4.2. FLOATING - SYMMETRY Immediately after setting the idle current, a symmetry check of the floating voltage has to be performed. The power amplifier has to be operated in idling condition. DC-volt meters have to be connected between the measuring points 1 - 2, and 2 - 3. Using the FLOATING-trim potentiometers that are located on the printed board assembly 86207/86211, the floating voltage is set symmetric to the ground potential.

5.2.2. LIMITER FAST/SLOW-Test • tests have to be performed for both channels of the power amplifier individually: testing has to be performed without load resistors connected. Drive the power amplifier with a burst signal (f = 1 kHz, 1-10 cycles, rate: ≈ 0.5 sec.) and U(E) = +10 dB above the nominal input voltage.
