Testing the Power Supply Line-Stage Combination 

Be safe as you plug in the AC cord. Remember that lethal voltages will be 
present inside the preamp. 

 

Verify that the power supply output voltages are still in tolerance after 
connecting the power supply to the rest of the preamp. 

 

Measure DC voltage from any of the P15 terminals to any of the GND 
terminals. It should be 15 Volts, plus or minus 1 volt. 

 

Measure DC voltage from any of the N15 terminals to any of the GND 
terminals. It should be -15 Volts, plus or minus 1 volt. 

 

Final Re-Assembly 

Once you have verified correct voltages, it’s time to return your PAT-5 Preamp to 
service.  

Putting on the Cover 

 

Done? (

Place the cover on the preamp. Note that there is only one correct 
orientation. You’ll see the 4 holes on the sides line up when the orientation 
is correct.

 

 

Install the 4 black screws (2 on each side) that hold the cover in place 

 

Install the black screw that holds the center-back of the cover to the back 
panel.
