6 TEST AND MEASUREMENT
6.1 Introduction
This section provides information on testing GD30 and GD50 telephones. The layout is as follows:
1. Section 6.2 External testing: describes equipment requirements and general set up procedure.
2. Section 6.3 Complete Unit Test Setup: describes how the items of test equipment are used together and general set up
procedure.
3. Section 6.4 Channel box test commands: provides detailed explanation of the different commands available using the test
equipment and channel-box software.
4. Section 6.5 Adjustment mode: describes adjustments available on the GD30/GD50 handheld unit.
5. Section 6.6 Lock code: describes the procedure to check or reset the lock code using the Channel box software.
6.2 External Testing
The GD30/GD50 unit can be connected to a compatible personal computer for electronic adjustment and fault diagnosis. This
section provides a description of the equipment required to perform those tasks.
Testing and adjustment of the handheld unit can be performed with the outer case in place and the cradle connected. For in-
depth fault finding the unit should first be disassembled, as detailed in Section 4, and then the PCB Repair Jig used to connect
the PCBs together externally as they would be found in normal use. Fault tracing can then be performed on the PCBs using
suitable test equipment, such as spectrum analysers and oscilloscopes.
The unit must now be tested and calibrated for both frequencies (900 MHz and 1800 MHz) as well as for the two battery types.

Test Equipment Descriptions
1. Interface box,
Part Number: IFB003/IFB004
The Interface box provides:
a. IFB003: Voltage regulation for +7.2 V, +5.6 V or 4.8 V DC outputs. The +7.2 V switch setting is used as a supply to Li-
Ion type batteries (compatible for other products), the 5.6 V switch setting is used for PCB testing and the 4.8 V switch
setting is used for testing the complete unit
Interface Box IFB004 is a later version that provides +4.8 V, +7.2V and +8.2 V DC outputs. It also allows selection of
external power via the Interface cable.
b. RS 232 interface. Ensures that the Unit Under Test is supplied with the correct signal levels and format..

2. Personal Computer (PC)
The PC (IBM compatible) is used as a Unit Under Test controller. This in conjunction with the channel box software, allows
all of the test facilities normally provided through the keypad of the Unit Under Test.
