ELECTRICAL ADJUSTMENT
Bias Adjustment
NOTE:
1. Perform the adjustment after the unit has warmed up sufficiently.
2. Perform the bias adjustment if the power transistor has been
replaced.
Procedure:
1. Rotate fully the bias adjusting semi-fixed resistors (RV500,
RV600) to the MIN position (counterclockwise).
2. Connect a digital voltmeter to the CN500 and CN600.

3. Set the slide regulator to 0V, and press the POWER button
(ON) on the set.
4. Raise gradually the slide regulator voltage up to the rated voltage.
5. At this time, confirm that the SP relay is turned on (it will click).
6. Adjust the RV500 and RV600 so that a reading of digital
voltmeter is 7 ± 1 mV.
7. Return the slidack to 0 V, and press the POWER button (OFF)
on the set.

in each block.)
For schematic diagrams.
Note:
· All capacitors are in µF unless otherwise noted. pF: µµF
50 WV or less are not indicated except for electrolytics
and tantalums.
· All resistors are in
and 1/4 W or less unless otherwise
specified.
·
f
: internal component.
· 2 : nonflammable resistor.
· 5 : fusible resistor.
· C : panel designation.
For printed wiring boards.
Note:
· X : parts extracted from the component side.
· Y : parts extracted from the conductor side.
· b : Pattern from the side which enables seeing.
· U : B+ Line.
· V : B­ Line.
· H : adjustment for repair.
· Voltages and waveforms are dc with respect to ground
under no-signal (detuned) conditions.
no mark : POWER ON
· Voltages are taken with a VOM (Input impedance 10 M
).
Voltage variations may be noted due to normal produc-
tion tolerances.
· Waveforms are taken with a oscilloscope.
