Section II. DESCRIPTION AND TABULATED DATA
1-7. Description.
a. General. This section contains the functional
description of the ballistics computer system and
components and their relationship to the fire control
system.
b. System Functional Description (Fig 1-1 and 1-2).
The computer system is used with laser range finder
AN/VVG-2 on the M60A3 tank to introduce gun laying
corrections into the primary direct fire control system
and provide control inputs to the stabilization system.
The computer system receives analog voltage
representing target ran from the laser range finder and,
after applying corrections, provides (1) a shaft rotation
representing corrected elevation, (2) two analog
voltages representing correct deflection, and (3) two
analog voltages representing elevation and deflection
for t stabilization system. Shaft rotation applied to the
super elevation actuator a ballistics drive. Deflection
analog voltage are applied to the reticle projector and
laser range finder mirror.
These outputs can be corrected for crosswind, horizontal
target motion, ammo characteristics, altitude, air
temperature, gun wear, gun jump (zeroing), gun sight
parallax, and trunnion cant (stationary tank only).
Crosswind corrections are made automatically by
a crosswind sensor mounted on the outside of the tank
or manually using the controls on the gunner's control
unit (GCU). Crosswind sensor output is continuously
monitored by a fail detector network which automatically
inhibits its operation and lights a SENSOR FAIL
indicator on the GCU if a failure occurs. Data for
horizontal target motion is derived from a rate
tachometer driven by the turret ring gear in power mode
(or stab azimuth gyro in stab mode). Output from the
rate tachometer or gyro is fed to a sample and hold
circuit. When the LEAD/LOCK signal from the gunner's
or commander's handles control (not part of the
computer system) is received, the sample and hold
network develops a signal proportional to the turret
angular rate averaged over one second.
Change 2 1-2
TM 9-1220-239-34
Correction for ammo characteristic is obtained by
depressing one of four push buttons located on the
gunner's or commander's ammo select unit (ASU). The
la button depressed, regardless of unit, control the
system. Four ammo types are selectable at the ASU.
Selection of an ammo type causes the computer unit to
develop specific ballistic and dynamic lead angle data
for the target range. This data is summed with
(corrected for) altitude, air temperature, gun wear, gun
jump, and gun sight parallax data as applied by the
gunner on the GCU. An additional correction for gun
trunnion cant be applied when the tank is stationary
using a switch on either ASU. All data processed in
analog form. Elevation data applied to the output unit
and tank stab system. The output unit, in turn,
translates the data to a shaft rotation which is applied to
the superelevation actuator and ballistics drive.
Deflection data is applied to the reticle projector and
tank stab system via or servo loop and to the laser
rangefinder via second servo loop. Data applied to the
reticle projector and laser rangefinder are used to shift
or displace the horizontal position of the gunner's
periscope reticle and LRF azimuth mirror relative to the
target image. Thus, when a shifted reticle is again laid
on target, the main gun is positioned to provide the
correct amount of target lead.
(1) Computer unit. The computer unit is the central
data processing unit of the M21 computer system. This
unit receives various analog voltages from the sensors,
the laser rangefinder and the gun stabilization
electronics. (The latter two are not part of the M21
computer system.) Discrete level signals are received
from the ammo select unit and the gunner's control unit.
These signals are processed to give analog signals
proportional to elevation and deflection corrections. The
computer unit also conducts self-test of the system on
command from the gunner's control unit.
(2) Gunner's control unit. The gunner's control unit
is the main operator interface with the M21 computer
system. The gunner may input corrections for air
temperature,
Figure 1-2. M21 computer system functional diagram.
Change 2 1-3
TM 9-1220-239-34
altitude, gun tube wear, crosswind (manual, elevation
zeroing, and azimuth zeroing. Either manual ranging or
laser ranging may also be selected. A NORMAL-
BORESIGHT switch provides a range adjusted parallax
correction for boresighting. System self-test may be
performed at any time using the
LAMP/NORMAL/SYSTEM switch.
(3) Ammo select unit. The two identical ammo
units are provided with the M21 ballistics computer
system, one for the gunner and one for the commander.
By depressing a switch, the gunner or commander may
select one of four types of ammo. A switch on the
bottom of each unit controls the cant unit
(4) Rate tachometer. The rate tachometer
produces an analog voltage proportional to the angular
velocity of the turret relative to the tank hull. This
voltage is applied to the computer unit to provide target
lead when a switch on the gunner's control handles is
depressed.
(5) Cant unit. The cant unit contains a pendulum
which positions a precision electronic resolver to
measure the gun trunnion cant angle. Output from the
unit modifies other ballistic corrections to compensate
for the angle of the tank. When the ammo select unit
MOVING indicator is lit, the cant unit is bypassed.
(6) Crosswind sensor probe. The cross-wind
sensor probe provides a voltage proportional to the
average component of wind at normal to the line-of-
sight of the gunner's periscope. This voltage is applied
to the computer as a correction factor if the
AUTO/MANUAL switch is in AUTO position. If the
switch is in MANUAL position, the gunner may input his
best estimate of wind velocity.
(7) Crosswind sensor mast. The crosswind sensor
mast provides mechanical support for the crosswind
sensor probe unit.
(8) Output unit. The output unit converts the
electrical elevation solutions from the computer unit into
mechanical shaft rotation for use in the ballistics drive of
the primary fire control system, and in the
superelevation actuator.
c. Power Distribution. The tank battery system
supplies 24 vdc power to the gunner's control unit where
the power is filtered and fed to the computer unit. A
power supply in the computer unit then provides various
levels of dc signals for the logic networks, operational
amplifier power, lamp drivers, and individual unit power
requirements. An REF generator provides two ac
signals: 5 vrms, 400 Hz, in-phase and 5 vrms, 400 Hz,
180 degrees out-of-phase. These reference signals
provide the ac voltages for the self-test mode of
operation.
A power amplifier produces a 115 vrms, 400 Hz
signal for power requirements the reticle projector unit
and the laser rangefinder. An interlock system
precludes item operation when certain units are
connected.
d. Circuit Card Assembly (CCA) Functional
Description. The CCA functions together with the
source and destinations of their inputs and outputs are
described below. Schematic diagrams of the CCA's are
located the rear of this manual.
(1) Power supply - inverter, 15V regulator CCA A1
(fig FO-1). The A1 CCA generates the following
voltages for use in the computer system:
Voltage Use
+15 Vdc Operational amplifiers
-15 Vdc Operational amplifiers
+5 Vdc T2L logic circuits
+30 Vdc Wind sensor power
+24 Vdc Lamp indicator lights
The +13V, received from A2 CCA, is applied to a
DC-to-AC inverter, a saturable inductor oscillator which
converts the +13V a 400 Hz signal. The 400 Hz signal
is then plied to transformer T1. The 400 Hz signals
appearing on the secondary windings the transformer
are then rectified by full-wave rectifiers and distributed
throughout system. The +15V and -15V outputs are
regulated.
(2) Switching regulator and reticle project-amplifier
CCA A2 (fig FO-2). The A2 CCA contains the reticle
projector amplifier circuit and the +13V switching
regulator circuit.
The AC REF 2 signal, received from A4 CCA, is
amplified and clipped to a square wave by the amplifier-
clipper. During negative half-cycle of the input signal,
output of the amplifier-clipper goes positive and is
applied to one half of the push-pull driver. During the
positive half cycle of the input signal, the output of the
amplifier-clipper goes negative and is applied to the.
Change 3 1-4
TM 9-1220-239-34
inverter circuit. The inverted output (positive) is applied
to the other half of the push-pull drive. The output at the
push-pull driver circuit, is coupled through step-up
transformer T
2
and sent to the reticle projector unit
(RPU) as the 115V, 400 Hz power source.
(3) Reticle projector and elevation servo driver CCA
A3 (fig FO-3). The A3 CCA contains the output unit
elevation servo driver circuit and the reticle projector
servo driver circuit.
The E PWR AMP 1 and 2, receive from CCA A6, is
applied to an OR gate consisting of CR1 and CR2, and
to amplified AR3. If E PWR AMP 1 signal is low with
reference to E PWR AMP 2 signal, the sign is coupled
through OR gate diode CR1 to the inverting input of
amplifier AR1. The output of amplifier AR1 goes high
and is applied the non-inverting input of amplifier AR2.
The high output of amplifier AR2, function as a follower,
turns on switch control Q which turns on +24V switch
Q1-Q2. With +24V switch turned on, the +24V COMP 3
voltage is applied to the reverse and forward direction
switch/driver pairs, Q4-Q6 and Q8-Q10. At the same
time, the high E PWR AMP 2 signal is applied to the
inverting input amplifier AR3. The output of amplifier
AR3 goes high and turns on forward direction
switch/driver Q5-Q7. With switch/driver Q5-Q7 turned
on, a ground reference is applied through parallel
connected resistors R35 and R36, switch/driver Q5-Q7,
parallel connect diodes CR7 and CR15, to one end of
the dc motor in the output unit. The ground reference
output of the forward direction switch/driver Q5-Q7 is
also applied through diode CR12 to the reverse direction
switch/driver Q9-Q11. This low signal will turn off the
reverse direction switch/driver Q9-Q11. The reason this
happens is that the forward direction switch/driver Q5-
Q7 and the reverse direction switch/driver Q9-Q11 are
connected in a differential amplifier configuration. With
these switch/drivers connected in the differential
amplifier configuration, the reverse direction
switch/driver Q9-Q11 is always biased on by the +24
FILTERED power source when the E PWR AMP 1 and 2
signals are not present. The would cause the output
unit's dc motor to be continuously driven in the reverse
direction if the +24V COMP 3 power source was not
switched by the +24V switch Q1-Q2.
The other end of the dc motor in the output unit is
connected through forward direction switch/driver Q8-
Q10 to the +24V switched power source. This causes
the dc motor to rotate in the forward direction until a
feedback signal (not part of this CCA) causes the E
PWR AMP 1 and 2 signals to equalize. When the
signals are equal, the +24V switch Q1-Q2 is turned off
to stop the motor rotation. To drive the output unit's dc
motor in the reverse direction, the E PWR AMP 2 signal
is low and applied through the OR gate diode CR2 to the
inverting input of amplifier AR1. The rest of the circuit
functions the same way as previously described to turn
on the +24V switch Q1-Q2 to apply the +24V switch
power source to the forward and reverse switch driver
pairs, Q4-Q6 and Q8-Q10.
The high E PWR AMP 1 signal is applied to the
inverting input of amplifier AR3. The output of amplifier
AR3 goes low and holds forward direction switch/driver
Q5-Q7 off. This allows the reverse direction
switch/driver Q9-Q11 to go full-on, which applies a
ground reference through resistors R35 and R36, the
reverse direction switch/-driver Q9-Q11, diodes CR10-
Q16 to one end of the dc motor in the output unit. The
other end of the dc motor is connected through the
reverse direction switch/driver Q4-Q6 to the +24V
switched power source. This causes the dc motor to
rotate in the reverse direction until a feedback signal
(not part of this CCA) causes the E PWR AMP 1 and 2
signals to equalize. When the signals are equal, the
+24V switch Q1-Q2 is turned off to stop the motor
rotation.
The overload detector AR4, connected to the
common emitter resistor circuit, senses any excess
current drawn by the dc motor and turns off switch
control Q3 which turns off the +24V switch to remove
the power source from the motor.
The reticle projector servo driver circuit receives
the D PWR AMP signal from CCA A6. The D PWR
AMP signal, an AC signal, is applied to the inverting
input of amplifier AR5. The output of amplifier is
transformer coupled to push-pull driver Q12 thru Q15.
The output of the push-pull driver, D SERVO MOTOR 1
and 2 signals, is sent to the reticle projector unit. The D
SERVO MOTOR 1 and 2 signals are out of phase with
an ac reference signal applied to the reticle projector
unit ac
1-5
TM 9-1220-239-34
motor. The D SERVO MOTOR 1 and 2 signals will
drive the motor until the signals are in phase, stopping
the motor. The direction of the motor rotation is
determined by whether the phase of the D PWR AMP
signal into the reticle projector servo driver is leading or
lagging the phase of the ac reference signal applied to
the ac motor in the reticle projector unit.
(4) Lead, windage, and reference CCA A4 (fig FO-
4). The A4 CCA contains a target lead and windage
circuit and a voltage reference generating circuit.
The sine wave output of the self-starting, phase-lock
loop, 400 Hz oscillator is applied to the inverting input of
inverter AR3 and to the MR generator. Output of
inverter AR3 is distributed in the system as the AC REF
1 signal and also applied to inverter AR4 and
demodulator AR5. Output of inverter AR4 is distributed
in the system as the AC REF 2 signal, which is 180
degrees out-of-phase with the AC REF 1 signal.
The MR generator, driven by the sine wave output of
the 400 Hz oscillator, generates the MR1 and MR2
signals that are distributed in the system. The signals
are 180 degrees out-of-phase, square wave signals that
are varying from +15V to -15V. The MR1 signal is also
applied to the demodulator. When the MR1 signal is
positive, FET switch Q7 is turned on and grounds the
non-inverting input of demodulator AR5, causing it to
function as an inverter. At the same time, the sine wave
output of inverter AR3 is negative and is applied to the
inverting input of AR5. The output of AR5 goes positive
and is applied to amplifier/filter AR6. When the MR1
goes negative, FET switch Q7 is turned off to remove
the ground from the non-inverting input of AR5, which
now functions as a follower. AT the same time, the sine
wave output of AR3 is positive and is applied to the non-
inverting input of AR5. The output of AR5 again goes
positive and is applied to amplifier/filter AR6, which
smoothes the pulsing dc inputs to fixed +10V output that
is distributed in the system. The +10V is applied to the
inverting input of inverter AR7. The output is a fixed -
10V that is distributed in the system.
The MR2 output of the MR generator is applied to
the 400 Hz oscillator where it is compared with the AC
REF 1 signal to stabilize the frequency of the oscillator,
thus forming the phase-lock loop circuit.
When the target tank is moving, the turret
tachometer rate signal (w
DT
) is coupled through
normally on FET switches Q18A and Q14 to AR8 of the
sample and hold (integrator) circuit. Capacitor C5
charges up to the level of the w
DT
dc voltage which is
dependent on the turret speed. The LEAD LOCK 2
signal from either the gunner's or commander's handle
control when satisfied of a smooth tracking rate is
applied to the inverting input of inverter AR15 and to OR
gate CR6. The output of inverter AR15 goes low to turn
off FET switch Q14 to block any further input of the
turret tachometer rate signal. At the same time, the
output of OR gate CR6 turns on FET switch Q22. With
the FET switch on, the output from the sample and hold
(integrator) circuit is coupled to summing resistors R66
and R67 where the signal is summed with the wind
velocity (V
W
)signal and an ammo constant (K
W
)signal
from K
W
constants U1. The ammo constant signal is
dependent on the type of ammo selected. The summed
signal from resistors R66 and R67 is applied to the
inverting input of amplifier AR9. The output of AR9 is
applied to the T
F
slave multiplier. The other inputs are
the T
S1
and T
S2
signals from the T
F
master multiplier.
The input to the T
F
master multiplier is an epsilon ()
signal and the range (Ro(AC)) signal called the time of
flight (-TF) signal. The (-T
F

)multiplier uses the -T
F
signal to generate the TS1 and TS2 signals which are
180 degrees out-of-phase. The amplitude of the TS1
and TS2 signals are constant but the pulse width varies
according to the amplitude of the -T
F
signal. The TS1
and TS2 signals control the T
F
slave multiplier, which
has the effect of multiplying the -T
F
(time-of-flight)
times the w-K
W
V
W
signal to produce the (w-K
W
V
W
)
TF1 signal. This signal represents the turret angle rate
(omega) minus the ammo dependent constant (K
W
)
times wind velocity (V
W
) multiplied by the time of flight
(-T
F
).
If the M60A3 tank is moving, moving tank mode is
selected, applying a high MT signal for one input of the
AND gate consisting of diodes CR13, CR14, and CR15.
The other inputs to the AND gate are the high BIT signal
since the system is not in the self-test mode, and the
high output of level shifter Q23 when the stabilization
mode is selected. The high output of the AND gate is
applied to inverter AR13 and FET switch Q19B. The
low input of inverter AR13 turns off FET switch Q18A to
block the input from the turret tachometer (
DT
).
Change 3 1-6
TM 9-1220-239-34
The high output of the AND gate turns on FET switch
Q19B. With switch Q19B turned on, the turret angle
rate input ( DG1 and ( DG2) is from the stabilization
system gyro. These signals are coupled through
amplifier AR14, FET, switch Q19B, and FET switch Q14
to the sample and hold circuit. The rest of the circuit
operation is the same as described when the turret
tachometer angle rate signal (
DT
) was used.
During the system self-test operation, neither the
turret tachometer nor the stabilization system angle rate
signals are used. The BIT signal, which is low when the
self-test mode is selected, is applied to and turns off
FET switch Q21. Turning off switch Q21 changes the
sample and hold (integrator) circuit to an amplifier circuit
by removing capacitor C5 from the circuit. The low BIT
signal is also applied through diode CR11 to turn off
FET switch Q18A, blocking the turret angle rate input.
FET switch Q19B is normally biased off and the angle
rate from the stabilization system gyro is blocked. At
the same time, the high BIT signal is applied through an
OR gate consisting of diodes CR5 and CR6 to turn on
FET switch Q22. The high BIT signal also turns on FET
switch Q19A. The angle rate signal input is now the
output of w
R
reference constant U2 that is dependent on
the type of ammo selected. This causes the generation
of the (-K
W
V
W
) T
F
signal of a fixed value that is
checked daring self-test to determine a GO or NO-GO
situation.
(5) Superelevation and drift CCA A5 (fig FO-5).
The A5 CCA generates the super-elevation (epsilon)
and azimuth (eta) signals that are sent via CCA A6 to
the cant unit to be resolved through turret roll angle
(cant) from earth reference to tank reference.
The altitude (RoP1 and RoP2 signals) and the air
temperature (RoTA1and RoTA2 signals) are dialed in on
the gunner's control unit (GCU) and applied to amplifier
AR7 and AR11, respectively. The output of AR7 is
coupled through normally on FET switch Q4B to
summing circuit AR8, R40 through R43. The output of
AR11 is coupled through normally on FET switch Q5B to
the same summing circuit. The Ro WEAR (IN) (gun
barrel wear) signal, dialed in on the GCU, is applied to
the inverting input of amplifier AR12. The output of
AR12 is coupled through normally on FET switch Q6B,
multiplied by the ammo dependent gun wear K
G
w
constant from circuit U1 and applied to the inverting
input of AR13. The output of AR13 (nonstandard
muzzle velocity, RoV) is applied to the summing circuit
AR8, R40 through R43 and also to subtractor AR1, R1,
and R2. An additive correction is made to muzzle
velocity to correct for British APDS ammo, when
selected by Beta () constant circuit Q10B.
The fourth input to the summing circuit consisting
of amplifier AR8 and resistors R40 through R43 is the
range signal that is coupled through amplifier AR6. The
range signal is either from the laser rangefinder via the
GCU or dialed in on the GCU. The four signals
(altitude, air temperature, non-standard muzzle velocity,
and range) are summed to produce the Ro(1+M) master
multiplier signal that is applied to demodulator circuit
AR9, Q10A, R51 and C5. The DC output of the
demodulator circuit is applied to the Ro(1+M) master
multiplier. The master multiplier functions as a time
division multiplier with the outputs (RS1 and RS2
signals), which are equivalent to the Ro(1+M) input
signal) controlling two Ro(1+M) slave multipliers. The
output of the master multiplier has a duty cycle that is
proportional to the amplitude of the input signal.
The muzzle velocity correction (RoV) is subtracted
from the range Ro(AC) signal (subtractor circuit AR1) to
produce the Ro(1-V). This signal is applied to Ro(1+M)
slave multiplier No. 1. The Ro(1-V) output is also
multiplied by an ammo dependent constant from A
constant circuit U4 and applied to summing circuit
AR14. The Ro(1+M) slave multiplier No. 1 multiplies
the Ro(1+M) signal from the master multiplier and the
Ro(1-V) to produce the Ro (1-V) (1+M) signal. This
signal is applicable to the slave multiplier No. 2. The
signal is also multiplied by an ammo dependent
constant from B constant circuit U3 and applied to
summing circuit AR14. The second slave multiplier
multiplies the Ro(1+M) from the master multiplier and
the Ro
2
(1-V) (1+M) from slave multiplier No. 1 to
produce the Ro
3
(1-V) (1+M ). This signal is multiplied
by an ammo dependent constant from C constant circuit
U2 and then applied to summing circuit AR14. The
output of the summing circuit is the epsilon
(superelevation) signal. The epsilon signal is also
multiplied by an ammo dependent constant from K
D
Change 3 1-7
TM 9-1220-239-34
constant circuit U5 and applied to summing circuit
AR15. The output of the summing circuit is the eta
(azimuth) signal.
(6) Output CCA A6 (fig FO-6). The A6 CCA
amplifies the superelevation (epsilon) and azimuth (eta)
signals that are sent to the cant unit resolver to be
resolved through turret roll angle (cant) from earth
reference to tank reference and returned to CCA A6
where they are combined with jump, zeroing, and
parallax signals to produce the elevation and deflection
signals for the sights.
The epsilon signal is received from CCA A5 and
applied to summing circuit AR1. The minus epsilon
output of the summing circuit is applied through resistor
R18 to the inverting in put of amplifier AR2. The output
(CRS1) of the amplifier is applied to the stator winding
(S1S3) of the resolver in the cant unit. The feedback
signal (CRC1) from the compensation winding around
the stator winding is summed with the drive input to
amplifier AR2 to provide accurate angular resolution
over temperature.
The azimuth (eta) signal is received from CCA A5
and applied to the inverting input at amplifier AR11.
The output (CRS2) of the amplifier is applied to the
stator winding (S2-S4) in the resolver. The feedback B
signal (CRC2) functions the same way as for the minus
epsilon stator circuit. During normal operation FET
switch Q1A is biased on grounding resistors R11 and
R67 to inhibit the RX input to amplifiers AR2 and AR11.
The rotor shaft of the cant unit is connected to a
pendulum. The pendulum, which swings with the roll
angle of the turret, rotates the rotor shaft. The rotor
position is resolved with the elevation and azimuth
stator winding inputs and applied to FET switches Q3B
and Q6A, respectively. These FET switches are
normally on if the moving tank (MT), boresight (BS), and
system test (BIT) modes are not selected. The resolved
superelevation (CRR1) and azimuth (CRR2) signals are
coupled through respective FET switches to summing
circuits as the minus epsilon and plus eta signal,
respectively.
The epsilon signal is summed with the -J
E
(elevation jump), -Z
E
(elevation zeroing), and parallax
constants (correction for displacement in elevation
between gun position and gunner's sight) to generate the
elevation command and (ELEV) signal. This signal is
summed with the output unit elevation motor shaft
feedback position (E in) signal and demodulated to a dc
signal. This dc signal is summed with the output unit
elevation motor shaft rate feedback (E in) signal to
generate the drive signals (E PWR AMP 1 and E PWR
AMP 2) for the dc motor in the output unit. The motor
shaft position feedback (E in) signal is also sent to the
gun stabilization system to move the gun towards its
proper position in elevation to minimize the amount of
manual elevation required to re-aim on the target.
The azimuth (+ eta) signal is summed with the J
D
(deflection jump), Z
D
(deflection zeroing), and parallax
constant (correction for displacement in azimuth
between the gun position and gunner's sight) to generate
the deflection command (-D) output of amplifier AR13.
This signal is summed with the reticle projector unit
azimuth motor shaft position feedback (D FEEDBACK
IN) signal, and the azimuth motor shaft rate feedback (D
IN) signal. The resultant signal is coupled through a
phase shifter that is referenced to the 400 Hz MR1 and
MR2 signal. The phase corrected signal is amplified
and sent to a power driver on CCA A3 whose output
drives the reticle projector unit's ac motor. The reticle
projector unit's motor shaft rate feedback (D IN) signal is
also demodulated to a dc voltage and sent to the turret
stabilization system as the (D OUT) signal to deflect the
turret to the proper position in azimuth to minimize the
amount of manual azimuth deflection required to re-aim
on the target.
When the moving tank mode is selected, the low
MT signal is applied through an OR gate consisting of
diodes CR19 and CR18 to the inverting input of
amplifier AR16. The cant enabled output (CE) goes
high and turns on FET switch Q6B to pass the + eta
(azimuth) signal, and turns on FET switch Q3A to pass
the minus epsilon (superelevation) signal. The output of
AR16 is also applied to the inverting input of amplifier
AR17. The output (CE) goes low to turn off FET
switches Q3B and Q6A. The same switching action
takes place in both the boresight (BS) and system self-
test (BIT) modes.
Change 3 1-8
TM 9-1220-239-34
Turning off switches Q3B and Q6B prevents the
resolved output of the cant unit from causing errors in
the elevation and azimuth circuits while the tank is
moving, during boresight, or while performing a system
self-test.
In the boresight mode, not only are the cant unit
outputs and the jump and zeroing inputs inhibited, but
the superelevation (epsilon and azimuth (eta) signals
are also blocked. This means only the parallax
constants have any effect on the output drive circuits.
The parallel constant (-I/R) varies as a function of the
rang signal (RoDC). This means that it is possible to
boresight any of the sighting devices controlled by the
computer system at any range, within the computer's
operating limits.
During the BIT (system self-test) mode, known
reference inputs are injected into the elevation and
azimuth channels to generate expected superelevation
and azimuth outputs. Again the cant unit is bypassed,
but a fixed reference signal (RX) is supplied to the cant
unit motor stator windings and the rotor outputs are
checked for errors. The elevation jump and zeroing
input and the azimuth (deflection) jump and zeroing
inputs are also inhibited in the BIT operation
(7) Ammo select CCA A7 (fig FO-7). The A7 CCA
generates a logic signal that selects the ammo
dependent constants enable the computer to compute
ballistic drift, time of flight, and gun barrel wear for each
different ammo type.
The ammo type is selected on the ammo select
unit (ASU) and the relate signal, AS9 (APDS), AS10
(HEAT), AS11(HEP/WP), and AS12 (FSDS), is received
the A7 CCA. These signals determine the logic signal
generated for use in the computer computation. Since
the circuit operation is basically the same for all the
ammo's, only the operation is described for the FSDS
ammo.
The FSDS push-button is pressed on the ASU to
generate the AS12 signal received the A7 CCA. The
signal is coupled through the ammo select gates to the J
inputs of flip-flops U5A and U5B. The signal is also
applied to the reset/start decoder circuit who output
resets the counter U6. The MF signal (400 Hz signal) is
continuously applied to the CP input of counter U6.
Until the counter is reset by the output of the reset/start
decoder, the MR1 signal has no effect on the counter.
After resetting, the MR1 signal clocks the counter 16
times, at which time the counter overflows and the TC
(terminal count) output clocks flip-flops U5A and U5B.
The AS12 (FSDS) signal at the J input of both flip-flops
is clocked to the Q output of each. These two outputs
are decoded by the ammo decoder gates and inverters.
The decoded FSDS signal is applied to lamp driver Q12
and switch Q13. The output of Q12 (FSDS LAMP) is
sent to the ASU to light the FSDS indicator. The output
of Q13 (AS4) is distributed throughout the computer for
use in the ammo dependent constant circuits.
The A7 CCA also provides the signals to light the
MOVING or STATIONARY indicators on the ASU. If the
moving tank mode is selected, the MT turns on driver
Q2 to light the MOVING indicator. If not, the MT signal
is turns on driver Q3 to light the STATIONARY indicator.
The A7 CCA also supplies the BIT ENABLE 2
signal to the A6 CCA when either the APDS or HEAT
ammo is selected, generating the BIT ENABLE 1 signal.
The BIT ENABLE 1 signal is applied to the non-inverting
input of amplifier AR1, which is functioning as a
follower. The BIT ENABLE 1 received from the A6
CCA. The BIT ENABLE 1 signal is generated on the A6
CCA by either the AS1 or AS2 signal. The AS2 signal is
generated in the GCU by the AS8 (HEAT) signal.
(8) Self-test CCA A8 (fig FO-8). The A8 CCA is
used during the system self-test (BIT) mode to check
the operational status of components that make up the
computer system. During the test, known reference
signals and constants are injected into the system and
the A8 CCA checks the results. The check is made by
comparing two signals by comparing a signal with a
fixed reference, or by summing a number of signals and
comparing the result with a fixed reference. If a
component fails, signals are generated and sent to the
GCU to turn off the SYSTEM OK indicator and to light
the corresponding component fail indicator.
The RPU reticle position feedback (D FEEDBACK
OUT) and the output unit motor position feedback (E
FEEDBACK OUT) are applied to differential amplifier
AR4. The output of AR4 is demodulated to a dc voltage
Change 3 1-9
TM 9-1220-239-34
and applied to a comparator. The output of the
comparator is the FB (feedback) OK signal which is
normally high. The feedback signals should be equal for
the FB OK signal to be high. If they are not equal, the
FB OK signal will be low and is detected by the fail
detection circuit. At the same time, the output unit
motor drive signals (E MOTOR 1 and 2) and the RPU
motor drive signals (D SERVO MOTOR 1 and 2) are
applied to differential amplifiers AR15 and AR13,
respectively. The E MOTOR 1 and 2 signals are dc
voltages, whereas the D SERVO MOTOR 1 and 2
signals are ac voltages. The output of AR5 is compared
by a balanced diode bridge error comparator. The
output of the comparator, which is normally high, is the
OU OK signal. This signal is checked by the fail
detection circuit. The output of AR13 is demodulated to
a dc voltage and applied to an error comparator. The
output of the comparator is the RP OK signal, which is
normally high, and is checked by the fail detection
circuit. The combination of a feedback signal and a
motor drive signal failure will be detected by the fail
detection circuit and a signal will be generated to control
the corresponding indicators on the GCU. For example,
if the RPU failed, the D FEEDBACK OUT signal would
cause the FB OK signal to go low and the D SERVO
MOTOR 1 and 2 signals would cause the RP OK signal
to go low. The fail detection circuit detects these two
signals and generates the low RP FAIL signal to light the
RETICLE PROJECTOR indicator on the GCU. At the
same time, the SYSTEM OK signal goes high to turn off
the SYSTEM OK indicator on the GCU.
If the output unit failed, the E FEED-BACK OUT
signal will cause the FB OK signal to go low and the E
MOTOR 1 and 2 signals will cause the OU OK signal to
go low. The fail detection circuit detects these two
signals and generates the low OU FAIL signal that lights
the OUTPUT indicator on the GCU. At the same time,
the SYSTEM OK signal goes high to turn off the
SYSTEM OK indicator on the GCU.
The cant unit and driver electronics are checked
by summing the stator inputs signals (CRS1, CRS2), the
rotor output signals (CRR1, CRR2), the superelevation
signal (minus epsilon), and a fixed reference signal (Rx).
The sum of all the signals should equal zero within a
tolerance )and. The output of the summing circuit is
demodulated to a dc voltage applied to a comparator
that checked for the positive and negative limits of the
tolerance band. If the sum of the signals exceeds the
positive limit, the driver electronics has failed and the
normally high RD OK signal goes low. The fail detection
circuit detects this low signal and generates the low
COMP FAIL signal that lights the COMPUTER indicator
on the GCU. The SYSTEM OK signal also goes high to
turn off the SYSTEM OK indicator.
If the sum of the signals exceeds the negative
limit, the cant unit has failed and the normally high CU
OK signal goes low. This low signal is detected by the
fail detection circuit to generate the signal that lights the
CANT indicator and turns off the SYSTEM OK indicator
on the GCU.
The COMPUTER indicator will also light f there is
a loss of dc voltages (except a loss of +24V LAMP) or
ac voltages.
The GCU is checked by applying a reference
voltage (AC REF 1) to both ends of the jump and
zeroing pots. The output of each pot, is each ammo is
selected in the self-test mode, as compared to a
reference level. Before being compared, the signal is
demodulated to a dc voltage. The output of the
comparator is the normally high GCU OK signal. If one
of the pots is open or shorted, the GCU OK signal goes
low. This low signal is detected by the fail detection
circuit and generates the low GCU FAIL signal hat lights
the GCU FAIL indicator on the GCU. The SYSTEM OK
signal also goes high to turn off the SYSTEM OK
indicator on the GCU.
The range signal, Ro(AC), from the rangefinder
via the GCU, is demodulated to a dc voltage and
applied to a comparator. The dc voltage is also sent to
the A6 CCA as a dc range signal, Ro(DC). The output
of the comparator is the normally high R OK signal.
This signal is sent to the A10 CCA to generate the RF
OK signal that is received sack by the A8 CCA. The
MDE (mirror drive !electronics) OK signal is also
received from he A10 CCA. If the rangefinder fails or
the rangefinder mirror drive electronics fails, the RK OK
or the MDE OK signal goes low. The fail detection
circuit detects this low signal and generates the low RF
FAIL signal that lights the RANGE FINDER indicator on
the GCU. The SYSTEM OK indicator is also turned off
on the GCU.
Change 3 1-10
TM 9-1220-239-34
(9) Wind electronics CCA A9 (fig FO-9). The A9
CCA provides either the automatic, manual, or BIT wind
reference for computation in the computer. The A9
electronics interface with a hot wire bridge anemometer
(wind sensor probe) mounted externally on the tank.
When the system is first turned on, no voltage is
applied to the probe bridge circuit and the input to
amplifier/integrator AR1 is zero. The turn-on bias circuit
provides the voltage input to amplifier/integrator AR1.
The output of AR1 is applied to the pulse width
modulator, which functions as a variable duty cycle
generator. The other input to the modulator is the
sawtooth waveform from the master oscillator. The
output of the modulator is applied to power driver Q3.
Also, when the system is turned on self-starting
restart multivibrator AR5 applies a trigger to the
shutdown circuit. The multivibrator is on for 3
milliseconds and of for 300 milliseconds. The output of
the shutdown circuit turns on the +30V switch Q2 and
Q3. With the +30 switch turned on, the +30 volt wind
sensor power is applied to the power switch. The output
of the power switch (AC signal) which is controlled by
the output of the pulse width modulator, is applied to the
filter/rectifier circuit. The filtered output is applied to the
hot wire bridge circuit. The output of the power driver is
also coupled through capacitor C7 to the halfwave
rectifier circuit. The dc output of the halfwave rectifier is
applied to the shutdown circuit. This causes the power
driver loop (consisting of the power driver halfwave
rectifier, shutdown, and +30V switch circuits) to latch up.
The shutdown circuit turns off the +30V switch if
the duty cycle of power driver Q4 increases to 100
percent, on all the time. This prevents damage (burn-
up) of the hot wire elements (resistors) in the wind
sensor probe.
As the bridge circuit's excitation voltage builds up
to its normal operating point, the BRIDGE 2 signal
output from the bridge circuit increases and back biases
the diode in the turn-on bias circuit to inhibit the turn-on
voltage.
When a crosswind exists from either direction, the
resistance of temperature sensitive resistors R
V1
and
R
V2
decrease because of the cooling effect of the wind.
Depending on the wind direction, one of the resistors
decreases more than the other. Decreasing the
resistance causes the bridge circuit to unbalance. This
unbalance is sensed by the amplifier/integrator circuit.
The output of the amplifier/integrator causes the width of
the pulse out of the pulse width modulator to increase.
This increases the on time of power driver Q4, which
increases the voltage supplied to the bridge circuit to
balance it again, zeroing the input to the
amplifier/integrator.
The crosswind magnitude is sensed by an
amplifier in the probe. The output of the amplifier is
received by the A9 CCA as the SIG A signal. This
signal is applied to a function generator producing a
linear output Sig -A which is then applied to the inverter/
follower AR7.
The wind direction is determined by resistors R
V1
and R
V2
. The BRIDGE 3/SIG B and SIG D signals
represent the wind direction. Since one of the resistors
decreases more than the other, one of the signals will
have a higher potential than the other with the wind from
one direction. If the wind changes, the signal levels will
also change with respect to each other. The two signals
are applied to differential amplifier AR8. The output (dc
voltage) of AR8 is applied to mixer/driver AR10. The
mixer/driver combines the dc voltage with the
squarewave signal from the master oscillator. The
output of the mixer/driver controls FET switch Q7. FET
switch Q7 determines whether inverter/-follower AR7 is
functioning as an inverter or a follower. If the FET
switch is on, AR7 is functioning as an inverter,
representing the wind for one direction. With the FET
switch OFF, AR7 functions as a follower, representing
the wind from the opposite direction. The output of the
inverter/follower is applied to filter AR9, AR11 which
removes any changes in the signal that are caused by
gusts of wind. The output of the filter is coupled through
normally on FET switch Q8A and distribution as the V
W
(wind velocity) signal. This signal represents the wind
direction and speed.
If the wind sensor probe should fail or get
damaged, the manual wind mode is selected on the
GCU, generating the MW and MW signals. The MW
signal is coupled through an OR gate consisting of
diodes CR34 and CR35 to turn on manual wind switch

Q8B. The wind signal is manually dialed in on the GCU
and coupled through switch Q8B to be distributed as the
V
W
signal. The MW signal is coupled through an OR
gate consisting of diodes CR31, CR32, and CR33 to turn
off FET switch Q8A.
During BIT (system self-test) opera-ion, the wind
signal is generated by the BIT wind circuit when the BIT
signal is received from the GCU.
(10) Mirror drive servo electronics CCA A10 (fig FO-
10). The A10 CCA supplies the motor drive signals for
the commander's azimuth mirror positioning servo to
position the reticle in azimuth.
The A10 CCA sums the reticle projector azimuth
command (-D) signal with azimuth parallax correction
signals from the parallax constant circuit. The parallax
constant signals are generated at all times except when
the BR(L) (Battle Range Laser) signal is received from
the laser rangefinder. The BR(L) signal turns off FET
switches Q1A and Q1B to inhibit the parallax correction
signals. The parallax signals correct for displacement
between the gunner's sight and laser sight. The
summed signal (DL) is then summed with the motor
shaft position feedback (DL FEEDBACK) signal and
then applied to a noise rejection filter. One output of the
filter is summed with the motor shaft rate feedback (DL)
signal and applied to the power amplifier to generate the
MDM1 and MDM2 motor drive signals. The other output
of the noise rejection filter is applied to a comparator.
The output of the comparator is applied to the fail
detection circuit.
The MDM1 and MDM2 signals are also applied to
a differential amplifier. The output of the amplifier is
demodulated to a dc voltage and applied to a
comparator whose output is applied to the fail detection
circuit.
During the system self-test (BIT), the fail detection
circuit checks the output of both compactors and the
RANGE OK signal to determine if the motor driver
electronics and the laser rangefinder are functioning
properly. If the electronics fail, the MDE OK signal will
go low to indicate a failure. If the rangefinder fails, the
RF OK signal will go low to indicate a failure.

2-3. Purging and Charging. The nitrogen purging and
charging procedure will be used a the completion of
maintenance on computes system components. These
procedures must be accomplished before returning the
units to the user, supply system or higher maintenance.
Table 2-2 provides instructions for set up of the nitrogen
purging kit and the necessary procedures for purging the
computer system components.
Table 2-2. Purging of Computer System Components
Step Action
WARNING
Dry nitrogen used in purging the computer system is an inert gas (will not support
combustion). The nitrogen bottle is colorcoded gray with two black stripes. Use
extreme caution not to mistakenly use some other type gas. Use only nitrogen
tank which is gray with two black bands. (6830-00-782-2641 BBN-411). Do not use
oil pumped nitrogen under any circumstances.
WARNING
Do not use nitrogen in a confined space or area. Nitrogen gas can cause
asphyxiation by displacing local oxygen supply. Nitrogen stored in tank may
exceed' 4000 PSI. Tank must be secured to a nonmovable structure or vehicle
when using or stored so as to minimize damage to tank valve if dropped.
Protective cap will be secured when stored or not in use.
NOTE
Three regulator assemblies are presently in use for purging and charging fire
control material. Purging kits will now contain Regulator 4820-00-001-7749.
Previous purging kits contained Regulator 4931-00-558-0922 or Regulator 4820-00-
724-9744, which require the use of adapters to secure the regulator to the nitrogen
tank and may require adapters to secure the hose to the regulator. If you have
Regulator 4820-00-001-7749, skip steps 4 and 5.
NOTE
If nitrogen tank has already been set up with regulator and hose attached, skip
steps 1. through 5.

FOR OVERSEAS SHIPMENT
2-5. General. To be furnished at a later date.
Section III. TROUBLESHOOTING
2-6. General.
a. This section contains the troubleshooting
information for locating and correcting troubles which
may develop in the computer system units. Each
malfunction for an individual unit is followed by a list of
tests or inspections which will help you to determine the
corrective action to take. You should perform the
tests/inspections and corrective actions in the order
listed.
b. This manual cannot list all possible malfunctions
that may occur, nor all tests or inspections and
corrective actions. If a malfunction is not listed (except
when malfunction and cause are obvious), or is not
corrected by listed corrective actions, notify your
supervisor.
c. Troubleshooting is performed by connecting the
computer system component in the applicable test setup
(para 2-4) and performing the associated checkout
procedure (para 2-4). Malfunctions noted during the
procedures can be isolated by referring to the
appropriate malfunction listed in table 2-6.
d. In the computer unit troubleshooting procedure,
CCA's A1, A2, and A7 must be operational before other
malfunction indications are valid. If the FTS indicates
an Al, A2, or A7 failure, replace these CCA's first, tag
the original CCA in the event that card replacement
does not affect repair. Units returned to higher
maintenance must contain original CCA's. Purge all
units (para 2-3) before returning to supply system or
higher maintenance.
e. Special tools and test equipment required during
troubleshooting are shown in table 1-1. Repair parts
and special tools, except fabricated special tools, are to
be requisitioned in accordance with TM 9-1220-239-
34P, which is the authority for requisitioning
replacements.
2-7. Troubleshooting Table.
a. General. Troubleshoot the computer system
components in accordance with table 2-6. Table 2-6
lists the malfunctions together with related tests or
inspections, and corrective actions. The corrective
actions provide instructions for correcting the fault,
reference to an appropriate paragraph for repair, or
instructions to return the defective assembly to the next
higher maintenance level. The troubleshooting table,
table 2-6, does not list malfunctions .which become
obvious through a simple visual check or those
malfunctions involving more than one component. See
your supervisor if malfunctions occur that cannot be
corrected. Malfunctions reported by the user should be
verified, if possible, by performing the associated
checkout (para 2-4).
b. Troubleshooting Notes.
(1) Prime power source. Check power source
occasionally to ensure adequate power, otherwise faulty
test results may be obtained.
(2) Test equipment and measurements.
Stated voltage values and other test point criteria are
based on the use of a 20, 000 ohm/volt multimeter
(URM 105 or equivalent). Test measurements are to
chassis ground reference unless specified otherwise.
Disconnect primary power for all resistance or continuity
checks.

Section II. REPAIR OF GUNNER'S CONTROL UNIT
3-3. Description (Fig 3-1).
a. The gunner's control unit (GCU) is the device
used to manually input data to the ballistics computer
system. The GCU receives manual inputs from the
control positions set by the gunner, electrical inputs from
the computer unit, and primary power from the tank
electrical system. The GCU outputs include ammo and
mode select signals, range and range correction signals,
filtered prime power for other system components, and
displays self-test status. The GCU is made from a one-
piece aluminum housing which includes the front panel.
Controls on the front panel are divided into two sections.
The upper section contains controls most frequently
used. The lower section controls are less frequently
used and are housed behind a hinged panel secured by
twist-lock fasteners.
b. A pressure tight rear cover and gasket provide
access for maintenance. Components mounted through
the housing walls are installed with gaskets that seal the
interior. A pneumatic valve and seal-screw installed
through the housing wall enable the interior to be purged
and pressurized with dry nitrogen gas. The interior of
the housing contains electronic components and
assemblies that function with the panel-mounted items.
A printed wiring circuit board mounted within the.
housing contains isolating diodes, integrated circuits,
and other electronic components. An 85-pin connector
enables the circuit board to be easily replaced if
necessary. A wiring harness interconnects the controls,
indicators, electronic components, and the circuit board
and terminates in two multipin connectors, which, in
turn, enable the gunner's control unit to be connected
into the computer system.

Section III. REPAIR OF AMMO SELECT UNIT
3-17. Description (Fig 3-15).
a. The commander's and gunner's stations each
has an ammo select unit (ASU) which is used to select
the ballistics computer corrections for ammunition type
and vehicle motion. The front panel of the ammo select
units contains four color-coded pushbutton switch-
indicators and two firing-tank mode indicators. A toggle
switch mounted on the bottom panel operates in
conjunction with the other ammo select unit to select the
moving or stationary vehicle mode. The last selection is
indicated on the firing tank mode indicators. A variable
resistor mounted on the top of the unit controls the
brightness of all indicators.
b. Tank MOVING mode causes the computer
solution to bypass the cant angle sensor, while tank
STATIONARY mode provides tank cant corrections. In
a tank, the two ASU's are interconnected in such a way
that the computer is in STATIONARY mode if both
toggle switches are in the same position, and in
MOVING mode if they are in opposite positions.
Operating either switch, one at a time, will change the
computer mode.
c. The test setup checks an ASU individually.
Setting switch toward front causes MOVING to light, and
setting switch to rear causes STATIONARY to light.
d. The unit is made from a machined aluminum
alloy casting. A rear cover and gasket provide access to
internal components, radio frequency interference
shielding, and pressure sealing. Components mounted
through the housing walls are installed with gaskets that
seal the interior. A pneumatic valve and seal screw
installed through the housing enable the interior to be
purged and pressurized with dry nitrogen gas. A
terminal board attached to the back panel supports
current-limiting resistors for the indicator section of the
switch indicators. A wiring harness interconnects the
controls and indicators and terminates in a multipin
connector which enables the ammo select unit to be
connected into the computer system.

Section IV. REPAIR OF COMPUTER UNIT
3-24. Description.
a. The computer unit is the data processing unit of
the computer system. The computer unit is a
preprogrammed analog computer that develops
elevation and deflection correction factors which are
used to modify gun aim. The computer unit receives
both digital and analog signals from the control units and
sensors. The signals are processed by the electronic
circuits of the computer unit to produce correction
factors appropriate to the ballistic parameters. The
computer unit generates a continuous output which is
updated instantaneously when input signals change.
b. The computer unit is constructed of a heavy-
weight, machined, aluminum alloy casting. The top and
bottom covers are similarly heavy plates bolted to the
housing through special sealing and electromagnetic
interference gaskets. Four multipin connectors mounted
on one end of the housing enable the computer unit to
be connected into the computer system. The
connectors are installed with gaskets that seal the
interior. A pneumatic valve and a seal screw installed
through the housing wall enable the interior to be purged
and pressurized with dry nitrogen gas. Ten circuit card
assemblies are mounted inside the housing. The circuit
card assemblies are connected to each other and to the
housing connectors through 50-pin connectors and a
wire-wrap terminal board.
Circuit card assemblies A1, A2, and A3 are high-power
boards and therefore incorporate heat sinks to dissipate
heat generated during operation. Two screw-actuated
plungers press each assembly heat sink against the
housing to facilitate heat dissipation. The plungers must
be loosened before the card assemblies can be
removed. The card extracting tool (item 6, table 1-1)
should be used when removing a card from the housing.
