Study Notes

Operating Procedure of Interphone System-803

Adjust selector switch on control box number-1 and gunner control box number-2 to power on.
Ensure light mesh is audible in earphones for proper functioning.
Volume control must be adjusted according to crew needs.
All crew members can communicate; seated member should hear his own side tone.
Sending and receiving can occur via control boxes when selector is on 889 or 892.
Commander uses control box number-1 for external communication, with switch set to 889 or 892 for transmission.
Gunner adjusts selector for common listening when crew needs to talk to the commander.
Control box number-3 allows operator and driver to communicate with the commander in emergencies.

Operating Procedure VRS - 889

Wear helmet with laryngophone pressed closely to throat and earphones fitted properly.
Secure helmet with elastic to minimize noise during tank movement.
Connect helmet plug to chest switch set to ‘reception’.
Control box number-1 must be set to 889 and box number-2 to Inter Communication.
Power supply must be switched on; frequency window lights up.
Turn squelch circuit switch clockwise; earphones should produce noise.
Ensure ‘frequency unlock’ and ‘mismatch indicator’ lamps are off.
Check operating conditions: receiving mode at 'PS' and '+5V', should indicate 250 + 20.
For transmitting mode, set switch to '24V' and expect 250V +20 indication.
Power switch for high/low mode should indicate 150A to 500A.
Channel changing should lead to automatic adjustment of antenna tuning unit.
Adjust squelch to suppress noise without turning it all the way to end.
Wait one second after establishing squelch to transmit to avoid distortion.
Adjust power mode to match communication range, avoiding prolonged use at high temperature.
If used in low temperatures, power on radio set prior to communication for a few minutes in receiving mode.

Part-5.a Routine Operating Maintenance

Conduct thorough checks of radio set and accessories, including antenna and its base before and after communication.
Ensure shock mounts are intact and crew helmets are fastened securely.
Use operating check switch and meters on the panel to confirm normal radio operation; address abnormalities.
Maintain a ratio of transmission to reception at 1:3, limiting each communication session to 5 minutes.
Clean the equipment after use and log operating time.

Preventive Maintenance

Conduct fault checks after every 500 hours of use.
Repeat the operating procedure to identify faults; prior faults necessitate sending the set to workshop.
Store unused sets in a dry, draft-free environment.
Measure electrical characteristics of long-stored sets prior to use; adjustments made if specifications not met.
Ensure proper functioning of squelch, volume, and antenna tuning unit.
Avoid switching off power supply in transmitting mode or changing the power selector switch during transmission.
