Re: [time-nuts] EFC divider resistors

Hi OCXO’s with separate ground for the oven have indeed been made. They do show up in catalogs and on data sheets. Customers don’t buy them….. The same is true of the other approach, which is to bring out a separate (isolated) EFC return. Bob On Jan 31, 2014, at 11:14 PM, Hal Murray

[time-nuts] Replacement fan in SR620

2014-02-01 Thread Magnus Danielson
Fellow time-nuts, I heard the fan in one of my SR620s and it didn't really was a nice sound. Has someone found a good replacement fan? Quieter would be nice. Considering performance checks and calibration this evening. Cheers, Magnus ___ time-nuts

[time-nuts] EFC divider resistors

2014-02-01 Thread Perry Sandeen
All,   The REF 102 from TI is a +10 reference with a TC of 2.5PPM/max. Using two 1% 50 PPM metal film Xcion resistors on can make a +5 V regulator that is far superior to a 7805.  Cost is about $7 from mouser.   If one needs to have an adjustable resistor in a circuit perhaps one of the digital

Hello The Net, I just got in the counter and the fan is always ON, even with the front panel switch OFF. I looked in the manual but could not find anyway to change this. The counter has the standard internal 10 MHz reference, but I will be using a Trimble T'bolt GPS/DO for the external

According to the manual (in several places): *It is normal operation for the fan in the Counter to continue to run after the Counter is* *placed in Standby mode. Power to the timebase is continuous to maintain long term* *measurement reliability, and the fan helps maintain timebase temperature

[time-nuts] How to open solder-sealed OCXOs?

2014-02-01 Thread Stewart Cobb
What's the best way to open an OCXO in the typical solder-sealed tinned steel can? I don't mind destroying the can itself, as long as the innards are not harmed. The goal is to run some experiments with thermal impedance as discussed here last week, and to ovenize parts of the EFC controller for
