-15 V On A2 Control Board. Voltage regulator A2U4 regulates the voltage across resistor A2R32 to be 1.25Vdc.
Circuit Included. -15 Vdc bias supply circuitry from connector pin A2P1-30 through test point A2J3-21 on A2 control
board.
Setup. The Main Troubleshooting Setup, Page 48. Apply the ac mains voltage to the bias transformer, and set the external
supply to 0Vdc.

A2R33, A2R34 A2VR2 (cath.) 2.05Vdc
To check if load on -15V is shorted, remove jumper A2W3.
Refer to Down Programmer, for the + 8.9Vdc bias supply, and refer to OVP Circuit, for the + 2.5V bias supply.
Troubleshooting Down Programmer
The down programmer loads the output when either MASTER ENABLE is low or CV ERROR is more negative than about
- 6Vdc. Comparator A4U3B triggers down programming when the voltage at A4U3B-5 is less than about 3Vdc. The
collector-emitter current through transistor A4Q6 increases as the output voltage decreases because of feedback from
voltage divider A4R24-A4R27 at A4U3A-2
Circuit Included. Down programmer and 8.9V bias supply on A4 power mesh board.
Setup. The Main Troubleshooting Setup, Page 48, except connect the external supply to the unit’s + OUT ( + ) and - OUT
( - ) terminals. Apply the ac mains voltage to the bias transformer. Set the external supply (EXTERNAL) and adjust the
unit’s voltage setting (INTERNAL) as instructed below.
