, hydraulic fluids, or compressed air

supplies.

d. Adjust To maintain, within prescribed limits, by bringing into proper or exact position, or by setting the operating

characteristics to the specified parameters.

e. Align. To adjust specified variable elements of an item to bring about optimum or desired performance.

f. Calibrate. To determine and cause corrections to be made or to be adjusted on instruments or test measuring and

diagnostic equipments used in precision measurement. Consists of comparisons of two instruments, one of which is a

certified standard of known accuracy, to detect and adjust any discrepancy in the accuracy of the instrument being

compared.

g. Install. The act of emplacing, seating, or fixing into position an item, part, module (component or assembly) in a

manner to allow the proper functioning of the equipment or system.

h. Replace. The act of substituting a serviceable like type part, subassembly, or module (component or assembly) for an

unserviceable counterpart.

i. Repair. The application of maintenance services (inspect, test, service, adjust, align, calibrate, replace) or other

maintenance actions (welding, grinding, riveting, straightening, facing, remachining, or resurfacing) to restore

serviceability to an item by correcting specific damage, fault, malfunction, or failure in a part, subassembly, module

(component or assembly), end item, or system.

j. Overhaul. That maintenance effort (service/action) necessary to restore an item to a completely

serviceable/operational condition as prescribed by maintenance standards (i.e., DMWR) in appropriate technical

publications. Overhaul is normally the highest degree of maintenance performed by the Army. Overhaul does not

normally return an item to like new condition.

k. Rebuild. Consists of those services actions necessary for the restoration of unserviceable equipment to a like new

condition in accordance with original manufacturing standards. Rebuild is the highest degree of materiel maintenance

applied to Army equipment. The rebuild operation includes the act of returning to zero those age measurements (hours,

miles, etc.) considered in classifying Army equipments/components.

D-3. Column Entries

a. Column 1, Group Number. Column 1 lists group numbers, the purpose of which is to identify components,

assemblies, subassemblies, and modules with the next higher assembly.

b. Column 2, Component/Assembly. Column 2 contains the noun names of components, assemblies, subassemblies,

and modules for which maintenance is authorized.

c. Column 3, Maintenance Functions. Column 3 lists the functions to be performed on the item listed in column 2.

When items are listed without maintenance functions, it is solely for purpose of having the group numbers in the MAC

and RPSTL coincide.

d. Column 4, Maintenance Category. Column 4 specifies, by the listing of a "worktime" figure in the appropriate

subcolumn(s), the lowest level of maintenance authorized to perform the function listed in column 3. This figure

represents the active time required to perform that maintenance function at the indicated category of maintenance. If the

number or complexity of the tasks within the listed maintenance function vary at different maintenance categories,

appropriate "worktime" figures will be shown for each category. The number of task-hours specified by the "worktime"

figure represents the average time required to restore an item (assembly, subassembly, component, module, end item or

system) to a serviceable condition under typical field operating conditions. This time includes preparation time,

troubleshooting time, and quality assurance/quality control time in addition to the time required to perform the specific

tasks identified for the maintenance functions authorized in the maintenance allocation chart. Subcolumns of column 4

are as follows:

C - Operator/Crew

O - Organizational

F - Direct Support

H - General Support

D - Depot

e. Column 5, Tools and Equipment. Column 5 specifies by code, those common tool sets (not individual tools) and

special tools, test, ,and support equipment required to perform the designated function.

f. Column 6, Remarks. Column 6 contains an alphabetic code which leads to the remark in section IV, Remarks, which

is pertinent to the item opposite the particular code.

D-4. Tool and Test Equipment Requirement (sect III)

a. Tool or Test Equipment Reference Code. The numbers in this column coincide with the numbers used in the tools

and equipment column of the MAC. The numbers indicate the applicable tool or test equipment for the maintenance

functions.

b. Maintenance Category. The codes in this column indicate the maintenance category allocated the tool or test

equipment.

c. Nomenclature. This column lists the noun name and nomenclature of the tools and test equipment required to

perform the maintenance functions.

d. National/NATO Stock Number. This column lists the National/NATO stock number of the specified tool or test

equipment.

e. Tool Number. This column lists the manufacturer's part number of the tool followed by the Federal Supply Code for

manufacturers (5-digit) in parentheses.

D-5. Remarks (sect IV)
