leakage current tester (Simpson Model 229 or equivalent) maybe
used to make the hot checks, leakage current must not exceed 1/2
milliamp. Incase ameasurement isoutside of the limits specified,
there isapossibilityof ashock hazard, and the equipment should
be repaired and rechecked before itisreturned to the customer.
2. Handling the Lead-free Solder
2.1. About lead free solder (PbF)
Distinction of PbF P.C.B. :
P.C.B.s (manufactured) using leadfree solderwill have a PbF stampon the P.C.B.
Caution:
-Pb free solder has ahigher melting point that standard solder;
Typicallythe melting point is50 -70°F (30 -40°C)higher. / Please
use ahigh temperature soldering iron. Incase of the soldering
iron with temperature control, please set itto 700 ± 20°F (370 ±
10°C).
-Pb free solder will tend to splash when heated too high (about
1100°F/600°C).
-When soldering or unsoldering, please completelyremove all of
the solder on the pins or solder area, and be sure to heat the
soldering points with the Pb free solder until itmelts enough.
3. Before Repair and Adjustment
Disconnect AC power, discharge PowerSupplyCapacitors C546, C547, C548, C549 through a
10 , 1 W resistortoground.
DO NOTSHORT-CIRCUITDIRECTLY (witha screwdriverblade, forinstance), as this may
destroysolidstate devices.
Afterrepairs are completed, restore powergraduallyusing a variac, toavoidovercurrent.
Current consumption at AC 230~240V, 50Hz inNO SIGNALmode shouldbe ~250 mA (EB).
Current consumption at AC 230V, 50Hz inNO SIGNALmode shouldbe ~250 mA (EG).
4. Protection Circuitry
The protection circuitrymayhave operatedif eitherof the following conditions are noticed:
-Nosound isheard when the power isturned on.
-Stops during aperformance.
The function of this circuitryis toprevent circuitrydamage if, forexample, the positive and
negative speakerconnection wires are “shorted”, orif speakersystems withanimpedance less
thanthe indicatedratedimpedance of the amplifierare used.
If this occurs, followthe procedure outlines below:
1. Turn off the power.
2. Determine the cause of the problem and correct it.
