ADJUSTMENTS
(For Qualified Service Personnel Only)
CAUTION
The follo wing adjustments require removal
of the top cover. Use standard precautions
to prevent electric shock or accidental short
circuits within the unit.
OUTPUT METER ADJUSTMENT
This is a factory adjustment that normally is not re-
quired in the field. If a meter replacement is required, a
calibration adjustment may be needed. Proceed as
follows:
Feed a 1 kHz input signal in radio or phono jack.
Connect an A.C. V.T.V.M. across half the program
line (Pin 6 and 1 on output socket). With program
level control adjusted to read 12.5 volts on the
V.T.V.M., turn the meter control R102 (potenti-
ometer nearest to front panel) until the needle reaches
the black mark on meter scale.
EMERGENCY LEVEL ADJUSTMENT
This is a factory adjustment that sets the emergency
output level the same as the intercom output level. If it
is necessary to adjust this level, turn the level control
RlOl
(potentiometer furthest from front panel) clock-
wise to increase output.
REPLACING COMPONENTS
All semiconductor components on the printed circuit
board are soldered in place to ensure maximum reliabil-
ity. When soldering or unsoldering transistors or
diodes, use a heat sink (such as a small alligator clip)
between the component and the source of heat. When
replacing driver and output transistors (QlO-Qll), be
certain to install the collector insulator, after lightly
coating both sides with a thermal conducting compound
(such as Dow Corning No. 340, or equivalent).
REPLACEMENT PARTS
Most components used in
Bogen
equipment are
standard parts available through reputable parts deal-
ers. This section lists those parts which should be re-
placed with genuine
Bogen
parts, available through
Bogen
distributors, service agency or directly from the
factory.
When ordering a part, give the part number and de-
scription as listed below. Specify the model of the unit.
For parts in the MCT-1 control chassis, specify the
series designation, which is a letter followed by numbers
and is stamped or screened on the rear of the chassis.
