[time-nuts] FW: Model # FE2040B

Mon May 11 13:30:01 UTC 2020

Greetings,

Thanks for the comments.

Attached ate some pictures of this unit.  

I have not looked inside (yet) The other outputs 
appear to have been directly related to the 10 MHZ value.  

I have NOT attempted to adjust anything yet.  It has been on 
about 6 days mot and reand 10000209.91 down from 10000367.00 
when first turned on.  The two red wires come from separate 3 
terminal ?? voltage regulators.  So perhaps the oven is open?

Gordon,

Out of curiosity, what variety of standard is it?

Greeting to the timekeepers,

I have just acquired a Frequency Electronics FE2040B Frequency Standard.
It has been off for a long time.  It is mounted on a small chassis 
with a power supply And BNC connectors.  Has outputs labeled 10 Mhz. 5 
Mhz, 1 Mhz and 500Khz.
One BNC is labeled 5 Mhz IN.  It is operational and the 10 Mhz is high 
but coming down.
It has SMA connectors with short cables going to the BNC outputs.  
Some SMA connectors are not connected.
It has been on for about 12 hours now and does not seem to have an oven.

I am seeking  a manual or schematic for this unit.

Any thoughts appreciated.

Just a thought, and it is just a thought never having come across one of
these before....

If it doesn't seem to have an oven, does it seem to have any obvious
enclosed oscillator module?

If it's "only" the 10MHz is high, I'm making an assumption here, is it
possible that the 5MHz input is used to condition a 10MHz oscillator

that's taking time to settle, whilst the other outputs are taken either
directly from the 5MHz input or divided down from it?
