ZETFR.


Met dit DOS-programma (zetfr.exe) kan de frequentie van de tuner zoals beschreven in De Kunstmaan April 1997 worden ingesteld. Voor help type:
zetfr -h

Download zetfr.exe (23k381)

Download zetfr.c (bronfile) (23k381)


Nieuwe zetfr met wat meer mogelijheden. Alle speciale bytes zijn evt. te specificeren: adres, control bytes, testbytes.
Download executable: zetfr_2.exe (30k)

Download bronfile: zetfr_2.c (9k)


EPROM-inhoud voor de nieuwe tuner-afstemming

(zie Kunstmaan nr. 3, Augustus 1998)

Voor tuner met XTAL=3.2 MHz:

Download zetf50.bin (binair)
Download zetf50.hex (intel hex)

Voor tuner met XTAL=4.0 MHz:

Download zetf625.bin (binair)
Download zetf625.hex (intel hex)

Schema ZETF. (Ontwerp: H. v. Deursen)

N.b.: Automatische initialisatie nadat voeding is aangesloten (C3) werkt niet altijd goed:

Tijdelijke oplossing: Schakel even naar andere frequentie en dan weer terug, nadat de spanning is aangesloten.

ZETFR.


With this DOS-program the frequency of the receiver as described in De Kunstmaan April 1997(Ducth) can be adjusted. To get help type:
zetfr -h

Download executable only: zetfr.exe (30k)

Download source only: zetfr.c (9k)


New zetfr with a bit more possibilities: (just if you have problems with the other one)
Download executable only: zetfr_2.exe (30k)

Download source only: zetfr_2.c (9k)


Another method to set the frequency is with a piece of hardware generating the appropiate code. The I2C-code is programmed in a EPROM. See schematic below.

Next part will be replaced.

EPROM-content for the receiver-tuner UV816.

For receiver with XTAL=3.2 MHz:

Download zetf50.bin (binair)
Download zetf50.hex (intel hex)

For receiver with XTAL=4.0 MHz:

Download zetf625.bin (binair)
Download zetf625.hex (intel hex)


Next chapter has TO BE CHECKED!!!

Using other tuners in the HPR137 receiver. (Arne v. Belle)

The UV816 tuner is not produced anymore, but Philips produces compatible tuners. Look for old TV sets from Philips and you will often find one of the tuners stated below. These type markings are printed in dot matrix style on top (opposite the connection-pins)

The UV916E/IEC is used as replacement for the UV816 and can be ordered in most Philips repair centers.
Barend Hendriksen now sells the UV916S, almost the same as the UV916E/IEC/ but with different I2C address.

Frequency table for the ZETF frequency control and all Eprom files, mentioned above:
ZETF Switch position HRPT/PDUS Mode switch Tuner receives frequency Downconverter receives Used by Sat
1 HRPT 141.0 MHz 1698.0 MHz NOAA 10,12,15
2 CHRPT 143.5 MHz 1700.5 MHz Feng-Yung 1C 1)
3 HRPT 145.5 MHz 1702.5 MHz Seatstar 2)

5 PDUS 134.0 MHz 1691.0 MHz MET5 (INDOEX) 3
6 PDUS 137.5 MHz 1694.5 MHz MET7
Notes: All frequencies stated are when using a downconverter that converts 1694.5 MHz to 137.5 MHz !

Modification for the UV916S:

The UV916S uses a Motorola synthesiser-chip instead of the commonly uses TSA5510 to TSA5514 range. This synthesiser does not support in-lock-detection, i.e. You can set frequency, but cannot confirm if VCO is actually locked on this frequency. The ZETF frequency controller doesn't use this feature, the PC control Qbasic-program zetf916s.bas is specially modified for this tuner.

Modification for UV916S, UV1216, UV1316:

These tuners don't have a +12V terminal anymore, all electronics work on the +5V supply. Therefore they don't have a +12V connection. As a result of this the AGC voltage, from the GAIN-pot, must be lowered. Connect the most right pin (see componentlayout, pin ?R?) from the GAIN-pot to +5V instead of +12V !

NOTE: Initialisation at power-up (C3) could give problems:

Work-around: Switch to another frequency and back, after power-up.
