Operating personnel must at all times observe all safety regulations. Do not change tubes or make adjustments inside the equipment with the high voltage supply on. Do not depend upon door switches on interlocks for protection; always shut down the motor generator or other equipment. Under certain conditions dangerous potentials may exist in circuits ‘with the power controls in the off position because of charges retained by capacitors, etc. To avoid casualties always discharge and ground cireuits prior to touching them. Section | AN 16-30ARC3-3 Paragraphs 1—1¢ INTRODUCTION Instructions in this handbook cover both modified and unmodified Radio Sets AN/ARC.3, AN/ARC- 36, and AN/ARC-49. Ia modified equipments, changes have been made in the following components: AN/ARC3 or AN/ARC-36 Radio Transmitters and Receivers, AN/ARC3 Power Junction Boxes, AN/ARC3 Control Boxes, and AN/ARC-3 Control Panels, The modifications indicated above do not affect interchangeability of components, but in Radio See AN/ARC-3 and AN/ARC-36 equip- ments with a modified transmitter and receiver and in Radio Set AN/ARC-49 equipments with an unmodified transmitcer and receiver the tuning motor will delay approximately 30 to 45 seconds when the equipment is fist turned on, Subsequent channel shifting will not be affacted and at the end of a short tone signal, the equipment is ready for use. However, if the Radio Set AN/ARC-3 or AN/ARC:36 transmitters of receivers are used with Control Box C-118/ARC3, the tuning motors will run continuously if all channel buttons are left up. For this reason uamodified Control Boxes C-118/ARE3 should be tagged or labeled with the following statement: “This contro! box is un- modified. One channel button must be depressed at all times to prevent continuous operation of, and damage to, the tuning motor.” A general reference, such as "The Radio Transmitter,” "The Radio Receiver,” "The Control Box,” or'"The Control Panel” is made throughout this handbook when instructions are applicable £0 modified or unmodified Radio Sets AN/ARC-3, AN/ARG-36, and_AN/ARC-49. (Reference to "The Control Panel” will include Control, Radio Set C-1400/ARC-49 and Control, Radio Set -14004/ARC-49). When instructions are applicable to only one type specific reference is made to thet tye except with respect to the "Control Panel” wherein the only diference is in the outline dimensions, SECTION I GENERAL DESCRIPTION 1. GENERAL 4, PURPOSE OF EQUIPMENT.—Radio Sets AN/ ARC3, AN/ARC36 end AN/ARC-49 ate airborne re- ceiving and transmitting equipments designed to provide plane-to-plane or plane-to-ground communication. These ‘models are all similar, the major difference being that the Radio Set AN/ARC.3 has eight frequency channels, Radio Set AN/ARC-36 has sixteen and Radio Sec AN/ ARC.49 has forty-eight. Remote operation of the equip- ments on any frequency channel is accomplished by selecting the desired channel on a control box of control panel. The transmitter and che receiver are coordinated ‘with a conteo! box ot control panel in such a manner that both will operate on preset frequency channels in com- bination with other equipment similarly preset. 4.

Another contact of the motor relay energizes the tone oscillator relay K-106. This closes the push-to- talk cireuit and produces a 1000-cycle audio tone in the hheadsets as described in paragraph 2a(2)(c)1, this sec- tion, (This tone is not applied to the modulator tubes.) Closing of the push-to-talk circuit applies high voltage to the transmitcer as described in paragraph 3a(2) (a), this section. Another set of motor relay contacts (not shown in the figure) shorts the modulator grid, This eliminates the possibility of erratic tuning from tone modulation of the power amplifier grid current. (©) Bight cxystal relays, one corresponding to cach of the operating channels on the teansmnitter, con- rnect the selected crystal into the oscillator circuit. The AN/ARC.36 transmitter has available two banks of eight crystals from which any crystal may be connected into the oscillator circuit. Ground connection for any one of the relays is made when the corresponding channel push button on the control box is pressed or when the channel selector switch on the contol panel is set t0 the corre sponding channel setting. ‘These relays also contain con. tacts for operating the starting relays whenever a new channel is selected. (4) The basic operation of the tuning control circuit (See fig. 412) is as follows: Figure 4-11. Radio Transmitter T-67/ARC-3 or T-312/ARC-36 Without Modi Section IV Paragraphs 3b(3\(b—Sb{3Nid) 1. When a new channel is selected, that crystal 10 whose harmonic the transmitter has been tuned is disconnected from the circuit and another crystal is connected. At the same time motor relay K-104 is closed by the starting celay. This unlocks the control tube by connecting the cathode to ground and applies high voltage to the transmitter, as described in paragraphs 36(3)(B)1, 2 and 3, this sect 2, Since the transmitter circuits are not tuned to the 18th harmonic of the newly selected crystal and ro grid current is being drawn by JAN-832A (V-104), and since the 28-volt locking bias on JAN.U2SH7 (V. 105) was removed by the closing of the motor relay, the control tube draws current and relay K-103 closes. This holds the clutch mechanism and motor relay in an en- exgized position. The motor drives the variable capacitors and changes the frequency to which the transmitter ci. cuits are tuned. 3, When the transmitter is tuned to the 18th harmonic of the new crystal, grid current is drawn by the power amplifier tube JAN-832A (V-104), to apply negative bias ¢0 the geid of the control tube JAN-12SH7 (V-105), stop the flow of plate current in ¢his tube, and open relay K-103, This is a fast operating relay which immediately releases clutch K-105, disconnects the vari- able capacitor shafts from the motor, and applies a brake ¢o the variable capacitor drive shaft.

(See figure 4-13.)— In order (0 close the motor relay and prevent the trans: sitter from tuning to spurious responses in the uncali brated portion of the variable capacitor travel, two relays K-107 and K-108 have been added. These relays operate together, relay K-108 being energized through a contact on relay K-107 whenever relay K-107 is enet- sized. Their operation is as follows: 1. A new channel is selected by pushing the proper button on the control box which automatically Feleases the previously depressed button, or by changing the channel selector switch on the control panel t0 a setting corresponding to the desired channel. This re. 4-16 moves the ground from the erystal relay associated with the channel on which the equipment was previously be- ing operated and causes the erystal relay to drop out. ‘The crystal relay corresponding to the new channel does not operate since it has no connection to A+ in. the actual circuit used. 2, Since all cight crystal relays are now open, a connection is made from one side of starting relay K-107 to A+ through « series of back contacts on the eight ceystal relays, The other side of relay K-107 is con nected t0 ground, Relay K-107 is now energized and ‘operates relay K-108, 3. After relay K-107 is energized, one of its ‘own contacts connects it to A+ through locking switch, $-101B, thus shorting out the chain of contacts through the crystal relays. Another contact shorts the motor AN. 16-30ARC3-3 ONTO RELAY c STARTING SEE FIG. 412 Ree K-l07 oT TO Kt w~T0 Kila To K-l0 y—"T0 — TO KS > TO K-109 oe TO KI2 pir t owTcH 8 MOTOR RELAY See FIG 4-12 B+ RELAY ke102 THROUGH Kora, K-13, ETC. 70 ‘Ae To Ket, KeH3, ETC.

A contact on selay K-108 operates the clutch brake mechanism and the motor relay, setting the tun- ing system in operation and allowing the basic tuning control circuit to operate as deseribed in parageaph 36(3)(d), above. Three of the remaining contacts of relay K-107 and the five remaining contacts of relay K-18 connect A+ to all of the exystal relays. The erys- tal relay which has been connected to ground through the pushed control box bution or through the channel switch on the contsol panel closes, This connects the proper crystal into the oscillator grid circuit. At the same time, the series path which originally connected relay K-107 to A+ is broken by the opening of the back contact, and the erystal celay which has closed is con- nected to A+ through its own contact which is a part of this same series path. Relay K-107 does not open. because it is still connected to A+ through its own contact and switch $-101B, The motor relay and clutch are held in an energized position by relay K-108, which keeps the tuning system in. motion, 5. Cam 0-101, which is driven by the motor, is locaved on top of variable capacitor C-115. The upper face is calibrated to indicate frequency. (See fig. 4-13.) At one point along the circumference there is a small projection, As the cam enters the urcalibeated portion of its travel, this projection strikes an extended arm on switch S-101A and pushes ic to one side, This separates the contacts of the switch until the projection has r0- tated past. This has no electrical effect, since the switch contacts are shorted by a contact on relay K-107. As the cam again enters the calibrated portion of its travel, it opens switch $-101B, located on the opposite side of the cam, This momentarily removes the A} connection from relay K-107 and causes it to open. Since its con- tact opens, the relay now has no connection to A+ and cannot close again, Relay K-108 also opens and remains open. 6, The motor relay and clutch mechanism re: main actuated by the relay K-103, which has closed in the meantime. The variable capacitors continue to rotate uuntil the transmitter circuits are tuned ¢o che 18th har- monic of the crystal frequency. At this-point the sensitive relay opens as described in paragraph 36(3)(d)3, this section, ‘The clutch is released, the motor stops, and the transmitter is tuned to the desired frequency. It is ready for operation on the designated channel whenever the push-to-talk button on the microphone is depressed. The ‘Calibration on cam 0-101 indicates the frequency to which the transmitter is wned.

(See figure 4-13.)—If the crystal in the selected channel should be defective, or if a channel happened to be selected in which no crystal was connected, the motor would ordinarily rua indefinitely and suffer possible damage, since no grid current would ever be developed. in the power amplifier and the sensitive relay could not, ‘open. In order to prevent this, motor stopping switch S-I01A, which is also actuated by cam 0-101, is provided. 1. Switch $-101A is momentarily opened as le capacitor is Leaving the calibrated postion of its travel. The opening of this switch has no effect during the notmal tuning operation, since it is shorted by. contact on relay K-107, which is always energized by S-101B at chis point, In the travel of the cam however, if relay K-107 has been released by the opening of switch $-101B and the variable capacitor is tuned through, the entite calibrated portion of its travel without being, stopped, indicating that no signal has reached che power amplifier grid, switekr S-f01A is opened. 2. Since under this condition relay K-107 is also open, the B+ relay K-102 is disconnected from A‘ by switch S-101A. Relay K-102 opens, removing B+ from the transmitter. The flow of plate eusreac in the contzol tube is thea stopped and relay K-103 opens, thereby releasing the clutch and stopping the motor. Ic is impossible now to apply B+ co the transmitter by B+ FROM RECEIVER = AN 16-30ARC3-3 using the push-to-talk button until another operating channel is selected. (g) STARTING FROM “OFF” POSITION. ‘When first turning on the equipment, itis essential that the tubes be warmed up and in operation before the control tube operates, in order to prevent possible mi tuning. To provide sufficient delay in heating the control tube filament relays K-403 and K-404 have been incor- porated in the power junction box. Relay K-403 is con- nected in the BY line of the tansmitter. The concrol tube filament is not connected to A+ until relay K-404 is closed. 1, When the other tubes are sufficiently heated to draw full place current, relay K-403 closes. The clos- ing of its contacts energizes relay K-40q, (See fig. 414.) a, One contact of this relay connects it rectly to A+}, locking it in the operated position as long as the equipment remains on. The same contact con- nests the control tube filament to A+ allowing it to start heating. b. A second contact shorts relay K-403 in order (0 remove the voltage drop through it, 2, During the warmvup period locking switch $-101B is shorted by a back contact of sensitive relay K-103. (See fig. 4-12 and 4-13.) This prevents the start ing relays from being released until the control tube thas warmed up sufficiently to operate the sensitive relay. 3. By this system the control tube is not per- mitted to start heating until all the other tubes in the equipment are warm, thus insuring thar the RF cubes p-4o4_ 208 RECEIVER, DYNAMOTOR © PLATES 8 SCREENS 208 CONTROL TUBE ar HEATERS: B+ FROM cae P4o2_p-108 TRANSMITTER <— +. > TRANSMITTER DYNAMOTOR PLATES 8 SCREENS Figure 4-14, Radio Transmitter and Radio Receiver—Timo Delay, Located in Power Junction Box 4-68/ARC-3 or J-68A/ARC-3 AN 16-30ARC3-3 Figure 4-15, Radio Transmitter T-67/ARC-3 or T-312/ARC-36 With Modification M-3, T-67A/ ARC-3, T67B/ARC-3, T-212A/ARC-36 or T-312B/ARC-36—Copacitor Drive Assembly are operating before the control tube.

(a) The variable capacitors C-106, C-115, €122, and C-129 and Cam 0-101 ace driven through the clutch bake mechanism by motor B-101. (See fig. 4-16 or 4-17.) Operation of the motor is controlled by a pair of con- tacts on motor relay K-104, which also contains other contacts necessary to the operation of the circuit (6) The motor relay and clutch-brake mechs nism are controlled by a sensitive relay K-103, which is coonected in the plate circuit of the JAN-12SH7 tuning control tube V-195. Grid bias for this tube is derived from the grid current in the JAN-832A class C power amplifier tube V-104, This current develops a negative DC voltage across resistor R-124, which is applied to the contro} tube grid. The action is such chat the control tube is biased to cut off whenever grid current is being drawn by the power amplifier tube. This occurs when- ever the RF cscuits are so tuned that ehe 18th harmonic of the crystal frequency is fed into the power amplifier. ‘Under this condition the sensitive relay, which has a drop-out current rating of 2.5 milliamperes, is open and the tuning system is at rest. 1. To prevent surges of voltage caused by modulation from temporarily removing the bias, the cathode of control ibe V-105 is wired in series with resistor R-150 through a motor relay back contact to A+. This supplies an additional 28-vole bias for the tube and prevents its operation until the cathode and grid are grounded by relay K-117, as deseribed in paragraph +3b(4)(c), this section. When K-117 js closed, the con- facts ground the cathode and grid of the control tube, thus removing all locking bias. Section IV Paragraphs 3b(3ig)—3b(4\a) 2. Another set of contacts of K-117 breaks K-102 from the push-to-talk cireuit and places a ground ‘on the remainder of the push-to-talk circuit. The control tube draws current through the sensitive relay, which closes. The sensitive relay closes the motor relay and clutch K-105, The action of the clutch is deseribed in paragraph 3(2), this section, When the motor clay closes, the original cathode connection of the control tube is transferred from A+ to ground so the tube wi continue to draw current after K-117 has opened. 3. Another contact of the motor relay ener- gizes the tone oscillator relay K-106, This closes, K-102, applying high voltage to the plates and screens of the tubes and producing a 1000-cycle tone in the headsets a5 described in paragraph 2a(2) (c)1, this section, This tone is not applied t0 the modulator tubes as another set of motor relay contacts (not shown in figure) shorts the modulator grid. This eliminates the possibility of erratic ‘uning from tone modulation of the power amplifier grid circuit. (e) On the AN/ARC3 of AN/ARC36 equip- mene eight exystal relays, one corresponding to each of the operating channels on the transmitter, connect the selected crystal into the oscillator ciscuit, The AN/ ARC36 transmitter has available two banks of eight crystals from which any crystal may be connected into the oscillator circuit. Ground connection for any one of the relays is made when the corresponding channe\ push button on the contzol box is pressed, or when the chan: nel selector switch on the control panel is set t0 the corresponding channel setting. These relays also con- tain contacts for operating the starting relays whenever 4 new channel is selected. For Radio Transmitter T-432/ARC-49, ewo rotary solenoid switches, one with four banks of twelve crystals, and the other with a crystal bank selector, are used 0 select and complete the connecting of a crystal to the oscillator grid circuit. These rotary solenoid switches also contain contacts for operating the starting relay K-108, (a) ‘The basic operation of the uning control citeuit (see fig. 4-16 oF 4-17) is as follows: 1, When a new channel is selected, the exystal to whose harmonic the transmitter has been tuned is disconnected from the circuit and another crystal is con- nected. At the same time, relay K-117 has been closed by K-108. This unlocks the control tube by connecting the cathode and grid to ground and applies high voltage as described in paragraphs 34(4)(b)1, 2, and 3, this section. 2, Since the grid and cathode of the control tube are grounded and high voleage is applied, the tube draws plate cucrent, closing K-103. This energizes the clutcn mechanism and motor relay. The motor drives the variable capacitor and changes he frequency co which the teansmiteer circuits are euned. Cam 0-103 passes and opens $-101A but nothing happens because S-101A is shoreed by contacts of K-107 which is closed. The motor 419 Section IV Paragraph 3b(4lld) continues to drive the condensers through she ncal- ‘brated portion of the cam. a. For Radio Transmitter T-67/ARC+3 ot T- 312/ARC36 with modification M-3: The cam momen- tatily opens $-101B which causes K-107, K-108 and K-17 to relax, but the moror continues to run because the control tube is still drawing plate current and holding K-103 closed. While the motor is running, K-118 is relaxed, connecting K-102 tothe push-to-talk circuit, chus maintaining continuity of the push-to-talk circuit during the shore interval while K-i17 is relaxing. b. For Radio Treasmitier T-47A/ARC3, 7. 67B/ARC3, T-312A/ARC36, T-312B/ARC-36 oF T- 452/ARCA9: The cam first closes the normally open contact of S-101B, but nothing happens, since this con- tact is shorted out through the eneegized contact of relay K-103, and the switch $1014. The cam continues on 0 ‘open the normally closed contact af switch $-101B. This TO S-io1a ‘cincult See.

Since all eight crystal relays are now open, 4 connection is made from one side of starting relay K-307 to A+ through a series of back contacts on the eight crystal relays. The other side of relay K-107 is connected to ground. Relay K-107 is now energized and ‘operates relay K-108, which operates K-117. ¢. After relay K-197 is energized, one of its own cancacts connects it to A+- through locking switch, S-101B, thus shorting out the chain of contacts through the crystal relays.

This will cause the motor to drive cam 0-101 off switch $-101B and stop as soon as this, contact of switch $-101B is closed. The starting sequence will then return to that already described. This insures the transmitter always starting no matter where i¢ was tuned when turned off. d. Three of the remaining contacts of relay K-107 and the five remaining contacts of relay K-108 connect A+ (0 all of the crystal relays. The ezystal relay, which has been connected to ground through the pushed control box button or through the channel switch on the control panel, closes. This connects the proper crystal into the oscillator grid circuit. At the same time, the series path, which originally conneced relay K-107 to A+, is broken by the opening of the back contact; and the crystal relay, which has closed, is eoanected to A through its own contact, which is part of the same series, path. Relay K-107 does not open because it is still con- AN 16-30ARC3-3 nected to A+ through its own contact and switch S-101. Relay K-117 has shorted the control-tube geid and cath- ‘ode to ground and closes the push-to-talk cieeuit which applies high voltage. This causes the control tube co close K-103, which operates the clutch and motor relay, causing the tuning system to go into motion. ¢.

At one point along the circumference there is a small projection. As the cam enters the un- calibrated portion of its travel, this projection strikes an extended arm on switch S-101A and pushes it to one side. This separates the contacts of the switch until the projection has rotated past. This has no electrical effect, since the switch contacts are shorted by @ contact on relay K-107.

When a new channel is selected on the Control, Radio Set C-1400/ARC-49, ground is supplied to motors B-102 and B.103 through one or more of the control wites that connect to the conteol wafer (Wafer No. 1) of the motor-switch assemblies. The ap- Plication of this ground causes the motors to rotate their associated switches in 30° steps ia a clockwise manner until an open circuit condition is reached. (See fig. 4.20.)

Should cam 0-101 be resting on switch S-101B beiore the transmitter is turned on, the normally open contact of switch $1018 will be closed, connecting A+ to the motor relays K-104 and K-105, when the ‘transmitter is again turned on. This will cause the motor to drive cam O-101 off the switch $-101B and stop as AN 16-30ARC3-3 soon as this contact of switch $-101B is closed, The starting sequence will then return o that already de- scribed. This insures the cransmittee always starting no matter where cam O-101 was resting when the tans: mitter was turned off, ¢, Cam 0-101 which is being driven by the motor, is located on top of Variable Capacitor C-115. ‘The upper face is calibrated to indicate frequency.

({) MOTOR STOPPING SWITCH S-101A. (See figures 4-18, 4-19 or 4-20,)—If the crystal in the selected channel should be defective, or if « channel happened 40 be selected in which no crystal was connected, the ‘motor would ordinarily run indefinitely and suffer pos- sible damage, since no grid current would ever be devel- ‘oped in the power amplifier and the sensitive relay could not open. In order to prevent this, motor stopping switch S-101A, which is also actuated by cam 0-101, is provided. Its operation is as follows: 1, Switch S-101A is momentarily opened as the variable capacitor is leaving the calibrated portion of its travel, The opening of this switch has no effect during the normal tuning operation, since it is shorted by a contact on relay K-107, which is always energized by S-101B at this point. In the travel of the cam however, if relay K-107 has been released by the opening of switch $-101B and the vatiable capacitor is tuned through the entire calibrated portion of its eravet without being stopped; indicating that no signal has reached the power amplifier grid, switch S-101A is opened. 2, Since under this condition relay K-107 is also open, the Ay connection to the contact arm of -103 is broken, thereby releasing the clutch and stop- ping the motor. In this condition the A+ circuit co K-102 is also broken, so it is now impossible to apply B+ to the transmitter by using the push-to-talk: bucton until another operating channel is selected. (g) STARTING FROM “OFF” POSITION- ‘When first curning on the equipment, it is essential thac the tubes be warmed up and in operation before the control tbe operates, in order to prevent possible mis- tuning. To provide sufficient delay in heating the contol tube filament relays K-403 and K.404 have been incor. porated in the power junction box. Relay K-403 is con: rected in the B+ line of che transmitter. The conteol tube filament is not connected to A until eelay K-404 is closed. 407 Section IV Porographs 3b(4Ng)—3e(2Ke) I. When the other tubes are sufficiently heated to draw full plare current, relay K-403 closes. The closing of its contacts energizes relay K-404, (See fig. 4-14.) a. One contact of this relay connects it rectly to A+, locking it in the operated position as long, as the equipment remains on. The same contact connects, the control tube filament to A+ allowing it to start heating. B.A second contact shorts relay K-403 in order to remove the voltage drop through it. 2, During the warm-up period, the transmit- ter B+ relay K-102 is held in an energized position by the normally closed contacts of K-118, When the tubes have heated sufficiently, they draw plate current and operate the time-delay relays in the junction box, which apply A+ to the control-tube heater circuit. When A+ is applied to the control-ube heater circuit, K-118 is energized, breaking the circuit to K-102 which opens and removes B+ from all of the transmitter except the control-tube circuit. This prevents the transmitter from overheating in case of control tube failure 3. By this system the control tube is not per- mitted to start heating until all the other tubes in the equipment are warm, thus insuring that the RF cubes are operating before the control tube, This is necessary to prevent improper operation of the automatic tuning system.

It is set in motion when relay K-201 is energized as a result of changing channels or starting from an “OFF” position, (0) The shaft of the motor terminates ia a worm ear which meshes with a gear on a horizontal shaft directly below the chassis. (See fig. 4-22.) The gears are covered with a metal housing. This housing is shown in the photograph of the transmitter worm gear, which is an identical assembly. (See fg. 4-10.) (©) The gear shaft is located parallel to the side of the chassis. The shaft end, toward the front, ter nates in a flat metal disc. This is the dtiving disc of the clutch assembly. (See fig. 422.) (4) Directly opposite the face of this driving disc is an identical disc. (See fig. 4-22.) Its face is nor- mally separated from the driving dise by approximately 0.008 of an inch. This is the movable disc of the clutch assembly. It is mounted on the end of a longer shaft, on the same center line as the short worm gear shaft an supported by two brackets. The rear support bracket an integral part of the solenoid relay, which is fastened to the underside of the chassis. The support towards the front of the set is a casting. Between these two supports, mounted around the shaft is a spring. This spring exerts about 4 pounds pressure on the shaft, pushing it toward the front of the set. The clutch disc therefore is held tightly against the face of the bracket, which is faced with @ friction disc. This forms an effective braking action on the shaft so it cannot turn until the clutch dise is released. (e) Between the two brackets and adjacent to the front one is the arm of the solenoid relay. It is yoked around the shaft in such a manner that when the relay is energized and its magnetic pull draws the arm toward the rear of the set, it moves the shaft to the rear. In so doing, the spring is compressed and the clutch dise sep- arated from the facing on the rear bracket, thus releasing the brake, (See fig. 4-22.)
