21、VALUE OF A REGULATED LINE SECTION (ON A SYMMETRIC PAIR LINE, A COAXIAL LINE OR A RADIO-RELAY LINK) After the routine measurement or clearance of the fault and when it has been ensured that no faults remain on the system, adjustments should be made as necessary to bring the levels of the line pilots

22、and additional measuring frequencies as close as possible to their nominal value. Making the whole adjustment in the receiving terminal station should be avoided; adjustments should be made where they are necessary, under the direction of the control or sub-control station concerned. Methodical read

23、justment should be carried out when the level measured at the terminal station exceeds the maintenance limits for the carrier system. Due allowance should be made for measuring errors and for random effects which may cause slight short-term variation. The tolerance to be allowed depends on the type

24、of system, its length and the periodicity of the measurements. For example, the following tolerances may be allowed: a) b) in the case of a system with continuous gain control an adjustment should be made only if an improvement of at least 0.3 dB can be obtained; in the case of a system with step-by-step gain control allow a permissible tolerance of f (one-half the gain control step f 0.3 dB). 306 Fascicle IV.l - Rec.
