Re: [time-nuts] hp 5245L counters with 10544 and 10811 OCXOs

Tom,

I'm very grateful for your immediate response, and all that you sent me. 
The last four PDFs are exactly what I need to understand and troubleshoot 
the ailing adapter board.  This is my first experience with Time Nuts, and 
I'm impressed.


Again, many thanks!
Loney

Loney,

You'll find the schematic for the 05245-60033 adapter board at the bottom

Gentlemen:

I have two 5245L counters which appear to have had a field mod where the 
original 1 MHz cylindrical oven standard has been replaced by the 10544 and 
10811 10 MHz ones.  Both counters have late 4-digit serial prefixes.  Both 
of the standards plug into an interface circuit board that, among other 
things, appears to have a divide by 10 circuit to produce a 1 MHz output to 
the counter’s oscillator card as the old cylindrical oven standard did. 
This card for both has an hp p/n 5245-60033.


My 10811 counter works well, but the 10544 unit has a troublesome 
intermittent problem that appears to be on the board.  I cannot find a 
schematic and parts list for this board to troubleshoot and repair it. 
These probably were on a change insert into the counter Service Manual, but 
I’ve yet to find one.  Have checked on Keysight’s website with no success.


Would anyone in this group possibly have these, or point me to an archive 
that would?  I very much would like to have the 544 unit function.  I have 
observed that after many decades of aging, a lot of the old original oven 
standards are out of adjustment range, while my 544 and 811 OCXOs can still 
be adjusted.


Thanks very much for your advice.
