General Precautions Avoid storing or using the mixing console in conditions of excessive heat or cold,
or in positions where it is likely to be subject to vibration, dust or moisture. Do not
use any liquids to clean the fascia of the unit: a soft dry brush is ideal. Use only
water or ethyl alcohol to clean the trim and scribble strips. Other solvents may cause
damage to paint or plastic parts.

Avoid using the console close to strong sources of electromagnetic radiation (e.g.
video monitors, highpower electric cabling): this may cause degradation of the audio
quality due to induced voltages in connecting leads and chassis. For the same
reason, always site the power supply away from the unit.

Caution! In all cases, refer servicing to qualified personnel.

Handling and Transport The console is supplied in a strong carton. If it is necessary to move it any distance
after installation it is recommended that this packing is used to protect it. Be sure
to disconnect all cabling before moving. If the console is to be regularly moved we
recommend that it is installed in a foamlined flightcase. At all times avoid applying
excessive force to any knobs, switches or connectors.

Power Supplies & cables Always make sure that the power supply unit (PSU) has been set to the same voltage
as the mains supply

Always use the power supply and cable supplied with the mixer: the use of
alternative supplies may cause damage and voids the warranty; the extension of
power cables may result in malfunction of the mixing console.

Warning! Always switch the power supply off before connecting or

disconnecting the mixer power cable, removing of installing
modules, and servicing. In the event of an electrical storm, or large
mains voltage fluctuations, immediately switch off the PSU and
unplug from the mains.

Always ensure that you use the correct PSU for your mixer. The RM100 uses a
CPS150 power supply for the 8, 12 and 20 input frames.

1.4 Introduction
Signal Levels It is important to supply the correct input levels to the console, otherwise signalto
noise ratio or distortion performance may be degraded; and in extreme cases,
damage to the internal circuitry may result. Likewise, on all balanced inputs avoid
sources with large commonmode DC, AC or RF voltages, as these will reduce the
available signal range on the inputs. Note that 0dBu = 0.775V RMS.

The microphone inputs are designed for use with balanced low impedance (150 or
200 ohms) microphones.

Caution! DO NOT use unbalanced microphones or battery powered

condenser microphones without isolating the +48V phantom power:
degraded performance or damage to the microphone may result.

The sensitivity of the Mic inputs is variable from -20dBu to -70dBu, with a
maximum input level of +6dBu. The Line Input sensitivity is variable from -48dBu
to +2dBu with a maximum input level of +28dBu.

The Stereo and Telco input sensitivity is variable from -12dBu to +9dBu, with a
maximum input level of +28dBu.

The main outputs of the console (PGM, AUD and MONO) are balanced at a nominal
level of 0dBu, with the option of -10dBV on the AUD output by changing internal
jumpers. Maximum output level is +26dBu into 600 ohms.

The Telco mix-minus output is balanced at a nominal level of 0dBu with a maximum
output level of +20dBu into 600 ohms.

 Installation

Installation 2.1
 ,QVWDOODWLRQ

The RM100 is designed for reliability and high performance, and is built to the
highest standards. Whilst great care has been taken to ensure that installations are
made as troublefree as possible, care taken at this stage, followed by correct setting
up will be rewarded by a long life and reliable operation.

Wiring Considerations A For optimum performance it is essential for the earthing system to be clean and
noisefree, as all signals are referenced to this earth. A central point should be
decided on for the main earth point, and all earths should be ’star-fed’ from this
point. It is recommended that an individual earth wire be run from each electrical
outlet, back to the system star point to provide a safety earth reference for each piece
of equipment.

B Install separate mains outlets for the audio equipment, and feed these
independently from any other equipment.

C Avoid locating mains distribution boxes near audio equipment, especially tape
recorders, which are very sensitive to electromagnetic fields.

D Where possible ensure that all audio cable screens and signal earths are
connected to ground only at their source.

Power Supply Always ensure that you use the correct PSU for your mixer. The RM100 uses a
CPS150 power supply for the 8, 12 and 20 input frames.

Warning! Before switching on your RM100 console, check that the mains
voltage selectors on the power supply unit is set to the correct
mains voltage for your area, and that the fuse is of the correct rating
and type. This is clearly marked on the case of the power supply.
Do not replace the fuse with any other type, as this could become a
safety hazard and will void the warranty.

2.2 Installation
 &RQQHFWLRQV

Wiring conventions The RM100 uses various different types of audio connector: 3-pin XLR , 1⁄4" 3-pole
jacks and ‘D’ type connectors. This section describes how to connect external
equipment to the console. Correctly-made cables of the proper type will ensure
peak performance from your console.

Description & Operation

Specification

Mic/Line Input Module 4.1

 0LF/LQH,QSXW0RGXOH

Input Stage
Two inputs, one microphone level and one line level, are provided to the module
on separate XLR connectors. The MIC input has +48V Phantom Power available,
1 which may be activated by an internal jumper.

1 Each input has individual GAIN control via a multiturn preset which may be
adjusted using a small screwdriver through the front panel.
2
2 The LINE switch selects the Line Input socket when depressed and the Mic
Input socket when released. An LED in the switch glows red when the Line Input
is selected.
5 Note that phantom power is not connected to the LINE XLR, even when selected
on the MIC input.

3 Cueing
3 The CUE switch works in conjunction with a microswitch on the Fader.
Pressing the electronically latching CUE switch routes the pre-fade, pre-mute signal
to the stereo Cue bus. This signal appears on the Headphones or Cue Speaker (if
fitted) and can be selected onto the main monitors by pressing the AUTO CUE
button on the Master module.
4
Cue may be cancelled in three ways:
• Pressing the CUE switch a second time
• Moving the fader away from rest at infinity
• Pressing the ON button (see below)

CUE cannot be selected when the module is ON, and the Fader lifted away from
the end stop. If the Fader is fully down, CUE may be selected in the normal way.

Output Control
4 The smoothaction, 100mm FADER gives a gain of 10dB when it is in the fully
up position. The 10 scale marking corresponds to a nominal unity gain.

There is a microswitch attached to the Fader which detects when it is in the fully
down position. This microswitch affects the ON and CUE functions which are
described in this section.

6 5 The mono Fader output may be routed to a choice of two stereo mix busses,
PGM and AUD. These switches are mechanically latching and have an integral
LED to show when the bus is selected. The output is only active when the module
is switched ON (see below).

4.2 Mic/Line Input Module

 6 The output from the module is controlled by the ON and OFF switches, in
conjunction with the fader microswitch.

If the Fader is fully down:

Pressing the ON switch prepares the module to be active, and lights the red LED in
the ON switch at half brightness. The signal becomes active as soon as the Fader
is moved away from the infinity position, and the LED changes to full brightness.

If the Fader is lifted:

Pressing the ON switch immediately activates the module, and the LED lights at
full brightness.

Pressing the OFF switch will always turn the module off.

Send/Return
A pre-fade, pre-talkback Insert Point is provided on a 1/4" 3-pole jack on the rear
panel. This allows for the use of an effects machine to be added to the mono input
channel, e.g. voice processor, echo. The send and return lines are unbalanced and
care will need to be taken with the length and type of leads which are used.

Rear Connector Panel The Insert is bypassed when no jack is connected.

Jumper Options
J1 Fit in position ‘B’ to enable +48V Phantom Power to the MIC input XLR.

J2 Fit to enable the pre-fade module output to the Talkback Mix bus which
feeds the Telco module clean feed output.

Main Outputs
The Master module incorporates the mix amps outputs for the PGM and AUD
busses, plus a MONO output which can be sourced from the PGM or AUD busses
as selected by the MONO OUTPUT SOURCE switches (see below). These three
outputs are electronically balanced on male XLR connectors on the rear panel.

Output levels are nominally 0dBu, but the AUD outputs may be changed via internal
jumpers to give -10dBV.

Master Faders are available as an option for the PGM and AUD outputs.

External Inputs
There are four stereo external available on a 15-pin male ‘D’-type connector on the
rear panel. Inputs 1 & 2 are electronically balanced at 0dBu and Inputs 3 & 4 are
unbalanced at -10dBV.

Mono Output
1 The MONO OUTPUT SOURCE switches select either one or both of PGM
or AUD as the source for the MONO output. Integral LED indicators illuminate
when the source is selected.

Monitoring
Separate source selectors feed the Guest Headphones, Control Room Monitors and
the Presenter’s Headphones

Guest Headphones
2 The LEVEL control sets the output level to the stereo Guest Headphones output.
The source is normally PGM.

3 Normally the Cue signal appears on the Presenter’s Heaphones and Cue Speaker
in the meterbridge (when fitted). Pressing AUTO CUE routes an active CUE to
the Guest Headphones, replacing the normal PGM source. When the CUE is
released the headphones return to the original source.

4 Pressing T/B routes the signal from the Talkback Bus directly to the Guest
Headphones, replacing the PGM signal. (The Talkback Bus normally carries the
Presenter’s Mic signal via a dedicated Mic/Line input with the Talback jumper
fitted). The PGM signal is restored when T/B is released.

Control Room Monitor

5 Three SOURCE SELECT switches provide a choice of External Input 1, PGM
or AUD as the source for the monitors.

3 The LEVEL control sets the output level to the stereo C/Room Monitor jack
on the rear panel. The outputs are unbalanced.

LED illuminates to show that a ’Mic Live’ condition has muted the monitors. The
same signal is used to activate a relay which provides two isolated single-pole
contact closures on the 9-pin ‘D’-type REMOTE socket on the rear panel.

8 Normally the Cue signal appears on the Presenter’s Heaphones and Cue Speaker
in the meterbridge (when fitted). Pressing AUTO CUE routes an active CUE to
the Control Room Monitors, replacing the previous source. When the CUE is
switched off the monitor returns to the original source.

Presenter’s Headphones
9 Six SOURCE SELECT switches provide a choice of External Inputs 1-4, PGM
or AUD as the source for the headphones.

10 The LEVEL control sets the level of the headphone signal.

11 The headphone output is a 3-pole 1/4" jack.

12 The meterbridge is fitted with a pair of VU meters as standard. The METER

SELECT switches provide a choice of PGM, AUD or MON (C/Room Monitor) as
the source for the meters. Note that the MON position provides a means of
monitoring the external inputs via the C/Room Monitor source selection.

On the larger frame sizes an additional pair of meters may be fitted, and in this case
one pair of meters will always display the PGM output.

Power Input

CPS 150 P.1

 Introducing the CPS150

The CPS150 is a linear power supply which, like other linear supplies, produces
DC voltages by rectifying, smoothing and regulating AC voltages from the
secondary windings of a mains transformer.

In regulating these voltages there is some heat generated, the dissipation of

which is achieved through a ventilated cover.

The CPS150 is designed to be free standing or it can be installed in a 19" rack.

For rack mounting, an optional front panel provided with the necessary fixing
holes can be obtained from Soundcraft (Part No. PP2288). Refer to the section
"RECOMMENDATIONS FOR INSTALLATION" for details.

LED indication is provided on the front panel to show indication of operation

of all regulating circuits.

SAFETY APPROVAL: HD 195 S6 TYPE TESTED

This manual covers the CPS 150 unit, that has been type tested and conforms to
the CENELEC Harmonised Document HD195 S6, consisting of IEC 65
(1985)ed 5 and BS 415 1990, with CENELEC deviations.

 Mains Voltage Selection

Special attention should be given to the following information:

This unit is capable of operating over a wide range of mains voltages by means
of a comprehensive set of selectable voltage settings. It is important to ensure
that the correct voltage setting has been selected for the level of local mains
voltage supply, for safe, uninterrupted operation of the unit.

A COVER PLATE is secured to the back panel over the VOLTAGE

SELECTION switches. A cut out in one corner of the cover plate indicates one
of the mains voltages. It is essential that the MAINS VOLTAGE displayed by
the cover plate corresponds to both the LOCAL MAINS VOLTAGE and the
VOLTAGE SELECTION switches position.

Do not change the voltage setting without first unplugging the

mains lead.

There are two MAINS VOLTAGE SELECTION switches at the rear of the
unit, Voltage selection is achieved by moving the switches using a screwdriver
blade, into the correct positions, as shown by the symbols above the switches In
this way the unit is set up for operation at one of the following ranges of mains
supply:

NOMINAL VOLTAGE OPERATING VOLTAGE RANGE

Vrms AC Vrms AC

240 216-264

220 198-242

120 (115) 108-132

100 NORM. 90-110

NOTE: The cover plate must be replaced after setting of the

VOLTAGE SELECTION switches.

CPS 150 P.3

 Replacing Mains Fuse

In the event of incorrect switching of the mains voltage selectors, a mains power
surge or underrated fuse value, the mains fuse in the front panel will blow and
the CPS150 will not function. Switch the ON/OFF switch back to the OFF
position. Check the fuse and replace if necessary; also check that the voltage
selection is correct for the mains supply level before switching the unit ON
again.

TO AVOID RISK OF FIRE

REPLACE ONLY WITH THE
CORRECT VALUE FUSE, AS
INDICATED ON THE UNIT

In the event of repeated failure of the mains fuse consult the Soundcraft dealer
from where the unit was purchased.

THIS UNIT CONTAINS NO USER SERVICE-ABLE PARTS.

 Recommendations for Installation

The CPS150 power supply can be provided with an optional front panel with
fixing holes for 19" rack-mounting and will occupy 2U of rack space.

Location As with any power supply that contains a large mains voltage transformer, it is
preferable to provide a degree of physical isolation of the unit from other
electronic equipment, particularly that which carries low level audio signals, to
avoid any possible hum pick-up. For this reason the unit is provided with a long
(3.0 metres) output cable to enable it to be positioned away from the mixing
console.
For the same reason, when rack-mounting it is preferable to avoid locating the
unit near to signal processing equipment.
It should be noted that if a complete rack containing a CPS150 unit is to be
operated from a different mains supply level, then the unit should be withdrawn
from the rack in order to reselect the mains voltage setting, at the same time as
resetting any other equipment.

Ventilation The other important consideration when rack-mounting the unit is the need for
natural convection of air over the heatsink cooling fins.
Good ventilation below the unit, in the floor or back of the rack, and similarly
above the unit, at the top of the rack, will ensure a path for continuous air flow.
Other equipment in the rack which is known not to produce a significant amount
of heat should be mounted below the unit. Equipment that also relies on good
air flow within the rack (i.e.. most power amplifiers and other power supplies)
should be given due consideration and some space should be provided between
such units and between these and the CPS150 unit. Forced convection, by means
of a fan-tray, may be desirable in this situation.

Free standing The CPS150 is designed to operate as a free-standing unit without requiring any
special cooling arrangement, but should not be allowed to be accidentally or
deliberately covered in any way.

Earthing
Finally, some consideration should be given to the earthing arrangement of the
system at the centre of which are the console and the CPS150. The console
chassis is earthed, to the mains earth, via the power supply. When rack-mounting
the CPS150 care should be taken to avoid any possible ’ground loops’ in the
system which would introduce audible hum to otherwise clean audio signals.
Ground loops may occur where signal processing equipment, patched to the
console, has its signal earth commoned to the equipment chassis. The ground
loop is formed if this chassis and the CPS150 chassis are in electrical contact
through the fixing rails they share in the rack.

WARNING
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD THE MAINS EARTH
BE DISCONNECTED FROM THE CPS150 POWER SUPPLY UNIT

CPS 150 P.5

Optional Rackmount fixing
• Remove the four front cover fixing screws.

• Place the rack mounting panel over the CPS 150.

• Secure the rack mounting panel to the CPS 150, fitting two screws to the top,
and one to each side of the unit.

General Precautions As with all electrical/electronic equipment some care should be taken when
handling this unit. Avoid general mishandling and do not drop. Avoid storage
and operation in dusty locations and do not expose to corrosive atmospheres.

TO AVOID RISK OF FIRE DO NOT EXPOSE

THIS UNIT TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.

Retain all packaging for transportation in the event of the unit requiring
servicing. Retain this manual, along with all other relevant documents, safely.

 Circuit Description

The CPS150 is a Linear power supply, the operation of which avoids the
induction of switching noise, associated with switch-mode designs, in audio
signal paths. It has been possible to produce a design which is silent in
operation, and which will function over a greatly improved range of mains input
voltages. Additionally, the design of each supply is very similar and of a modular
format that will assist when servicing.

Mains Input
Refer to circuit diagram ED2770 which accompanies this section.
The mains supply is applied to the unit via the 3-pin IEC inlet on the unit back
plate. The earth feed is led directly to the chassis earth stud: AT NO TIME
SHOULD THIS CONNECTION BE BROKEN. The LIVE (black) and
NEUTRAL (white) feeds are led to the double-pole rocker switch on the front
of the unit, so that live and neutral switching to the following circuitry is made
simultaneously.
From this switch, the neutral feed is led directly to the MAINS PCB. The live
feed passes through the mains fuse (T1.0A 250V: 240V/220V or T2.0A 250V:
120V/100V) situated in the fuseholder on the front, below the ON-OFF switch,
and from there to the MAINS PCB.

Secondary Circuits
The design of the regulator circuitry is essentially the same for each supply rail,
but with different component values for the different voltage levels and power
requirements of the rails.
Each regulator circuit is fused at the input from the transformer secondary
winding, to protect against an over-current condition, in the event of component
failure in the regulator circuit.
Regulation is achieved using positive, adjustable voltage regulators, each housed
in a standard TO3 package, with the exception of the high voltage regulator for
the +48v rail, which is in a TO220 package.

Circuit description
Each regulator circuit is essentially similar, and the following general
description applies in each case. Component references are given for the +17V
rail as a guide.

The Mains Transformer steps-down the mains voltage to produce the required
alternating voltage across each secondary winding. The appropriate pair of
lead-outs (same colour) are connected to the REGULATOR PCB. One side of
this secondary feed is led directly to the bridge rectifier BR1, while the other is
routed via the secondary protective fuse F1 to the bridge rectifier. The level of
the secondary voltage may be measured by applying an AC voltmeter across the
desired pair of secondary lead-outs.

The voltage waveform between points 3 and 4 is full-wave rectified, and

smoothed by a high value electrolytic capacitor C1, so that it appear as a DC
voltage with a small AC ‘ripple’ element. This level may be measured with the
voltmeter set for DC. A 100nF capacitor C2 in parallel with the smoothing
capacitor but closer to the regulator ensures its stability under any condition of
capacitive load.

P.8 CPS 150

 The regulator REG1 is adjustable, the output voltage being set by a preset
potentiometer in series with a fixed resistance R2 between the adjustment pin
and the "0V" reference. This allows a degree of adjustment equal to:

NOMINAL RATED OUTPUT VOLTAGE (V.dc) -10% +(10% + 0.7 V

(each preset is set and fixed at the factory test stage)

The actual regulated output voltage level is given by:

Vout = Vref x (1 + Radj/R1) + Iadj x R2

~ Vref x (1 + Radj/R1) as Iadj is negligible (~100uA)
The value of R1 is optimised for each regulator type:
For LM338 REGULATORS REG 1, REG 2 R1 = 120R
FOR TL783C REGULATOR R1 = 82R

The electrolytic capacitor C3 in parallel with the adjustment resistor, PR1 + R2

(Radj), improves ripple rejection in the regulator, and also produces a time
constant that causes the DC output of the regulator to rise more slowly when the
unit is switched on. In the case of the +17V and -17 V rails the rise time is about
3 seconds.

The output filter capacitor C4, between the regulator output and the ‘0V’
reference, eliminates ‘ringing’ and a slow regulator shut-down time in the event
of the output becoming short-circuited.

The two diodes D2 and D1 around the regulator, situated between the
adjust-output and output-input terminals, provide protection for low-current
paths within the regulator in the event of a reverse-bias condition. This occurs
when the regulator input voltage is less than the voltage present at the regulator
output, causing the output filter capacitor C4 and the capacitor across the
adjustment resistor C3 to discharge ‘backwards’ through the circuit. In this
situation the reverse current would pass through the diodes instead of the
regulator.

The LED and series resistor R3, across the output of the regulator provide a
visual indication that the regulator circuit is operational, with the LED situated
on the forward edge of the circuit board, projecting through the front panel of
the unit.

The resistor R3 provides a current limit of approximately 10mA through the

LED in normal operation.

The regulated output voltage between the regulator output and the "0V"
reference line is fed to the DC OUTPUT CONNECTOR on the back of the
unit by a pair of 24/0.2 insulated wires that are soldered directly to solder pads
on the circuit board.

CPS 150 P.9

Negative Supply Rails All direct audio signal paths in the console require +17V and -17V supplies. The
negative rail is derived using the same basic regulator circuit described above,
but the regulator output is connected to the ‘0V’ reference of the complementary
positive supply rail through a link on the circuit board. This means that the ‘0V’
reference of the negative supply rail becomes the negative output with respect
to the regulator output terminal (for LM338 regulators the terminal is the case).

Shutdown Method for +/- 17V Outputs

Under normal operating conditions TR1 and TR2 are both inoperative, due to
the potential divider R4, R24 and D7.

If the +17V output shuts down due to fault conditions, this will cause a negative
potential on the base of TR1 to increase, and TR1 will conduct. The voltage on
the adjust pin of REG2 will decrease and will close down REG2 and the -17V
output.

The same principle of operation will also apply to the +17V output if the -17V
output should shut down under fault conditions.

CAUTION
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD TR1 OR TR2
BE REMOVED AS THIS WILL RESULT IN DAMAGE TO THE
CONSOLE UNDER SOME FAULT CONDITIONS.

P.10 CPS 150

 Servicing

THIS OPERATION SHOULD ONLY BE CARRIED OUT

BY A COMPETENT SERVICE ENGINEER.

Initial operational tests on the power supply can be carried out by switching the
unit ON and checking the voltages present on the output connector on the back
of the unit. While the unit remains disconnected from the mixing console the
DC voltage rails are floating with respect to each other, i.e. they do not all have
a common reference within the unit. When connection is made to the mixing
console various output pins become earthed to a common star-point, which has
a mains earth return in the power supply cable itself.

An indication of obvious fault condition is the failure of one or more of the

front-panel LED’s to light. Note that due to the automatic shutdown circuit on
the =/-17V rails, if a fault causes one rail to fail then the other rail will also shut
down., and neither LED will be illuminated.

Any fault condition, with the exception of simple mains fuse failure due to
underrating or an unusual mains input condition, will require removal of the top
cover to enable correction of the fault. This is achieved using a No. 1 or No. 2
cross-head screwdriver to remove the eight retaining screws and washers.

ENSURE THAT MAINS POWER IS REMOVED FROM THE UNIT

BEFORE REMOVING THE TOP COVER

Carefully lift the cover to avoid the earth connecting lead to the cover from
snagging. Place the cover face down behind the unit.

SERVICING COMPONENTS

REPLACEMENT OF ANY COMPONENTS SHOULD BE

UNDERTAKEN ONLY AFTER DISCONNECTING THE MAINS
SUPPLY LEAD FROM THE POWER SUPPLY UNIT.

Replacement of any of the fuses and regulators in the power supply units is
possible without the removal of the circuit board.

The fuses are held in open fuseholders on the board, close to the other
components associated with that circuit. These can be carefully removed by
hand.

The regulators that are in metal T03 packages can be removed by unscrewing
the two M3 screws on each end and lifting them by hand.

CPS 150 P.11

 If the electrically insulating SIL pad between the regulator and the heatsink
bracket looks damaged then it should be replaced before installing the new
regulator. Note that the regulators rely on good thermal contact with the
heatsinks to dissipate heat. The regulator fixing screws are used for an electrical
connection between the regulator output and the rest of the circuit on the PCB:
the case of the T03 package is at the output potential of the device.

The +48V regulator is a TL783C high voltage device housed in a TO220

package. It can be removed by first withdrawing the PCB, desoldering the three
legs and unscrewing the M3 fixing screw, taking care to retain the small
insulating bush beneath the head of the screw. Again, an insulating SIL pad is
used and this should be replaced if it appears to be damaged. The metal tab at
the top of the package is at the output potential of the device, as is the centre
lead. When refixing or replacing the device, it is preferable to screw the device
down before resoldering the leads, to avoid placing a strain on the circuit board
pads.

NOTE that the heatsink bracket is earthed through its mechanical contact with
the rest of the chassis and so a faulty SIL pad may cause the output of its
regulator to be connected to earth. In the case of a positive voltage rail the output
then becomes short circuited when the mixing console is connected. In this case
the regulator will shut down safely, unless faulty, and the associated front-panel
LED will not light. In the case of a negative voltage rail the regulator output is
normally earthed at the console anyway, and so a faulty SIL pad may not be so
apparent. It may, however, affect the noise performance of the supply rail by
producing a ground loop. This can be checked against the maximum expected
noise figures listed in the ‘Technical Specification’. Alternatively, if necessary
the negative supply rail can be isolated from its complementary positive rail by
removing the link on the circuit board, and an individual load can be applied
across the output of the supply rail with the ‘0V’ reference side commoned to
the chassis. The front-panel LED will not light if the output is short-circuited.

To replace any other components in a regulation circuit it is also necessary to

withdraw the circuit board.

First disconnect the leads to REG 1 and REG 2 by unplugging CN 1 and CN 2.

Unscrew the three No. 4 self-tapping screws holding down the PCB. Remove
the PCB, taking care not to damage the 3 LED indicators.

After servicing, re-assemble the unit in reverse, ensuring that all screws are fixed
tightly and that the PCB supports are latched onto the board. Re-dress cable
forms in their original positions and secure where applicable with cable ties.

General Before replacing the top cover on the unit, carefully remove any dust from
surfaces within the unit.

CAREFULLY CHECK ALL WIRING CONNECTIONS

AND ENSURE THAT THERE ARE NO LOOSE PARTS
LYING AROUND INSIDE THE UNIT.
