This document serves as a service manual for the Alpine Main Amplifier, Model 3002, which features a Pulse Regulated Power Supply.
The Alpine Main Amplifier, Model 3002, is designed to amplify audio signals, providing a robust power output for speaker systems. Its core functionality revolves around a pulse-regulated power supply, which is a key feature for efficient and stable power delivery. The amplifier includes input sensitivity controls for both high and low impedance sources, allowing for flexibility in connecting various audio devices. It also incorporates a power indicator to show operational status. The amplifier is equipped with multiple input and output leads for connecting speakers, input sources, and power, including dedicated leads for use as a power booster.
The amplifier operates on a power source of 14V D.C., with an allowable range of 11 to 16V. Power Output: More than 43W per channel into a 4-ohm load, across a frequency range of 30 Hz to 20 kHz, with a Total Harmonic Distortion (T.H.D.) of 0.2%. Distortion (T.H.D.): Less than 0.2% (4 ohm, 30 Hz to 20 kHz, 43W x 2). IM Distortion: 0.2% (4 ohm, 500mW to 43W IHF, Din Input). Frequency Response:
The internal components include various transistors (2SC1913, 2SC1826, 2SA912, 2SA921, 2SC2722), diodes (SR1K-4, 1SR-17-200, BZ-050, S-3V-20, CTU-22S, WZ-210), capacitors (ceramic, mylar, electrolytic), resistors (carbon film, metal film), transformers (Driver, Power), filters (Line, Choke), speaker coils, and integrated circuits (SI-1340H). It also features fuses for protection (20A and 4A).
The amplifier provides a straightforward interface for users. Input Sensitivity Switch Lever (SW001): Allows selection between HIGH and LOW input sensitivity, accommodating different source signal levels. Power Indicator (D001): A red LED that illuminates to indicate that the amplifier is powered on. 5P INPUT Din Jack (E001): A standard DIN connector for audio input. Speaker Output Leads (J001): Clearly labeled leads for connecting right (Gray) and left (Green) speakers. Input Leads (J003, J004): Separate gray and green leads for right and left input, respectively, specifically for use when the device functions as a power booster. Power Lead (J006): A yellow lead for connecting to the battery, providing the main power supply. Ground Lead (J007): A black lead for grounding the amplifier. Ignition Switch Lead (J008): A red/white lead for connection to the ignition switch, likely for remote power control. +B Lead (J009): A red lead providing +B voltage for a tuner/deck or radio player. Ground/Input Lead (J005): A black lead for ground or input when used as a power booster. Fuse Holders (4A and 20A): External fuse holders for easy access and replacement, ensuring protection against overcurrent.
