Read and understand the AudioScope operating instructions manual pn. 230231- 2. The information in this Service Manual is subject to change without notice and should not be construed as a commitment by Welch Allyn. Welch Allyn assumes no responsibility for any errors that may appear in this manual.
______________________________________________________________________ 1.2 Limited Warranty Welch Allyn warrants the AudioScope, when new, to be free of defects in material and workmanship and to perform in accordance with the manufacturer's specifications for a period of one year from the date of purchase from Welch Allyn or its authorized distributors or agents.
AudioScope II) There are two versions of this second type. AudioScope3 pn 23300 - 20, 25, 40 dB (1000 Hz PT) The original version of the AudioScope 3 (three hearing level) up to and including serial number 969999 utilizes an ASIC module. This instrument is calibrated by adjusting miniature potentiometers on the printed circuit board.
Page 10
All previous models were calibrated using mechanical potentiometer. Calibration of all types of AudioScopes is explained in this manual. If the ASIC fails on an AudioScope 3, the whole board will be replaced with the new board containing the digitally adjustable Microcontroller. This board will fit the AudioScope3 with no modifications.
