b. Voltage high b. Check VR3 for open.
c. Voltage low c. Check VR3 for short.
Note: A short within U1, U2, U3, or U4 can
cause low +7.5V or -12.4V bias voltages
2 Check -6.2V reference, a. Normal a. Proceed to step (3).

b. Voltage high b. Check VR1 for open.
c. Voltage low c. Check VR1 and Q14 for short, VR2
and Q15 for open. (A short within U4
could reduce this voltage.)
3 Check -12.4V bias, a. Normal a. Proceed to +20V supply troubleshooting
TP3 to common (-12.4V±5%) Table 5-5.
b. High voltage b. Check Q11 for short, Q12 for open,
and Z1 for open between pins 3 and 5.
c. Low voltage c. Check Q11 for open, Q12 for short, and
Z1 for open between pins 1 and 3.
