PROTECTION CIRCUIT
For some 6 to 10 seconds after the receiver is
switched ON, no sound will be heard. This is
due to the operation
of protection
circuits
which
are
designed
to safeguard
transistors
and
speakers
from
possible
damage
due
chiefly
to switching transients,
etc. Should
|
the
receiver
remain
silent
for
considerably
longer
than this, switch
off and check
the
Speaker
system
connections.
Should
the
receiver
suddenly
go
silent
while
you
are
listening
to it, and
a continuous
series of
"clicks"
can
be heard
from
relay contacts
opening and closing within the receiver, this
can be an indication of a short circuit in the
speaker system connections.
Switch off, and
re-check the speaker system impedances, etc.
The protection circuit re-sets itself automat-
ically, so that normal operation is resumed as
soon as the fault is corrected.
