How to service
Front line service
BeoLab 5 must be serviced in the customers home in terms of electrical symptoms
or exhange of mechanical parts such as cloth frame, microphone or foot. In this
way you avoid having to transport the heavy loudspeaker (967mm/Ø485mm,61kg)
from and back to the customer. For front line service we offer a back-up suitcase.
All needed electrical parts are found in the back-up suitcase (beside the transformer
and lower woofer). Mechanical parts (cloth frame, foot, cabinet or alu. plates)
must be ordered separately.
Service documentation
Service documentation for the BeoLab 5 will be a “Service Center repair guide” with
part no. for the back-up suitcase, electrical and mechanical parts, User’s guides etc.
Converting mains voltage supply
If it is necessary to change voltage supply, e.g. when moving between two countries,
it is necessary to order new mains transformer and a jumper on the ICEsystem 1
PCB6 (J200 = 220-240Vac, J201 = 100-120Vac). For US/JPN the fuse F10/11 on
the mains lter PCB1 must be changed from T5A to T10A also.
E.g.: Moving from EU (type 6881) to Japan (type 6884) with a pair of BeoLab 5,
order two mains transformers for type 6884, and move the jumper on the
ICEsystem 1 PCB6 from J200 to J201 to adapt both speakers to the 100Vac mains
voltage.

1.2 Warnings – PIN code protection, English
STATIC ELECTRICITY
MAY DESTROY THE
PRODUCT
Warnings
ESD
When electrical replacements or disassembly is taking place, use a ESD-mat.
The internal electronic are very sensitive to static electricity.
General warnings
Wear cutton cloves to avoid any ngerprints on the product.
The aluminium surfaces on the product is very sensitive, so handling should be
done with great care to avoid damage.
The mechanical limit for the driver is easily reached when the vacuum tightness in
BeoLab 5 is broken.
PIN code protection
The PIN code protection system will be introduced in autumn 2003.
This will be the known PIN code system, which are used in others products. The
system will be mentioned in the user guide when introduced. Like on other
products you will be able to use the service master code, when service is
performed (11111).
PIN code protection is introduced from serial number : _________________

The main chassis in the back-up suitcase, is setup as a EU version. If it should be
used in a JPN or US product, it will need to be converted. See page 6.4.
Service tips
Symptom:
The loudspeaker does not switch on, and the stand-by diode is always red.
Cause:
The amplier is in protection-mode. The cause can be to high a load due to for
instance a disconnected/broken loudspeaker unit or NTC-PCB. The cause can also
be an internal fault in the main chassis.
Solution:
Check the load from the unit (b.m.o. an Ohm-meter) and replace the loudspeaker
unit, NTC-PCB or main chassis by using the back-up suitcase which contains all
necessary parts for On-site service. (Does not contain lower woofer or transformer).
Bring the main chassis into service position, and mount the complete lens again,
this way you can check the connection all the way through the lens. When the
chassis is in service position disconnect P3 on PCB6. On this plug you will be able
to check the tweeter and midrange unit, with a digital multimeter.
Service tips, English 5.1
Between red and orange there should be 5.7 ohm (midrange)
Between green and yellow there should be 3.0 ohm (tweeter)
The LB and UB can be measured directly on the units, after disconnecting the plugs.
The LB should measure 3.1 ohm
The UB should measure 5.0 ohm
All four NTC resistors should measure 470Kohm.
Note!
A thermal overload shuts down the BeoLab 5. Disconnect the mains for a few
seconds to reset BeoLab 5.

Service tool
To service BeoLab 5 a LabTop with the Bang & Olufsen service tool application is
needed. With the “Service Tool” it is possible to read error codes, service counters
and product ID and to save them in a le. (The service tool is downloaded from
the Retail System).
It is also possible to read data from the EEPROM and write data to the EEPROM.
This is necessary when a driver unit or a EEPROM has to be replaced. Test functions
and software update are also possible.
Replacement of driver
If it should be necessary to replace one of the driver units there are several things
to be aware of. For service purposes each driver is measured separately and the
result of this measurement is stored in a server at Bang & Olufsen together with a
specic serial number for each driver.
A label is placed on the driver with its serial number. In BeoLab 5 the data
belonging to drivers are stored in a EEPROM, placed in a socket on the chassis. In
a repair situation it is necessary to be able to write the data - belonging to the
actually driver to the EEPROM. This is done with a LapTop with the Bang & Olufsen
Service Tool application.
All data for the drivers will be available in the Retail System.
The procedure:
Access the Retail System and download driver data for BeoLab 5. Data for all
existing drivers will be downloaded to the LapTop. This is done to be sure that the
technicians have access to the correct data.
When the technician has replaced a defective driver in BeoLab 5 he must check
the serial number of the new driver - written on a label, placed on the driver.
Connect the cable between the LapTop and BeoLab 5 and start the Service Tool
and access “BeoLab 5” in the menu.
Choose the function for writing to the EEPROM and key in the serial number. The
application will automatically nd the correct data for the actual driver. Press the
button for write and the data will be transferred to BeoLab 5. An extra label with
the serial number is supplied with the driver. This must be placed on the cabinet.
5.2 Service tool - Replacement of driver, English

Replacement of EEPROM
If the EEPROM is defect the data for all the drivers must be written into a new
EEPROM. The serial number for the drivers can be found on the drivers/cabinet.
The serial number refers to the data for the actually driver.
Procedure:
When the defect EEPROM is replaced the data of the drivers must be written to
the EEPROM via the service tool:
- Connect the cable between the LapTop and BeoLab 5 and start the Service Tool
and access “BeoLab 5” in the menu. Choose the function for writing to the
EEPROM and key in the serial numbers written on the labels. The application will
automatically nd the correct data for the actual drivers. Press the button for write
and the data will be transferred to BeoLab 5.
ABC calibration after repair:
When the EEPROM has been changed the actual ABC ltres are lost. This means
that it is necessary to let BeoLab 5 carry out the ABC calibration.
Replacement of the chassis
If the electronic chassis has a defect the complete chassis - except the EEPROM -
must be replaced. The EEPROM contains driver data and must be moved from the
defect chassis to the new one. If it is necessary to replace the EEPROM - for instance
because of lightning - the driver data must be read in.
Cleaning
Clean the loudspeaker surfaces using a lint-free cloth which you have wrung rmly
in lukewarm water. Never use a vacuum cleaner to clean the two domes. However,
the front speaker cloth may be cleaned with a vacuum cleaner with a brush nozzle,
and set to the lowest suction level.
Never use alcohol or other solvents to clean any parts of the loudspeaker.
