This change is applicable to all units with serial numbers NB84111 or over, 1. The new Overload Detector Circuit saves adjustment of overload protection. Accordingly, resistors R749, 777, 781 and VR705 (R750, 78, 782 and VR706 for R-channel) and transistors Q719 and 720 (R- channel) are eliminated from the Driver Circuit of the new unit, 2. Because of the modification explained in 1, the new Driver PC Board assembly used for repair is given a new number, to distinguish it from conventional Driver PC Board. ‘a. The new Driver PC Board assembly (Part No. 141610324) and the newly designed Overload Detector PC Board assembly (Part No. 141810874) are applicable to units with serial numbers NBB4111 or over. 3. To attach the new Overload Detector PC Board to conventional units (with serial numbers up to NB84110), it is necessary to drill two holes in the Driver PC Board fitting plate. The following parts are necessary to attach the new PC Board. 4, Parts Required a. PC Board fitting plate: Part No. 120012231... 2 pes. b. Screw 3 x 6mm: Part No. 705213006 ............. 4 pes. cc. Nut, M3 hex: Part No. 770402201 , = 2 pes. 5. How to attach a, Drill two $3.6 holes in the Driver PC Board fitting plate. See Fig. A. b, Attach the Overload Detector PC Board to the Driver PC Board fitting plate as shown in Fig. 8. c. The fitting position of the Overload Detector PC Board as seen from chassis top is illustrated in Fig. C, 6. See Figs, D and E for the new Overload Detector Circuit and connection 7. To check operation of Overload Protection Circuit when new Overload Detector PC Board is employed ‘a. Connect an 8-ohm load resistor to speaker termi- nals and produce 1.2-volt output (1,000H2 sine wave signal) at the terminals. b, Maintaining this state, check that Speaker Relay RY801 is set to OFF the instant the speaker terminals are short-circuited. Screw. 246 OVERLOAD, DETECTOR a NUT. M3; | Pca FITTINGS. DRIVER PCB FITTINGS c. Next, increase the output voltage at the speaker terminals to 25.3V (both channels driven} 1) Check to see that Speaker Relay is not set to OFF by connecting a 1.5-ohm resistor to the terminals. 2) Check to see that Speaker Relay is set to OFF by connecting 0.5-ohm resistor to the terminals.
