Page 8: Output Transistors Testing And Replacement
Output Transistors Testing and Replacement PLEASE NOTE THAT THESE TESTS ARE ONLY EFFECTIVE ON BIPOLAR TRANSISTORS. DO NOT PERFORM THESE TESTS ON MOSFET DEVICES, AS THEY ARE LIKELY TO BECOME SHORT DURING THE TEST. You should check all pin combinaisons, as there is a chance that only one side of the transistor is short. When replacing outputs transistors, the technician should first disconnect both outputs and main board to check if the blown outputs were caused by a faulty component on the amplifier’s base. -
Page 9: Calibrations And Adjustments
Calibrations and Adjustments Bias adjustment: Note: Bias adjustment should be made without any load connected to the amplifier’s output, and no signal connected to the amplifier’s input. 1. Connect a multimeter to one of the emitter resistor leads and set the multimeter to mV scale. 2. -
