Part No. 001-3139-502
1.3.2 8000 SERIES RDM AND RVM ALIGN-
MENT
1. Connect an RF Signal Generator to Receiver Ant 1, 
set S1 to “ANT1”. (See Figures 2-3 or 2-5.)
2. Set the signal generator to the receive channel fre-
quency at an output level of 100 µV modulated with 
a 1 kHz tone at ±1.5 kHz deviation (±750 Hz for 
900 MHz).
3. On the RDM, set S1 sections 1-3 as shown in Fig-
ure 1-12 and reset the RDM. This disables the FSK 
gate and enables the Audio gate. (See Figure 2-8.)

4. On the RDM connect a Transmission Test Set to 
TP3 and adjust R29 for a meter reading of -20 dBm. 
If signal level is required to be reduced, do so 
evenly for the level settings of Steps 4 through 7 
(see Figure 2-8.)
5. Connect a Transmission Test Set to TP4 on the 
RDM and adjust R35 for -12 dBm.
6. On the RDM set S1, sections 1=Off, 2-3=On and 
reset the RDM by pressing S3 momentarily. This 
enables the FSK gate and disables the Audio gate.
7. Connect a Transmission Test Set to TP4 on the 
RDM and adjust R46 for -20 dBm.
8. On the RDM set S1, sections 1-3 On and reset the 
RDM by pressing S3 momentarily.
9. On the RVM connect a Transmission Test Set to 
the TP associated with the input port being used 
(see Section 6.8 and Figure 6-4.) Verify that this TP 
is self-adjusted in approximately 3 minutes to 
-20 dBm. 
Port 1 - TP2
Port 2 - TP3
Port 3 - TP4
Port 4 - TP5
10.On the RVM connect a Transmission Test Set to 
P1, pin 21 (on the back of the RVM) and adjust U44 
for approximately -17 dBm (see Note below). 
Record the settings of S2 in the RVM. 
1 ___ 2 ___  3 ___ 4 ___

Figure 1-14  U44 LEVEL ADJUST
NOTE: On the RVM adjust U44 by setting S2, sections 
1-3 as shown in Figure 1-18. To decrease the level set 
S2, section 4 “On” and to increase the level set to 
“Off”. Press S1 repeatedly until approximately -17 
dBm level is reached. Refer to NOTE 2 on next page 
concerning U44.
11.Disable or shut off the Signal Generator RF output. 
Disconnect the Signal Generator from the RDM. 
Connect the antenna cable coax to the Antenna 1 
input on the RDM (S1 should still be set to 
"ANT1").
