POWER/METERING BOARD
10.2.1 Power-Up
a. Apply power and check power supply
regulator outputs for nominal voltages.
b. Check all red and green LEDls and mechanical
operation of the pushbuttons.
10.2.2 Beginning Settings
a. DRIVE pot full CCW.
b. RELEASE TIME full CWo
C. Equalizers CENTER (12 O'Clock)
d. All pushbuttons GREEN.
e. TEC off.
f. OUTPUT at +6.
NOTE: ALL TESTS ARE CONDUCTED WITH AN INPUT TO THE
LEFT CHANNEL ONLY EXCEPT STEP 10.2.6.
10.2.3 ALT Test
a. Set the generator for 1KHz at OdBm but turn off
the generator output. Switch PROCESS to ON.
b. Measure the ALT voltage on pin 7 of U501. It
should be about 1.8 to 2.0 volts DC.
c. Switch on the generator and raise the DRIVE from
minimum while watching the ALT voltage. The
ALT voltage should drop to about 1.4 volts before
full drive is reached.
