[time-nuts] Unknown Efratom 10MHz Assy, information asked

[Richard H McCorkle]

The board you are describing is used in the Lucent RFG-M-XO reference
frequency generator. It takes in 10 MHz on J2 from a Rubidium oscillator and
disciplines the Efratom SC cut OCXO on the main board from the 10 MHz input.
The output from the OCXO is converted to 15 MHz and supplied as the
reference output on J4.
The RFG-M-RB and RFG-M-XO normally mount together in a chassis (which I didn
't get) and the modules are connected to the chassis by a harness with a
DB15 on the chassis end. The pin out for the harness is as follows:

DB15M     TO/Pin#                  Description
Pin #
1            RFG0 - P1-1            +24v 1.3A/0.6A
2            RFG0 - P1-2            Common
3            RFG1 - P1-1            +24v 0.6A/0.4A
4            RFG1 - P1-2            Common
10          RFG0 - J3-1             Alarm
11          RFG0 - J3-2             Alarm
12          RFG1 - J3-1             Alarm
13          RFG1 - J3-2             Alarm

A second interface cable ties the RB to the XO as follows:

RBJ5   XOJ5
Pin #    Pin#
1            5
3            3

The male DB9 is P1 and pin 1 = +24v @ 400ma, Pin 2 = Common. This will power
up the board so you can verify operation of the OCXO. Unfortunately that is
all the information I have on the unit.
Hope this helps.
