    8 troubleshooting tips - output failures after a catastrophic failure, it is likely that the main supply fuse will be blown. Replace the fuse and very slowly bring up the variac while monitoring line consumption. It is likely that substantial line current will be pulled due to shorted output parts. ...

    9 you must perform the following leakage test before returning the unit to your customer. Take every safety precaution to protect yourself while doing this test. 1. Make a small loading rc circuit as shown in the diagram below, and connect the ac volt meter between the ac power source ground and any...

    10 bias and test procedure after the unit has been repaired, the following should be done to assure long term reliable operation. If a distortion analyzer is present, distortion specifications should be verified. 1. Adjusts bias in both channels (r51 & r60) for 30mv +/- 2mv at bias test points (j5 &...

    11 circuit theory much of the circuitry in the m•800 is self explanatory from the schematics. This section will explain the unique circuits and architecture. Samples in this section will refer to channel-1 for circuitry that is identical on both channels. Input circuitry the signal path begins at th...

    12 transient) the output stage is allowed to drive even higher amounts of current. This is accomplished by ac dividers consisting of r26, r76, c16 and r75, r87, c21. C17 and c20 provide for high frequency stability of the limiter, and d22 and d25 isolate this stage from the rest of the amp, when not...

    13 to further insure stability of the amplifier, the output node is de-coupled from the load via l5, r187-r189. The values of these parts have also been selected to ensure good transient response (i.E. Square waves look like square waves, so the amplifier doesn’t sound unnaturally bright). The outpu...

    14 the fan speed increases in the following instances: · when the heatsink is above 86°c. Comparator u5b’s output switches low when the heatsink-mounted temperature sensor’s output voltage increases to 860mv (86°c). The output of u5b is coupled to the fan controller via d80. Note: hysteresis for the...
