[time-nuts] FTS 1000B OCXO from a FTS 4040 CS

[Stanley Reynolds]

Looks like my 5030 package is a 5Mhz ocxo version of the FTS 4060 described on pcr68.com.
Hand written note on ocxo indicates 74 degrees at 41ma guessing this is Centigrade operating temp.

Was unable to adjust to 5Mhz, 4.9999752 was the best I could get with external pot. Internal pot has no effect, assume it is disconnected when external is present ? Was not hard to dissemble, the oven is not warm but has 29 volts maybe problem in the control circuit. Does anyone have any info I could use ?

I have downloaded a 4040B operation manual but it is not that similar to the 4040. This unit uses a 1802 RCA microprocessor so is much older than the B model, think it uses a 68xx type processor.

I have no manuals for the FTS-4040 and been unable to connect a PC to the 9 pin monitor/sync connector on the back, I need the pin out and perhaps a older monitor program as I only have monitor 2 and monitor 3 programs.

What I can see of the ocxo outside:

Has 2 SMA RF out connectors and a 9 pin D connector
inside:
Oven was inside a glass vacuum bottle with layers of foam insulation to close one end.
2 MTH15N20 transistors to heat the oven
temp sensor on a small separate pc board part #56219-03909 REV A attached to oven
main board not insulated is part # 56219-06802-00 REV D
