Section V<br />

Paragraphs 5-74 to 5-76<br />

5-74. The cause of excessive output ripple on any of<br />

the supplies can be isolated in the following manner.<br />

Measure the ripple at the output of the rectifiers of<br />

the supply in question. Compare the measurement<br />

with the value given on the schematic diagram, fig-<br />

ure 5-33. If the ripple is excessive, check the input<br />

filter capacitors and bleeder resistors. If the input<br />

ripple is normal, the cause is most likelylow gain in<br />

the amplifier transistors.<br />

Symptom<br />

High output<br />

Procedure<br />

Disconnect base lead of Q461 from<br />

printed circuit board. This is the<br />

yellow lead which connects to rear<br />

edge of board adjacent to fan motor<br />

Reconnect yellow wire to printed<br />

circuit board and short collector<br />

of Q464 to emitter.<br />

Low output Short collector of Q462 to emitter<br />

Remove short from Q462 and meas-<br />

ure voltage across CR465<br />

Measure voltage across R470<br />

Measure voltage from collector of<br />

Q464 to emitter<br />

Effect<br />

Output remains high<br />

Voltage drops<br />

Output remains low<br />

Trouble<br />

Q461 shorted<br />

5-75. Table 5-5 gives troubleshooting aids for lo-<br />

cating causes of loss of regulation in each supply.<br />

5-76. The balance between the +6.3 volt and -6.3volt<br />

supply outputs and ground is determined by the supply<br />

load. The load is a series-parallel arrangement of<br />

tube heaters, diagrammed in figure 5-34. An unbal-<br />

anced output voltage can usually be traced to an open<br />

or shorted tube heater or a wrong type tube.<br />
