Dated 27 feb 1995
Connector : D25 male

U.S. Army Part No 1115/116
+Brooke Clarke, N6GCE
Description

It measures 7 5/16" x 2 3/4" x 4 9/16" tall.
On the bottom is a DB-25(m) connector and on the top there is an access
screw to a trim pot.
Inside there are 4 double sided 6 5/8" x 2 1/4" printed circuit boards.

The top of the can has a date of 24 FEB 1994.

The A2 board says "Control Science Corporation"

Note:  When seperating the boards it's possible for the socket pins to
 fall out.  Since all locations are not used it may be very difficult to get
 them back into the correct holes.

There are two kinds of pins for the Bendix connector, one type solderes
 to the board and has a pin going down and a socket pointing up.  The other type
 solderes to the board and has a pin going down but is short without any socket.
  All installed pins make a connection to the PCB & Bendix connector below, but
 only some connect to the board above.

Best Guess as to function

    Based on the below observations I think this is an audio tone generator
 where the tone is selected by digital relay coil logic inputs to the DB-25
 connector and the output is on one of the DB-25 pins.  With 11 relays there
 might be 10 or 11 different tones available.  Or maybe a binary sequence of
 tones where there are 2E11 possible tones?

    The crystal is not ovenized so this is not a very high stability source, but
 a crystal would provide better stability than an RC type audio oscillator.  The
 adjustmet pot on the top board is not for triming the crystal which has it's
 own glass trimmer, unless the pot is for fine trimming and the glass cap is
 coarse tuning.

    DB-25 pins 1 to 11 are relay coil -15 VDC inputs with 12 being the common
 +ground
    DB-25 pins: 15, 17, 20, 21, 24 and 25 are power supply related.
    DB-25 pins: 13, 14, 22 and 23 have no connection (nc).
    DB-25 pins  16, 18 and 19 have an unknown function, at least one is an
 output

    DB-25 pin 12 is the common for all the relay 1030 Ohm coils.  It takes 12
 VDC to jsut trip the relay and abut 15 VDC for solid operation.  With a 1 k Ohm
 coil they pull about 15 ma.

Best Guess at powering up

    The Logic supply appears to be + 7 VDC @ 270 ma on DB-25 pin # 24 and the
 ground return on DB-25 pin # 25.  This causes the yellow wire on the pass
 transistor to be at 5.2 VDC.

    But the two model 1682 +/- 25 VDC converters are not getting any input,
 hence they don't have any output.
    Maybe one of the 3 unknown pins is some type of enable that activates the
 +/- 25 VDC converters?

    Level 0
    The lower Aluminum plate that holds the DB-25 plug also has a metal box with
 three wires going to it, purple is ground and a purple not ground and yellow,
 most likely a power supply pass transistor.  There is a Bendix Scintilla 30 pin
 socket and all the printed circuit boards have a similar socket with both male
 and female connection so that they can be stacked.  The Bendix part number of
 this one is 10-299812-30.

 shield connected by wire to ground.  The Level 2 PCB has a mix of 8 ICs and
 discrete analog components as well as a crystal marked 1M000000 (maybe 1 MHz).
 Adjacent to the crystal is a glass variable capacitor.  There are 8 2N222
 transistors each surrounded by a cap, 3 resistors and a diode.  and a couple of
 metal can op amps.

    Level 3 Board A2 CSC p/n C-005
    Level 3 and Level 4 PCBs are enclosed in a metal shielding can.  The Level 3
 PCB has 3 relays and a number of high Q capacitors, a couple of tublar caps
 marked .99 MFD 100 V.D.C and a couple of smaller ones marked 9100+/- 1% and
 others marked 91000+/- 1% and many more smaller ones.  Two glass piston trimmer
 caps also on the end of this board.

    This board only has capacitors and relays, no active components.

    The Relay coil common is Bendix pin #20 like on the level 4 board and the
 three coils are on Bendix pins 2,3 and 19

    Level 4 Board A1 CSC p/n C-004
    This is the top PCB that has the trimmer pot that can be accessed through
 the screw in the top outer cover.  There are 8 relays on this layer and by each
 one there are high Q caps.  It appears that the main purpose of this board is
 to switch caps.  A MDI Modular model 1682 DC to DC converter is also on this
 board, +in, -in, Trim, Output, -25V, Com, +25V are the labels. Another of these
 is on the lowest PCB.

    There are no ICs on this board only 1 each RCA 2N2905 and RCA 2N2102
 (connected as a diode) transistors.  The DC module -IN connection does not show
 up on the Bendix connector.
