  • Page 3 With a working knowledge of what makes it "tick" the PM 2.0t is actually quite tame. Almost any problem encountered can be resolved with the low voltage tests outlined in this manual.

  • Page 5 CIRCUIT REFINEMENTS Because of transistor storage, rise and fall times the switchers do not turn on and off at the exact same time as the drive signals from the regulator IC. the turn off times are not fast enough, the main switchers could go into simultaneous conduction at full duty cycle or during the start sequence, greatly exceeding their current ratings due to the very high current rise time.
  • Page 6 · can be accomplished only by changing the entire power supply module. PM 2.0t AMPLIFIER CIRCUIT The power amplifier section of the 2.0t is very similar to the PM 1.5 series. The primary differences in the PM2.0t are input muting, the addition of a fourth power supply rail, the power supply shut down circuitry and...
  • Page 7 "replace the bad part and turn the variac up" repair methods are used. It is strongly recommended that this method of troubleshooting be used when performing any repairs on the control circuitry of the PM 2.0t. CAUTION THE PM 2.0t MUST NOT BE CONNECTED TO...

  • Page 9 With the power switch off, bring the Variac up to 120 Vac. There should be no current draw and the power LED should glow dimly. Reduce the line voltage to 95 Vac and turn the PM 2.0t ON. The power LED should glow brightly and the � supply itself should start within 15 seconds.
  • Page 10 For the remaining tests, replace the 1 amp AGC fuse with a 10 amp slow blow MDL type fuse. .m.u.st With the amplifier set for an output of 10 volts RMS, short the output of either channel. The power supply shut down and restart when the short is removed.
