4. adjustments:

4.1 IDLE-CIRCUIT CURRENT ADJUSTMENT:

A DC-voltammeter has to be connected to the BIAS test points to adjust the idle-circuit current via the trimmer
on the printed board assembly 84169. Adjustment of both power amplifier channels L&R.
Adjustment test point 1 test point 2 U (DC) BIAS-trimmer
BIAS L CNSERV1.6 CNSERV1.7 4 mV VR301
BIAS R CNSERV1.2 CNSERV1.3 4 mV VR501
Adjustment of the idle-circuit current has to be performed under normal room temperature conditions. If the
power amplifier had been operated before, the appliance has to rest for several hours to cool off.

5
4.2 VCA - OFFSET:
You have to rhythmically open and short-circuit the CNSERV2.1 and CNSERV2.2 for the left channel
respectively the CNSERV2.3 and CNSERV2.2 for the right channel, that are located on the printed board
assembly 84169, and adjust the power amplifier output signals for minimal offset, using VR300 respectively
VR500 (using an oscillograph it has to be set for minimal peak or for audibly minimal loudness of the
interference pulse).

5. function test:
5.1 OUTPUT - offset voltage
DC-voltage measurement at the speaker outputs CHANNEL L/R with U (DC) < ±10 mV.

5.2 LIMITER:
5.2.1. attenuation test
Drive each channel with a 1 kHz signal until U (A) = 50 volts (no load). Increase the input voltage by 10 dB.
The LIMITER LED will light and the output voltage is increased by about 1 dB to 57 volts. The signal is
slightly driven into clipping with a distortion rate of the limited signal: THD = 1.0 % … 1.5 %. Further
increasing the input signal up to +20 dBu should not result in excessive higher clipping.
5.2.2. Attack and release
• test the amplifier channels separately: testing should be performed without load resistors.
1.) Drive the power amplifier inputs with a burst signal (f = 1 kHz, 10 cycles, rate: _ 0.5 sec.) and U (E) = +16
dBu.
2.) Observe the outputted signal via an oscilloscope. After 3 - 4 signal periods, the limiter attenuated the
"heavy" distortion in the beginning to a minor rest distortion (THD of 1.0 % … 1.5 %).
attack time: 3 - 4 ms
release time: 30 - 40 ms

5.3 CUT-IN DELAY:

After turning on the appliance using the power-on switch, it takes about 2 seconds until the input signal is
present on the power amplifier's outputs. The relay E2 on the printed board assembly 85266 bridges the NTC-
resistor for limiting the inrush current.

5.4 FAN CONTROL:

When switching the power amplifier on, the internal fan coolers will run for approximately 2 seconds.
Afterwards, they stop, provided that the power amplifier is "cold". During the power amplifier is operated with
no load (power on, no input signal), the ventilators switch back and forth between SLOW-mode and OFF-
mode, depending on the heat sinks' temperature. When unplugging the CN14 connector, the fans will run on
FAST speed. Ventilator-voltage –27 volts DC, measured between CNSERV1.4 and CNSERV2.8.

5.5 SOAR PROTECTION CIRCUIT TEST:

Drive each channel up to 45 volts with a load of 4 _. Connect a 1 _ resistor parallel. The protection circuit
responds and tries to re-activate continuously! The protect-LED lights. Repeat the test with a load of 2 _. The
power amplifier has to stay in operation.

5.6 SHORT-CIRCUIT CURRENT-LIMITING TEST:

Test the power amplifier channels separately, without load:
- drive the power amplifier inputs with a burst signal (f = 1 kHz, 10 cycles, rate: _ 0.5 sec.) and U (E) = +6
dBu.
- include an 1 _ load resistor.
- the short-circuit current-limiting circuitry attenuates the output voltage at the load resistor symmetrically
(observe on the oscilloscope) to a peak voltage of 25 V - 27 V (approx. 25 A - 27 A maximum peak current).

5.7 DC-VOLTAGE PROTECTION CIRCUIT TEST:

This test can only be performed when measuring single printed board assemblies.
Test the power amplifier channels separately:
- drive each channel of the power amplifier with a test signal (f = 4 Hz) applied to the FET Q316 respectively
Q516 Drain, without load.
- when reaching an input voltage of approximately 10 dBu, the protection circuit responds and tries to re-
activate

6
 continuously! The protect-LED lights.
- Repeat the test using a test signal of f = 14 Hz. The power amplifier has to stay in operation.

5.8 HIGH FREQUENCY PROTECTION CIRCUIT TEST:

Caution: Operate the power amplifier under all circumstances without load resistors connected. Apply to one
power amplifier channel at the time a sine burst of f = 80 kHz (40 ms ON, 960 ms OFF) with +20 dBu. The
protection circuit has to respond and the power amplifier tries to re-activate continuously. The PROTECT-LED
blinks rhythmically. Repeat the test with f = 50 kHz. The power amplifier has to stay in operation.

13.2 Interference noise

- U (F) = extraneous voltage, unweighted with B = 22 Hz … 22 kHz, eff. value (IEC 268-1)
- U (G) = noise voltage, frequency weighting filter according to CCIR-468-3, quasi-peak-rated (IEC 268-1)
- U (A) = interfering voltage A-weighted, dB (A), eff. value (IEC 268-1)

13.3 Functioning test

Drive the FX 1 and the FX 2 units. Listen to the signal while switching the presets.
7-segment LED-Display: All bars have to light at the same intensity.
The FX-unit should not introduce extreme digital interference or extensive noise to the audio signal.
During the (ON/OFF) switching of the FX1/2 units, no switching noise should occur.
Switch the FX unit via foot switch.

14. Lit-light connector

Connect a 40 ohms / 10 watts resistor to the pins 2 and 3 of the LAMP-connector. The measured voltage should
indicate 12 volts DC.

15. Displays
At the mentioned input-voltage the LED starts lighting. Gain and AUX1/2 controls set to their maximum with
a tolerance of ±2 dB.
Display Input U(E) / dBu
SIGNAL of a monaural channel LINE Mono - 52
PEAK of a monaural channel LINE Mono - 26
SIGNAL of a stereo channel LINE Stereo L/Mono - 32
PEAK of a stereo channel LINE Stereo L/Mono -6
PEAK FX1 / FX2 LINE Mono - 65

The display within the master section indicates the corresponding output level at the MAIN OUT; in dBu.
Check the indicated display-value of the MAIN OUT for every LED.
