THEORY OF OPERATION 502C Controller The following provides an overview of 502C electrical operation. Equalization curves are refer- enced and are located at the end of this section. Additionally, the 502C block diagram and schematic should be referenced as required. 1.
THEORY OF OPERATION 6. Output stage NOTE: The components mentioned in this paragraph are for the high frequency output only. The output stage is compatible with balanced signal transmission systems. Inverting op-amp stage U9 (pins 1, 2, and 3) provides the output signal. Diodes D9, D10, D29 and D30 provide output clamping to protect against overvoltage and ESD.
Page 55
THEORY OF OPERATION Troubleshooting Tips (continued) With a nominal AC power input voltage (100, 115, or 230, depending on the country), the AC voltages at the transformer secondary between P3-1 and P3-3 should be 41.3 Vrms. With a cold (i.e.-room temperature) power transformer, you should expect primary and second- ary resistances of: For the 100 VAC version: between P2-1 and P2-2: 41.8 Ohms...
