STEP 3: POWER UP PROCEDURE WITHOUT M1002A BOARDS
It is extremely important that you never power up an AP3400 with the interconnecting cablesbetween the circuit
boards not connected.
Time and possible further damage will be reduced if you test M1011A and M1002A boards separately. To do this you
must use the M1011A and M1002A test connecters. These are shown in figures #5 and #6. These can be made if the
Molex connector parts are available or order them from the Yorkville Service Parts Dept. With the test connectors
connected to every board, slowly variac up the line AC voltage.
NOTE:
It may be simplier to remove the power supply connections to M1002A boards not being troubleshooted to
reduce the possibility of further damage. With the M1011A test connector connected, a sinewave can be passed
through the board and be seen on test points 5 and 6. With the M1002 Atest connector installed, static DC
measurements can be made. A slight DC offset may be present on the board?s output as there will not be any DC
correcting feedback.
STEP 4: DISMANTLING AND REASSEMBLY PRECAUTIONS
A.
When removing power supply wires or resoldering wires to eyelets on the M1011A board, double check that there
are no solder bridges or icicles bridging traces or other eyelets. Failure to do so will result in the destruction of
newly installed boards as well as other boards in the unit. Also make sure wire color codes are correctly oriented
in their proper eyelets, and be careful that ribbon cables don?t get pinched or cut under the M1011A board.
B.
When reinstalling M1002A boards, make sure the output wires, i.e. the red and yellow signal and black ground
wires, are not reversed. If either or both channels are reversed, the amp will stay in protect mode with the red
protect LED staying on or sampling on and off.
