Test 4: AC Power Draw
Spec: 100 Watts maximum quiescent.
Initial Conditions: Controls per standard.
Procedure: With no input signal and no load, measure
AC line wattage draw. If current draw is excessive,
check for high AC line voltage or high bias voltage.
Test 5: Common Mode Rejection
Spec at 100 Hz: –70 dB.
Spec at 20 kHz: –50 dB.
Initial Conditions: Controls per standard.
Procedure: No load. Inject a 0 dBu (.775VRMS) 100 Hz
sine wave into each channel, one channel at a time,
with inverting and non-inverting inputs shorted to-
gether. At the output measure less than –44 dBu
(4.9mVRMS). Inject a 0 dBu 20 kHz sine wave into
each channel, one channel at a time, with inverting and
non-inverting inputs shorted together. At the output
measure less than –24 dBu (49mVRMS). For Main
Modules with board numbers lower than D 7993-5
adjust N100 and N200 to calibrate CMR. For Main
Modules with board number D 7993-5 or greater
adjust R921 and R1021.
Test 6: Voltage Gain
Spec 26dB Gain: Gain of 20.0 ±3%.
Spec 0.775V Sensitivity: ±10%.
Spec 1.4V Sensitivity: ±10%.
Initial Conditions: Controls per standard.
Procedure: No load connected. Inject a 0.775 VAC 1
kHz sine wave with the Sensitivity Switch in the 26 dB
position. Measure 15.5 VAC ±0.5 VAC at the amplifier
output. Inject a 0.775 VAC 1 kHz sine wave with the
Sensitivity Switch in the 0.775V position. Measure 64
VAC ±6 VAC at the amplifier output. Inject a 1.4 VAC
1 kHz sine wave with the Sensitivity Switch in the 1.4V
position. Measure 64 VAC ±6 VAC at the amplifier
output. Return the Sensitivity Switch to the 26 dB
position.
Test 7: Phase Response
Spec: ±10° from 10 Hz to 20 kHz at 1 Watt.
Initial Conditions: Controls per standard, 8 ohm load on
each channel.
Procedure: Inject a 1 kHz sine wave and adjust for 1
Watt output (2.8 VAC). Check input and output signals
against each other, input and output signals must be
within 10° of each other.
Electrical Checkout Procedures
Test 8: Level Controls
Spec: Level controlled by level controls.
Initial Conditions: Controls per standard.
Procedure: No Load. Inject a 1 kHz sine wave. With
level controls fully clockwise you should see full gain.
As controls are rotated counterclockwise, observe
similar gain reduction in each channel. When com-
plete, return level controls to fully clockwise position.
Test 9: Current Limit
Spec: Current Limit at 36 Amps, ±5 Amps
Initial Conditions: Controls per standard.
Procedure: Load each channel to 1 Ohm. Inject a 1 kHz
differentiated (or 10% duty cycle) square wave. See
figure 4. Increase output level until current limit oc-
curs. Current limit should occur at 36 ±5 Amps (36
Vpk). Observe clean (no oscillations) current clipping.
Test 10: Slew Rate & 10 kHz Square Wave
Spec: 17 - 25 V/µS.
Initial Conditions: Controls per standard.
Procedure: Load each channel to 8 ohms. Inject a 10
kHz square wave to obtain 65 volts zero-to-peak at
each output. Observe the slope of the square wave. It
should typically measure 13 to 15 V/µS. Also, the
square wave must not include overshoot, ringing, or
any type of oscillation.
Test 11: Crosstalk
Spec: -60dB at 20 kHz.
Initial Conditions: Controls per standard. Terminate
input of channel not driven with 600 ohms.
Procedure: 8 ohm load on each channel. Inject a 20 kHz
sine wave into the Channel 1 input and increase output
level to 63 VAC. Measure less than 63 mVAC at the
output of Channel 2. Inject a 20 kHz sine wave into the
Channel 2 input and increase output level to 63 VAC.
Measure less than 63 mVAC at the output of Channel
1.
