(TH1) and once the SMPS is running, a relay (RLY1) closes over, shorting out the resistor and PTC and allowing normal operation. The bridge rectifier (BR2) is used with a bank of 6 1800uF/200V capacitors (C28, C29, C33, C34, C42 & C43), to produce 320V DC.
Overall voltage feedback of the amplifier is derived through R243 and R241. R242 and C20 provide local feedback around the Class A section only to define the dominant pole of the amplifier. C126 connected in series with R241 gives 100% DC feedback to minimize any DC offset at the output.
The Fan can run at two speeds, the changeover happening at about 55 ºC. R9 and ZD2 produce a reference voltage of 9.1V at the cathode of ZD2. This is divided by R18 & R19 to give about 5.5V at pin 12, the non-inverting input, which is compared with the temperature signal at pin13, the inverting input.
Pulse Checkout Procedures Observe all 1 Dissassembly for Service 1.1 Main Module Removal Remove the top cover by removing the two side, two back, and four top screws. Lift up slightly on the rear of the cover, and then pull it toward the back of the amplifier. Remove the eight screws that hold the input connectors to the chassis.

Otherwise continue. 4. If a failure has occurred anywhere in the output stages, check the bias servo transistor. Any failure associated with bias transistors may result in repeat failure of the affected channel even if all other defective components have been found and replaced.

Diagram 1. View from solder side of PCB. 3. Use a 60V DC bench supply (current limited). Connect it across C75 with +60V to point B and Gnd to point A (see Diagram 2). Fit a switch (switched off) across pins 4 and 5 of OPTO1 (be very careful, as a spark here will kill it).

Diagram 4. With your scope Gnd referenced to point D or A, switch on the DC supply. Wait a second and then switch the opto. The current should go up to about 110 mA. If it goes rather high you have a fault. 5.

6. Move the probe to monitor the waveform at the IGBT's marked E on Diagram 2. You should see a switching waveform similar to that shown below. 7. Some examples of incorrect waveforms are shown below, along with the likely area of failure. The waveform below is commonly caused by faulty ZTX650-ZTX750 transistors in the power supply.
Page 11
The waveform below is commonly caused by a faulty PWM transformer TX4. The waveform below is typical of an overdrive fault (2x1100 version only). This may be caused by a faulty IRF540 or in the BC546-BC556-BF422 transistors in the FET drive section. Or it may be a result of breakdown in the BF422 transistors in the driver stage (refer to Tech Note #165.)

8. All being well, connect another jumper wire from the +60V rail to the PCB point marked C on Diagram 2. Check the waveform from the output of the IGBT. To do this, monitor the middle pin of the IGBT marked F on Diagram 2. You should have a waveform similar to that shown below.

You have now determined that the power supply is running and that there are DC supplies being generated. You should now check the power supply using a mains supply input. 1. Remove all the connections used for the DC bench supply test. Be sure to remove the switch on the opto isolator -- if it's left in position and switched on, the power supply will not power up.

Diagram 4. Temporary resistor. 8. Replace the power cord and try the power supply again. It should start. You can measure the DC supply rails at the link points. 9. Switch off the unit and bridge the isolating links between the PSU and amplifier stages with solder. Switch on the unit. 10.
Now put the amplifier boards back into the chassis. Fit the minimum of screws to ensure good earthing. If there are any further problems, it is very frustrating to have to undo all the fixing screws again. The screw fixings we suggest are The two chassis earth points.
the checks listed in Section 2. These checks will minimize the possibility of receiving a nasty surprise when turning on the amplifier. 3.1 Initial Conditions The start of each step assumes all switches are pre-set to the following positions: Mode Switch: Normal position. Level Controls: Both up (clockwise) fully.

3.2.6 10-kHz Square Wave 10-kHz Sq. Wave Slew Rate Test 8-ohm Load With an 8-ohm load on each channel, insert a 10-kHz square wave and adjust amplitude to produce an output 10V below clipping. Observe a 50V/µS (or higher) slew rate. The output waveform should be stable with no ringing or over-shoot. WARNING: Many of the following checks are done by connecting a resistive load to the output of the amplifier.
