The Hammarlund CU-10A manual provides detailed instructions for setting up and operating the Telephone Remote Control unit, including connecting to telephone lines, adjusting audio levels, and using the unit as an intercom or for remote transmitter control. It also includes troubleshooting guidance, such as adjusting the squelch control and ensuring proper jumper connections for various control functions.
Manual Overview
The Hammarlund CU-10A Telephone Remote Control Unit manual provides detailed instructions for technicians on troubleshooting, diagnostics, calibration, and adjustments. The unit is designed for remote control of transmitters via telephone lines, allowing for flexible antenna placement. Key troubleshooting involves checking the function switch positions: “off,” “standby,” and “transmit,” which control the unit’s operational state. Error diagnostics are aided by indicator lights; the amber light signals intercom or remote mode, while the red light indicates active transmission. Calibration includes setting the transmitter audio level using an internal resistance DB meter across specified terminals, adjusting for a .6-volt reading. The manual advises on board-level guidance, including the use of jumpers for various control configurations and the importance of correct impedance settings via the Hi/Low switch for microphone compatibility. The CU-10A’s versatility allows it to function as a bridging amplifier, accommodating multiple units in parallel without impedance issues. Proper installation requires connecting telephone lines to designated terminals and ensuring all tubes are correctly placed.
Quick Issues Covered
- Diagnose power-up failures with input power checks at 117V AC.
- Adjust transmitter audio level using chassis-mounted control.
- Use schematics for circuit tracing and jumper connections.
Overview
The CU-10A Telephone Remote Control is a versatile, high-quality unit designed for use with telephone lines to control a transmitter from distant locations. It allows the antenna to be placed in an optimal area for better coverage, even if the dispatcher is in a less favorable location. The unit is housed in a durable steel cabinet with accessible controls and indicators on the front panel. It is designed to work with the RA-10A Remote Control Adapter, adapting communications units for telephone line control. The CU-10A can function as a standard remote control unit or as a bridging amplifier when multiple units are used in parallel. It supports communication over radio tie lines up to twenty miles, depending on signal attenuation. The unit includes features like remote squelch control, microphone input options, and a function switch for different operating modes.

Controls & Indicators
The front-panel of the CU-10A Telephone Remote Control unit includes the speaker, receiver controls, indicating lights, and a function switch. The function switch has three positions: “off” (extreme left), “standby” (center), and “transmit” (extreme right). The receiver volume control and squelch control are also on the front panel, with the volume control at minimum in its extreme counterclockwise position and the squelch control at tight squelch in its extreme counterclockwise position. An amber light indicates when the unit is in intercom or remote position, and a red light indicates when the transmitter is on the air.
Installation / Setup
The installation of the CU-10A Telephone Remote Control involves connecting the unit to telephone lines at terminals 1 and 7 on the terminal board TB101. Ensure all tubes are in place before operation. The Hi/Low impedance switch on the rear skirt should be set according to the microphone used. The power switch should initially be in the “off” position before plugging the line cord into an AC power receptacle. The unit is designed to work with the RA-10A Remote Control Adapter and can be wired as a standard remote control unit or as a bridging amplifier. The terminal board is accessible for telephone line connections and various application jumper configurations.
Operation
The CU-10A Telephone Remote Control is designed for use with telephone lines to control a transmitter from distant locations. It allows the antenna to be positioned for optimal coverage while the dispatcher may be in a less ideal location. The unit is housed in a durable steel cabinet with accessible controls and indicators on the front panel. It works with the RA-10A Remote Control Adapter to adapt communications units for telephone line control. The CU-10A can function as a standard remote control unit or as a bridging amplifier when multiple units are used in parallel. The function switch has three positions: “off,” “standby” (for intercom use), and “transmit” (activating the transmitter when the microphone’s press-to-talk switch is pressed). The receiver volume and squelch controls are adjustable, and the unit features a Hi/Low impedance switch for microphone operation. The CU-10A is operated by connecting it to telephone lines, setting the controls to the desired positions, and using the microphone to communicate.
